| Overseas Otaku Buying Tips
Making online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been the best option for me (and many otakus who do not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list, preorders and purchases from these reputable online companies. Your purchase via these links supports this site :)

 • YesAsia (Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
 • J-list (many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
 • HobbySearch (Comprehensive inventory
     but no free shipping and no shipping cost
     provided upon placing an order )
 • HLJ (very good alternative to HobbySearch)
 • E2046 (many figures & rules in resin kit)
 • Play-Asia (My #1 online shop)

Quick post, today's Wonfes 2010 (Winter) saw exactly 5 figures that will definitely go onto my pre-order list this year. They are Nendoroid rendition of Haruhi and Yuki from "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" movie, the long awaited "original" Saber, figma Haruhi high-schooler version, and the pretty much forseeable GSC release of a scaled version of Senjougahara Hitagi from anime Bakemonogatari. All photos were taken from Wonfes 2010 (Winter) coverage sites listed below.

@ Jus a loser,
More eccchi means more expensive eh? LOL!
This is a really expensive figure for people like us living outside Japan, about the cost of a PG model kit including shipping via EMS. I believe that's a "standard" price to pay for Collet via proxy service :)

Thanks!

@ James,
Gomen gomen... I always have this impression that you will collect most "major" releases (^_^)!
LOL! That sounds good for your wallet as an exclusive usually costs double or triple a typical scaled figure. I guess I am one of those "unfortunate" collectors who easily surrender $$$ to eccchi figure :p

Quick post, 6 weeks after the shipment date and my Tekken 6 UMD finally arrived! The long delay was rather unexpected despite the holiday season as most of my items ordered at Play-Asia would normally arrive within 10-12 days, or 4 weeks at most for slow shipment. Anyways I took a quick snap of the back cover and UMD of PSP Tekken 6, shown below.

@ Preston,
Yup, but the PS3 doesn't give me any portability and sometimes it is occupied by my brother so I'll still need the UMD. That's Kazuya by the way ^^.

@ Jus a loser,
Yes I did (^_^)! I bought it as a collection since I am a Tekken fan. I think I am still far from beating our so-called alien friend :(

Japanese TV programme "Yama-chan Non-chan no FF Gakuen" revealed some very interesting inside scoop of making the character Snow Villiers of Final Fantasy XIII as well as his lip-sync animation. Seen below are his painted skin layer covering up the raw 3D meshes.

Above: Aya Hirano's Speed Star CD+DVD Album Cover

Released recently (18th Nov 2009) was one of my favorite seiyuu Aya Hirano's full length studio album "Speed Star"! The initial impression was that the album was very rockish (I loved her rock tunes though), most probably due to included A-side songs -Super Driver, Sing a Song!, Set me free and Unnamed World- that were previously released on CD singles. Upon further listening I did find her pop rock tracks OH! My Darlin' (track 04), Kiss Me (track 06) and Ano Hana no Youni (track 07) very catchy and enjoyable as well.
