So anyway, here are some purchases I made this month that I have NOT been regretting. The rare few, that is.

First up, we have a D.C. II Nanaka mouse pad and phone card set that I mentioned before in a previous entry. It cost a bomb. Like the nuclear kind. But Nanaka fanboyism overcomes all, including food and daily necessities.

Mouse pad
Phone card

It’s pretty nice. The phone card is where most of the explosive price tag goes to. People are selling the mouse pad on Yahoo! Auctions for just a few hundred yen without the phone card… Ah, crazy Japanese collecting telephone cards that no one ever uses because every single one of them has a mobile phone surgically attached to his/her hand. No one will even notice the difference if NTT stops putting credits into these cards. (Or maybe they already did?)

Moving on, we have SummerDays & School Days Visual Collection. Despite the huge screw-up that was SummerDays, fanboyism dies hard and sometimes you are rewarded for it. This visual collection is waaaaay superior to the game. Really.

Setsuna V!
Setsuna turning kick!

And a whole bunch of other promotional and game-related art that I shall not post here because they are too… ummm… cool. Yeah. Let’s just say that Kinokuniya wouldn’t bring this in so I had to pay through my nose to get it online. (As opposed to paying through my nose at Kinokuniya, that is)

Next… Caladbolg from T2 Art Works (NSFW). Oh, so much win that I shed tears as I befouled it with my unworthy touch.

I’m sure you all have the complete scans of Tony Taka doujinshi stowed away somewhere on your hard drives, so I shall not bother with more pictures…

And finally, Zero no Tsukaima 1/6 1/8 Louise PVC (I have no idea why I like to type 1/6 these days) from Kotobukiya. This was a pleasant surprise because I was sooooo sure that the final mass production figure will totally suck compared to the pictures. It turned out quite awesome, possibly better than the Alter one.

Pantsu!

Speaking of which, I have a Chinese O’level paper tomorrow. Wow, I should really start working on that or something… Oooo shiny object!…

Anyway, before I go, I just want to say that Happiness! episode 4 has caused me so much mental pain and agony. GAOOOO!

I also picked up the latest issues of Newtype and Comptiq. Newtype came from a Fate/stay night booklet while Comptiq came with a Da Capo II pencil board. Ah, less than two weeks left till D.C. II… 楽しみ～
