The Lugia I dreamed of having! : D
Went with a couple friends to Japan for Vacation. (Christmas & New Year )
I had a goal to achieve while in Japan.
And it was due to ONE photo I saw online.
More of the story in the Cut.
LOTS of PICS! 56K beware!
So. After research. I found out that no one had bought it, Picture was posted 1 month prior. The picture looked like the neck was at an awkward position.
After arriving at the place. The display no longer has all the pokemon stuff. They had Star Wars on display.
I go all around the store, and ask around. and found they had hidden in the back away from view and people touching. (Some employees didn't even know it existed lol)
After doing an inspection, everything checked out. And that neck was.... interesting.
And went on to throw my wallet at the cashier employee to buy it XD.
Carrying like this did not last more than 10 mins. You never know how heavy giant Lugia is until you see in person.
I carried him in my arms (Turned many heads as I carried thru streets, trains. People muttering "Sugoi, Lugia) LOL
Got home and took couple pics.
I compared it to other giant Lugia pics floating around. and noticed the one I got, the neck is in an interesting position.
My friend said it's in a japanese saying: (Doh Yah) position. Or a Lugia that is always looking down on you.
I did try to bend that neck & head position to the Lugia's I saw online. But it doesn't looks like it likes that position.
Next issue. Moving it back to Canada. haha.
So trying to origami Lugia into a luggage with Snivy was not a fun thing.
Upon arriving into Canada, the moment I got the luggage, I opened it up and got it out.
And went ahead and turned some more heads at the airport.
and here's the photodump of it. It's surprisingly clean for the age.
It was just missing the front tag.
It had the Pikachu, string that held the missing front tag, tush tag.
So in the end, enjoyed the trip with friends.
Got a grail that I have been looking for a long time.
BUT, even though this is a top grail for me.
This is going to be departing from me very soon. : P
There is someone that will appreciate it more than I will.
it'll pop back up sometime soon. : )
Other than Snivy & Lugia. Also got a Oshawott.
