Hello gamers, guess who's finally being productive and making... A massive loot post because I have a summer Birthday and that's where my buying tends to get out of control. To be fair, A decent handful of stuff so far is "Stuff I picked up at some point during the last few months and forgot to ship out via proxy," then others is "I saw it while I was at a local shop so I grabbed it because I was interested." And others were "Well, this finally came in despite being preordered ages ago, and I tossed some cheap things I was looking at a while ago into the package as well." That and AmiAmi's shipping has been really slow as of late so things are just naturally getting delayed. I didn't really wanna make this into "X month's loot blog" because it's really just a bunch of stuff I bought as far back as April (Which is yes, spring, and not summer, but SoCal is hot anyways so it might as well be summer) up until just recently. So I guess expect a lot of pictures. A fair share of what's pictured here isn't mine, but I just grabbed the pics I had and started tossing them here, so oh well.

So, here's a pile of stuff I just kinda tossed on my bed. Most of this is a friend's but the stuff that is mine is Sanji, Tataru, and the handful of media off on the side. We also split the box of plush keychains. In the media is both Yugioh guide books: The newer of the manga ones and the anime & DSOD one. I mostly bought for art references, which the DSOD one had plenty of. Really worth the money, and it's a pretty decent size. I also grabbed some hard copies of Umineko because I realized that all these years, I never had an actual hard copy of Umineko. Well, at some point I'd like to get the Alchemist games as well, but that'll be a later issue. I think this arrived early or mid May. I honestly don't remember.

Early June, I finally managed to get a new cubby shelf. The one I had before had water damage that I was covering up on it's side. I was able to grab this one for 40 at Walmart, and it's pretty decent. It's a bit smaller, and can kind of be wobbly. Maybe at some point I can find better fitting dowels for it, because I think that'd make it a lot better. Either way, I did need more storage and this fits a lot of my media nicely rather than tucking a bunch in bins where it all gets forgotten about. Plus, it kind of satisfied my need to have a dedicated Yamato shrine, even if it is just all acrylics.

This arrived mid June. Was primarily an order where I had gotten quite a few keychains & a set of blind boxes (with keychains.) I took out the ones I wanted and gave the rest to a friend.

Late June. Family went on a 4 day trip to Vegas, so I took one of those days to walk around and check out our local malls and what not, since I had to go ship a few packages out. The first mall, which is a lot closer to town, I only got 2 things: A keychain I forgot to take a picture of, and a manga spinoff for One Piece. The second mall I hadn't been to in a while, and it seems like they have a lot of shops that sell anime merch. So I picked up a few things. Overall it was a pretty fun trip and felt nice to get out of the house on my own and take my time in the mall rather than be rushed to go wherever other people want to go.

Early July. Friend & I saw the Jyudai nendo available on BBTS, so they grabbed us 2 of him. Now my shelf can have its own Shmaden Shmooki. At this rate though, I'm going to need more space for Nendoroids, because all the delays from GSC US are beginning to get their emails sent out.

This order was super delayed on shipping out as well as being ready due to a delay within it, but this was my big order from Amiami for the month of June (As well as the Kokies Kaiba just kinda hanging out in the picture, don't mind him.) I really really wanted the Sweet Toxic Eve when I saw her, so I grabbed her. She's so pretty but oh my god she is huge. The rest of the stuff is 2 items I snuck into the order as well as a box of acrylics for a split and well, another Kaiba. I'm kind of glad I'm running out of space for my acrylics. Luckily there's really only one more that I want that hasn't been ordered...

The last part of this loot was my proxy order. To be fair, I had quite a few things piled up from June cos I took advantage of a bunch of 10%-20% off deals from Mercari and Rakuten, so I grabbed some of the few prize figures I was looking for, as well as a decent handful of Tales of Series figures. I haven't shipped them all out yet, but I'm kind of excited to see a lot of them back in my collection. Normally, I wouldn't get nearly this much in a proxy order, but considering most of the figures I bought were well under 40 and the 2 highest were 60, I kinda splurged. I'm still looking for 2 more Tales figures for now, but for a while, I'm just going to try to keep to most of my planned orders.

Anyways sorry I hadn't done one of these in a while, but I wanted to see if I could get it done before raid tonight, so I did this rather than finally finish that last Miku review I gotta do. If I'm lucky though, I'll be able to do the rest of that tonight. Praying for the clear, so I can have Friday off.
