Hauls: A Month and a Half's Pile Up
July Hauls
1st Half of August Hauls
Well, here's a major lootfest, since I wasn't able to post them for a while due to business (with work, Team Onii-chan activities, Dragon Nest and dear homerunchan).
But anyway, a breakdown of the loots (do not that there is 1 figure set that I wasn't able to take a picture of XD):
- Black Rock Shooter Limited Edition DVD Box
- Banpresto Bakemonogatari DX Figure Sengoku Nadeko
- Takara Tomy Transformers Animated TA-05 Prowl
- Figma 132 Irisviel Von Einzbern
- D-Arts Vava
- Nendoroid 220 Megurine Luka Cheerful version
- Takara Tomy Transformers Prime AM-12 War Breakdown
- GSC 1/8 Miki Sayaka
- Ques Q 1/8 Yakumo Yukari
- Hasbro Transformers Hunt for the Decepticons Brimstone
- Takara Tomy Transformers United Black Optimus Prime
- Sega Prize Figure Fairy of the Music Hatsune Miku
- Megahouse Excellent Model Series Saya and Haji
- S.H.Figuarts Cure Lemonade
- S.H.Figuarts Cure Berry
- S.H.Figuarts Cure Passion
- Kotobukiya ARTFX J Hiei
- Takara Tomy Transfomers Prime AM-15 Vehicon
- Hasbro Kre-O Transformers Decepticon Ambush (not in the pictures above)
So yeah, one of these miraculously got a rather "quick" turnaround time for me to review and it's none other than the BRS DVD Box which contains figma Insane Black Rock Shooter; I also happen to have lent IBRS along with Yukari and Sayaka during our recently concluded display at Otaku Expo Reload, coverage of which you can view at my facebook fanpage or at Team Onii-chan's fanpage.
The list of hauls also makes me taking on new Transformers lines such as the Animated line with Prowl being my first from the line, also opening me in stepping into the what I dread/spite, the Arms Micron line with Breakdown (since he's a Takara exclusive) and Vehicon (for army building purposes). Also, I've managed to snag a Kre-O set and finally got an answer to my biggest Kreon question: "Can Kreons clip to a regular Transformer's clip on ports?" and the answer is a big YES, really tight fit too!
The others are a bunch of the usual articulated figures and scaled figures I've been hauling and actually Cure Lemonade and AM Vehicon are gifts from my friends. So... yeah, as much as I want to review some of these, my review area is temporarily unavailable due to the fact that it's being used as a box storage right now. My sister promised to help me clean up, so... once that's done, reviews would probably be back to be being more frequent. But anyway, that's it for my hauls. XD

Murakami's Log #4: Back! 4 Years And Beyond!
Jackie's back? Nah, it's more like Murakami's Back!
Sorry for leaving you guys out for a whole month without any news, reviews or any post at all... It's a long story but do read if you want to know what's happened.

May Hauls: The Impulse Bunch
All of these... weren't really on my pre-orders
A bunch of impulse buys I guess and 2 gifts! =))
Well, to start off, first among these hauls would be the TF Prime RID ones, I don't really dig the Arms Micron line because of the stickers and that's what made me get the Hasbro releases since if you had noticed I would usually prefer getting the Takara releases except when Hasbro proves to the be the better one for my preference or when there's a slight or no difference at all like the Movie lines and lastly, when only Hasbro has it like PCC (but United line will be releasing 4 PCCs soon) But anyway, we only have wave1-3 here (I think) and aside from Soundwave and Wheeljack, Vehicon is amongst the top list of hard to find since people usually hoard them (I understand the army builders but scalpers... well... screw it :p) And I happen to come across 1 and instantly got it with Ratchet being tagged along the purchase since I really love Prime's Ratchet and for once on my time for the TF collection, Hasbro has done a very clean white on Ratchet making the Takara an instant pass for me. XD
Next up would be some nendo petits from Madoka, I didn't really intend on buying them but when a friend of mine opened a group buy I just had to get the Blue Justice Girl lol, Sayaka of course, so, I instantly reserved the two and got them during Team Onii-chan's last display which was at Vocafusion.
And last but not least, a friend of mine went to Japan so I asked him to get me a G2 Gamera for a nifty price (cheap blogger is cheap lol!) and he got me one for 2.6k yen, a fair enough price I guess; after I got him, another friend of mine reminded me of an available UN WfC Prime around, so, when we checked, he was still there, and I bought it at a steal price since he IS quite rare already these days and thus also completes my WfC Rival pair. The Charlotte strap and the other one beside her, a *you know* doujin of Cure Peace are souvenirs from Japan that my friend gave me. I wasn't expecting a doujin and Cure Peace to boot @.@ oh well, hahahaha. But anyway, that's it for my final hauls this month.

