So I got myself a black butler…

Ever since about 2003 I’ve seen all kinds of photographs of people with anime figurines. Whether it was of a gundam or some other mecha or a full scale model of the popular moĆ© character of the day, I always manged to find post-convention photos on people’s blogs or postings about new ones on sale at places like jlist. From that time on, I knew I just had to have one, but my biggest setback was usually the price. When you go though a little currency conversion from Yen to the Canadian dollar, these things could put you 100+ dollars in the hole and I’m just a humble college student! Then with anime north 2008 and fan expo 2008 I was even more determined to buy something, those adorable nendoroids and other figurines…I just knew I could give them a good home. But once again the price came and hit me upside the head. I saw an amazing Code Geass Knightmare frame at FanExpo but the vendor wanted 75 dollars for it. I guess it’s true some of these hobby shops jack up their prices during convention time…You know how they say good things come to those who wait? Well today my day came!
