vance hu, range murata and GOFA
last modified: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 (6:45:22 PM)

got my vance hu fancel from ah! my goddess up in the gallery. it looks fine but maybe i should have ordered a huge one instead of a big one. i'm running out of wall space anyway in the anime room so i might as well end it now then look to make another big purchase. i usually spend below 90 dollars for most of my collection and just spend big on 1 item a year.

most of the time that big item is an item from GOFA when i attend ax. if i see something interesting there i buy it, if not i don't. these past 2 years have been kor items from akemi takada. but this year the prices for kor items are beyond a drugstore retail employee salary. and besides i'm basically a cheap person by nature so no kor items for me. although there was a nice print without matt or frame that looked nice until i saw the price. $1.5k. yikes.

while scanning the net i looked up GOFA and saw their online store chalk full of range murata items and even saw kor items i bought from them. they went up in price significantly from last i remembered. some doubled in price. yikes again.

though i must say alot of the items they showed at ax isn't on their site which i find odd. i guess people at ax had first shot at all the okama items they brought first which is nice but the kor item i saw for 1.5k isn't on the site so i can't even look at it anymore from faraway. sigh.

well there's always next year i guess. and if anyone is interested in murata ( last exile and blue submarine no.6 ) items here's the link

Yep, I made it to GOFA, and this is what I went home with:

I wanted it last year, but was unsure how to get it home. This year I ended up buying it, and shipped it back USPS Express. It came framed, so I was terrified that the glass would break, but it made it safe and sound. Hopefully next year you can get your kor.