Recent Hauls: Magical Characters, Warriors and a Scientist
It's a pretty big mass of unblogged stuff...
But the lower picture was just obtained 3 days ago XD
Okay, so, having been busy going out and playing sometimes annoying Dragon Nest. I wasn't able to blog that much and thus, missing my ability to actually phost the last wave of April hauls on April itself. loooool. But Anyway, April hauls consists of articulateds and a certain nerdy yet wonderful scientist named Makise Kurisu in her scaled figure form by Good Smile Company. Anyway, figmas consists of Mami and Kenshin, Mami was a no brainer since she is my 2nd favorite in the series while Kenshin, well, she looked awesome even if I am not familiar with the eroge itself XD And last but not least, completing my Max Heart cast is SHF Shiny LoliLuminous, who also happens to be in my top list from my favorites in the cureverse. XD
Moving on to the main month hauls, this is probably going to be my grandest haulage of the month, notable for finally completing my Madoka Mahou Shoujo figmas with the yuri buddies, Sayaka and Kyoko arriving at the same time. XD Adding up to my Sayaka fangasms would be her nendo who also happens to have been released last month. XD
Now Wheeljack and Kurisu are actually hauls from the first day of the month after the pigfest we did at PapaJohn's unlimited Pizza promo. While the TF Prime RID line was just released late month there are quite notorious pieces who bites the dust quickly namely Soundwave, Vehicon and Wheeljack for being the top 3 hardest to find pieces after the release. Luckily, I informed my friend about it and he volunteered to get me a Wheeljack and so I finally got him! Also from the same friend, I also got figma Kurisu for a friendly price despite how much she's picking up these days...
And last but not least would be my 2 scaled figure hauls, while I've been into articulates since some time last year, I still can't pass up some scaled figures and in this case, Alter's Luke and Phat's Ran. While Luke is a must have since I am a Tales series fan, the figure itself is good and I can't wait to have the time to shoot him and put up a review. Ran, on the other hand, while looking pretty cute thanks to my favorite sculptor, YOSHI, is pretty much worth every penny; would you believe that Ran actually weighs 1kg? Phat did an amazing job by making his fox tail totally solid plastic, you really can feel the weight if you hold the box in person. XD
But anyway, that's it for now, bandai news will follow after a certain late bandai product news, looool.

February Hauls: The First Half Bots and Magical Girls
So yeah, pardon the slow updates since I've been really busy at work recently @.@
Well first thing's first I also was unable to post my last two hauls last month which are two more TFs, namely PCC Bombshock which I can now stop pursuing since I only have around 1 or 2 more nice to haves from the line but not necessarily something that I need to get. Sandstorm also closes my HA from DotM since he was the last must have for me, especially now that I also got Whirl who was another nice to have.
Now my first few was Takara editions of the first Edition molds for Bulkhead and Cliffjumper from the Transformers Prime series, many thanks to my usual source for making me able to get these two (and I should be bringing home Prime by next month).
Next would be two blonde magical girls; my Touhou figmas are now one more step to being completed now that I got Marisa and at a really cheap price too courtesy of a friend of mine ^^. Also my first Nendo from the Madoka series arrives and it's none other than my first favorite in the series, Mami! (only to be later replaced by Sayaka XD)
Lastly, as I have said above, Whirl was a nice to have but my sister paid half of it sooo, I got it, thanks sis! :D And next is Guzzle, I was amazed how much he homages his G1 self and so, I wanted to try at least 1 Cyberverse toy, he does look too puny when compared to a scout class but yeah, I still need to see if Guzzle will remain in my collection in the long run or not, in case he does, then expect MakeToys Seaspray and Powerglide to come home in the future too looool.
But that's it for this haul post. I still have a lot of reviews coming but I'm really just busy so I can't post them right away T_T

January Hauls: Miku and The Transformers
Last wave of hauls for January!
And this sums up my hauls from today til 2 weeks ago.
So yeah, first of the 4 is actually Jazz, from two weeks ago, lol. With the help of my friend, I was able to win United Jazz for a very cheap price despite the fact that he used to be rare and still quite expensive right now. I've tried the RTS version but UN really wins it for me for some reason, maybe the whiteness of it and the non existent rubsign which I don't really dig.
Next is my hauls from last week, figma Racing Miku finally arrived and yessss she also marks as my 36th Miku in the collection. >:) I'm actually surprised that her price right now is batsh*t expensive and luckily I got mine for quite a friendly price. :) Also, Maketoy's Battle Tanker upgrade also arrived last week so I got it and I immediately assembled it to get rid of derpy ol' Laser Prime.
And from today's Lazer Tag session with JPToysPH, I grabbed up Cyclonus from the 3-pack since I've always wanted it and not rodimus and galvatron since I have other targets for their molds. I got it loose for 600php which is a pretty neat price and the joints are also tight. :D
Anyway, here ends my current haul post!

