Sales don’t save you money
But they sure are cool.
KKnM is having a storewide 50% sale today and tomorrow. Of course whenever there’s a sale, you don’t actually save on anything because you end up buying things that you wouldn’t have bought otherwise. But still, 50% on all character goods and figurines is just too good to pass up.
I actually managed to control myself pretty well today.
Other than the obligatory Haruhi goods, I also picked up a copy of Queen’s Blade. It’s like a game book that you can use to duel with other people, except that the game itself is pretty stupid so most people buy it to ogle at the nice art. Each volume is one girl and different pages being different attacks/actions.
As I said, the game is pretty damn stupid because basically all you do is compare numbers and stats. But each volume features a different artist and the drawings are just faptastic. Awesome reference materials for aspiring doujin artists and perverts.
Just beautiful.
BTW, one of the reason why I didn’t buy much today is because there’s going to be ANOTHER sale tomorrow. Urban Attic is selling off a huge lot of PVC figures for between S$10 to S$50 and there are a few that I am considering getting.
Tj han has the entire price list on his blog. I am quite interested in the HIMM’s Anna figure from Clayz (S$20!) and Da Capo’s Tamaki Konomiya from Toy Planning (S$15!!!!!).
The sale starts at 11.30am tomorrow. Location is 5th floor of Funan.

There’s a huge crowd. I had to wait before I can go into the shop today. I came quite late so most of the stuffs I want were gone already /:

Pardon me for going oot, DarkMirage, but how long have you been studying Japanese?

Ha. I walked out of KKNM empty handed today.

O.o I was too busy walking around city hall finding my way to the MRT to realize that there’s a sales going on. I’ll try find my way to Funan tomorrow, if I can find my way to the MRT first.

wirbelwind: Quite a lot of people. Not sure if any Haruhi stuff are left.
quendidil: Four years.
Bridge Bunny: I did relatively well actually. Tj han was like “I’m not getting anything” and ended up spending S$105.

It’s just me or the girl on the cover looks a lot like Izumi from HiMM? I know it’s not the same artist, but she kinda looks like her.

December 30th, 2006 at 11:45 pm

Ohz? tjhan and DM were there today? I may have seen you guys there too! LOLz…
Was at KKnM from 4+ to 5+ and most of the Mikuru stuff are gone! One of my friends wanted to get the Mikuru Bunny Girl figurine, but it was sold out.
I think they still have quite a few of those Haruhi handphone straps in stock. A few of the display shelves were empty already around 5pm.
Hehz, see you guys tml at Urban Attic then! ^^
