Mini Merch Haul: Moving Kirby Acrylic Stands

The ensky Kirby moving acrylic diorama stands are finally available in Western retailers yay! No importing fees required~

I was curious since I've never had an acrylic stand that moves before, and I'm very glad that I decided to buy them. 😊 They're super cute!!

Shopping Haul June 2021: No Rejet No Life

Can you believe that after all these years, Rejet still has a hold on my heart and wallet? They really weren't kidding when they said No Rejet no Life LOL. 💸💸

Even though my last package was still sailing across the sea, I once again decided to purchase from DeJapan because I can never say no to great customer service and low proxy fees. 

Since I chose surface mail, it took about 3 months before it finally safely arrived! And now here I am making a post in December because... life haha.

Unboxing: Shuuen no Virche ErroR: salvation - Animate Limited Set

Shuuen no Virche has been one of my most anticipated otome games for 2021, especially with the way Otomate has been heavily promoting it, so I decided to splurge and buy the Animate set! (｡´∀｀) I was very excited when it arrived a day early (and while I was in class remotely lmao), and it took all my willpower to not just tear into the box www. 

Shopping Haul April/May 2021: Vita Games + Returning to my Roots

So in March, I decided to shop for merch and things on Ebay because I didn't have the strength to return to proxy shipping.

Well... I've changed my mind. 🤣 In addition to buying off Ebay, I'm now once again importing!

You may notice that it is no longer May... that's because I am but a poor soul who decided to choose Surface Mail for the bulk of my purchases LOL. 

The items that weren't bought off Ebay were bought through DeJapan, so if you're interested in my experience there'll be a review for that soon~

Onto the haul!

First Time at Book Off! Shopping Haul June 2021

Over the years I've heard stories of people finding cheap otome games and merch at this second hand store called Book Off, but I could only dream of visiting since there are no locations where I live. 

However I was out of town recently and happened to be near a store... so naturally I couldn't resist!!

While this may seem like my first merch haul post for a while, I actually have a couple more hauls ahead of this. They're traveling by sea though so it'll take quite some time before they arrive lol...

Anyway. Onto the merch haul!

Shopping Haul March 2021: Featuring Kuro's Misadventures in Online Shopping (+ Positives)

Due to covid impacting shipping and honestly not having extra money to buy games anyway, it's been a while since I've actually bought physical copies of games. I used to import quite a bit but with the way prices are now, my wallet just can't take all the extra proxy + shipping fees. 😷 So I thought.. I know a place where I can technically communicate directly to sellers and I'll pay about the same but without the international fees: Let's shop on Ebay!

Ebay was very eghh in my younger days, but it's definitely gotten better now, especially with more buyer protection policies.. Right?

Well...

It's been hit and miss, and apparently I just have awful online shopping luck lol.

Some were my fault, others were not. Oof. 😅 Despite my first couple transactions going not so well, there were some positives from this haul as well!

Unboxing Diabolik Lovers More Blood Mukami/Tsukinami Mug

My phone's really bad, sorry

AHHHHHH A MUKAMI MUG!! And Tsukinamis but they're invisible to me

Akui preordered this for me as a Christmas gift since I didn't have a Mukami Mug of my own (b/c they're really hard to come by and not many mukami mugs are made in general //sobs) and now that it's released and arrived, it's gorgeous. (〃∇〃)

The art used is from the Alice in Wonderland version, with Carla/Shin/Ruki on one side and Kou/Yuma/Azusa on the other:

 

I've been using it about a week now??? It's a really nice mug! It has a nice glossy look, so I don't think the image will peel off or anything. The mug's also really good at retaining temperature too compared to general mugs I have at home (i.e. if you put a cold drink in it, it'll stay cold) and the inside doesn't stain easily. 

If I had it my way, I would just display it with my collection. But then I'd get in trouble |D

Here's an example of Animate's special set for a more professional image of how the mug itself looks lol. 

And of course, since it kinda goes along as a promo of the More Blood anime, it came with a little More Blood card, with a little snippet of episode 1 written on the back. ouob

*strokes mug forever*