First Wave of 2012 Hauls
More articulateds... More figures on the backlog
But eeee, I will get there eventually XD
These were my hauls back in the weekends, while Miku arrived already late last month, it was only last weekend that I was able to pick her up along with Dark Precure. While all of my articulated hauls have no double hands and whatnot problem, the sad and slightly annoying part is that my Dark Precure, which is also a Tamashii Web exclusive, got hit with some serious QC paint issues, having quite a ridiculous amount of out of place silver on her hair which homerunchan noticed while I was checking the joints. XD
Anyway, the last of my hauls is actually an impulse buy in the form of Banpresto's prize figure of Miki Sayaka. While the initial impressions had that derpy look, banpresto managed to pull it off by improving on it for the final product which looked nice after seeing some pics and thus, lead to getting it.

2011 Year End Hauls
These are basically my hauls from the Ozine Anime Figure Special as well XD
As mentioned in the previous post, we had touhou as one of the major series lineups for our display and each series received certain tarps and unfortunately, the Touhou tarps weren't used but was still up for grabs and thanks to Sensei, I got this touhou nendo tarp featuring a mind bending "you know me so well" character lineup since my top 2 favorites are there, Cirno and Sakuya, hahaha. Youmu's the other one BTW XD
Anyway, the Racing Miku straps would be the sponsor item for the figma RQ Miku which is yet to arrive here, figma Ayase also finally arrived and since I'm back to normal blogging phase for a while, expect her review to go up very soon. Lastly, you might remember that I got Aku no Musume Rin already before but I still didn't like Rin back then... so... I sold it and I finally managed to get it back after a year lol. So yeah, these 2 figures are my final hauls of 2011. XD A bunch of reviews would come soon since I can't shoot right now due to low battery of the camera. XD

A Merry Christmas To All of You!
Santa lolis? How I wish they really exist!
I would say Xmas isn't so alive this year in our country for some reason, it's like a normal day and top it off since we can't put xmas decors due to tradition because as you might (or not) remember, my Dad died a few months ago. But hey, Xmas is still Xmas, a time of lovin and all XD So, to my fellow collectors, readers, friends and whatnot, a merry merry Xmas to all of you! I sure went pig mode today lololol! So, yeah, that's it for the greeting but... as the song says, there are 12 days of Xmas, so, let's enjoy it shall we and 2011 is soon ending as well. Whether the 2012 prophecy is true or not, let's just enjoy life as we know it and I sure am thanks to a certain Homerun-chan XP
Anyway, I guess I'll punch these in for my last Xmas wave and the actual Xmas gifts since they aren't orders, one of them is a gift from my sis (wooooot) while two others are bought by me since they're on ridiculous clearance. So yeah, that's it and a Merry Xmas again! XDDD

December Hauls: Christmas Finale
And finally before the Xmas strikes in a few days...
Another wave of haulage 8D
I actually got these 5 last Saturday which was also Team Onii-chan's Xmas party, while I've paid for RQ and the pixtones long ago, it was only last Sat that I get to meetup with my friend who got it for me so, yeahhh, late haulage is a more appropriate term for it, lol.
As for Fei Yen, you'd probably know why I even got it in the first place, if you don't... clue: Miku?
Hahahaha, so, yeah, I finally got it from one of my suppliers and it's actually another first impression from another line.
Lastly, the Baka To Test box from Chara Ani contains Himeji XD I got from fellow collector, Mochaholic, from the xmas party's exchange gift. Thanks Mochaholic! :3
Anyway, that's it for now, hopefully there's still one more haulage left for the month XD ahaha

December Hauls: An Early Christmas
First wave of Xmas hauls 8D
It really did feel like Xmas already when I brought home all these. XD
In reality, 5 of those were my pre-orders which would be the scaled figures and figma Homura, but as for SHF Cure Black and White Max Heart versions, supposedly, they are also on my orders list, but my supplier got cut-off so I wasn't able to get them; I just happened to have stumbled on them for a ridiculously cheap price which is why I got them immediately. And lastly, for Beelzebmon, well, he's really cheap at HLJ and just when they had the flat rate shipping offer weeks ago, I had Beelzebmon ordered and so I finally have all D-Arts Digimon figures released to date XD
And a non-haul but will be someone's haul in the coming Saturday, whoever gets mine for our exchange gift will receive this tiny badass gundam.

