>百合小説コレクション wiz 2 I didn't buy the first one because you can never trust these anthologies so I'll avoid this one too- >宮田愛萌 Goddamit, I want to read it.
>>4531863 >モブヘブン Author doesn't appear to have any yuri cred but it has a few scenes with a level of closeness that would not unusual in non-yuri work so it is hard to say one way or the other. Looks like it will be a comfy subtext series at a minimum at least.
https://www.amiami.jp/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-198560 Preorders are up. Looks great and 24,250 yen is less than I expected although its still expensive since the shipping will be painful. Is it a good idea to preorder this now or is it safe to wait? I don't really want to drop that much money right now if it isn't shipping until 2027.
>>4531863 >宮田愛萌 https://twitter.com/lily_novel/status/2026600443078651912 Into the trash it goes. I thought she was better than this. New reminder to never buy yuri novel anthologies blindly.
>>4534494 Do you mean if I did own all the previous volumes? I've done it on the rare occasion when it only meant re-buying a 2-3 volumes and the bonus was nice, but I skip it when it is a long series. If I didn't own the series at all yet then of course I'd buy the whole series at once and get the bonus.
>>4534494 I think I've actually done that before. Or I at least waited until a special volume bundle was available when I got into a series late enough to miss early volumes.
>>4535686 Prism garden is in person only so for the time being this is all exclusive to people who get tickets and go to the event. No way to know if they'll sell them later on at melon but it is unlikely.
>>4535976 Japan just really likes pop up shops and exclusive event items. I don't know why it happens this way but it means having to buy everything secondhand.
I'm late to the party, so pic related has been exceedingly hard/annoying to find anywhere that isn't from resellers/scalpers. Luckily, it seems they keep doing reprints because apparently, they do want money.
>>4537845 I just did a quick count and there are over 20 revealed and I want almost all of them. I guess I should be thankful they are preventing me from impulse buying over 44,000 yen on plastic.
https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=3341213 This is the first time a lottery's lowest level prize is the one I want the most. I wish they'd just sell a set of the whole yurirei cast like this so I wouldn't have a near-0 probability of getting the whole set without buying an insane number of tickets.
>>4538862 not sure how you'd determine the rarity, but i have all the english Galette books + booklet/postcards released so far, some booth merch from morinaga and hakamada including signed canvases, all the girls last tour nendos including the kettenkrad, and an Adashima poster signed by the cast. I also have the special edition bluray of 'a place further than the universe', and all the watamote plushies if you want to count those as yuri too
>>4538862 A bunch of signed and signed/illustrated books which are extremely difficult to enjoy since they don't display well and I don't want to ruin it by reading that copy. The illustrations on some of them are incredible but there's no good way to put that anywhere without risking damage. I have a few very low print run yuri items like framed art from an old yuri fair or kickstarter/campfire items. I think most yuri merch is generally rare in comparison to other things or it at least feels that way sometimes with how impossible it is to get some items after they sell out. The rarest yuri items I have are one of one hand drawn art shikishi which I was lucky enough to receive.
>>4539375 I thought so but I bought a single yuri book with buyee and the only shipping option they have is airmail at 6000 yen. It is a $10 book under 400 grams. What the fuck. I forward normally and only did this because there was no other easy way to buy from toranoana. Would have been cheaper buying from a scalper secondhand.
>>4527898 Update from last thread, but it turns out the high price really was because of the large amount of items on the order. $80 of it was the “entry-line charge after first 3 lines” fee, $20 combined for the PGA disclaimer fee and disbursement fee; and only about $20 for the actual tariffs. Absurd.
Sticking with Fedex for the time being now that it has DDP, hopefully my tariff exempt items stay properly exempt and they don't try to charge me for my manga. Is ECMS doing DDP too?
Also apparently buyee has raised their fee from 300 to 500, for those that use that proxy >>4539375 Looks like it for me.
Good thing the scans of the "boyish" anthology are already out so we can see that fortunately and unexpectedly there are no draw-a-boy-call-it-a-girl characters in it so we can buy it without any worry. Another good thing is that Amazon didn't block WataTabe's BD to be shipped abroad, unlike WataNare that remains unavaible for us poor bastards living outside of Japan. However now that it's complete I can finally make my bulk order using a proxy to get it, AyaHiro 2, Kanojo no kuchidzuke kansen suru libido and a couple of other stuff blocked by Amazon, maybe I'll throw inside a few doujinshi too but I'm worried about fees and shipping costs considering the current world situation. I've received an email by ZenMarket telling me they're increasing prices but fortunately only for auctions (for now).
the paper bonuses that come with manga (not postcards, but the thin slip of paper), are weird. i have no idea what to do with them so i just place them between the pages
It's out of any decency. They could also give you more than a 1% discount on future orders... I always hear people talking about the insane discounts amazon gives them while I've never got more than 1%.
