That's a good reason. I mostly buy limited figures and merch that don't look like they will get reissued.

Pre-ordered this recently. I don't really do scales too often, especially as they've gotten really expensive over the years, but this was a nice price on top of the exchange rate making it even better.

I bought some Azumanga Daioh figures. So far I like them.

When I asked about it last year in the yugioh thread >>4056 nobody replied so I assume the answer is no.

>>4073
I only picked this up recently, very recently.

>It's pretty much impossible to get cards from an anime you don't like unless you're buying someone's secondhand collection.
It's also possible if you're buying cards from a collection set. But you should already know before getting one of those that they're going to be from random sources.
Pic related, it's from a booster box I opened from the Kadokawa 30th anniversary set.

I got some custom made card sleeves in the mail today. Now I can (never) play this game in style!

I bought this Kanbe Kotori Daki off of Ebay yesterday. It should arrive sometime this month. I think I'll be quite happy for a while after receiving this cover, because I'll finally have Kotori in my arms, not just on my screen. I'll update you once it's here.

>>4066
It arrived. I made a quick picture before throwing it into the washing machine. Soo, basically

What could be better:
I don't like how she is holding her hands next to her mouth, which could be annoying while kissing
Also, it has no backside, the backside is just empty, but that's okay, I didn't except there to be one anyway.

What I like about it:
The fabric is very soft.
It fits the pillow I already had perfectly
ITS KOTORI!!!!!!!

All, in all, it's great and hopefully she will stay with me many, many nights to come (once she is out of the washing machine, that is).

>>4067
can you post more? cute

>>4068
I compiled a bunch of pictures of my daki into a little collage, so here you got more.

This looks pretty cool. I wonder how long the gloss finish would hold out before scratches start being noticeable.

>>3663
Indeed: many of these are meant for collecting purposes, not to be solved again and again. I just solved it once (pretty easy) and that's about it.

>>3662
Any new puzzles to share, puzzle-kun?

This caught my eye at the store. A blank and transparent jigsaw puzzle. Idea is you not only don't know the orientation, but also which face is the correct side.
Box labeled it as impossible, so I took that as a challenge.

Select fumo will be available from 8/24 to 9/21.

I ordered a NEET princess.

Got a pair of fumo. Was an insta buy the moment I saw they were available.

>>4035
I got a fumo cirno in the mail today along with a Chocopuni Ayane.

>>4063
cute collection, they look very clean and neat

I am curious as well, for something like this or a daki cover being hung up for display, how have you gone about actually hanging them up? What about enclosing them inside of something to prevent them from getting dirty?

Bought this ages ago and had it shipped via surface mail. Showed up yesterday. Walls in my current place have felt a little too empty.

My keychain collection is growing...

>>4061
I love those pinched keychains

oh god

used to play competitively, but that stopped being fun after a while (there were pretty much 3 types of deck that would always win, and they were all filled with super expensive cards). People are right when they say the game is kind of imbalanced... It's fun to play casually every once in awhile though.

I still play sometimes (started around 2000). I'm on and off various yugioh IRC channels (also the #tohno-chan channel). Ask me for a game (via duelingnetwork.com)!

I hate the new stuff (Synchro, XYZ) and like fun decks.

But even more importantly, have any of you ever played Weiß Schwarz?

Ques Q is releasing a Clara. Quite odd as they haven't released a Katyusha or even a Nonna yet.

Nice.

Who the heck has space for stuff like this? Where do you even keep them??

>>4054
In your bed of course silly.

I want to start (slowly but steady) collecting model and garage kits. Any recommendations regarding resources, where to start, buy and price guides, etc.?

Put matte clear coat on my friend Guntank and now he looks quite nice.
I could have done a better job with panel lining, could use another layer or two of clear coat, and the spots where nubs were cut off are a bit ugly. Despite this, I'm pretty happy with it.

I've been continuing on with gunpla. After trying out some other grades (MG and RG), I'm finding HG kits the most fun for now. The construction is less time consuming so I can focus on the smaller details, developing better skills, and also it doesn't feel as bad to make mistakes.
I've realized that there is a bit of work to do in terms of organization. Both with my supplies/tools and the kit leftovers themselves. For supplies and tools, it'd be nice to keep everything ready depending on what I need. I will solve this with some drawers and then smaller boxes. Then for the kits, I just don't have space for the all boxes, but I don't want a bunch of loose extras or to toss the manuals. I'm planning on getting sandwich bags for the extras and a binder with sheet protectors to hold the manuals and boxtops.

Image is a WIP HG RX-78-2. It's mostly finished, I just need some yellow paint, do a little clean up here and there, then clear coat. After that, it will be ready to stand alongside Guntank.

A while back I got the idea to try making a custom mosaic, but I had no idea what from or even what of. Just that I wanted to try it. Then it hit me, duh people do that with lego all the time, they even have official sets for it. Which I'll admit this is not, as that would be pricy and when done you wouldn't be able to tell anyway.
Even after gathering materials, I still had no idea what image to use, so the board sat collecting dust for a couple months.
I've been playing a lot of retro games lately, and decided to recreate a frame from one of the Klonoa GBA games.

>>4040
Found a sprite of the image I'm basing it on, which helps but I'm finding myself not having enough of the right colors. Might end up trying another image instead.

This really ticks me off. You see these seats? They're black! the part in front of them? Dark gray.

A while back I bought a very large used bin of random lego, mostly disassembled with a few chunks of partly assembled things here and there and no instructions for anything. over the past month or so I've been sorting out the parts and figuring out what sets are actually in this bin. Something most people might not know is that all lego parts have part numbers printed on them, usually it's tiny and out of sight. Bricklink and brickowl both have databases that catalog every known part and what sets they can be found in. So if you have an unusual part, it can be pretty easy to find out what set it went to. The lego company meanwhile, has PDFs online for all if not nearly all of their sets. Here's the thing though... their instruction PDFs are weirdly bad. The resolution is bad and the colors are way off.
In the case of this boat, I gave it dark gray seats and when I needed dark gray seats for other sets I couldn't find any and assumed they were missing parts. Likewise, there were some parts for this boat I thought were dark gray that I couldn't find, so I assumed they were missing since I could only find them in black... "wait a second..." I thought, and checked the part list for the set and sure enough the colors were just off on the PDF. Colors like white are fine, but the different shades of brown and tans look the same, and standard green looks like a lime green.

I tried to look into why they're like this, and the going theory people seem to have is that the lego company simply doesn't want people building sets from scratch, they want you to buy the set with the manual included.
There's a few issues with that. For one, recent news as unveiled that they're planning on discontinuing manuals in future sets for cost saving reasons. Manuals can be pretty big thick heavy books on larger sets after all. The other thing is, if they didn't want people who didn't buy the sets building the sets, why have the PDF available at all then?
Honesty, I think it's just a case of them either A: hiring people who did a crap job or B: they intentionally used lower quality PDFs to reduce server space and load.
While putting together these sets I have fou
