Beat that :P :(

Just blew 100,000 yen on doujinshi this month, raising my total to 189,918 yen. O.O :( :roll: :sd:

[Jumbo]

I was on the fence about picking up the R2 Higurashi but this Geneon buisness that has been going on (Or the fact that buisness is no longer going on...) ^^; finally forced me to make the purchase rather than wait to see what happens with the series in R1 land from here on out. Thank gawd I picked the first season up in R2 and didn't wait on the Shana OVA either...

And I'm wasting enough time posting all this stuff, I'm not going to waste any more pricing it up, Sorry. I'm hardly the king of the R2 buying anyway and if you're that curious I suppose you can track down the items on your own if you'd like. Again, apologies for being a spoil sport and not playing along.

[Shiroi Hane]

I'm a little worried that Denno Coil came out a couple of days ago, but my order with Yes Asia is still showing as searching from suppliers and they list it as "temporarily" out of stock.
Its not like it was a last minute order since I placed it a month in advance (IIRC it took a while to show up or I'd've ordered it earlier)

Since my last post I've also placed orders for the Sky Girls OP single "Virgin's High" and Higurashi Kai vol1 LE (which is showing as ready to ship)

[vanfanel]

Shouldn't certain items be handicapped as well? I mean, a 3,800 yen Ghibli DVD is one thing, but what if I ordered, say, an 8,000 yen Rurouni Kenshin reverse-blade earwax pick or something? That should count for at least 16,000 yen worth of stupidity, I would think... :)

***pre-emptive edit***
I do not have a link for any such earwax pick

[Shiroi Hane]

I have absolutely no idea what you are saying...
in happier news Kiddy Grade Maelstrom and Lucky Star 4 are both "ready to ship" but still waiting for stock on Dennou Coil :\

[ilmaestro]

Not going to beat anyone, but:

CD Japan:
Aria OVA "Arietta" ¥5000

Nah, I got you beat. Ikkitousen DD 4, Gurren Lagann 3 and Geass 9 for a grand total of ¥13,125.
