Movie night was fun! The only thing is.... my utorrent randomly updated itself (I always say no, guess I missed), and now it is going slow as hael. I've had it on all day, and it's... really bad. So no idea when the next night of fun will be, because utorrent is kicking me in the balls. XD I'm trying to fix it. The Jirachi movie is inching it's way ( Read more... )

mother, collection, movie night

Haha, I SO want to buy a life-sized Zuruggu for my boyfriend's apartment (we have a joke that his roommate = Zuruggu) but I just know that after a commission fee + shipping that it'll just be too much money. :( But at least they're making a small plush!

"Ninten and Ness are like Pikachus in all these sets, where they are unnecessarily in every set, so if people are selling whole sets you will most likely end up with a few Nintens/Nesses to sell, lol."

I will totally buy a Ness off of you if you have an extra. :D And lol at how true that is about Pikachu, ugh.

Hahaha, that's awesome! I am guessing it'll come out to over $100 with shipping, yeah. XD But I want the Reshiram pokedoll too, and may as well grab a few other things while I'm at it and get EMS. ;___; I spend way too much money. Good thing they're making a small plush though! And there's the Tomy coming out this month too :D

I most likely will have two XD most sets on YJ are full sets, so yeah... it's funny though, he's even worse than Pikachu, because it is literally the exact same figure, just with a different set advertised on the back of the box XD but Ness is the most popular, so it makes sense I guess.

Currently the cheapest Ness on his own on Ebay starts at $24 with $8 shipping, so yeah... I'd give him to you for cheaper XDD

So you're definitely going for the life-sized Zuruggu then? If so, that's awesome! Until I play the games, I don't think I'm *that* committed to any expensive items just yet. Okay, I'm lying, since I bought a Miju talkie, but that's it! :p

Yeah, I recently did a search for Earthbound on Ebay (because I like knowing that I'll never be able to afford my own SNES cartridge) and saw individual figures come up at high prices. Aww, that would be really awesome of you to sell one to me at a decent price if you have an extra. <3 It'd be perfect because I don't really want to shell out money for a whole set and I'm only *really* interested in Ness because I'd like to try to get a figure of every character that's ever been in the Smash Bros. series. Even though they won't all be in scale and many characters don't even have figures that I know of. :<

I dunno, Pikachu is REALLY bad. He is in EVERYTHING. Who really wants that much Pikachu? How does one even collect Pikachu? I've somehow avoided owning any Pikachu items though. xD

;___; even after hearing the price from Gin, yeah. I'm very tempted by the entire promo, too... ugh. Well, I HAVE played the games... not finished them, but I did test them out to see just how awesome they were, so that helped my excitement/love for these Pokemon grow. And aww! I finally started watching the anime, and Mijumaru is so adorable ;__; I really want the Zorua talky actually, I still haven't gotten around to buying it ( ... )

Oh, what is Gin's price + shipping for them? Yeah, with some things I don't know what to do really... I think prices for these items will be MUCH lower once the hype wears down and people start selling off things that they decided they don't want to collect after all... but I also don't want to take the risk, you know? I'm still reluctant to spend $6 on a kid that I know will be $1 or $2 later. Mijumaru IS adorable! And I think someone was offering their Zorua talky recently... ? I don't know how rare they are actually ( ... )

Gin's estimating $200 shipped ($40-50 EMS included) and thinking of doing a waiting list for them. I think where you pay up front, and if her estimation of weight was off a little she'd refund some. XD Giant plush I have noticed never go down in price, but up, so I'm pretty sure I want to get it now D: the smaller stuff I may hold off on for now, but I'm so tempted--even buy that little zipper pouch. But I'd want to use it! D: urgh. I've spent $6-10 on a few kids, but I've also gotten a bunch cheap XD the store near my gets them pretty slow though... they still don't have the newest BW set out, but at least I saved money on the first one :D Only $3+ tax a kid! Damn. And yeah, I saw that... there's a decently priced talky Zorua on Ebay too, but they've been there for a month or so, so it's not a high priority yet ( ... )

Ahh, I just saw her post. Yeah, with a giant plush, it'd probably be better to get it sooner than later. Good luck! I'm going to wait a bit on the smaller Zuruggu plush and see if they either turn up a little cheaper or until I have the extra cash. BUT it looks like there's going to be a series where every gen 5 Pokemon gets its own plush anyway? Though... I am kind of scared of how that's going to work. Like, who is going to want to do pick ups for that? And if they do, I'm sure people will be limited in how many they can get. Hrmm ( ... )

Yeahhh.. the giant starters are just under/over $200 on Ebay, but... this is a limited campaign, and this little guy seems really popular, so I have a feeling these will be more rare than the startes. Especially if those are still in stores! And that may work :D I've seen a couple of the BW Pokecen plush turn up for $18-20 on the comm. For that series with all/most of the Pokemon, they're actually UFO catchers, so there'll be no "pick-ups", though you can order them in sets from distributors I believe (it's what the stores that have the machines do). That set kind of scares me, because of how much I'll want from it.... $20-30 x how many Pokemon? XD I saw Kokoromori in there!! Ahhhh ; v ( ... )

Yeahhh D: Craigslist luck is touch and go. But you never know! There's always going to be that idiot selling a game from his childhood he doesn't know is worth $100+. XD ( ... )

I agree that the giant Zuruggu will probably be more rare than the starters, so I don't blame you for wanting to get one asap. I kick myself every time I hold off buying something cool only to have it vanish or shoot up in price; it happens so often on things you wouldn't even expect ( ... )

jeansama January 20 2011, 09:51:58 UTC
Haha, I know! I'm excited for ones I worried about not getting plushes either--Zebraika, Archeops, Pendoraa, not typically cute Pokemon. The news is really so exciting! The Koromori looks really cute too! And haha, yess, Pringles ghosts ( ... )

dukeburger January 20 2011, 10:32:33 UTC
Ohh, I'm excited for Archeops too even though I'm TRYING to resist. The decisions are going to be way too difficult to make, lol. Oh, and what if they make both male and female Pringles ghosts? That's four plushies right there ( ... )

jeansama January 20 2011, 10:44:54 UTC
I am very sure that I won't be able to resist collecting Archeops. I may run into a point where I have to weed my collection, or at least store stuff in drawers and boxes until I get more display space. I love way too many Pokemon D ( ... )

dukeburger January 20 2011, 11:16:22 UTC
Yeah, I am seriously at the point where I don't have any more room but I keep buying stuff anyway with the logic that I'll be moving out eventually. Though I guess I had better actually start saving some money so that that can happen. xD ( ... )

I need to make more shelf space, buy more shelves, clean off two with junk I have on them... I hate cleaning XDD I need to find space for these two new posters I bought too ( ... )

dukeburger January 20 2011, 12:34:53 UTC
Hahaha, I hate cleaning too. xD I'm just so out of space, as I've been doing everything I can to use all of it for so long ( ... )
