Like $38.99

That's not bad at all. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than importing one from mandarake.

Yeah, but when you only have $55 on you and you don't work and your parents control the card...well you see my point. They're fine with the Medal Sets since I have the belt, but Figuarts they're iffy about. Hence why the only one I have is Tatoba. And I got that for christmas

I got Legion class Cliffjumper and Vehicon as well as Bot Shots Thundercracker!

...What? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on tracking down Figuarts V3... but there's the Revoltech Gurren Lagann reissue. And G-Fest. And MonsterArts Rodan after G-Fest.

Ahh, the crucial decisions of a jobless college student.

I have to say, I am really, really impressed with amiami's SAL. This guy shipped out - regular, non-registered SAL - on the 31st and showed up this morning. That's a lot faster than I'm used to seeing HLJ packages take.

Also, it is a really cool toy and looks awesome with Kaixa. Some of the transformation joints and peg holes were a little scary tight at first, but once broken in everything works smoothly.

Got these in today!!! Finally got the last 4 switches to complete my Fourze collection! Got Zodiart switch off eBay and the Skull Magnum from harry543! And while not Toku related I got Kid Icarus in the mail! Great day!

Finally found the Octozord this afternoon. Gigazord is now complete!

In the past week or so i bought the new W driver I also got SHF Gamel and Luna Trigger. And just ordered a good portion of W's forms from Mandarake. My wallet hates me right now.

So, I got my first medals, and I opened one up and painted the inside, and honestly, I'm not happy with how it turned out. Going to have to experiment some more, cuz the paint marker feels like it's a hassle to do, and I didn't like it.

Got my first SIC KT figure, which I kinda regret buying, so I'll probably just put it up for sale, KickHopper, which I bought on a lark and don't care about yet, both of these were purchased to help fill out Mandarake orders, and in retrospect I probably should have just paid the 500 yen fee and not spent the extra on the figures I didn't especially want.

also, Ankh Lost, who I love.

Picked up two more of the Ryuki SH Mirror Monsters sets, which gives me sets 01-04, and since it was very cheap I grabbed R&M Knight, so I could compare the three versions of DarkWing; Once I got SHF Ryuki I learned that DragRedder was an improvement on the SH DragBlacker I have from one of the earlier sets, so I became very curious about DarkWing. Plus, I want to have DarkWing on Knight as a cape, but still be able to display DarkWing separately.

And finally, I probably spent too much money on this, think it ends up being the single most expensive SHF in my collection (it barely beats out Shinken Pink and Yellow), but I'm glad to have it, Amazing Mighty Kuuga. I still need regular Dragon, Pegasus and Titan forms, but for the foreseeable future, I'm done with the Kuuga line.
