Wrapping up my Supanova coverage, I present you my small little loot I acquired at the event. This year, my set budget was AUD$200 and I am happy to say, I’ve met my target. Actually I was way below my budget so is a good sign.
Hit the jump for a more detailed listing.
Nendoroid Louise - $69
Paying $69 bucks for a nendoroid is not considered cheap in my books. Most of the time, I don’t even need to pay that much online including shipping but given that fact she’s hard to find nowadays and she was a Hobby Stock exclusive to begin with, I would be paying a higher price to get her online so $69 is a fair call. She makes it my third Louise figure and I get the feeling she won’t be my last.
Cushion covers - 2 for $35
Both of these cushion covers was too hard to pass up. Not only I adore Shana and Akihime, Sumomo from the not so popular series Nanatsuiro Drops, I love the Rozen Maiden series and I love Shinku as well.
It was a tough decision to decide which one I wanted so I follow my heart and chose both. I was willing to negotiate the price consider each cover cost $20 so I suggested $35 for both and they were happy at that price. Sometimes it pays off to bring out my negotiation skills.
Yoko fanart - $5
A Yoko fan art I picked up from a club. I’m not really into fan art too much but when it comes from characters I know and love, I just can’t seem to resist.
So the total amount adds up to AUD$109. It’s a big improvement compared to last year event where I forked out over $300+.
Given I was tempted on a variety of items throughout the day, I resisted to only a few items I really wanted and can fit in my room. It’s no question I will need a bigger bookcase to cater my incoming goods in the next few months. Other than that, another alternative I can think off is to sell some of my unwanted goods so they can be treasures from some people out there.

Nendo Louise is one of the nice deals you got there, since it’s exclusive. I got her recently in toys event for IDR 500k (almost AUD 60 i think).

Nice loot and economical too. Wouldn’t mind that Rozen Maiden cushion cover or that Yoko fanart. Admittedly, I am a buyer of fanart. Especially Touhou (the non-adult ones only ^_^;).

I haven’t seen a lot of people mentioning the nendo Louise - not sure why this is the case and I thought it would have been a popular release - turned out to be an exclusive release o_O. Besides 69AUD doesn’t seem cheap at all - nearly the price that I got for my nendo Nekomimi Shana…
Haven’t watched Rozen Maiden, but the other cushion cover is good - Noizi Ito’s stuff are always great~ Great stuff as usual~ ^^

@Adun
If I see it as SMASH! then I don’t think I could resist it again especially Mikuru. lol
@Rin
She should be easy to find in Japan.
I think it’s the first time I stayed under budget. lol
@zenical
but ur getting the nendo Saber lily now so that changes everything. MUHAHAHAHA.
Considering ur getting 2 why not get 3. :P
@Smithy
If I got it online today, I would’ve had to pay more. @_@
@Q
REALLY!? 69AUD for Nekomimi Shana.
zomg, can i buy it from u at the price? xD
Nowadays, she will cost at least 100AUD for it. >_>
U should give Rozen Maiden a go. Just think of it as ‘figma dolls’ now. lol
