2008 is coming to an end. I always complain that I am poor thanks to new loots. In addition, with a new game console to my family, expenditure will definitely go up. I guess I am one of those people who has to juggle between PS3 gaming and figurines. Wait did I mention that I support Nana Mizuki too?>< Gundam kits are lagging on one end, so I don’t think I will be purchasing any new ones until I see any Gundam 00 MG kit out. Lol. 00 Gundam perhaps? XD

Current Figurines and Gundams stash:

My figurines do look little. Probably because I have the habit of selling away figurines that are SAF(suddenly acquired figurines) or more commonly known as impulse buys to me ><.  Gundam kits on the other hand, I do not sell them, well I will definitely make a loss since stores in Singapore do have discounts here and there that makes the kits cheap during some point. And Singaporeans love to bargain.. So.. My saying is that: Just fix my Gundams! XD.

And since I am horrible at remembering the stuff I bought in 2008 (local expenditure – I don’t keep tabs!) this post will feature my “so-called” expenditure. It will be based more on my online purchases rather than local purchases (well I will try to remember my local expenditure as and when)

I purchase namely from these few various sites as and when: Hobby Search, CDJapan, Play-Asia, Amazon Japan, Animaxis.

For local shops purchases: KKnM(I am a regular there XD), Latendo, Toysntoy

And after entering the amount for 2hours and more, I finally managed to get a graph to show you.. The amount is based in Yen FYI.

Despite buying a lot from CDJapan this December, I expected the Nana Blu-ray and DVDs to cost the most out of my entire experiences of buying online. But turns out that May Expenditure for Hobby Search is Number 1. Perhaps I have the Shana Windbreaker I bought back then to thank? XD

Gundam expenditure is not counted for.. Because I can’t remember how much I bought them for orz.

And I remember how much my figurines bought from shops cost (WOW I AM A GENIUS XD)
Figurines bought locally: 577 SGD
Figurine bought from Ebay: 125 SGD (Lucky Star meets Fate/Stay Night Nendoroid!XD)

Number of figurines: 19
Number of gundams: 18
Number of CDs/Albums: 44
Number of Live Concerts: 5

Most Expensive Figurine: 1/7 Alter Yagami Hayate (Thanks KKnM! for the preorder ^^)
Most Economical Figurine: Revoltech Ayanami Rei Damaged Version (27 SGD only! LOL)
Most Fave Figurine: 1/8 Alter Fate Testarossa
Most NOT-WORTH-IT-figurine: Shana Nendoroid (Despite me preordering it at XXX local shop, it feels like a buy-in-store price to me. Never ever going back there again)

Most Expenditure is related to: Nanoha

Most Expensive CD/Album/Live Concert: Nana Mizuki LIVE FIGHTER 2008 Blu-ray
Most Economical CD/Album/Live Concert: UVERworld Shaka Beach – Laka Laka La (Bought for only 7.42 USD!)
Most Fave CD/Album/Live Concert: Nana Mizuki LIVE FIGHTER 2008 Blu-ray
Most NOT-WORTH-IT-CD/Album/Live Concert: None. All are worth it!

Most Expensive Gundam: 1/60 Trans-Arm Gundam Exia (87.95 SGD)
Most Economical Gundam: SD Gundams? (I have a couple of them all bought roughly the same price 10plus SGD)
Most Fave Gundam: 1/100 MG Strike Freedom (Because I love Kira Yamato…^_^)
Most NOT-WORTH-IT-Gundam:1/144 HG Throne Meisters (which I bought this year. I have not fixed them at all because 2 of them died in Season 1. Kinda makes me bored to fix their Gundam since they’re dead… >_>LOL)

Total Hobby Search Expenditure(Figurines/Merchandises): 95, 358yen
Total CDJapan Expenditure: 87, 289 yen

So by using a rough estimation of the online purchases and local purchases,
Total Figurine/Merchandises Expenditure: 3200 SGD (2222.15 USD)
Total CDs-related Expenditure: 1810 SGD (1256.90 USD)

My expenditure would not be so scary if abao did not poison me with Nana.. I love both YUI and Nana and having said that, if I did not love Nana now, I bet my expenditure wouldn’t be so high, and yeah I would not have bought a PS3 because of LIVE FIGHTER Blu-ray that came out last week XD.

Well what is to come in 2009, I have no idea. I expect myself to spend lesser on figurines and concentrate more of my resources for Nana. As for the gaming side of zenical, I do not have any games I want – until March 2009(which is a good thing!) and alas, hopefully the games I have will keep me company until March..

And yes I completed this post before midnight(2009). Look out for the next post to wrap up 2008 (anime) which I expect to start on soon.. Lols.

Happy New Year to all readers!! XD
