Now that I have no cash,something that I want appears

Thanks to the WF,I’ve got no money left now. I even have to go work as a salesman at Comex 2007 just to be able to pay for my WF loot.

Was browsing Yahoo Japan Auctions for the prices of the WF stuff,when I chanced upon this beauty(not a WF item), going at 42,000 yen. Including shipping, it will amount up to about 55,000 yen.Around S$700 for a 1/2.5 scaled figurine of Rei. Totally worth the money. After all,this product has been released for a very long time already,and is extremely difficult to look for,even in Japan. The last time I went to Akiba, I only managed to find the Asuka one.

After all,I can’t get the 1/1 Rei. The price is at a freaking 430,000 yen,excluding shipping. With shipping included, I guess it’ll rise to S$6000. If I had the cash,I would buy it. Meh…

Anyway, 1 paper down, 3 more papers to go… Before I am free for a month.

Shipping kills…

I’m seriously screwed. I ordered from Benny thinking that shipping was gonna be cheap,and who knew it was 1000 yen per figurine. After the external and internal shipping, some of the items i bought had prices which are totally insane.

I’m going to owe him an amount close to 1000 Singapore Dollars. And thats for only a few figurines and gashapons. I feel fucking stupid now. And what makes it worse is that I bought many things which were on impulse. I don’t even know what I can say now. I won’t order from overseas anymore. Dammit.
