Kalafina's Hikari Furu, 2013 calendar have arrived


This is shaping up to be a rather good day.

The wait was killing me but my Kalafina stuff has finally reached me. I'll shoot my usual unboxing photos within these two days. So happy :) .... next time... I think I may just go with Fedex. :p

Also.... my prep shot and roto shot from last week got approved. :) I am particularly happy about that prep shot because I really struggled with it. So when I got the email notification that both the shots have been approved.... I wad sooooo happy. :)

This morning.... my Raspberry Pi finally arrived too.... months after I ordered and paid for the thing.

Yup.... it had been a pretty good day so far..... fingers crossed that it'll be good to the end of today.... heck.... the whole week too. :)

Jealous of your Kalafina calendar! T_T
Also, sorry for bothering you, but I've been looking for months for someone to order Kalafina CDs from CDJapan together with in order to save on shipping costs (because I am THAT broke). If you're interested, maybe next time we could order together? I'll be glad to transfer you the full amount first via iBanking. I'd be able to help you earn more CDJapan member reward points at the same time too! :)

Hi Shangyou,

Sorry for the late reply, I was rather busy this week and I've not been online much.

I'm okay with sharing shipping for CDs shipped from Japan. :)

Are you thinking of getting anything? Will you be ordering the Type-Moon 10th Anniversary blu-ray set? I have pre-ordered that... so if you want to tag anything on... just let me know. :)

cheers

Yayyy! Finally found a Kalafina buddy! :P

And yes! I will get the Type-Moon 10th Anniversary blu-ray set no matter what! A live performance of seventh heaven is worth killing for! XD

Btw, I realised that AmiAmi is selling pre-orders of the blu-ray set at a much lower price: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=MED-DVD2-17773

I've ordered Fate/Zero WS trading cards from AmiAmi a couple of times so I know the shipping costs are reasonable and the website is definitely reliable. Maybe you might want to pre-order there instead? :3

Also, I can tell from your blog posts that you are working in the media/film industry. That's awesome! I'm an ex-film student and I'm currently trying to enter the SAF Film Unit so I can do something productive while doing my National Service. :P

I usually use AmiAmi for figures and some of their sale items are very nicely priced, their prices on books aren't usually the best and sometimes their prices on cds & dvds aren't the best too.

Amazon Japan can be quite good too but their shipping is expensive so I'll only get from them if the item is cheap enough that even with shipping it's the best price. That's often the case with new anime dvd/blu-ray releases.

There are two big reasons why I often prefer CDJapan over AmiAmi. One of them is the points. I can use my own affiliate links as well which means that in the end the difference in price can be quite negligible and sometimes even better than AmiAmi. And the other big reason is that CDJapan will let you easily cancel an item, AmiAmi is relatively inflexible on this issue.

However, if you wish to share shipping, I can cancel my order at CDJapan and go with AmiAmi. If I was just ordering my own, the difference in price is really quite negligible but it'll impact you more if I kept it at CDJapan.

Yes... I have to be creative... my hobbies are expensive and I'm also feeling the strain on my finances. :p

It's probably best to continue this discussion via email. Would you like to leave me an email or would you rather I leave you one? :)

Yes, I work in the media/film industry but as I rather not publicly declare the specifics, I'll not say where I work and the projects I work on on this blog. :) Good luck with entering the SAF Film Unit... some of their ads in the past were quite nice. Make more nice ads!!! :)

Woaaaah I'm so jealous of your life to be able to afford so many things! Haha~

And yes please do e-mail me at Freedom92sy@hotmail.com! :)

As for your pre-order on CDJapan, I think you should keep it! I already pre-ordered from AmiAmi and I can't seem to cancel it. -_-''

If I wanna buy any more stuff from CDJapan, I'll let you know! I'm still trying to save some cash for the Scandal Haruna Lighter though... and I'm gonna be spending lotsa money at AFA, Scandal's Malaysia concert, and EOY... so probably not. X_X Anyway, we can talk further about this via e-mail!

It's very nice to meet somebody in the film industry who is obsessed with Kalafina just like me. I don't feel so strange anymore. :P

Hello... "afford so many things"... :) I guess I am pretty lucky. :) I'll email you when I have a little more time... now I'm preparing to write my Hikari Furu un-boxing post. :)

Yeah... that's the one thing I don't like about AmiAmi... cancellation can be a pain... I understand where they are coming from... but when I order from them, I have to be ultra certain that I want to get an item... although, I rarely ever cancel items ordered through CDJapan though.

I think the bulk of my money will be spent this weekend at AFA12. :) There is a Madoka booth and a SAO booth... I think there will be things that I will have a hard time resisting. :P

Don't feel strange... hahahaha... there is nothing wrong about being passionate about things that interest us. :)

Woaaaah you gonna spend lotsa money at the Madoka and SAO booth? I'm jealous! :(

I think I'll already be broke after trying to get the Prize A Saber from the Toycoin booth. Sigh. ~_~ http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=444417678927089&set=a.444416722260518.89478.112457998789727&type=1&theater