>>4542395 I use art portfolio books to store all my extras because a lot of leaflets I get are sometimes bigger than the book. Helps keep them nice but it is impossible to sort them because I have too many now.
>>4542427 It is probably better for people who can get amazon jp credit cards since they give a lot more points back. Still that shipping is pure pain. I can't take the endless price hikes
>>4542474 >a lot of leaflets I get are sometimes bigger than the book for those little booklets, i just put them in the obi of a random kirara manga since theyre slightly bigger than standard sized manga
Why won't they simply sell acrylics? Or cards with these illustrations? No store exclusives, no omake of a volume, and on a store that will ship abroad. I would buy a ton.
>>4543093 I used to be more concerned about collecting a few extra copies of the books but the yen is so valueless now I don't even care. Shipping is the only thing that makes this difficult now.
>>4544026 I spent $400 this month on import shipping. Meanwhile ordering all the yuri I can get my hands on in a month costs me less than that. It is obscene.
WataTabe's BD is a very cheap edition, it doesn't have a real box but it's just a cardboard band with no bottom so shit falls through it, but it has the best extra I've seen in a lot of time: cards with the endcards illustrations and an extra manga chapter (though the story wasn't yuri-focused).
>>4544544 >i really like the prism garden acrylics so far me too and i cry everytime a new one gets revealed because they will not be up for sale online.
>>4547014 99% of the time, no. Most bookstore bonuses are one print run that sells out around the release date. If it is a popular series it may have a 2nd wave reprint immediately after it runs out, or if it gets an anime or something they may reprint the bonus for the entire series as a bulk purchase bonus.
>>4547020 Yeah some of the less popular items sit around for a long time. I've picked up months old bonus items like acrylics or special edition volumes on occasion and always feel like I was lucky to catch it in time. Sadly I still miss out on new releases occasionally since some things sell out a week or two before their release date. Just missed out on an acrylic I wanted this month but I buy too many anyway so I've stopped feeling the sting as much.
I haven't shipped any of my yuri since october but now is the time to send it home. I have about 45kg of merch, manga, doujinshi and so much yuri goodness coming this month that I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
>>4548700 Great. Of course this happens right after I shipped my yuri haul with DHL and they misclassified it as miscellaneous automobile parts and charged me a huge tariff that I have to now fight to get refunded.
>>4549219 Last time I ordered lrg was fatal twelve's collector edition which was overpriced for what it had in it, but I couldn't resist it. Now that I know lrg standard editions are easy to find for cheap later I don't know I will ever have the urge to overspend on extra trinkets unless they do something interesting. Stickers, a keychain and a pin are not it.
>>4549279 I have a bunch of art portfolios to collect most of them because they add up real quick You can page through it like a book and breathe in that unique plastic smell they have. It also keeps them clean since the plastic rubbing against itself creates turns them into a dust magnet. I have acrylic stands that fit them to put it on a desk for displaying it. Also just have a regular picture frame on my wall that was the right size to display whatever I want to put in it.
I haven't shipped anything I bought since last september and just started receiving it all this week. I received about 35kg of months old yuri this week and I have another 15kg coming next week. If something was missing I don't even think I'd notice since it is such a massive pile of yuri. I am slowly working my way to check everything I received and so far only one obi is ripped which is a miracle. If I was better at taking pictures I would do something to share the experience of the most massive yuri haul unboxing I've ever had.
>>4550084 I usually don't buy scales anymore because i've had terrible luck with them, and i'm always anxious that they're going to start leaning, but i might bite the bullet and buy this one since it's a two-person figure and i assume the position theyre in would remove the possibility of leaning
https://www.amiami.jp/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-198560 I really want to buy this but I'm worried how much damage the shipping and tariffs will cause me when it comes out.
>>4551144 What the fuck. They even have that annoying popup advertising a forwarding service on their website. Do they just not understand that no one outside of jp has a phone number they accept? Other stores like gamers and animate at least evolved with the times. Melon has all the best extras too. I had a ton of prize items I didn't ship yet. I'm going to throw up if I can't get back into my account now to send them.
