I went crazy back when Build was out and have massively cut back since, but yeah, I feel that. I went trawling through Mandarake yesterday and my brain was like "Hey wouldn't it be cool to buy Lightning Hornet? And wait for Den-O Wing to come back in stock?" It ain't good.

Mandarake is such a bad influence on me. I keep making carts and adding to favourites and forcing myself not to just splurge and buy them all from like four different stores.
But the currency conversion is so freaking bad these days. |

I think the most difficult thing in collecting, and I don't know if it's just a thing with these tiny mans or an overall collecting thing, is taking the time to appreciate what you have rather than long for what you don't have. It's super easy with these tiny men to sticker one, put him on display, and be, like, What's Next. I'm not doing a great a job of pacing myself, of not racing to the next purchase, but I'm trying to be mindful that I'm not doing a great job.
I feel like I should get some program that redirects all Mandarake websites to a YouTube video of a tranquil beach, maybe have one visit per week before it bounces me back to that beach. I don't know. My impulse control is regrettable, is what I'm saying.

This is how I feel with collecting in general though maybe it's because once I add a figure to my collection and sometimes posed so that they all fit, I don't really want to mess with it anymore because it can be hard to repose the figures and I get lazy. lol. So I tend to "play" with my figures by doing a mini photoshoot with them before adding them to the display and rarely touching them again. Haha.
AI4 arrived today, might have some time to open them up later today. Also placed an order on the Ride Plus wave on Mandarake. Hopefully the order goes through!

Weekly So-Do blog is out!
This week we've got Zonji's announcement! Looks really cool, and in a nice touch, the cloak is removable too. Surprised they didn't announce Barlckxs first, guess they'll be saving him for last. Not sure how they'd be able to fit them all in the same wave as Metal Cluster though. On all the complete sets so far, the price has been 440 yen per box. Assuming the price hasn't changed, that'd mean a complete set of AI 6 only has 7 boxes, and I don't thing Metal Cluster or any of the Quartzer trio could fit in a single box. Curious to see how the wave layout ends up.

I assume if Zonji is in a normal wave, so are the other two Quartzers (they could have been a sensible candidate for a Premium Bandai set, though I don't know how well it would sell)
Still find it pretty weird how Zi-O heavy the last few waves are. 4 had more Zero-One figures but because of Metal/Phantom Build was 50-50 on boxes and 5 is 3/4 Zi-O. If they give us the other Quartzers and/or Tsukuyomi, 6 might be too. Though a certain other Zero-One form might come soon enough to get in this wave. |

We do know we’re getting Tsukuyomi and the other quartzers, but until Woz’s v cin form or whatever that’ll be us done with zi-o and the remaining waves will be full on Zero One (... and Woz), where they should catch up with Ikazuchi and Kangaroo.

I'm still eagerly waiting for Ichi-gata and 001. I love the look of both of the Winter movie suits

In that case, there's four Zero-One suits to catch up on; and all of them should fit very easily in future waves.
