Griffon Belldandy Figure

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Ah! My Goddess, Griffon has scheduled a Belldandy figure in March 2009 (which will then be 21st anniversary. The figure looks quite nice but I dont fancy the dress as it resembles something.Nevertheless, it's a worthwhile figure if you have about $US123 or 11800 Yen to spare excluding shipping charges.

Anyway, with the current exchange rates and the ownership of 2 Belldandy figures, I'll skip this one.

Hobby Stock

MIA II

Yea... if it wasnt for a cold and flu, guess, I'll be MIA till Christmas.

Couple of updates

1. Bookcafe no longer offer online purchasing, so I have to revert back to the expensive Yesasia. Kinda wish that I bought Prince of Tennis 1-8 in the last order so that I wont have to settle for Yesasia now. The saddest is that I cant find ARIA CH V12 unless I get the TW version.

2. My brother got MG Impulse cheap from HLJ, sale + before the economy hurricane. We had to pay 0.016 instead of 0.011 conversion for MG Justice last month. By the way, my brother finished both his MG while my MG Destiny and MG Justice still......
But I have spray painted the skeleton to silver leaf which looks whiter than the gloss aluminium that my brother had on his Justice.

Madman Australia had a massive discount last week and yea... spend couple of hundreds to get 3 boxsets.

There're still some orders with HLJ and Hobby Search.
1. FF Mini Collection 3 and ARIA with HLJ
2. Tsubasa Piano Book and ARIA Aveniere with Play-Asia
3. FSN Saber figure with Hobby Search

Wanna buy a couple of DVD from Amazon but exchange rate is so not appealing at all.

Bookcafe awesome

Beat that Amazon, Yesasia, Play-Asia. Ordered my stuff on Thursday and sent on Friday, arrived on Saturday.

Ordered 16 volumes of Prince of Tennis, HL2, Cross Game 11-12 and Tsubasa 24.

I couldnt get Aria 12, HL 1 and Prince of Tennis 41 as they are out of stock. Darn...

Still got 4 more books, Tsubasa 22 & 23, Pastel 19 and Aria 12. I try my luck with Yesasia on Aria 12. Not looking good as the other 3 are in stock now and Aria 12 still searching for suppliers.

I could have order them a lot earlier but Bookcafe upgraded to Verified by Visa card only, my cards cant complete the purchase process. Absolutely no problem with other site like HLJ, Amazon, Yesasia and Play-asia. Stupid. So I got myself a new card but by that time Aria 12 is out of stock.

Anyway, hope Yesasia can find one for me...

GSD Piano Book

My favourite song for the Gundam Seed/Gundam Seed Destiny series.

The piano book comprises 50 selection from the anime Gundam Seed Destiny. I dont play piano but another musical instrument. Had always want the original score as I find most transcribed are not accurate (or different keys) but I do appreciate the effort of all transcibers out there.

Available at Play-asia.

ARIA Origination PS2 II

Aria the Origination Aoi Wakusei no el Cielo Material Collection




Left: Agnes Dumas in 3 different undine uniforms
Right: Example of character profiles


Some scenes from the game.


Two of the most beautiful scene. Instead of having Akari or Alice for the hill scene and the promotion, you'd be able to experience the promotion from the choice of Alicia, Akira or Athena of your choice. Of course, must be the company you have chosen!


So you got promoted to single undine and the other undines congratulate you with a present

Received my ARIA Origination PSII Cielo gamebook. Basically the game offers role-playing as Agnes with a choice to join either of the 3 undine company. As you can see from the photos that I have taken, it's a good quality as the previous PS2 installment.

A wonderful collection for an ARIA fan!!!!

Available at Play-Asia.

ARIA Origination PS2 CD

The Theme CD for Aria Origination PSII arrived today. Expecting the PSII Gamebook to arrive maybe next week?? Available at Play-asia.

*Graceful Way / Hana No Saku Hoshi / Il Cielo (Aria The Origination - Aoi Wakusei No Il Cielo Theme Song)

Short Note
