I'm both happy and sad I don't do Celga. Well...my wallet is happy I don't do Celga. With all the stuff I used to collect, it would mean absolute death to my bank account. I miss out on a bunch of toys but it's always nice to see others with them.

I'm so stupid. I just gave a box full of assembled SD Gundam model kits to a friend who probably doesn't want them, just to clear space out of my tiny apartment. I'm sure someone more appreciative would've wanted them.

Anyway -- Nice first haul! I remember getting my first box. It held some of my most sought after and now cherished toys. This next one I have incoming is quite the doozy, too.

Good luck not taking more a plunge! \":wink:\"

Nice scores mikee! I'm about to finish paying for my remaining two invoices and ship my haul out as well. As one would expect i've already said goodbye to my wallet, but then again it was MIKEE who schooled me on Celga and he did warn me. When I think back to a month ago and how much money I'd have if I didn't do 10 Celga auctions...well let's just say it makes me want to cry.

Thanks everyone, and sorry Lixx for gettin u started with Celga lol... You've gotta post pics when your box arrives.

Yea I bet everyone's first box (even though different) shares the similar rush upon opening it up and smelling the new stuff fume. Kinda like an unforgettable childhood memory of opening up Christmas presents.

Btw those SD Gundams are diecast which was part of a larger super robot set released years ago. If I'm not mistaken, there were 24 pieces in total which means I've completed them now.

For those who haven't or borderline thinking of taking the Celga plunge, God have mercy on u're wallets but your reward will be more than fulfilling.

nice score. I'm always amazed by how small the rangeas is. It always seems so much bigger in my head.

I hope I score one soon and i look forward to using celga!

Cheers

Haha. Nice haul there. I've been tempted many times to take the Celga plunge but managed to avoid shaking the devils hand. When Ebay does that link up with YJA it'll be all moot tho :twisted:

Nice score! I'm a fan of SD gundams too. do you dig any of the Bandai SD action figures? If you haven't picked any of them up, I would recommend them!

are the banpresto ones vinyl?

These banpresto one SD figures are actually diecast metal with a bit of plastic. You can find them on YJA by searching with MS合金 and also 血合金. They're not expensive but it's an ass to hunt down since there are 24pieces in total.
