[Gemsy-chan]

Four pretty dresses! Two from Snag Tights and two from Lolita Inside!

I liked the new dresses on snag but after spending £300 on glasses I have to pass.

I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and got some manga/comics from Travelling Man and Forbidden Planet! There is a new Samura manga out this month that I hadn’t heard about, Desperate March for Love looked cute and Seek and Destroy Volume 2.

The comics are a collection of WW2 Flash Gordon newspaper strips and a YA graphic novel about Big Barda from Jack Kirby’s classic Fourth World epic. So I was happy to get them both (on sale)

Getting a different one in place of the Laurel Tree Blue w Pink Flowers, as that was sadly out of stock, they were really great about it though, and included all the accessories and a free petticoat and bracelet

I also got some cheap cute clothes and a necklace from Shein, the reason I placed the order in the first place though was to get these adorable Sanrio speakers/nightlights! I sleep with the lights on anyway, but I've been wanting some decent speakers to hook up to my laptop for ages and these just look so cute and have mini-light shows!

A couple of new figures:
Kikoru Shinomiya from Kaiju No. 8

Found one on ebay at about £40 cheaper and free shipping from the US! Company seemed reputable enough, I'll find out soon enough!

Akane Kurokawa as Princess Saya (Tokyo Blade) from Oshi no Ko s2

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Lots more pretty bras from Shein, some practical bits that already arrived yesterday the same day as I ordered them, and The Colors Within CE!

[RadFemHedonist]

Some stuff that I've already posted about in the received thread, plus a phone case for my new phone and Cardcaptor Sakura Collector's Edition Volume 1 Hardback, I loved the anime so very excited to properly read the manga in a beautiful edition like this!!

A switch from BT 1000 /100 to IDNet 1800/120
£70/M which is exactly what I'm currently paying BT, but I don't have to rely on crappy ISP standard hardware as I'm being sent a TP-Link HB610 router

 

[RadFemHedonist]

More cute Halloween tat! The ghosts are all friends and having a party

First you take the planet Earth round and blue and green,
And floating over Tokyo you drop a giant bean,
Put another one in Sichuan China, What a sheen,
Taking off from Dubai to Hawaii at Mach 20 leave contours as you fly,
Double back across the southern hemisphere over the Philippines once again to old Dubai,
And then back to Hawaii drawing lines of latitude every 25 degrees along the way,
And there you have it,
Koro Se-ensei

I got this from a local shop in Brighton, I haven't opened it (yet?) but I'm rly happy to have a Koro-sensei figure as I absolutely love Assassination Classroom (I'm actually rewatching it with a fren atm!)

 

[Vincentdante]

Pre-ordered Made in Abyss season 2 CE

 

[Lucky_Deity]

Ordered from  Amazon.

• Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! (Switch)

This is the only main series PKMN game I've never played, I don't know why it's taken so long for me to pick it up.

Well, this has been quite the long ordeal for me in purchasing full-graphic anime shirts from Temu, but I finally got my ordering all straightened out. I first made an order of six 3XL shirts because that was the largest size I found on Temu at the time. I normally wear a USA-size 4XL shirt, but a 3XL shirt will fit me, just slightly snug. Well, these Temu shirts turned out to be way too small - as I suspected the Chinese sizes were about 2-3 sizes smaller than shirt sizes in the US. So I ended up sending all 6 shirts back.

I then found out Temu has a Big and Tall section, and you just need to search on either "Big and Tall" or "Plus size" to find them. So I placed a second order of 7 shirts - five 6XL shirts and two 5XL shirts, because those two weren't available in 6XL. I just received those shirts a week ago; the 6XL shirts fit perfectly and are very comfortable, but the 5XL shirts were a bit too snug, so I just returned those two today.

Finally, I ordered 8 more shirts in 6XL size this evening, so once they arrive I will have a total of 13(!) anime shirts to wear, lol! This entire lot only cost me a little over £5 per shirt! I was able to find three of the original six 3XL shirts I ordered in a 6XL size, but haven't seen any of the other three offered in Big and Tall sizes as of yet. So, below are the 13 anime shirts I ordered.

My office does a "Hawaiian Shirt Fridays" thing, so I plan to wear one of these shirts each Friday (over top of my regular work shirt so I can take it of if necessary) as a loose interpretation of a Hawaiian shirt, haha!

Anyway, I blame this buying spree all on @RadeFmHedonist, after I saw her post an image of the purple kimomo girl shirt in the first image below that she had purchased for herself a couple months ago.

And the remaining three shirts...

Glad the 6XL ones fit well and you're enjoying them!

I wore the "cute bare back girl" shirt in the second row of photos above to work on Friday for their Hawaiian Shirt Friday, telling them that it's close to being a Hawaiian shirt, it just came from a little further west of Hawaii! My co-workers seemed to like the shirt, but I did get a little ribbing about an old man in his sixties wearing anime girl shirts, lol. I told them not to worry, I had another dozen of these shirts to wear to work on a rotating basis, so get used to them!

 

[demonix]

A CeX haul with a DSi XL, Pokemon Shining Pearl and Story of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town.

I also found out that the BD drive in my PS4 Pro is becoming problematic as I have to put discs in a few times for it to actually read them properly.

It looks like there'll be a PS5 slim purchase in my future (along with a few extra BD drive modules in case of failure)
