Furu Anime Panikku

This is the second time I queued up so much in a single day. The last time I did it was for the Singapore Launch of World of Warcraft : The Burning Crusade at Suntec City.

Arrived at Sunshine Plaza at around 11am with my friend,only to find quite a crowd out there already. The members were already inside thinning their wallets. Some had already come out and were at the cafe next door eating/chatting. I managed to spot a few familiar faces and had some conversations.

After getting my queue number(no. 20),my friend and I had brunch at the Wanton Mee store. As soon as we finished eating,the sale for non-members started.

While in the queue awaiting to enter KKnM,some people saw that the Lucky Star and Haruhi Telephone cards were sold out and got a little disappointed. I was a little disappointed too,as the Shana and Hayate pencilboards were sold out by the time I got there. Thankfully,there were still Gurren Lagann pencilboards remainding. I also grabbed the last Darker than Black Handphone strap,together with a Saber Comiket exclusive Plushie. The handphone strap and the plushie were unexpected purchases,so I exceeded my budget by $40.

After getting my stuff,I hung around at KKnM,watching the Haruhi concert,which was repeatedly replayed on the screen,as well as interacted around with the others from #SGAnimebloggers.

Time passed quickly when one is having fun. Before I knew it,it was 2.45pm. 2.45pm was the magical time when everyone started on a purchasing spree.When KKnM announced that anything made of PVC was going at 50%,people in the shop all made a mad rush for the figurines. Before 3pm,there was nothing much left. Everything was almost swept clean,only with a few less popular figurines left behind. Good thing I managed to pick up a figurine,at only $33.50.

There was this Caucasian who bought 4 figurines at one go! Insane I tell you!

Anyway,the sale only lasted 15 minutes. It was amazing how the figurines left KKnM so swiftly. I left the area with my friends at around 3pm,and was heading towards the Japanese Primary School in Changi for the Natsumatsuri in the evening.

I will cover the Natsumatsuri in my next post.

As for today,the damage done to my wallet at KKnM was $115.50.

And here’s the phat loot for today:
