an.atticus, for some reason, I just want to hang you by your ears.
Razz

Good news from TRSI. My Aria print's shipping early! Woots! Apparently, they received them earlier than the Dec. 8th proposed date.

Just an FYI.

Some new figure purchases from Hobby Link Japan have arrived.

Teletha Testarossa PVC from Full Metal Panic! (Been wanting this one for a while and wow is she gorgeous in person!)
Ryofu in a school swimsuit PVC from Ikki-Tousen.

They shipped a lot faster than I expected.

I received mine on the 30th. I was surprised it shipped out so early. None of the other Nozomi products I've ordered have shipped until the release date. I need to get my print framed.

When I first ordered from them I wasn't expecting them to arrive in only 5 days. That's quicker than most things I've ordered from inside the US.

I've received my Soldier Blue & Jomy Marcus Shin and Saber Lily Avalon figures and Alfin should be shipping soon. I also got some shirts from HLJ:
Yoko
Shana
Saber Lily

Was able to find the OOP volumes 4 & 7 for Saikano so I got the rest of the volumes. If I could only be so lucky for Please Save My Earth and Basara. Also ordered V. 1-16 of Lone Wolf & Cub and got them all except V.5. How annoying! On a happier note, I was able to find copies of Sake Jock and Comics Underground Japan and my Dragon Box shipped out today. And finally, I've ordered Inuyasha sets 5-7 LE which finishes that.

Despite placing an order with TRSI only a week ago (which is being held up while they wait to get more copies of Bleach Season 2 in, grrr, grrr), I put in another one a few minutes ago. In one of his earlier posts in this thread, King of Harts brought my attention to the fact that both Death Note sets were being offered for $25 each which is too good for me to pass up. And as a discriminated against Canadian, I have to order $150 before I trigger the free shipping, I also added Blood+, Part 2 (oh yeah, baby), Samurai Champloo and Rosario + Vampire manga, volume 9.

Barring some crazy ass sale, this should be my last order for 2009.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. It's listed on Amazon as having a figure, but I remember seeing it years ago in Fry's Electronics with a shirt. I'd rather have a dorky anime shirt any day Cool

I just ordered the first Galaxy Angel box. If the picture displaying all the stuff it comes with is legit then this is one amazing buy.

I assume you mean this box? It really does come with all of that (at least, it's supposed to). The figures fall over a lot, since most of them are top-heavy (Ranpha especially.) It's a great set, though. Very Happy

I only had trouble with Ranpha and Forte, not because they were top-heavy, but because of their high heels. In fact the pegs snapped so now they are stuck in a drawer.

After renting Jin-Roh I turned around and bought it. Tracked down the edition with the soundtrack as I like the music. Depressing movie. Knew how it was going to end at the half-way mark but was hoping that just maybe it would end differently. But this is Mamoru Oshii we're talking, so I knew my hopes would be for naught.
