December Decadence!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Today's acquisitions: a second-hand 400% Synchronization Eva 01. Complete but of course who wants to buy used stuff in Japan, especially from the old Eva series? Gaijin on a splurge of course. ¥3500 from Mandrake, about a third of the unopened one in Capsule G.
Next crazy score was an unopened black Movie Arcee. ¥2500 odd, or about $33.
Then the bargains kinda stopped, and while getting an Encore Devastator from Hero Gangu for my best friend in Oz I picked up a PE not-Reflector set for ¥8800. Hope the little guys are worth it.

Pics of the year's total Japan haul to come soon, I need to clean my house and find out what happened to my impulse control first.

¥3500 from Mandrake

Do you mean "Mandarake" (まんだらけ)?

しもた.
I do indeed mean Mandarake.

すまへん 先生!

[GoktimusPrime]

ゆるさへん! (am I saying that right? )

Buggered if I know, like most Nihongo that's one I haven't come across yet.

Irritatingly I just opened not-Reflector up and they're the Night Ops version. The box has a tiny little sticker saying so on the back, as opposed to the standard rest of the box. Maybe I should have looked closer, instead of just assuming that having the Night Ops box set right next to it meant I could get the more G1-style ones in the normal box.
They still look pretty cool and it's not enough for me to try to return them or sell/trade them back for something else, but even if the dark ones are supposed to be all exclusive-y I would have preferred the standard purple ones.