>>4551155 Researching ways around this and the best choice looks like it will be to pay for a jp phone number 2FA service that charges you every time you use it. So every login will cost money now, which is extra annoying because melonbooks has a really short cookie timeout that signed me out all the time.
>>4551155 >>4551161 I always used a proxy to buy from melonbooks so I don't have to register myself, I don't even know if I'd be able to pay with my card and the site isn't even reachable from my country.
>>4551144 >>4551155 I'm glad I made an account before they started mandating phone numbers, but I also really wonder wtf they are thinking. If they strictly didn't allow filthy gaijin money that'd be one thing, but they heavily advertise all the cooperation with proxies and forwarders and introduced Rakuten pay to replace Visa/Mastercard. >>4551171 >and the site isn't even reachable from my country. Same, but at least that I know I can blame on the controlfreak gerontocracy running this country instead on melonbooks.
>>4551183 I made my account before phone numbers were required for activation as well, but now I can't login because it wants to verify my phone number. What can I do? My yuri is being held prisoner.
>>4551258 Why would they block me though, do they hate money like the anon above said? I wouldn't bother with japanese sites anyway, the payment is yet another problem, I just let proxies do their job for me, despite the high costs, the annoying thing is having to use a VPN to get the links. I will never understand why japanese are so against trading abroad and have to make everything more difficult. It's weird how cdJapan dropped BDs too, they don't have WataNare, they don't have AyaHiro 2 despide I bought the first series from them since Amazon blocked it for no reason.
>>4551338 >Why would they block me though, do they hate money like the anon above said? Its always hard to say, because a lot of the time the answer is apparently they actually do hate money. But in some cases its the country having some retarded legislation they don't want to deal with. DLsite is probably the only site I can think of that cleanly doesn't hate money and really is just getting fucked over. Melonbooks is probably 50:50.
I wished I had a solution to offer, but I'm just glad it doesn't affect me (yet). Though I fear one day I won't be able to get my yuri any other way than by picking it up physically in japan.
>>4551569 >retarded legislation But they won't sell directly to that country since they don't ship abroad. Even if there was some kind of problem with the destination country it would be deal with by the forwarder/proxy that's the one shipping there.
>>4551584 Thanks, grabbed what I could instantly, but I can't believe I woke up an hour late just to see the last one run out of stock. Luckily it is being reprinted next month again. After waiting for what feels like a decade to get these I'd say that isn't too bad though.
>>4551876 There are horror stories for ECMS but that isn't exclusive to them so its up to your local experience. I haven't had an issue with them yet. If it is saving you a lot and you don't mind the risk it may be worth it, otherwise fedex is probably what I would pick since it would be difficult or impossible to replace yuri merch that already went out of stock months ago. It also depends on whether ECMS offers insurance on the package for me. In both cases you will want DDP to prepay the tariff and avoid getting surprise bills later. I'm still waiting for fedex to bill me on entry fees for a box I got 2 weeks ago and I'm worried they'll mess it up and overcharge or forget to bill me and then ban my address for not paying.
If my reading comprehension and Google Translate can be trusted, the Prism Garden goods will be available online after all. Great news. https://x.com/i/status/2048674625761296763
>>4552274 Here it goes all my money. I don't know if my free VPN is strong enough to browse fast before everything goes out of stock. I hope they'll made a page with all the items listed so I don't have to go crazy looking for them. God please, don't make them go out of stock one minute after they start selling them.
I already felt bad that Prism Garden wasnt available online. To make it worse, they make it available but with melonbooks blocking my account. Why do they continue to tease me.
Is Amazon taking much more than normal to ship orders in the last months for anybody else? Evertything is in stock but last month it took 3 weeks to ship it and now this.
Speaking of ECMS, has anyone used it with the tariffs yet? How good are they at correctly marking stuff like Manga so they dont get tariffed? Its a good like 40% cheaper than the other shipping options for me
>>4552432 Whenever I used ECMS it was always DDP so any tariffs and fees get baked into the shipping cost. Check if your shipper is using DDP with it and you would be in the clear.
>>4553301 I doubt after a month of hyping in-person ticket sales that they would undermine this with a full mail order site to buy things, but it doesn't hurt to dream?
