Found the pre-orders for these while shopping around my usual haunts recently…

Feels pretty good, but the price tag of 15,000 yen make it kinda difficult to collect them all… Damn pokemon syndrome!!!

More details and close-up shots available on the official site:

Hmmm, I was under the impression the crystal inside actually filled up the entire cage… oh well.

 

Any bets that there will be a grief seed version too after all these… XD

Well, as the title suggests, Wonder Fest is coming again this Sunday(24/07/2011).

Time to get the catalog out and plan how to go about attacking the event XD

Some highlights from the new or exclusive releases that might interest most of you out there:

Yup, you saw correctly. There will be machines there for you to attempt to catch these figures.

Only 500 pieces of each type available!

Some interesting things they have available there… XD

And my poison… they just had to throw in the bathroom poster freebie… T_T

Another exclusive from Kotobukiya this time.

Movic getting in on the action, with a special edition(suntan version?!) of a cute Azusa figure…

Wrong Azusa or I could end up getting again XD

Only a gray scale model, but this loli version of Fate looks like it will sell out fast again.

EVA-Mk 06?!

The ARX-8 at the bottom looks spectacular as well!

Figmas mostly for Good Smile Company this season.

Madoka also plays an important part too. Best part about GSC is that there will definitely be a mail order open later so fans don’t have to be worried about not being able to attend Wonder Fest… XD

Lawson’s is getting more otaku-friendly recently.

Why? Just check out the latest stuff available via mail order in their latest catalog:

Producer-san, it’s Im@s, Idolmaster!! XD

Some more K-on stuff…

Fans for the really hot summer this year Xp

For the Transformers fans, an alternate colour version of Optimus Prime with a movie ticket?!

Before you shout for joy, check out the price… more like a free ticket with your toy… XD

In comparison, this ticket seems so much more reasonable… XD

The occasional Lawson exclusive! With a Loppi(automated order) machine included with this figure of Mari…

and a Lawson’s shopping basket as well… LOL

Apparel collaboration with other makers. Glasses frames and t-shirts… t-shirts seems a bit ex though… Xp

Idolm@ster goods, some for live concerts.

Part 2…

Last page of Idolm@aster stuff… looks like a death trap for Stanley this issue, isn’t it… Xp

(*Please click on the pics above for bigger photos. ^_^b)

Yes, it’s here!

Included in the previous volume of the Negima manga was a special offer to get this pre-ticket to catch the movie in Japan.

After sending in the required forms, Kodansha will send you this package in the mail:

My ultimate aim was the card on the right… XD

The pre-ticket is located on the left, but I have this funny feeling I will not be using it… too pretty…!! T_T

The last question on everyone’s mind is probably the same… if this is vol.1, wouldn’t there be a vol.2?! XD

 

 

Trailer:

 

 

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, given that even Macross Frontier got a CR(Pachinko) version a couple of months back.

More details on the official site for Megami-sama:

What surprises me is the amazing amount of work on the site!

 

The last question is, when are you coming over to enjoy this, Wellson?? XD

 

Spent a whole night looking for different versions of the famous Toho song:

Bad Apple!! on Youtube as I was hooked on the melody… Xp

Here are a few versions I found really good.

 

The original

 

The combined PV version, just in case you were wondering which silhouette was which character… XD

 

And the pretty good 8 bit version… the version I like with PV!!

 

Do let me know if there are any versions you guys prefer other than these ^_^b
