Sorry for the lack of posting over the weekend. I really hurt my hip flailing around at CGP on Saturday so I was mainly hobbling around doing laundry, and watching dramas.
Anyway, just a quick update - I did a box opening for the three new puchis :D
Thanks for the comments on my photos. They were a lot of fun to take. I'll get cracking on Figure Maniacs.com this week!

Since you mentioned you are getting a full box, I'd recommend to just get the full box next time. Each box pretty much guarantees a full set, more often than not you get the secret, plus one or two duplicates. =)

I might wait on the full box since I just got an email from the bookstore which does my special orders saying that Amazon Japan shipped my order so it's ready for collection. My list isn't too big, but I also want to send a box home plus a couple of packages. I'm trying to pace myself :D
@NeverGG Sorry to hear about your hip. I know what that's like with my back and such once in a while. Such nice new cuties you have. LOL You sure sounded excited when you were opening them. LOL

btw I want to go to the Volks store this weekend!
I'm such a dork when it comes to opening blind-boxed stuff. My life is clearly a rollercoaster of excitement :S
Let's go there. I'd like to check out the store plus a couple of the other places mentioned in that K-blog I found. I'll translate the locations tonight. I'll check the opening hours today too.

Mine, too! LOL
Awesome! I'm making my list as I type! LOL I have the address, I just don't know which subway station yet. It's near the "art college" apparently, wherever that is.

I've got maps (and all the opening hours) for Volks plus the 3 comic/merch shops (Comic World, Book Saetong and Toon K.) I'd like to check out as well. Oh, and the 2 locations in Konkuk by my house (Hobby Plaza and Comic Gallery) which I'll probably pop into on Friday if I don't come back from my shopping trip too late.
I'll bring along a couple of the girls for some photos too :D I think if I get Kirino ( http://www.goodsmile.info/product/en/3012/Nendoroid Kirino Kousaka.html ) she'd really suit a shoot in Hongdae pretending to browse the free market. It'll be super busy, but it'd make a great setting provided we can get people not to stomp on her!
I forgot to add this. The photos suck, but I just wasn't trying lol.

Sounds good. You sure have more time than I do to find all this info! LOL Oh, yeah, you get paid this week, too. Don't go "mental"! LOL
Is Volks near Hongdae? If it is, I can get there even faster than normal as Hongik University station is even closer than Seoul Main Station for me on the express train.
Yeah, I saw those already on figure.fm on Monday. Nice set-up.
Yep, all the places we want to visit are around Hongdae University Station subway stop. We should meet at Exit 8 since exits 8/9 are the area of the different shops :D The time is up to you, but the free market begins at around 12ish and if the weather is decent I'd prefer to do photos earlier than later on.

I'll be there at 12 noon!
Okay, see you there! Hopefully I can bring Kirino if I get her plus a couple of the puchis :D I decided to only take 300,000 in cash to Kukje so I don't go too mental. This will cover all my essential purchases plus allow me to use the 5% discount to buy a few puchis.
I've revised the list to;
1. Sebastian nendoroid. 2. Yui figma. 3. Dead Master figma. 4. Kirino nendoroid. 5. Kamen Rider W MG Figurerise Cyclone/Joker or Luna/Trigger. 6. K-On sweets mascot. 7. Nyanpire gashapons from any change I have left over.
The rest can wait for now :D Since I have to get my book order, and I'd like to see what Volks has before commiting to any other purchases. Oh and if you don't mind I'd like to hop a couple of stops to Shinchon to check out Book Off (I like buying cds from there mainly.)
I also forgot to mention that Mikatan posted the scuffed paint repair blog post. I'm going to check out the prices of paints at HS and possibly try to repair Luka's tiny scuff on her hair using this method :D
I checked out the two places in Konkuk tonight. The Hobby Plada is purely Gundams, so it's of no interest to me, and the Comic Gallery is mainly just manga, but they also had a Kuroshitsuji cushion and a couple of Korean art books I want :D

Seems there are a lot more Japanese related "toy" shops here in Korea than we first thought there were!
