~Doll Budget~

[jo_sen7]

Reality bites.

Was chatting with some doll friends over weekend on how I am going to set a yearly budget for my BJD hobby. I know I made some big purchases this year (hints Reisner, Genji) and I was thinking I should still have some room to go...

Boy... was I wrong. I pulled out my credit card details yesterday and wrote down each purchase, be it

I have exams this week, sorry for the non-replies on MSN!

Reality really bites. D:

[jo_sen7]

Good luck!! See ya after your exams! XD

[raining_on]

Thanks! Last one tomorrow~~~ :3

Btw, would you be working this Saturday? I'll be at Plaza Sing area so if you are I can collect the dress from you!

[serenade_rose]

>__> Yeah, maybe sell some stuffs or try to restraint more in the upcoming months!!

Take comfort in knowing that your money goes into OH SO GORGEOUS boys. I know people who spend a bomb and their dollies are, err, :S

[jo_sen7]

Yeah boy! Going to dig out all the unused items this weekend and list them!

And what's worse is that I have zero marketable skills.

[raining_on]

The key is to model the outfits on a doll. It sells better than a photo of it lying flat down. Good luck~

[jo_sen7]

Darn... thats the tough part! But I shall try to see if I can bring myself to dress my boys.

Sat? Hmm, I will let you know again yeah?

I can totally empathise with your struggle, even if what I've spent is a fraction of yours, by my own standards... DX Brave it out, Joey! Somehow...

Volks is releasing another Shinsengumi character again?? >.< Dammit. I'm just glad that my crew only lacks bodies now. So more SD17 bodies being released into the market may be a good thing...?

[jo_sen7]

I think you gals are amazing! If I had known BJDs earlier, I wonder would I have 'sacrificed' so much?

Masamune is not part of Shinsengumi. He lived way before the Meiji Revolution. Chk it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_Masamune

[bunnisteffi]

Ahahah. What do you mean by 'sacrifice'? XD Did you even include Rene when you say 'you gals'? With W-san and Hiji's arrivals... Hmm.

Thanks for the wiki link!

[jo_sen7]

LOL! Hers was a one-off I guess. Sacrifices in the form of clothes, shoes for humans. XD

I understand where you're coming from. When there are two dolls in similar style that I like, I usually compromise and only get the one I like the most. To me, Genji and Date look similar.

[jo_sen7]

That makes the most perfect sense but but but its Date Masamune! :P

Your dolls are lovely!!!

[velveteenbunny2]

Well look at the bright side, many people are over budget and they don't have the awesome dolls you do, lol! The release of Masamune kind of throws a wrench in my plans as I also want the Alain re-release and hubby says probably only one more doll this year. Well, we'll see! ;D

[jo_sen7]

Ah!!! Alain the Lion is a hottie yeah?! But I have this thing for real historical figures! XD

[velveteenbunny2]

I do too! That was yet another of the attractions of Hijikata for me, lol!
