February 2014 Loot

IMG_2359

Oh boy. It’s that time again! Guess that means I slacked off in February ( I only posted 1 review!!). I spent the first half of February busy, and the second half sick. Here’s hoping March isn’t that way. I’m outta vacation time =(.

February, collection wise, was not the busiest, but it wasn’t particularly slow either. I received my rather large January order from Amiami after doing battle with Paypal and their refusal to let me pay from my bank account anymore. Seriously. If it’s over $60 CAD I have to go to credit card >=( Very inconvenient for me right now.

ANYWAY! On to the Haul!

The two shirts in the photo above are not covered in this post. They are shirts I got from 24 hour sites, and I am working on a way to display them, photograph them, and make a page specifically for the shirts I own.

I picked up the Sailor Moon Tribute CD, and I have to be honest with you… I bought it for the artwork XD. I love music, but I don’t particularly listen to it often, or buy it often. I DID put it on my iTunes though, and gave it a listen earlier this week. I quite like it, and I think it’s one of the few Japanese albums I have on my iTunes that I’ll have no problem listening through when I’m driving.

Purchase the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Memorial Tribute Album

IMG_2096 IMG_2308I ordered 3 boxes of these suckers and got 3 boxes exactly the same!  Luckily I spotted a comment on MFC about someone who had had the same misfortune, but with the opposite box of what I had, and we traded. This is the first set of the Sailor Moon Megahouse Petit Charaland figures. Set 2, with the Outer Senshi, are to be released this summer.

Thankfully I had none of the issues other collectors had. None of the stands on my bases broke during assembly, and most of my paint is fine. Unfortunately one of the tops of the bases for my Sailor Moon let go… but it appears there wasn’t enough glue. THAT I can fix!

Pre-order the June re-release of Set 1

This is a battery operated media charger, that’s specifically meant for phones. The USB plug is a micro USB, but that doesn’t limit the chargers compatibility. If you have a phone that the plug doesn’t fit simply plug the USB cord that came with your phone into the charger instead.

I own an iPhone 5C and it worked swell with my phone. GREAT idea for conventions and long trips. Since it runs on 4 AA batteries all you need to do is buy extra batteries to continue charging.

I mainly bought these to review and own as I can’t wear ear buds… and who could turn down that ADORABLE Luna on the wires?

The charm set! I LOVE these! The only downfall is that my symbol bag charm comes with 2 Mercury charms and no Mars charm. =( Thankfully none of my boxes or charms were damaged as a lot of people were reporting. They’re beautiful though, and I wish I had ordered 2 of the Crisis so I could use one.

My first Attack on Titan figure! I love this series, and this figure is really cool. You can do LOTS of things with her and the extra pieces are perfect. I DO wish they had included a happier looking face plate for her though. All of them are rather angry. It also included instructions on how to put on her 3D gear… thank god, because I never would have figured it out on my own lol. Can you imagine trying to get into that gear in real life? Kudos to cosplayers.

I picked up these Tamashii bases to use with my Sailor Moon figures, but I found some that I like more than these… Depending on whether the ones I like are compatible with the Saint Seiya display I purchased for them I’ll probably end up selling these later XD.

This was a thrift shop score! It’s an official Disney Fairies Tinker Bell bag, and it’s MASSIVE. I’d never be able to use it as a purse, so it might be a convention bag, or maybe an over night bag for me XD. Found it for $10 and RAN lmao. Please comment if you know of its worth or any ebay auctions. I’m having trouble locating any to see exactly what it is and when it was made.

IMG_2366

I snagged a Tinker Bell Funko at a small event this month. She’s adorable. ♥

IMG_2362I went to see The Flower We Saw That Day when they played a showing here in Edmonton, and on the way in I got a free autograph board! It’s pretty, and rather heart breaking after seeing the movie lol. The movie was beautiful, but by the end I cried like a baby.

IMG_2365

Managed to snag 5 sets of stickers from a booth at a small event. They had a pile of them that were all the same… and I ALMOST bought them all XD, but I figured 5 was a good number lol. Sailor Mercury is coloured wrong despite these being official Canadian merchandise. Sadness.

IMG_2363 IMG_2364

Snagged this for $12 from a booth that I know well at the same event I got the stickers and Tinker Bell from. They sell a lot of bootlegs, and I’ve learned to buy nothing but official merch from them to encourage them to purchase more XD. They’re good people… just *sigh*.

IMG_2361My last thrift shop find for the month. I’ve wanted the limited edition with the super nice case for a long time, but finally accepted that I’m never going to buy it. This one was only $5, so I grabbed it. Why not? lol.

That’s it for February! Feel free to comment or send me an Ask on Tumblr if there’s something you would like me to review next!

Pop Culture Fair and Moar

So, not one of my best collection photos ever. I never used my normal pink blanket for the back drop since my photo area is MIA at the moment. Not really sure where or how I want to set up a new one.

