For all of you fans out there who thought this month has been (more or less) calm CCS wise, you are so wrongSo, what happened this January 2015
( Read more... )
Sooo much stuff!!!! Seeing those pictures of the wands I am not sure which one to get although I will probably get the Bandai one as it lights up XD! CLAMP really need to start releasing more merchandise for their other series now! I don't know how much longer I can take being drowned in CCS goods!I would love to see so Kobato goods come out but that is probably unlikely TT.TT!
There are indeed endless goodies, and the ones above are only a part of them! I still have to make at least 2 more posts to cover it all, scary!!
2015 is the 25th anniversary of CLAMP and also the 15th anniversary of CCS, which is why there are so many goodies. I really don't think there are any chances at all they will release merchandise of Clamp's other series, with the exception of Tsubasa which is on going, and maybe crossovers kind of goods? But I really wouldn't hold my breath for anything else ^^;
Actually, I've seen some of the ani-kuji items from all lotteries at both Mandarake (dot)com and Suruga-ya (dot) jp
I'd like to leave you a link, but every time I do that my messages go to your spam folders .__. I've mentioned manda-rake a few times before but seems you never got those either.
I'm excited for all the goods though! I had to order the ClowBook from CD Japan-- Amazon jpn completely sold out and never restocked. The only ones available there are from marketplace sellers selling it for twice as much.
I already know about Mandarake and Suruga-ya from many years ago, but I confess I never bought anything from them, or more like, I completely forgot them until I read your post just now

LJ works in funny ways :) that's why I thought I'd mentioned it, but hey! Even better then if you know. I'm always on the lookout for new shops.
*huggle* I've been struggling too with personal finances...I've been in the black too. Reserving in advance can be a double edge sword. AmiAmi doesn't charge you right away when reserving, but you never know if something might happen when it's time to pay and you might not have the funds. Last month I barely manged to pay for the monthly load of goods from AmiAmi.
I've sacrificed paying for some RL things I can get away with for a bit cuz I had to cover for other important RL things...and the rest went to hobbies. It's very hard. I know how you feel. You can't just suddenly back out of stuff you've already agreed to.
Best you can do is trust your gut. If you feel it's best to reserve it now, go for it and pay later, or go with paying in full. Don't regret too much.
After all, if collecting CCS things make you happy, then all it's worth it and that's what should matter the most.
I just keep repeating the exact same thing to myself: material things in real life (clothes, DVD, fancy foods etc...) will always be there, it's not like they are running off anywhere, right? But years from now, I will regret not getting those CCS goods which will be impossible to get in the future, or will be classified as Collectors and impossible to afford...
But even while telling me that, it's still hard! D: I'm a LOT, L-O-O-O-T more selective: I'm actually sacrificing even things that I really want, and even my priority list is getting cut off...Sincerely the problem is not the items' prices: it's the proxy buyer fees I have to pay for, it's the shipping cost from Japan and than it's the custom fees...without all these, I wouldn't be so short on money! >.
Hi... Just wondering if anyone knows how Anikuji works? IS it a lucky draw like Ichiban Kuji? Can't seem to buy it anymore on the Animate site... I really want the clear folders haha
I just got the Clow Book just yesterday from Kinokuniya! I am quite shocked to realise that it's sold out in Amazon JP... I live in South East Asia so I guess while there are people who love CCS here, not everyone knows of the limited edition stuff? Does your country have Kinokuniya?
I really want the clear folders from the Exhibition and Anikuji but i can't justify spending over a $100 on files...
Oops, I just realised the last post was on end Jan, haha but seeing this post made me want a lot...
About Anikuji, from my understanding, it is indeed you and your luck, meaning you cannot actually pretty much 'choose' you prizes like with Ichiban Kuji...
And I was very shocked too when the Clow Book was sold out almost immediately after it was posted on amazon.jp, since it's a 'book', I didn't think there would be problems of availability. That said, they already announced weeks ago that they would be printing more and that there should be more coming out in march/april ;)
About the folders from the exhibition, you can get them from Animate, Movic or CCS official online store, then of course there are auctions websites... Also, the clear files won't cost you a 100usd, very far from that: the items that were and still are very expensive are things like figures, the bears and canvas from Anikuji or the teapot from the Ichiban Kuji, these kind of things! Items like folders, postcards, towels, stickers, keychains, stationery in general, glasses etc.. can be obtained at reasonable prices.
Hi! Thank you for replying! SO when people say that they had spent a certain range of money for a certain product in Ankuji it prolly meant that they resort to auction sites? or the probability
