<p>OMG! so cute!!!!</p>
<p>
<img height="509" src="http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2227/lunartik.jpg" width="600" /></p>
<p>I have no idea what i was browsing before i came across these. I was never
into these art type figures but these are just too too cute. I broke down and
brought a full case of 16 on e-bay. I hope i get the full set in the case as
they are blind boxes.</p>
<p>Now i'm surfing and finding other ones i want. I think i just stumbled onto a
new collection. Darn, i need to stop browsing and surfing the web so much, I
always end up wasting money especially when i have no more money to waste. Still
i can't wait for them to arrive.</p>

<p>My 5th purchase from Yahoo Japan auctions</p>
<p>
<img height="240" src="http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1173/melonae.jpg" width="580"> </p>
<p>My first non- Re-ment purchase</p>
<p>Queen's Blade Excellent Core Melona figure by Magahouse. I haven't watched
the Anime yet but i just always wanted this figure. Should have purchased her
when she first came out but as always i didn't and now i have to pay more then
the original price.</p>
<p>I went through Y!JA because the cheapest 'used' one on e-bay is $120 and the
cheapest 'MIB' one is $175. I didn't want to pay that much considering her
original price was $51 back in 2008 (release year). I paid $77.05 after Shopping
Mall Japan deputy fees. Which is not bad for a long discontinued MIB figure.</p>
<p>I also put in a pre-order for the cute upcoming Nendoriod version through
Hobby Search Japan</p>
<p>
<img height="613" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img17/1571/mmelona.jpg" width="600" /></p>
<p>Wouldn't want to miss it and have to pay double the price on the secondary
market.</p>

<p>Today i received my very first shipment from Shopping Mall Japan. It
contained my first 4 Yahoo Japan auction wins.</p>
<p><a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img694/389/rementwin.jpg">
<img height="640" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img850/5637/rementwint.jpg" width="499" /></a></p>
<p>Total with shipping and fees for the above 4 full sets were $330.50 which
comes to about $83 per box. Not bad since these all sell for well over $100 on
e-bay with some even going for over $200.</p>
<p>Turn around time from bidding to shipping was fairly quick. I like the fact
that SMJ ships all winnings to their warehouse in the US. This way i was only
charged US shipping from them to me. Previously i have been a customer of Celga
(for many many years). With them i had to pay for EMS ship as they ship directly
from Japan to me.</p>
<p>Sofar my experience with SMJ has been good. I will continue dealing with them
for now as there are still a few sets i need to get off Y!JA.</p>

<p>Was browsing Hobby Search Japan last night. Checking out upcoming toys when i
came across this</p>
<p><a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img42/3563/saiyukih.jpg">
<img class="style1" height="550" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img585/774/saiyuki2.jpg" width="388" /></a></p>
<p>I got super excited as i am a HUGE fan of Saiyuki :) I haven't brought any
new Saiyuki merchandise / toys since like forever. So i am happy to see that
they are releasing something new, and cute too :) I totally pre-ordered on the
spot. It's set to be released in July.</p>
<p>I hope this will be the start of new Saiyuki collectibles getting released. I
would love to see more figures, especially of Sanzo as he is my favorite
character.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also came across a pictures of a new Re-ment set coming out in June</p>
<p><a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img12/1217/doraemonja.jpg">
<img class="style1" height="550" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img541/5083/doraemon2f.jpg" width="442" /></a></p>
<p>I am not a fan of Doraemon. My kids like the Anime but not me. But even
though i have no interest in the Doraemon, this set is cute and i do love
collecting Re-ment. Will probably pre-order it through HSJ as well.</p>
<p>I have started to pre-order all the new Re-ment sets from HSJ. I calculated
that even with shipping, it's still cheaper then e-bay. I always choose the
cheaper SAL shipping. It tends to worry me a bit as there is no tracking and it
ships slow but i have never had any lost packages. Plus it does save alot as EMS
is so expensive.</p>

<p>Won 2 more older retired Re-ment sets on Yahoo Japan Auctions. I think i need
to stop now until i get them all paid. Starting to go a little over board here
which is what always happen when i start collecting.</p>
<p>I got the following 2 sets</p>
<p>
<img height="988" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img526/3976/rement.jpg" width="400" /></p>
<p>3 star French Restaurant for 5750yen ($61.42 USD) & Families 2 for 4610yen
($49.25 USD)</p>
<p>This brings a total of 4 sets i have won through Y!JA. Still so many i need
to get to fulfill my Re-ment wishlist. Hope i get an invoice soon from Shopping
Mall Japan. Really need to see what the damage (to my wallet) is :)</p>

