Feb Loot!!!

Well, my Feb loot is pretty big and costly this month. I got quite a few items that came in the mail today and that I bought when it came out. First thing I notice is that my package today came in an Alter box and the figure that is suppose to be Teena Lanster figures. I only got one though. At least it says one of the figures that is in that box. Still, it’s a pretty big box and custom cost pwned me today. I had to pay $100 in customs. Why must customs cost so much.Anyways, the package came from Hobby Search.

The big box came with five figures. Clayz Konata Izumi, Clayz Kagami Hiiragi, Alter’s Teena Lanster, AlphaXOmega Kallen Kouzuki and Freeing Rin Kokonoe. A lot of figures and cost a lot. Next time, I need to have seperate packages to have a smaller shipping cost. I want to do a review on one of these figures but not sure when or which one.

I picked up a pre order at my local EB Games today and yes, it’s Street Fighter 4!!! I’ve been waiting to play this game since I played it in Japan. Why two you ask, I own both systems and I’m more used to the PS3 controller due the fact it’s almost exactly the same as the PS2 controller (which I’m extremely used to). Also I’m waiting on my joystick so I can play it with the 360. It’s extremely weird to play a Street Fighter 4 game with a Xbox 360 controller. Well, going to start playing tonight but not online yet as my Xbox 360 online has expired. I need to renew it. As soon as I get a new online card I will take any challenger on. My online ID is AzureSaber

Some really nice loot you got. I’m really interested in the Clayz Kagamin and Teana Lanster. I think I’m leaning towards landing her next month if she’s still available. Not too sure about Clayz x Kagamin, the stock photos didn’t inspire at all.

I’d say that’s a good $450 worth of figures and $100 in shipping? Then customs slap you in the face (like they do to all of us) with a $100 bill As if the tax wasn’t enough, they charge you *handling* charges for charging tax…so wrong, just so wrong.

Only time I played Street Fighter was on the SNES, but I was never good at it. So SF games doesn’t interest me a lot. Nice loot altogether, congrats

$100 of customs?? Damn that is a bit to much , but judging from the size of the loot I would had to pay even more than that :S

At last you also got your Teana Lanster. I’m looking forward for your photoshoot for this one.

Anyway, pretty nice loot! Hope you could get your review backlog done soon.

Sad to hear about the custom tax. D= $100 is really too much.
Me wants Teana and Konata. Clayz Kagami-sama doesn’t look appealing to me.

Well our customs work like this, if the imported merchandise is below 22€ we don’t pay tax, if it’s higher than we pay 40% plus of both the merchandise price and its transport price which is really a pain
