Poor Again, Thanks to Magazines from Amazon JP

Oh yeah I spent again! This time on magazines from Amazon Japan, once more.. My main purpose was to get Seiyuu Animedia after reading gillsa’s post. Anyway the local Kinokuniya store should be stocking up on the magazine soon but because exams are around the corner, my prediction is that the magazine would only arrive when my exams start.

Poor Again, Thanks to Magazines from Amazon JP

Bought Megami November, Newtype November, Hobby Japan November and Seiyuu Animedia November. Optic, aren’t you glad that I bought Megami? XDXD. It’s also my first time buying Hobby Japan. Anyway I always wondered what’s inside - Despite my friends telling me that scans can be found on the net, what’s to compare when you can have the actual magazine in your hand, compared to online images scans? ^^.

I’ll be doing a review of Newtype, Hobby Japan and Seiyuu Animedia once I find the time to. For Megami, check out my Optic’s post - He’s a regular buyer of Megami.

This ends my October loot. I actually have 2 Figmas due this month, and should be getting Early November, but there is a delay for the release date, so yeah. I won’t have any loots this month. Oh wait, I remembered I have Ayanami Rei by Alter this month! She’s out on October 22th. I preordered her from the local store, so I won’t be expecting the figurine to expect so swiftly, since the shipment is kinda slow. Expecting a November arrival, along with my 1/7 Yagami Hayate. ^^

I still have to save for AFA08 -_-.

Also if you’re wondering how the heck I got my magazines from Amazon JP. Am I able to read the site? No. I use the english translation which provides the basics for ordering. You also need to know what you’re buying. The magazine titles are in Japanese(some of them) so you need to know what’s the magazine called in order to “search” through Amazon JP. Hope that helps :P. Amazon JP is great for buying back issues! Recommended ^^

    Ahh finally someone that thinks that the real thing in your hand is better than the digital counterpart *twothumbsup*
    Arent the Shipping Fees ridiculous?Atleast i heard that it costs around 40 bucks

  • zenical (Author) said:

    @J.D: of course XD

    @ blissmo: Why 5 bucks only O_O

    @ Optic: Uh because i wanted seiyuu animedia, and since it was more worth getting “more” magazines, megami just came in. Still proud of me? XD

    @ char: Why no kino?! Or you can resort to online buying. lol.

    @ blowfish: OF COURSE THE REAL THING IS BETTER!!!! Anyway shipping wise, yeah it was around 3100 yen for the mags.. but i have exams, hm so forking out a little extra is worth it :D well anyone singapore did have stocks of megami, hobby japan, etc, but I think they arrived different timings, and seiyuu animedia hasn’t reach shores yet. So it was a good chance to just hoot everything!

    @zenical
    If my post was able to convince at least 1 person to buy it, then that post served it’s purpose. ^^
    Very proud indeed but ur wallet is not proud that’s for sure. lol

    zenical:
    wow, what a nice blog of yours! compares to my tiny little blog….lol.

    haha, anyways, I bought my seiyuu animedia from Kinokuniya since the postal fee of amazon JP is extremely terrifying…lol
    I usually order them ahead of time so that they can get it shipped faster, and they usually arrive one week after it was released, which is pretty fast! I love their service, XDD

    oh, by the way, a msg for everyone who likes scans instead of the real thing:

    PLZ BUY THE REAL THING if you really like the artists/anime/seiyuu, lol. It is worth the money!!!
