| 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)

Tag: Figure, Evangelion, PG, EVA
Woo hoo!!! My ultimate PG EVA model kit "PERFECT GRADE EVANGELION EVA-01 Limited Coating Edition" has finally arrived! This figure was initially released in 1997 and later re-released in Limited Coating Edition a.k.a Extra Finished Edition in 2006, celebrating anime Neon Genesis Evangelion 10th anniversary. The normal 1997 edition had been on my wishlist way back in year 2000 as soon as I acquired the High Grade EVA-01, but back then the impulse to buy this figure wasn't strong enough nor I could afford USD195 for a premium model kit.

The package arrived in a HUGE box moments ago, in less than two weeks after a smooth eBay transaction. The 1/4 Mikuru Bunny Girl and 10cm-tall Nendoroid Kagami should be able to provide you a sense of scale here.

@ Jus a loser,
...by simply following the assembly diagram? LOL!
Perhaps you're right, I do have minimal experience in building model kit but this ain't my first time snapping these plastic pieces together. Do have to admit that I lack of painting skill and sticking decals though :p