In this photo you see a Rapunzel doll on the left. She’s fully posable, as are the Tiana and Mulan dolls beside her. They’re generally from the same line. Got them at the Disney Store for 2 for $25. I believe Rapunzel was $20 alone because she’s a new character. The larger Rapunzel doll is from their toddler line. Got her today for $40 at the Disney store. her expression BEGGED me to buy her. I’ve also got the Ariel version of thse dolls, but I found out today that her clothing is damaged. Her shoulder strap is missing it’s flowers. Oh well. I love her anyways. The Diana coin purse came from Warp 1 on Whyte Ave (Edmonton). Got her for $10. The Pikachu slippers are official. Got them from a vendor at the Pop Culture Fair today for $20. They’re SO comfy and warm <33333 . The Eternal Sailor moon plushie is the one I mentioned in my last post. I got her for $15 at Warp 1 the same time I got the coin purse. Below her are my Nightmare before Christmas and Tangled CDs which I got from HMV. Today at the Pop Culture Fair I also managed to pick up that Spiderman Loves Mary Jane book for $20, Aladdin and the King of Theives for $15, Power Puff Girls movie for $15, and Paprika for $10. Kirby’s Epic Yarn was purchased new at Walmart for $50, while Wave Race and the Metabots game were found at a flea market today for $25 for both of them.

NOT pictured are several CDs, Disney movies, a Jem and the Holograms bootleg shirt, and awesome things I probably can’t remember at the moment. Things will (hopefully) slow down now. Christmas is coming and I need to be able to afford it D= Today was SO expensive.

And for the record, most of this was purchased a while ago. Just never got pictures of it.

Updates:

Updated the Custom by me page with my custom Sailor Chibi Moon figure finally.

Updated my Disney DVD List. Holey 80+ movies batman.

Added some scans to Sailor Moon Bottle Caps page and The Sailor Moon PC-Engine game page.

MIGHT ditch the image buttons. I’m not motivated enough to keep making them lol D=

Overhaul

So I’m doing some overhauling!

If you haven’t noticed, I go through a LOT of different templates. Thing is, you might NOT notice because the template is usally laid out the same way. The big difference is normally in the header, menu, and width of the page. Some of these might change size, shape, or font. At this moment, I THINK this template will stick. It’s wide, the menu buttons are accessible and don’t hide at the bottom of your browser anymore.

The overhaul will be more obvious at the main Sailor Moon page, where I’ve included some old collection shots, as well as some info about my collection.

If you look at the Plushies page you’ll see that I’ve begun adding content to the “inbetween pages”. There is something similar on previous pages, but I’m not at all happy with it.

I added a meeting and autograph session with Australian singer Kate Miller-Heidke a couple months ago, but never posted it here.

Added a Sailor Moon PC Engine game tonight. Edited the Classic SM Uncut DVD review, as well as the SM R Uncut DVD review. And probably a lot of plushie stuff that wasn’t there before.

OH, and I’ve seriously updated my Disney DVD list because I’ve been buying them at a stupidly fast rate. Silly Walmart sales…

OH and by the way…

I found these beauties somewhere between the East Meets West Festival in Edmonton, a game shop, HMV, Walmart, Value Village, and a flea market on 111 avenue here in Ed.

HaruFest and Updates!

This is totally not even my entire haul from Harufest 2010. I’ve also got a giant 14″ Luna plushie that’s actually dark purple! Not to mention some buttons from my friend Heather made. They’re wicked planet symbol buttons. <33

I have too be honest. Most of the items from my last update haven’t been photographed and uploaded here yet, nor have the items in this picture. BUT! I’ve got a lot of my older items updated.  For those wondering what is in this particular photo though here’s the list:

Uchiwa (Japanese fan)
Bootleg sticker set
Jumbo Cardass card
Super Sailor Chibi Moon plushie
Dream Pocket Mercury (missing tiara and am willing to buy an extra one!)
American ruled note book
Japanese Dress-up dolls
Mini colouring books
Cardass card binder (with some cards)
Smile Mag. Issue 3.9
2x Handkerchiefs
3x Pencil boards

NOT PICTURED: 14″ Luna plushie, fan buttons, Sailor Stars envelopes, Sailor Moon R note pad, and Jumbo Sailor Moon World card.

If you just look through the Sailor Moon tab there are LOADS of new items since my last update. As I said, most of them are old items, but they’re still new to the website!

Also please! If you guys are headed to a Canadian convention some time this year make sure you check out Synaptic Chaos Theater! They’re former 404 members with a new name, new games, and even better laughs!

CCEE Haul and Update

A LOT of updates have been made today since I had the day off.

I spent the weekend in Calgary, Alberta at the Calgary Comic Expo. Incredibly enough I managed to find some Sailor Moon items! One of those items was an alarm clock which can be found here. I also found a small blanket, Sailor Moon backpack, and several non-Sailor Moon items that I’m totally in love with.

The updates you can find today though are:

Accessories > Bedroom
Cosplay Toys > Charm Necklace
Media > R Uncut
Stationary > Notebooks

I’ve also split the Figurines drop down list into Japanese and N. American.

If you mess with the links you’ll notice that pages like Figurines > Japanese have nothing on them. That’s because they’re just there to separate the sections. NOT to hold content. I may update them tomorrow with links in case of a layout change one day though.

OH! And there’s also a new section! It’s called information. The basic Information page has info about me, the website, and my website images (BG and header). The Information > SM Collection Profile is my profile from Livejournal with some updates to keep it “up to date” and not always looking outdated. For example, I removed my age, and replaced it with my birthday so that I’m not 20 for the next three or four years lol.

Information > Rules are rules for how to use my images. But don’t worry! I’m not a meanie or anything lol.