<p>Won another re-ment set on Yahoo Japan Auctions today</p>
<p>
<img height="446" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img94/5451/catsrqr.jpg" width="371" /></p>
<p>Re-ment Cats</p>
<p>Don't really know what to call this set. I see some call it Cat Diary and
some called it My Cats. According to online translation, the name says
<span id="Dst[0][3:4:0:7]" _mstdst="0_0:7" _mstsrc="0_3:4" class="" onmouseout="Default.UI.ClearHighlight()" onmouseover="Default.UI.PhraseHighlight(this)">

<span id="Dst[0][0:1:9:10]" _mstdst="0_9:10" _mstsrc="0_0:1" class="" onmouseout="Default.UI.ClearHighlight()" onmouseover="Default.UI.PhraseHighlight(this)">

cats.</span></p>
<p>My winning amount is 5000yen which converts to $53.71 USD. The lowest priced
full set on e-bay right now is $137.88 + $12.99 ship. I have considered just
purchasing from e-bay but want to see if i can get it cheaper through Y!JA.
Hoping SMJ fees won't end more expensive then the e-bay set.</p>

<p>Just used buy it now on a Re-ment set on Yahoo Japan Auctions. Disappointed i
lost all the others i was trying to bid on. But i know there will be chances
again. Just have to keep my eyes out.</p>
<p>I am getting this for now</p>
<p>
<img height="445" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img138/6879/dessert2.jpg" width="461" /></p>
<p>Dessert House 2</p>
<p>My winning amount is 3500yen which according to the current conversion rate
is $37.25 USD. I am now waiting for Shopping Mall Japan to invoice me so i can
see what the total cost is with fees. Sofar i only know that the commission fee
will be $8. I hope there won't be too many fees. The final price of the item
will determine whether or not i will stick with SMJ as my deputy service for
Y!JA.</p>
<p>Right now according to ongoing auctions on e-bay, the lowest price for this
set is $145 + $10.95 shipping.</p>

<p>Just paid off my newest Pipos order which was on layaway. So happy to get
that done. It was so super expensive. Infact it was my most expensive order from
Pipos to date. I ordered 4 gorgeous limited edition dolls from their new Frog
Prince series.</p>
<p> <a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img812/5977/pipos.jpg"><img alt="" class="style1" height="640" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img28/8175/piposm.jpg" width="426" /></a></p>
<p>M. Lloyd (LE 15 sets)<br />
J. Luna (LE 8 sets)<br />
L. Luna (LE 8 sets)<br />
& (Yellow) Tomo (LE 15 sets)</p>
<p>I can never resist Pipos dolls. They are my most favorite BJD company. Their
dolls are always perfect, their service is excellent and they take layaways
which is a huge plus. </p>
<p>Now to wait for shipping.</p>

<p><span class="style2">Since i no longer work on my website, i have decided to
try once more to start up my blog. Have done this a few times but got lazy in
the end. Hopefully this time it would stay up longer.</span><br class="style2" />
<br class="style2" />
<span class="style2">Another thing i just started up again is my collection of
Re-ment miniatures. Been collecting on and off for many years now. Sofar have
amassed so many sets that i have lost count long ago. Now i am working on maybe
finally getting the few older retired sets that i so stupidly did not buy when
they were cheap. Cheap as in less then $50 or even $100. Some of the sets i want
now are reaching the $300 mark. Seriously crazy for tiny pieces of plastic. I
want them but i am not paying that much (these are the prices found on ebay).</span><br class="style2" />
<br class="style2" />
<span class="style2">So this brings up another thing i just started up as well,
which is checking out Yahoo Japan Auctions. I haven't used Y!JA for years now.
Not since i stopped collecting Anime & Asian fashion dolls. This happened after
i got into Ball Jointed Dolls back in 2008. Now i am back scouring Y!JA. Just
signed up with Shopping Mall Japan. Have not won anything yet so i don't know
how their service and fees are. So fingers crossed that they are good. If not
then i will just have to try another deputy service. There are a few out their.</span><br class="style2" />
<br class="style2" />
<span class="style2">So here are the Re-ment sets i am hopefully working towards
getting</span></p>
<p><a href="http://imageshack.us/a/img545/6103/wishej.jpg">
<img height="640" src="http://imageshack.us/a/img856/5282/wisht.jpg" width="593"></a><span class="style2"> </span></p>
<p class="style2">It doesn't really look like alot but unfortunately some of
these are the more sort after and crazy expensive sets. So wish me luck on
acquiring any of these for less then the ebay asking prices :)</p>
