Ah, Gengas and Dougas and cels and that good, good stuff. That takes me back. Did I already tell everyone about the time I lost my mind and went cel crazy and spunked over £600 on a Princess Mononoke cel from Mandarke auctions? It was really, really pretty, but hot damn I was NUTS. I couldn't really afford it, but I hot-hotheadedly won a heated bidding war for it. I think it was one of the most expensive Mononoke cels Mandarake had ever sold. I didn't really have all the £s and had to ask Mandarake to give me an extra few weeks while I sold my body on curb corners, and they very kindly obliged. I sold it maybe 4 years ago for a couple hundred quid on ebay, but I didn't really try that hard to be honest and didn't wanna fleece some poor git like I fleeced meself. Still, those were better (but still bad) days hey, spending insane money on stuff like that. I can't even afford a cup of artisanal coffee these days :(

I think I still have a nice Vash cel somewhere. I'll try and dig it out and take a pic and post it here sometime.

I think your laptop looks well cool Ayase! I'm pretty used to typing on screens as well now, I type most of streams of consciousness and crappy poetry on my iphone 4, and I like that star-trek vibe, I could pretend to be Data, God I used to love Data when I was a kid, and that guy with the visor. I'm not sure which one was cooler.

I do like tactile touch as well, but computer key boards don't cut the mustard for me, I need a typewriter, that is what I really need.
 
Re ordered Digimon Tri 2 and Your name on Amazon this time locked a DB figure from Amazon warehouse in there, they say very good condition but the price is half of what the other listings are hmm. We'll see.
 
Received a couple more funds so here's what I bought this week:

PlayStation Network £25 Card - £23.49
Basically I decided it's not a good thing to use your actual card or PayPal when it comes to PSN payments so I made use of CD Keys (thanks to Buzz for pointing it out last year) and saved a bit of cash getting these pre-paid cards instead.

I mainly spend these on Rock Band because I like the game a lot, so here's the songs that I bought:

Rock Band 4 Spotlight Pass - £10.99
This pack contains 8 brand new songs to the game with one appearing each week. Currently there are 4 available so there's another 4 not available until the next four Thursdays.
Avenged Sevenfold - "God Damn"
Garbage - "Stupid Girl"
Ted Nugent - "Stranglehold"
Vanilla Ice - "Ice Ice Baby"

Off the Charts Pack 1 - £7.39
This pack came out early into the Rock Band 4 DLC line-up and it had a cool selection of indie rock bands.
Beck - "Dreams"
BØRNS - "Electric Love"
Catfish And The Bottlemen - "Cocoon"
Cold War Kids - "First"
X Ambassadors - "Renegades"

Singles - £1.69 each
These two I also wanted to own for the music library.
Catfish And The Bottlemen - "Postpone"
The Temper Trap - "Alive"

Humble Bundle: Hunie Sakura - $10.00
A friend of mine kept pestering me to grab this pack and I decided that I may as well since it's £7.69. This contains a bunch of Western-made visual novels and the popular puzzle game.

well I haven't paid for it yet, but the person I bought Little Witch Academia Volume 2 from has emailed me asking if I'm interested in Volume 6 for the same price, and I've told him I am.

Hes sent me pictures, and will send me a paypal invoice for volume 6 on Friday :3

Bit weird to own 2, and 6 out of the release sets so far.
 
Another shopping spree in town, first up HMV for some more Ghibli. I had to skip Ponyo and Arrietty as neither of them had the slipcase. Ponyo does on their website which has the same 2 for £25, but Arrietty doesn't (same on Amazon!)

Also in HMV I brought this for £2 cheaper than it should have been as it had the wrong sticker on it!

Spotted these in Waterstones for same price as Amazon (wasn't any in Forbidden Planet), all I have to do now is buy Vol 1 and 2 before I can read them! They said they would be in, in about a week, along with 5, but they don't do the rest, but can order for me.

Then I popped into the oriental shop I found last time, and got lucky with the next Neon Genesis Evangelion lucky dip box. 2 to go, but obviously increased chance of a duplicate.

I missed out on the HMV exclusive box of Ghost in the Shell, so went to Sainsburys (were I have staff discount) and they had 2 for £25 on certain titles. Luckily there were 2 in the deal that I haven't brought yet.

I think Arrietty technically didn't come with one I believe and if it did it had the wrong number on it. I simply went for the Blu-ray only set as Nausicaa also doesn't have a slipcover. I know Ponyo's slipcover might be OOP and I believe Tales from Earthsea and Wind Rises are next on that issue.

Yeah. Had another search of Amazon and there is a CE with slipcase, but only used copies. MusicMagpie shows a new copy with slipcase on eBay (I've just messaged them to see if the picture is correct). Both are numbered 6 in the pictures, but like you say that's wrong, looking at my collection that's Laputas number.

Hopefully the picture on HMVs site is correct, Amazon also shows a slipcase on Ponyo. I have the other 2 already.
Just got 4 to go now of the actual Ghibli films (might have to pair Ponyo with Cagliostro if I have to buy Arrietty separately), the 2 I skipped and the last 2 Kaguya and Marnie.