>>4553301 i got an american express card specifically for this and its looking like the online shop isnt happening. now i have a new credit that i dont even need or want
>>4552971 They finally made an option for email 2FA and activated it for my account. Only needed to send a message saying I couldn't sign in and asked for the email option then verified my account details to get it done. The yuri blockade has been lifted.
missing out on prism garden is like getting sick and missing out on your highschool graduation... i wanna go too... The prices secondary market prices i've seen online are already pretty bad
>>4554212 That's just because the already produced ones sold out. Only a few were probably made in advance. I see a listing for the made to order canvas that takes longer to ship out. Also who/what is this and why is all this relatively generic yuri merch interesting?
>>4554302 Stores sell tiny binders specifically made to hold them. I have a bunch of them and wouldn't really recommend it because the binders are flimsy and it doesn't seal them in so they fall out easily when looking through it. You could also get picture frames or art stands and put them on display on a wall or shelf.
>>4554302 i put them in my standard shikishi binder because i dont know where else to put them. Like the other poster said, a lot of the ones specifically designed for them are pretty cheaply made like the seria/mycolle ones (though the standard shikishi binders i've tried aren't much better).
I was thinking of getting a photo album for 5x7 photos for them since that's a pretty common size, but i'm not sure how well that'd work for them. Unrelated by why does are sideloading albums so common? they're so susceptible to sliding out, but apparently japs like them because whenever i find a toploading one theres always someone in the reviews complaining about it being toploaded
>>4554751 Same. Especially years ago when the yen was stronger since it was easy for something rare to be 10,000 yen or more. I used to be addicted to buying up everything I missed. Now I have a stockpile and my yuri frenzy has simmered down.
>>4554752 Trying to look around and remember what I paid for some of these. My Flowers acrylic stands may be the biggest price disparity from retail price to the price I paid since I think they were only 1200 yen each but I probably paid 10x to get them. I also bought the double sided Yuri is my Job acrylic for probably way more than it cost years ago. All of this isn't including shipping to import it.
>>4555172 They started blocking more IP based on country/geographically, which is separate from 2fa issues. You need a VPN to access the site if you live in a blocked country.
i want to buy all 7 of the small paintings from here https://online.aniplex.co.jp/itemByCxcdPx03.html but they're not different links, how can i ask buyee/fromjapan to buy all 7 instead of just 1?
>>4555270 Does anyone know which VPN actually works? I guess the only workaround is just grabbing the product URLs from their twitter/the author's twitter, hoping it's the correct one.
>60-130 usd for the adachi to shimamura acrylic panel It's so over >>4555381 I like them. Maybe the one having all of the girls is kinda weird but i like all of the solo ones
Prism Garden confirmed there will be a online sale of most items after the event is over. Considering it came alongside an apology for being sold out so much, I sure fucking hope they stock plenty.
>>4555535 i already have more acrylics than any reasonable person SHOULD have, but i keep buying them. If the prism garden stuff goes online, i'll probably end up with another dozen of them. i need to be more selective >>4555528 nta but i dont think theres anything wrong with it, especially if merch options are limited. i like to by two solo ones for series like GBC/bandori/revue/hbr/etc because they seemingly only release solo acrylics or large ass group dioramas despite the audience
>>4555684 >You are fueling the waifufag market so they'll keep making non-yuri merch even of yuri shows you know damn well thats not the conclusion they'd come to. "no one buys our merch so interest in the series must be low" is what they'll take away from it
>>4555693 Yes, because they don't understand yuri. And that's why they produce that kind of merch to begin with. And even if they'd understand, why would they produce something that will be only bought by yurifags when they can produce stuff from waifufags that will be bought by both because yurifags are afraid their genre will sell poorly? This sick market mustn't be supported. If they'll make anything yuri buy that, buy the manga, buy the BDs, and let that waifufag shit rot in their warehouses, maybe one day they'll understand.
>>4555823 >defending solo shit so desperately You are on the wrong board. There's no reason why they couldn't make images with the various pairings when that's the fucking point of the series.
>>4555833 Nobody has ever denied it's a yuri series, if you knew to read you would understand the problem is with the merch portraying solo girls, which is not yuri merch. It'd be only natural for a yuri series to have merch about two girls together, but nope, you have to retardedly defend this nonsense and attack people asking for yuri merch.
>>4555838 Keep crying like a little bitch. Complaining that someone is buying merch from a YURI series and supporting the author is the most pathetic thing an entitled faggot can say.
