Due to my new interest in PVC statues I will be reviewing each PVC I purchase beginning with the Haruhi beach side PVC shown in a previous post. I will not be starting a brand-new blog specifically dedicated to PVC reviews because PVC's are so expensive and thus I will not be buying enough of them to warrant a new blog. In my reviews I will be discussing a variety of things that come to mind when I look at the figure and will also be judging them on four different catagories: Paint/Craftsmanship, packaging, price, and likability. I will be posting my first PVC review later today or tomorrow and am due to receive another shipment of DVDs from rightstuf.com tomorrow, so keep an eye out for two new posts.
One more thing: I'll also be changing the background color because I feel the pictures I post are hard to see on the black background. If you think the color I choose isn't very good feel free to suggest a new one. Thanks!

Best Buy fails me!
I was really looking forward to taking advantage of Best Buy's 50% off anime titles sale that they were holding in select stores. Unfortunately the three closest stores are NOT having this sale. Now, there's really only one close Best Buy (about fifteen miles). In my entire state of Oregon there are only five Best Buy's and the two farthest from me are having this sale. Now that my little rant is over here are my acquisitions for this month.
Eh don't expect too much from this post DVD-wise, I'm still hurting from my last spending spree! Let's see here, we have Utawarerumono, bought from rightstuf.com in the bargain bin. Vol. 1 cost me $5 and Vol. 2+artbox cost me $7; great value! Death Note vol. 9 purchased for $13.77 with my 10% got anime discount plus the "soulful savings" deal they had going on. I finally got around to getting the next Naruto filler set. They're O.k. but nothing too exciting. Naruto went for just $27! Rounding out Bleach's Soul Society arc with Vol. 15; and the movie "The girl who leapt through time."
Another four Naruto manga were released this month. Got them for under $5 each at rightstuf.com
This is my very first PVC. Haruhi stands, or rather kneels, at 15cm's. She comes with a removable shirt that I took off <_< and put back in the box. Since then I've pre-ordered two more PVC's from play-asia.com Including a 30cm Konanta from Lucky Star! Unfortunately she won't be released until Jun 30th, so it's quite a wait. Well that's it for this post. I'll be posting again a few days after payday (lol). Thanks for reading, take care.

I've gone overboard with stuff
Because of the digital switch I was forced to make a decision: buy a converter box or an HDTV. Well I chose the latter, and I'm quiet happy with it. I ended up going for a 50" Panasonic (plasma) for a thousand dollars. (Troy is on the T.V.)
^_^ Not bad. I figured I needed the perfect accompaniment to go with that nice t.v., a Panasonic Blu-ray player.
I almost forgot; my imported Lucky Star figures arrived a week ago, aren't they cute? They were boxed at random so I ended up with three Akira's and no Konata's!!!!! >_<
I thought this Haruhi pillow was cool >_>
Now the part you've all been waiting for: my anime DVDs for this month :)
I'm not going to be posting for awhile-I'm totally and utterly broke. After bills I have $11 and some change. Besides, I have so many DVDs to watch I really don't need anymore right now ^_^ Sayonara!

Anime, manga, and some other stuff
It's already February; time flies. I went a bit crazy on the spending this month, I blew over $600. I'm definitely done for this month, though I will have another post in a few days when the rest of my order(s) get here (I bought stuff from three different online sites this month).
Bought all of the available Naruto part II manga - or Shippuden if you prefer. Unfortunately they did edit the 37th volume. A certain character takes up a habit that they felt was too inappropriate for their target market. I've got the next four volumes preordered at right stuf already, maybe I'll get them earlier than they're release date.
I know the pictures are blurry, sorry about that. Anyway if you didn't notice I bought Haruhi Vol. 1 LE when I already had Vol. 1 standard edition. Not sure why I did it, just felt like it I guess. Also purchased Haruhi Vol. 2&3 LE. Those three things alone cost me $130, now you see where the money went! I really don't like Dragonball Z that much anymore, so I just got around to buying the seventh season and the eighth one just came out the other day.
I thought this was a really cool wallscroll but there was one other I also was considering. I chose this one because the other one was actually out of stock at the time so that's what decided it for me. I may get the other one sometime though.
Last but not least an Inuyasha mug. Not much else can be said about that. My wife loves Inuyasha so it's for her more than anything. Well that's it for this post! Next post will include my purchase from Hobby Link Japan and from rightstuf. Come to think of it, some of the stuff I bought at rightstuf hasn't been released yet. Damn. I hate waiting. Thanks for reading.
