Recent Hauls 3: The quest for more stuff

[ZapX]

She looks more like she's covering her nose because someone farted.

Sir, elegant ladies don't fart.

Me Gusta.

I still have my GoS2/Angelic Days manga, though in storage. It's good stuff.

Oh, Tamashii Buddies and SH Figuarts official backgrounds are here: https://twitter.com/SMHeartMoving/status/612364209150504960

I always loved how Rei looks on that cover. Probably my favorite depiction of her.

I really like how she looks on that cover to, I think it's cute how her and Asuka are holding hands. I wish they would have had the other volumes but these were the only ones I could find. They're used, but they were only $1.49 ea.

[Aiko Heiwa]

Got my reissue God Ginrai delivered today.

SPOILER: Show

Also got a knock-off Transformer delivered today. (Before anyone asks why I bought a knock-off, the KO I bought was off Minerva and her original toy is considered rare and can cost between $1500 and $2000, depending on if it's MISB or not, so $93 for the pretty good quality Korean KO is a good deal, IMO)

SPOILER: Show

I also got the Reprolabels sticker sheet for Minerva with the KO, so I can apply them so she'll look more accurate to the original toy. (But I need to paint her robot mode body white before I do that)

But still happy early birthday to me.

You can probably find 'em on EBay or Amazon for cheap (maybe even something like Half Price Books?). I was originally thinking of selling my copies awhile back, but because they're out of print/hard to find, I couldn't part with 'em. I love that it's a short and sweet (seriously adorable, for Evangelion*) 6 volume story--and the art itself improves, but could be better... Oh well.

*I love the additions the story includes that sort of supplement the GoS2 game itself!

[IronEvangelion]

Not bad for $20:

I'm Cloud Strife and I approved this folding knife.

[Sailor Star Dust]

Pretty cool! Does remind me of something outta FF7 or Eva

[Catamari]

I don't think I've told you about my new [s]r[/s]waifu.

She's beautiful, sexy, German, and very curvy. A little on the short side, though. She's really loud, boisterous, and she packs a punch. She's clean, graceful, and knows how to hold a knife. The only problem is that her previous [s]boyfriend[/s] husbando was a Nazi.

Here's a picture and a little more about this sexy minx.

SPOILER: Show

No, this is not my gun. I will take pictures of mine, soon. It's a Karabiner 98k. Fires 8mm mauser ammunition. The gun is in very good condition, the action is very smooth and the rifling is perfect.

[IronEvangelion]

Good choice! I have the Turkish version of the '98 Mauser myself.

[Catamari]

I have the cleaning supplies for my Raifu in the mail. I also purchased some ammunition that surprised me.

The ammo was manufactured in November 1954...in the Soviet Union. It's milsurp, so it's most likely corrosive. Basically, all that means is that I have the clean the gun fairly soon after I'm done firing I need to clean the weapon.

I think it is rather funny. I'm an American, shooting Rooskie ammo out of a German gun of Czech manufacture.

Are you certain it's Soviet? The only 50's production combloc 7.92x57 typically available these days is Yugoslavian. You can also find 70s production Romanian stuff ('LPS' style light ball with a mild steel core). The 50s Yugo stuff has a reputation for blown primers and case head separation; consider inspecting the spent brass for your first few shots.

I don't actually know if it is Soviet. I just made that assumption on the basis that the box is covered in, what I assume, is Russian.

EDIT: Found a photo online. These are the boxes.

[IronEvangelion]

Yeah that looks like the Yugoslavian ammo I bought years ago. Lots of nations in the general area of the former Soviet Union use the Cyrillic alphabet, even if their native languages aren't Russian. Sort of like how English, French, Spanish, and German all use the same alphabet despite being different languages. So it isn't Russian ammo, and Yugoslavia broke away from the Soviet Union in 1948 (but remained a socialist nation) so it's not actually Soviet either.

Some advice on old Surplus ammo: The primers have started to die on a lot of ammo as old as that stuff. When I last bought Yugo surplus ammo for my Mauser, I got roughly 33% duds. Out of a box of fifteen, roughly 5 of them wouldn't go bang. Eventually I just stopped buying it because it stopped being cost-effective. You might want to locate an alternative source of modern ammunition. Here's a place I've ordered from before, they have just about everything:

Received:
- Sega Saturn stuff ([url]http://forum.evageeks.org/post/799905/Vintage-gaming-options/#799905[/url] for details).
- Vampire Princess Miyu artbook + OVA soundtrack + CD Drama soundtrack + TV soundtrack (the artbook is gorgeous and so is all of the music by Kenji Kawai).
- Volks A-Brand Complete garage kit catalogue (at least 50% of the book shows explicit hentai kits from all (and I mean ALL) sides including some Eva ones - also, ouch my spine when I see some of the poses )
- Assault Suits Valken 2 Zear 2nd garage kit.

[Aiko Heiwa]

I decided to spend some more of my birthday money yesterday because the power was gonna be out for until like 3pm.

I picked up two Transformers (Combiner Wars Optimus Prime and Bombshell) and this Link plush.

SPOILER: Show

Apparently the Link plush is hard to find. I paid $10 for it and I literally can't find it for sale on any retailer site and stuff like eBay and Amazon third-party sellers are asking $25 or so for it.

I literally just bought it because it was just on the shelf all alone.

[Nuclear Lunchbox]

I bought an exclusive limited print run hentai and a couple sealed H-mags from Japan at AX yesterday. Why did I buy what amounts to $65 of porn? Because I'm the goddamn Agent Ahegao, that's why. Quote that. Quote and print that.

I'll post some censored pictures when I have the time to take (and then censor) them.

Won't that be...you know...redundant?

You would love Akihabara.

[Nuclear Lunchbox]

No, I have to take the pictures... and then censor them. So that they'll be, you know, censored.
