Happy 1 year anniversary otadesho.com.
一年の記念日おめでとうotadesho.com !
Today, 16th January 2008, marks 1 year since I posted my 1st post in this blog. This blog name wasn’t otadesho.com at that time, it was otaku@melbindo.com (since it was hosted in my other domain melbindo.com ^^). I moved the blog to dedicated server and name it otadesho.com on the 1st May 2007 :D.
I want to give my thanks to all readers and fellow bloggers (too long to list ^^), and especially to HappySoda that inspired me to do figurine photograph (and blogging it).
To thank my readers, I decided to make a small quiz with small reward as well :p
The question is:
How many figurines are there in the photo below? (all, including trading figurines)
Send your answer via email to ron at otadesho dot com with subject “otadesho anniversary“, and post in here saying that you are joining this silly competition ^^ (don’t post your answer here tho, but you need to leave comment here with the same email address to validate your submission email). You can send up to 3 emails (3 tries), I’ll grab the correct one.
this small competition will end on the 20th January 2008 (Sunday) 23:59:59 AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time). I will randomly choose 1 winner from all correct submissions and will post the news here (and contact the winner via email to ask your address).
The winner will receive these postcard sized pin ups (yah they are crappy, I know ^^)
I will post them world wide via Australia Standard Post (so it may take a while to arrive to your place if you live far far away ^^).
Note: if the figurines are boxed as one (eg: Mikan and Manabi figurine), I consider that as one figurine.

Competition ended. I will count everything tomorrow morning, need to sleep now. Thanks all

one
because they are packed together and sold as one
January 16, 2008 at 1:46 am
Congratulations of hitting the one year mark! I gave up on counting the figures as soon as I realized it was waaaay to early in the morning.
I hope I’m awake enough to get the math question right.
Yay! I got it right!

Gratz on the one year and I’m looking forward to many more from you =) Sweet collection you’ve got there with many that I wish I had ^^b That Nendoroid collection is really something as well. Nice!
Thanks to insomnia (or too much late night coffee -_-) but still needing to wake up for work, I was going cross-eyed while trying to count them ^^; And whenever I manage to retain focus, they keep roving to Fauna and Shinku, which I really, really like and want =D~

(Almost forgot, happy anniversary ^o^)
January 16, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I want to try too ^o^
January 16, 2008 at 2:21 pm
“HINT: there’s a figurine that looks like one, but actually they are two figurines.”
Now I’m confused @_@. Are asuka and rei and the 2 maids at the top counted as one?
January 16, 2008 at 2:33 pm
you have to figure that yourself
whether they are packed as one or sold separately
January 16, 2008 at 2:44 pm
If this is the one that has Asuka lying down, I’m pretty sure that they come together. I considered grabbing that at one point. BTW, count me in.
January 16, 2008 at 2:48 pm
…….. so its counted as one if they came together in one package? and they are counted as 2 if they were in 2 separate packages?
or you’re saying they are counted as one as long they cannot be separated from each other or “glued” to eachother?
January 16, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I sent you my correct answer.
If I actually won this, my AP Chemistry class is going to have something to talk about for the next couple days 
(refer to my e-mail and this post will make much more sense).
January 16, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Happy 1 year anniversary! I guess I’m entering…
January 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm
^^; if they are officially sold as one, then they are one ^^
January 16, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Ohhhh k…..I was over-analyzing too much :p. Only one more try *gup* here I go i guess. I hope I at least get the answer right. ._.
January 16, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I’ll join in this little game too! XD
January 16, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Congrats~
Hope you continue for many years especially when you give a lucky one such goodies. (Houmei-sama I want you!) LOL