>>4555841 You're either trolling or so deep in your waifufaggotry you can't understand that an image of a solo girl is not yuri as it's also specified in /u/ rules for people like you.
>>4555839 The truly insane amount of exclusive unique art created for the event in addition to the fomo of not being able to get any of it is fueling most of it for me at least. It is interesting how many people are foaming at the mouth next to me since I thought there weren't many people left on /u/ who still buy stuff.
>>4555844 Nothing to do with “waifufaggotry”. There’s already so little yuri merch to begin with so you complaining like a little bitch when a series gets anything just tells me you’re just another newfag. Please shut the fuck up.
Any good ways to go about selling yuri doujins in the US? I'm moving and have a fairly large collection but am going to have to cut some loose.
The vast majority are fairly vanilla, however the definition of what people consider to be "loli" has greatly shifted over the years, and while most were not under that umbrella back when I bought them, I imagine much of it fits the bill nowadays so I don't think I can use any platform that bans that type of stuff to sell.
Not really looking to make much money, and I don't really think I have anything that is of much value anyway. Just don't want to get absolutely nothing if you catch my drift.
>>4557278 Evil demon is loosening my wallet... i cant, i need to save my money for prism garden scraps... >>4557199 >Chaser game W The protagonist in this series makes worse decisions than the average horror movie character. Genuine lobotomite character
>>4556917 A little late, but you could try eBay or maybe one of the selling threads on mfc. How much were you thinking about selling it all for? I’d be interested in buying them all depending on the price
>>4558238 nta but ebay is weird for that kind of stuff. I remember selling a dakimakura (non-nude) a few years ago, and it got reported and taken down. Went to support and they said i needed to remove "body pillow" from the listing and it would be fine. Then they did something similar for a swimsuit Shamiko figure and made me remove some of the pictures because it was too risque i guess, despite there being a ton of other listing up just fine with similar images.
>>4559160 Since they said they will make more batches of certain goods and sell them later, there won't be any leftover sales most likely. Only whatever goods they decide to sell online in a few weeks.
>>4557700 I end up just buying both when that happens. Flash forward a decade and I have way too many acrylics.
>>4559211 Don't want to use a dust cloth or a feather duster because they can slowly scratch the surface? I just use an electric duster and have a good room air filter so there isn't much dust to begin with.
>創る庭 I've distractedly looked at the raws and I didn't really see any yuri. It looks like a big downgrade from the usual Mikan'uji (without counting her non-yuri doujinshi).
>大崎さんと小森さん I was about to skip this based on the cover but I read the raws and it's incredibly sweet.
>君のせいなんだから、責任とってよね。 At least they've been honest and made it clear from the cover alone that's not yuri.
>上伊那ぼたん、酔へる姿は百合の花 8巻 I'm very tempted to drop it because of the absolute shit author.
>君となら、明日を歌えるの >彼氏の女友達がぐいぐい来る(私に) >オルターエゴ Other series with absolutely unnecessary boyfriends, they can keep them. The third one isn't even japanese.
>ミコトとレイ >工藤える This couple should be safe, not like her series on Kirara full of het, right? I read a doujinshi of them and it was like "no, we're both girls, we can't stay together, we should break up and you should have a 'normal' relationship" which isn't very reassuring.
>戦国女子高生 龍と虎 秘め事編 Another one by Ikuta Hana? But... reincarnations of male generals? No, thanks.

>>4560750 It seemed to be a temporary issue, I can reach it again now. Also, it seems like we won't have to worry about items selling out? https://x.com/garden_pri42819/status/2057750078211940753
I want to digitally get the フライデーナイトリリー chapter from COMIC GEE 40. The magazine is not available on Rakuten Kobo so I am lost... What's the current reccomend convient way of backup? Should I try DLsite with some ripper or just try my luck with Calibre and Kindle plugin? I will use a Mastercard credit card.
>>4560778 >The rest are while supplies last Doesn't the tweet explicitly say they guarantee any orders (regarding regular items) placed before may 31st will be fulfilled?
>>4560781 The site shows acrylics under グッズ一覧 and says ※無くなり次第終了となります。but the made to order section doesn't have that note. Maybe they will keep reservations open until the 31st but I'm not taking that chance.
I didn't know all the Prism Garden stuff would be preorders for the end of July. My wallet will still hurt, but I didn't have to hurry home early today.
