Oh Play-Asia, how I love thee

As I have been excitedly telling everyone, my shipment from Play-Asia has finally arrived. I say finally because I had been expecting it to get here earlier (my order shipped on the 6th of February), completely forgetting about the Chinese New Year holidays. Early this week I had started to panic that it had gotten lost amidst the mountainloads of Chinese New Year cards that must have been flooding the post offices. On Thursday I was voicing my dread to Phui Mun, who I had convinced into buying one, that we might possibly never get to cradle our beloved Final Fantasy III figurines (which so happen to be limited items which had by now been completely sold out, so informing Play-Asia that the shipment never arrived probably wouldn't help), when I got home from work to find THE box sitting on top of my table.

Oh happy days and jubilations! There were five boxes of Final Fantasy III trading figures in total, two belonging to my brother, two to me, and one to Phui Mun, along with a Super Mario Bros keychain that I couldn't resist buying. Well, it IS just RM8++. So here are pics of my loot:



Yup, I got Goomba :D Ummm, please excuse the background mess that is my tabletop.




I let my brother open his portion of the boxes. These two are his. Pic's a bit blur, but I was too lazy to take another one. He got the dragoon I was eyeing, the lucky bastard. The one next to him is the black mage. Although it's a bit hard to tell from the photo, the quality of the figures is so good that I now regret deciding to only get two :(

Will be meeting Phui Mun tomorrow to let her choose hers, then I'll probably update with pics of the remaining three. I'm so excited now wondering what I'll get :D

UPDATE: Woot I got the cat figure (the white mage / devout) and the freelancer! Phui Mun wanted the freelancer, so I exchanged it for her red mage. So now I have the devout and the red mage. Hopefully my brother will want the devout so I can exchange it with the dragoon. Yay :D Here's a happy pic with all the five figures:

What a good waste of money. You should have wasted it on buying more cheap DVDs and CDs /fan
 
I'm still very much in love with my Freelancer XDDDD He's so so so darn cute standing next to Sephiroth HAHAHAHA
 
Elliot: I would, but there was really nothing else I wanted. 'sides, these are cute /fan

Phui Mun:Lol yeah, you should really post up that pic, along with a caption that says, "Aww shucks, I wish I was that tall." XD
 
Hmm... how long did the shipping/delivery take? I might want to order one. That Goomba has a face that says "STEP ON ME NOW!". *POP*
 
Umm, in this case it took close to a month, but it usually takes them a week or two to get here. If you want to order one, you better hurry because these are limited availability items, and I don't know if they still have any.