November Hauls: Of Boundaries, Swords and Stardust
First wave of last half hauls
Got them earlier too XD (Starscream not included of course loool)
So after a looooong while, I finally got another Scaled figure, and it's not just any scaled figure, it's also my very first Touhou Project scaled figure. :3 And it's none other than Phat's Yukari! Upon feasting my eyes on her the moment her orders went up, I really loved the figure and the final certainly does not fail to meet expectations, I'll be posting the review very soon (Hopefully within the week ^^)
As for the other, my once disliked now turned into the very favorite character from Madoka, Sayaka finally arrived in the form of a kyun-chara from the 1st ichibankuji release of banpresto for the series, really happy to get it XD She's cute hahahaha XD
Lastly, my friend opened up a group buy from chara-ani's trading figs for ore imo and since I like Meruru and he was only after Kirino, I opted to get Meruru immediately and here she is now and I've been singing Meteor Impact since earlier this week looooooool. Anyway, that's all for today's hauls XD

November Hauls: The First Half
Hauls!
I've been too busy playing Dragon Nest recently so, late posts and no reviews recently XD
Miku Append actually arrived last month but since I asked my friend to get it from amiami instead of where I usually get my stuff, I had to wait when he was available so I only got it on November's first Sunday XD. I've got a lot of stuff waiting to be opened and review and hopefully I can proceed soon enough.
As for the other, I was out on a client meeting last Tuesday and when I was about to go back to the office I dropped by Glorietta to eat lunch and eventually passed through Toys R Us along the way back, to my surprise, they already had Transformers Prime's Wave 1 of Deluxe classes along with the Deluxe Prime and Megs set. Though I would usually wait for the Takara releases, the hasbro counterparts were good enough (except for Bumblebee's cheap colors) and so, without further delay, I got my first Starscream and maybe I'll try to get Arcee next time along with Bulkhead as my only hasbro targets, I'll most likely be hitting Takara's Prime releases once they're out. XD

October Hauls: Figma Wave
A bunch of figmas that I got before and after the my slight halt during the past 2 week
And they're a bunch of figmas as the title says XD
I actually got Manaka and Madoka quite early on but forgot to post them immediately and as I was planning to actually post them in the latter week, the bad news struck and I had to go on halt for a while. Suika was my loot last Saturday and I must say she's reallllllllllly cute X3 But yeah, first one to get reviewed from the 3 is obviously Madoka so stay tuned 8D

October Hauls: First Half Bulk
Managed to snagged these guys from last week to yesterday XD
Thus, the first half bulk.
SIC FJ and Skull were my hauls from last week also at the very start of the month, since I had to finally get it from my supplier and hopefully I'd be able to review it soon since as you know, collecticon yesterday and today, so, no new reviews this week, just some backlogs again.
As for the TFs, as news got out that the generations line got marked down, I was really targeting either Kup or 3 Scourges, but none of them were there when I visited the mall's toy store and saw Lugnut instead (also marked down and now hard to find at the said price). I really wanted him before and when I got the chance I still hesitated though but after flipping 3 coins and getting 3 heads, I got him lol. Lastly, for the Sons of Cybertron, well, the collecticon sure was a nice spot for finding some good TF deals and this was one of them, priced at approximately 40 USD, I immediately got it as it does fetch much higher in GH and I've always wanted the clear Rodimus (but as for Optimus, I might just sell him though lol). Anyway, that's it for now.

September Hauls: The 1st 3rd Party Upgrade
And I finally got a new AND complete Bludgeon.
Blood was actually a haul from last week XD
Anyway, after a week of my epic mom being able to refund my defective RotF Bludgeon from the hands of disrespectful customer service from a certain amazing toystore, I finally got a complete non-defective and completely sealed Bludgeon today! I was actually surprised that my new Bludgeon had twisties and the previous one I bought did not, meaning it could've been returned already from before, so... WTH man >_>
Anyway, I really just got Bludgeon because of the body for Headrobot's Blood The Dark Warrior upgrade kit. Good thing it was in around 60 or 70% mark down so getting the body + the head was just like buying a Voyager class in SRP. XD Anyway, and here's to my final haul this month!

September Hauls: Humanoids
Too late of a post actually
I almost forgot to post it. XD
Well, I was supposedly going to post it together with my other haul but one robot here proved to give me another "lucky" purchase as this time, he's got a WHOLE friggin' arm missing and luckily thanks to my mom's help, I was able to refund it and that's Bludgeon lol. I'll probably be getting another piece by Friday (hopefully, there are still stocks of him left for clearance >.<)
Lat Miku also arrived before the Best of Anime weekend so I picked her up asap along with Zero who arrived much much earlier. Reviews of these 3 will probably be up in around 2 weeks time I guess. XD Anyway, there's still one more haulage left for the month >:)