Someone convince me not to get the big prints for Watanare and TenTen. 27500 yen.... But goddamnit, when we finally get YURI merch for yuri IPs I guess I got to put my money where my mouth was for years.
https://x.com/ichijinsha_info/status/2057751394791366881 Now I can feel like I was really there after just spending all my money on plastic yuri crack.
>>4560951 >which is usually the cost for an actual figure. I'm still absolutely seething they lock the Watanare figures into retarded bullshit arcade gacha instead of just letting me buy it. Fuck Teren. Its like they want to make sure scalpers do business.
>79.2k JPY excluding fees, shipping and import taxes That's only for the 3 participating series I like enough to splurge on, imagine if one were to like literally everything. And in a few weeks/months we'll hopefully get to do this again for the yurihime 20th ann. goods.
>>4560960 i have an entire drawer full of them that i've been meaning to find room to display, so i've been trying to cut back, and most of the series there i already have an acrylic stand or two of already. The "as the waver love falls" and "Hoshitele" ones have been calling my name though...
Sorry for the very late reply. By my count I have 8 SFW doujinshi, 38 NSFW/borderline, and 2 tankobon. The vast majority are overt yuri, some just art of cute girls.
All in solid condition. Many haven't even been taken out of the plastic sleeve I bought them in. I have a lot of Nico Maki stuff by Sweet Pea to give an example. If you are still interested I can list out in more detail.
Would prefer to be able to offload most or all at the same time though. Would like $250 for the lot.
Anyone have bad luck with fedex tariffs on their yuri manga shipments? I just got two invoices for my yuri boxes I sent the last couple months and they charged me the base 15% on the entire box even though it was only coded for books. I only even went with fedex to save money since DHL was about $50 more but now I'm paying more because they messed up the customs scan. Yuri importing has been so much more difficult this last year.
When wallscroll says that it's B2, is that counting the ends of the fabric reserved for the rods, or just the display portion? I was thinking of buying one and framing it, as i think they look a bit tacky otherwise
A new astonishing record, the shipment is 66,5% of the cost of the goods. But hey, at least they give you a discount of 755 yen to use next time!
Plus 640 € of BDs that Amazon won't ship abroad and 265 € of Prism Garden, without counting forwarder's fees and international shipping. I basically spent my whole income this month.
>>4562798 What did you buy for the shipping to be that expensive? My previous order through a forwarding service was maybe $50 for maybe $100 of stuff, including stuff from amazon.
>>4563041 In that order there are only manga. Today they split it into 4 different packages, three of them shipped from the same place at the same time. Useless waste of money. I don't know if it's because DHL doesn't have a direct connection from Japan to my country, everytime they ship my orders in China, than in Germany and finally in my country, but it was like that before of the Covid too and the shipment was around 30/40 €.
I was looking at storage tips for merch, and they mentioned can badges melting. Is this a real thing? i only have a few of them, but theyre about a decade old by now and haven't melted at all despite my place being pretty humid.
>>4563565 They probably meant that PVC fumes or plasticizer in the packaging caused a chemical reaction that made it turn sticky. It isn't a hot/cold thing. Just don't store plastic things in air tight containers.
>>4564251 i paid more shipping than that on a single galette volume from kickstarter (not even counting the tariffs since they come with acrylics and postcards, so theyre not treated as books). Shits fucked at the moment, but at least theyre starting to open up stuff like ECMS
Better to bulk up on a bunch of shit all at once and pay the absurd $150+ shipping
>>4564251 The yuri lifestyle creep is out of control. I'm spending about $400 per month, with an additional $200 on super inflated shipping costs and occasionally between $0 to $100 on tariffs depending on how they decide to fuck me the day it comes into the country. I remember I used to be able to buy everything I wanted from Honto a decade ago for $100 that barely needed over $20 SAL shipping.
>Postcards >Mini Shikishi >Bromides >Photo cards >Telephone cards >Trading cards >Those little business card sized pictures you get as bonuses from certain shops (no idea what theyre called) Hate how they're all different sizes, makes it such a pain to store them safely
>>4565524 Pretty underwhelming especially for a 20th anniversary. The acrylics seem awfully boring and the series selection as a whole is awfully limited for whatever reason. Prism Garden simply had more variety because it was a collaboration from series of different magazines and the art seemed more personal from the authors. I’m kind of thankful it sucks so I don’t have to deal with absurd shipping costs this time around.
>>4565524 I'd say it's because they're recycling illustrations they already had, while Prism Garden was new original illustrations for almost all of the items.
