BEHOLD!!!.....

wow, i'm actually touched. i'll even forgive you if you claim that it's part of your collection to other people who are gullible enough to belive you ( ^ _ ^ )

yeah, i was torn whether to go through with Volk's Fate or Alter's Fate which in the end i succumbed to both to stop tormenting myself. indeed, it was a heavy price to pay for getting it of ebay which was practically doubled what it originally costs. it comes out to the same price as Alter's version so nuts to me for being a Nanoha fan. and yes, the bragging rights that comes with it is indeed something to abuse to the full extent.

yeah, if BRS and WiM do get released at the same time, that's a heavy burden in one go. if it were spread in different months, that would be fine. who knows, maybe they'll keep delaying BRS until the anime airs, heh.


HOLY CRAP:



now i know i said i'm limiting my purchases of figures to Nanoha (with a few exceptions), but this is a freakin must get!! i honestly don't care as much for the other puchi VOCALOIDS (they'd be nice to have though), but Neru is of the utmost importance. i'm pondering whether i should go with the gamble of paying $60 of a random box with 11 Kaitos or lucky enough to snag the desired Neru. unless there's some place that i don't know of that would sell each one individually, that's my only option. she would go great with my Miku puchi from Project Diva.

big news people~! i'm actually going to buy my own car! huzzah~! i've never really had a dream car before, but that was not until i saw it that i really wanted a car. that car in question is the Mica Blue 2010 Mazda 3: http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPag...vehicleCode=M3S

that is one sweet ride if i do say so myself. i particularly like it for its color because it reminds me of a certain twin tailed idol that we all know and love. and that's exactly what i'm going to do with it. i just need to find the decals which i hope they still have available. i know there's 1/24 scaled ones 2009 versions, but that's kind of small. anyways, once i do get it sometime in the near future, i'll post up some pics of it.

Haha, it almost feels so random that this topic is encompassing that. But are you seriously going to stick decals on it? I am pretty keen on customizing what I own but I don't know if I could ever do that to the car I'd be driving around.

To comment on what you were talking about awhile before. I did order the 12 package of the Vocaloid Petit figures on HLJ quite awhile back. I'm actually trying to find others who did so I have someone to actively trade with but if I do happen to get two of Neru, I'll be sure to send it your way. She's my favorite original design though, so I wouldn't be willing to part with it if I only got one unfortunately.

Oh and I don't think I ever posted the original thing here. But it doesn't really matter since the finished product is now complete.

I finally got custom artwork put on my the stick I ordered over the summer. The ball is actually something my roommate was nice enough to give me but I'm really happy about it since that blue ball looks 100x better then the white default ball I had.

All that I have left to do on it now is send it to someone who can install a dual PCB and new buttons for me. Otherwise I'm pretty good with how it is right now. Limited use but it's all nice and personal.

well it's not going to be full blown out decals that you see from the likes of Japan. obviously i won't have enough money to go that far, but it would be nice to advertise some Miku on my car especially since the color scheme practically screams Miku on it. my original plan was to have the famous Miku pose from the VOCALOID2 cover grace the hood, but i can't quite seem to find it. Goodsmile released the big decals of that a while back, but i don't think it's available anymore. and if putting that on the hood seems a bit too much, i'll put Hachune on the gas tank door or something, heh.

oooo, that'd be awesome if you got a double of Neru and sent it to me. although i feel bad getting it for free so i'll donate to your fund for your trouble via Paypal. just don't charge me $20 for it. i could only be so generous about it

wow, that BRS design was totally unexpected. i was guessing that was custom designed? of course it would be. i don't think Hori or other accessory companies know of BRS enough to put it on their products. still, even if you don't use it as much, it's nice to show off a piece of one of a kind design for a joystick. the ball color is perfect too which oddly enough reminds me of my (future) car.

Yeah, but still. About anything seems like it turns out like a lot. I mean in Japan the loads of decals already seems silly but only a little is fine. So by American standards once you get a little decals on your car, it's already ridiculous. Or something to that affect.

Ah don't worry about it. I mean the separate figures in total are like what? Maybe $4-5 of the total cost? It's not a big deal. In the end even if I make you pay for shipping you'd only be sending me like $4-5 dollars which just seems silly. Especially since PayPal might take some of it and I'd get like $3.

By the way, the stick was actually like this first: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shad...shwag/stick.jpg

Basically a MadCatz SFIV Tournament Edition stick that was on sale, so I bought it over the summer. The modification was basically just getting a plexi-glass cover for the top and the artwork is basically just a printed cutout. It's all something one guy has been doing, and it's really nice quality. So yeah, I actually have quite a few more designs that I had done for it but that was the one I settled on. And I'm sure not complaining about it.

bah to American standards. the racing stripe and flames/skulls are overdone and boring. well, maybe the Skull Squadron emblem would be a nice touch, but nothing else other than that (and that's not even American). the only American standard i'd accept would be the Autobot/Decipticon symbol which oddly enough i don't see enough of except on the back windows in black and white. i haven't seen a true Autobot symbol slapped on the hood or roof of the car which would be neat to see. then again, if i were to put decals on my car (anime related to boot), i'd worry about vandalism from those unopenminded people who hate those "funny looking Chinese drawings" and decide to spice it up a bit through their own means.

hmmmm, i'd still feel guilty about it though. freakin happy guilty though. plus, the chances of getting two Nerus are a lot lower than getting 8 Kaitos. nothing against Kaito though.

ho~h, i must say your customized controller is much better than the original for obvious reasons. the white nub isn't really too appealing, so it was a smart choice to switch the color which goes well with the BRS skin.
