No huge surprises this time around for me, a colored version of the prototype I was happy to see and Lady Maria still has no pre-order date. Apparently it was supposed to be happening in June but is postponed.

I was in a similar situation this week: "Oh this figure is very nice, but 100 bucks? I don’t know if I should..."

Paycheck comes in, surprise bonus

*Clicks pre-order button*

..

To my defense, the figure wasn't even half of the bonus and the rest will be spend for actually useful stuff. I'm a good little adult, everyone who doesn’t know what I spend my money for agrees.

That last part is mostly because I'm expecting a Choudan Kadou announcement at some point between now and the end of July and I'm committed to that line.

It's kind of weird but "light" months, or months were I don’t have to pay for any pre-orders because I didn’t order anything feel ... refreshing?

The more spending power I accumulate the better it feels to say "no" sometimes and don't buy anything. I still fail miserably at it most of the time, but the rare times it does happen are nice.
