]]> I haven’t had a chance to update much recently after a week of death at uni (5 pieces of assessment spaced out over 4 days…), but I have managed to pick up a couple of bits and pieces; Sackboy from Little Big Planet and Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII:

Play Arts - Lightning - Final Fantasy XIII - 4 Play Arts - Lightning - Final Fantasy XIII - 5
Sackboy - Littlebigplanet - 5
Play Arts - Lightning - Final Fantasy XIII - 3 Sackboy - Littlebigplanet - 4

I like the Sackboy Collectable. I think its the first real piece of LittleBigPlanet merch in Canberra (let alone Australia). It was cheap too, but what I really want is a plushie, and I’m guessing I’m not the only one…

My Lightning figure finally arrived from Tamarket on Friday, apparently they had been caught up with moving stuff from the Supanova conventions, which is understandable. It’s a nice figure, of pretty good detail and quality, with my only complaints being with the hair and how some of the joints appear. Aesthetics has been sacrificed for extra movement, but I really do like it nonetheless.

I’m kind of disappointed with the lack of free time I really have at the moment. I’ve started to watch Cowboy Bebop, and am averaging about 1 episode/session a week, which sucks… I’ve also picked up Resonance of Fate for PS3 and the two Otacool books (otaku rooms and world-wide cosplayers) but I guess they will have to wait until either a rainy day, or a uni break for me to enjoy them. Oh wells…

I have fairly decent plans for tomorrow, up early for the ANZAC day Dawn Service here in Canberra and then going to the Raiders match in the afternoon. Hopefully I’ll be able to sneak a bit of photography at each…

]]> During the little time I had during my work trip this past week when I actually had reception for my iPhone, I managed to make an order for two new figures, Alicia Melchiott and Isara Gunther from my most favouritist PlayStation 3 game, Valkyria Chronicles.

I used an Australian based importer called Tamarket. Usually I will order off Ebay, through a seller actually based in Japan, however, I thought I should test out someone local, mainly to encourage the local stores, but also to test out whether ordering locally makes things easier. IT DOES.

I managed to send out the order for the two figures on first morning of the trip, the order had arrived, via express post, when I got home the following day. A one day turn around, something impossible when ordering overseas. Tamarket’s prices were fairly reasonable as well, so I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone in Australia wanting to order anime figures.

Anyway, to the figures:

SEGA Ex Figure - Alicia + Isara 1 (Valkyria Chronicles)

SEGA Ex Figure - Alicia Melchiott 5 (Valkyria Chronicles) SEGA Ex Figure - Alicia Melchiott 2 (Valkyria Chronicles)
SEGA Ex Figure - Isara Gunther 2 (Valkyria Chronicles) SEGA Ex Figure - Isara Gunther 1 (Valkyria Chronicles)
SEGA Ex Figure - Alicia + Isara 4 (Valkyria Chronicles)

I am absolutely looking forward to the release of Valkyria Chronicles 2 later in the year, it is on my list of the four ‘must buy’ games for this year (others being Bioshock 2, Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo 5, if it is ever released…).
