Seriously though...the Yamato 19's are pretty amazing toys, no matter the color! I have to admit... I really did enjoy watching the final episode of Macross 7. It was ridiculous... but a fun kind of ridiculous. Plus, I never get tired of listening to "Try Again", probably the best Fire Bomber song. Is it bad that I liked watching Max and Miria fighting in VF-22's, and Battle 7 blowing up? Edited April 23, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) @Shizuka the Cat, now you have to hunt dow for this to complete the whole shebang. It's a wonder though why Arcadia didn't produce this for their VF-19? Edited April 23, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a list of possible valks that I want get however I might pass on a fair bit of them as I'm being really picky and selective this time.. I know... I know. I got carried away by what I thought was a decent bargain. Yes, I am a compulsive shopper... obviously. *sigh* Fortunately, other than my mortgage, I am not really carrying around any debt. Just burning thru my savings. I wonder if I can earn some income during summer vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more grad students than there are funded RA or TA positions, unfortunately. As for selling stuff, I do have a box filled with DVDs and CDs I am thinking of sending off to Decluttr. Looks like I can get about $70 from them for what I have in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it only for US based residents? My wife and I have a ton of CDs and DVDs we’d like to offload.

Can I use the decluttr Store if I live outside the US? A. At this time, we are unable to accept orders from customers outside the US.

They have a mobile app that can scan ISBN numbers of items and tells you how much they will offer you for the item. Some DVDs they might not take. Others, they might give you 5 cents for. Still others, maybe a couple of dollars. Oddly enough, the items in my box that seem to fetch the most money are my swing dancing CDs.

I cosplayed a little bit during my high school and undergrad years. Some of us from MIT would dress up for Anime Boston, Halloween, and some themed parties. But, other than wearing kigurumis as pajamas at home or some other costume to spice things up in bed, I have not really cosplayed in public since graduating. Nope... not married. But dating.

I swear, I’m THIS CLOSE to killing autocorrect. Will do. I remember liking the Lucky Star anime when I was in high school, so cheap $5-ish figures of them cosplaying as Macross Frontier characters was just too cute and cheap to pass up. I just found this unboxing video on YouTube... Apparently, these figures came out back in 2009 and were part of a lottery called Ichiban-kuji Premium. One drawing cost 800 yen, with the odds of winning a figure being 4%. I am so happy that they are so cheap to obtain nowadays. P.S. Just finished watching the above open-boxing video, and Youtube autoplayed this as a follow-up...
