Sorry for the lack update on my blog for the past month. I have a lot of things to write but can’t get my self to actually write it. Lack of motivation I guess and it also does not help when work and school consume my time. My fellow friends managed to convince to play World of Warcraft again since bunch of us already plays so there goes my spare time. Currently, lvl 35 priest at Crushridge Realm so if you play on the same server, let me know ^^. Do you ever want to have more than 24 hours per day ? I personally want to have 48 hours / day. 8-9 for work and the rest is for something else ^^;;.
Anyways, enough with my rambling and here comes my latest loot.
Saber Lily 1/7 by GSC finally arrived after some delays in the past months, although, the delay was actually good for me since I had a lot expenses when I moved to a new place.
The box has interesting corners and I don’t see the point of making them flattened.

Checked my hobby search preorder and of course Fate got delayed…..again. I was expecting Nanoha would be delayed but I guess there are too many Fate fans out there so Alter can’t keep up with the pre-order.
The shipping cost for this Saber Lily is a friggin 5,400 yen. I realized it’s 1/7 but the shipping charge is unreasonable and I don’t see why Hobby Search felt the need put int a big box -_-;;. Gosh $50 just for the shipping alone and it’s more than half the price of Saber Lily. If you guys ordered from Hobby Search, please let me know what the shipping cost was >.> especially if you live in Canada.

Akismet hates me T_T.
I’m glad that the figurines are getting delayed, we have more time to save
@zenical: T.T sorry. I probably spend my $$ on something else instead of saving it XD.
Saku, my friend, it’s time you switch to HLJ.
Truth be told, and this is absolute truth, is that Hobby Search is over charging us for their shipping ever since they switched to the “shipping quote” system. You end up spending more, even with the discount and the loyalty points, when you buy from Hobby Search. They charged me 3,200 yen to ship Vita when the actual shipping cost was only 2,400 yen as printed on the EMS slip. Screw them, I’m not buying from them again.
I got my Lily from HLJ along with Allean and the EMS shipping cost was 4,000 yen. That’s 1,400 yen cheaper than what you paid with an extra figure! I’m from T.O. as well, so that’s just my two cents. Oh, it’s more like $60 for your shipping.
Tommy´s last blog ..GSC Saber Lily -Distant Avalon-
@Tommy: Thank you so much for the insight. It’s just exactly what I need to know. It’s little bit too late to change my preorders but will order from HLJ from now on.
I didn’t actually know that they charge more than what’s printed on the EMS slip. It’s such a BS how much they charge on EMS. I do realize it’s EMS but it’s too much.
Yep it’s $60 as you said -_-;;. I never got this annoyed with shipping fee.
