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).

Bought this figurine several months ago, but untill now she is still my number one favorite figurine. This is my first attempt doing photograph using light box, made the box from Happy Soda’s tutorial.

Not many figures that I want for this month well except for the haruhi april restock from HLJ, but I’m not sure if I can get it. So rather than doing nothing, I took my old figurine and did some photo shoot, trying with different style

One thing I like about this figure is the superb quality, and the size is quite big

Second parcel from HLJ has arrived this morning, the box is huge, Yuukanalia alone filled 80% of the box… took 19 days shipping (SAL) for the box to arrive, and costed me total of 12066 yen (the shipping cost alone was 1780 yen), around A$133.

The box contained Max Factory 1/6 Yuukanalia priced 6476 yen from Kikou Majutsushi enchanter manga , and I have no idea what is it :p, and Good Smile Company Nendoroid Hetare Saber from Fate/Stay Night priced 3810 yen.

This morning (like an hour ago) when I was getting out from my flat, I saw a guy bringing 2 parcels coming to my flat. I waited for him (I’ve guessed that the packet would be my long awaited parcels :D); and it was true

One parcel from HLJ, and another one from JList. I Put the boxes inside my car then I went to work; opened those boxes while I was driving :D.

HLJ box contained 1/6 GSC Saber Holiday Dress version and Saber keychain (which I attached to my car/flat keys :D). The HLJ parcel costed me total of around A$91 (8127 yen), 16 days SAL shipping (27 days total if I count from the very 1st day I clicked process order).

JList box contained 1/6 Alter Saber white bikini. Which took me like more than 2 weeks just to find one (with japanese price and not located in US). Before I ordered from JList, I’ve ordered this one from Angolz for total A$91 (I know it was expensive, but alot cheaper compared to local shop, or US shipping cost..); But 8 days after they received my payment, they sent me an email saying that the item was unavailable anywhere (was in-stock when i ordered, but after I ordered; it became out of stock), I lost A$6 in the process of refund… Luckily at that time JList suddenly had this figurine listed but only 1 in stock, so without thinking much, I purchased this one. All and all, i’m very glad that the figurine I received is original Alter figure (good quality, at least about the same with the one in HappySoda review), with Type-Moon sticker on it. This one costed me total around A$70 (actually A$76 if I add the A$6 I lost from angolz), 13 days SAL shipping (16 days total if I count from checkout day)
