The pre-order window for Evening Call's sorceress is pretty short, ending in 2 days. It turn out pretty nice though.
Completely off topic. Just got my hands on the iphone 5 64GB(early morning delivery), what's up with the hype anyway?

Yeah, I was clenching my teeth after looking at his (other account's) posting history and seeing that it was a poorly veiled spam account, though likely with an actual person behind it and not a bot. Even so, there wasn't really anything I could do about it; as much as it hurts to say, bootleg dakimakura covers just aren't looked down upon in the community the way that something like bootleg figures are. The username bit, on the other hand, definitely irked me more than the bootleg advertising did. I wonder if the reasoning was more to piss me off (since it was fairly obvious I was the one that banned the other account) or because he hoped people might mistake them for me (even though my audience was fairly small.)
It might be worth it putting in a support ticket, but I didn't have much luck with my last one. D:
Getting popular isn't a good thing.:/

Nice batch of goodies, regardless. Doesn't it suck when you think about how much goddamn time and money goes into all of this? LOL ;) Well, I went from not having tracking information from my SMJ order that I submitted last Sunday to receiving my tracking number on Friday afternoon. To my surprise, I checked this morning and apparently the package is apparently out for delivery. :D
Won't be nearly as awesome as some of these insane hauls you guys bring in, but I got bills to pay and a shit paying job (for the time being).
Also, I feel like the biggest idiot ever. I fucking missed out on this cover...AGAIN!

Seriously, I missed it by one goddamn day. Grrrrrr. ( '>___<)
For the hell of it I placed a special order for the cover through SMJ, yesterday. I doubt it will go through, but whatever. It's not like I have the money to spend on it anyhow.
I think all of us have bills to pay, just that some of us lack self-control, that's all. orz

The Vita arguably isn't worth the cost right now when you look at the PSP library and the emulation possibilities, and the PSP will only get more expensive now that they're winding down production. That said, there are some big games planned for Vita, plenty of unrealised potential as far as modding goes, and the price will be decent coming up to Christmas what with the sales figures and 3DS dominance.
I was just browsing and doing more reading on psp and ps vita. I've found that if you download most of your games on psn then you can play it on ps vita since it's backwards compatible with the psp - as long as its purchased/downloaded on psn.
As for Emulation I don't know much about it so I can't really say anything. But here's my question.
If I'm interested in playing games both release on western soil and games that never came out of japan Will psp still be good or vita?
I'm really interested in playing lots of japanese games like Visual Novels and such, so I really want to buy one that is good for this purpose. Just 2 example of many is the Ore no ImÅto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai and Amagami SS.
The thing is that both the PSP and Vita are region free, except for DLCs of course.
The PSP would be a cheaper alternative and it has a much more expansive library of games compared to the vita with tons of console ports and very few vita exclusive games. So far the only thing helping Vita sales is Miku.
If you want to play visual novels, you can stick with a cheap PSP. A Vita should be considered if you want that slightly larger screen size.
While I have both, I have to say the Vita library is pretty sad, I've played less then 5 games since it's launch in Japan, Ragnarok Odyssey, Miku, Dream C club and UMVC3. Pretty sad.

But still no tracking info. :(
Dood, I suggest you drop Nick a mail ASAP. There are times where you can settle things by contacting them. I knew I did on several occasions including my current situation. They finally shipped my Miku Vita but holy shit at the shipping cost, 135USD for a single vita, really?

I have no idea what's wrong with them, they refuse to ship my Vita via EMS nor Fedex, because there should not be an issue with fedex.Ah, probably a battery issue, then?
Except, fedex is able to ship items with lithium batteries.

Man, really hope I get my SMJ order this weekend. Requested the shipment last Saturday (with the stipulation that they ship after an item arrives - I figured this would give them a heads up, and the item arrived Monday.) It's still in the Processing stage. :(Can't beat mine, I got rejected.
The dream C HOP cover did indeed have a re release in 2WT, however it's been more then half a year ago. I've seen this cover on Mandarake on3 occasions but withheld because it seem they only had the smooth knit, this time around didn't prove to be the 2WT version either.>_>

Ah, had just assumed it was an original character and wasn't from an existing series; Sorcerous is a pretty generic name, after all. I'm still not entirely sure where she's from, but I'd guess it's a game and that's her class. I do remember one game some time ago that had a really unique fantasy art style with tons of beefy women. Either way, she probably won't be tan then because they usually try to stick somewhat close to the original character design. I'd still love it if she were, myself. She's from Dragon's Crown.She looks nicer then the actual game art(IMO)

Anyway, some new stuff arrived and I had some additional time so I took some casual pics.
what's with the band aid.>_>
Would had prefer her in her front dress but her pose is awesome, so I can live with it.
Been trying to find the 2WT version of this cover, if anybody see it, give me a heads up,thanks!

I think I may end up importing this. Does anybody know if it's any good?I bought the arcade stick version and the limited edition. From what I notice, most characters are unable to string your usual Light, normal and heavy attacks > to a special or splash arts. In fact most of the time combos will end if you hit with a heavy attack, the only way to continue is to use assists. There are some exceptions like Tamaki who can string basic 3 hit combos into her iron claw. There are some characters like Touka that cannot string her light to medium attacks.>_<.
Konomi's still a criminal though.
those combos are pretty unfair to other players.
Yah, Boss Ma-ryan is cheap as hell though. Too bad doesn't work that well when we use her boss version though.

Got the remainder of my C82 stuff along with some of my orders from AmiAmi and Black and White.
The oshiki tapestry I paid so much for.>_> At least it's made of a good materuial, but seriously I hate taps that don't come with strings.

Not that it's any of of my business, but what are you going to do with 4 Miku Vita systems? ( '0_o)
You could queue them all up and have a personal Vocaloid pseudo-symphony. Haha. ;)
Regardless, nice hauls, everyone. Can't wait to get some of my goods.
Just got the Urushihara C82 book/cover set in yesterday. The censoring isn't that bad at all. I am actually very pleased with the cover. Having some of the other Urushihara covers, I was expecting much worse.
I'm using one of them. I'm also using another 2 black vitas as well(For a US,JP and AS account), so the other remaining miku vitas is really just for collection since these are rare and high in demand.
As for the Ura cover, I thought it was bad because because it was my 2nd cover from his pool of works. And like I said, my Tomoe cover has no mosiac.

Because in my experience with SMJ, there's only one other person crazy enough to bid 35k+ on a cover, and that would be me. :P Given that I saw two close with the SMJ account at around the same time, it was a giveaway given your tendency to buy two at a time.
The Miku was actually closing about where I expected. You have to remember that we didn't get in on the first batch of Miku; she was originally sold at Comiket and we purchased ours from the My Wife/other event batch. The first Comiket batch had a few that sold at really good prices (the best was 24k buyout, but my limit was still tied up >.<) but the trend quickly spiraled upward. When there were still a good number left, they were selling in the 38-40k range. With the last 5 or so, things got even crazier and they were selling in the 45-50k range.
You say "again" when you mention the Miku Vitas, so that would be a total of 4? Combined with the three Miku covers, I'd be paying that off for 2-3 months. T_T
Yah, I have 2 Asian sets , and I got 2 Japanese 3G sets as well. One from playasia and another from SMJ. Best part I bought those miku covers without knowing how they look like, I just based it on one of my fav circles to decide.
