Well. I'm going home to the States tomorrow afternoon. But before I go, I'd like to share some pictures I took at WingMax, the only official Volks franchise store here in Taiwan. It's small, but I don't live close to any BJD stores in the US. So this was a treat for me. And to compensate my excitement to be there... I bought two outfits and a pair of shoes. (Not to mention, I drooled over the 3rd Hewitt they were selling. Shun would have killed me if I had really thought of getting that boy though.)
Everything was so EXPENSIVE. On only those three things, I spent well over 100USD. Probably closer to 150USD or more. *sigh* On top of that, I bought Rui some casual girl clothes off the marketplace on Den of Angels. It's a lot cheaper, but still cost me some pocket dough. These kids better appreciate my generosity!
SD10 Kurumi 1st Version (not for sale, only display) - Can you believe that her fullset second hand market price can top 4000 USD easily?
Taipei's Official Gundam Store just right down the hallway from WingMax.
Since when did you get such a pretty girlfriend, Thack?
If I can ever afford another Volks doll, I would like to get SD13 Shiro Tachibana in this outfit. I can't resist a bad boy Shiro!
The last two photos show you some of the things they have for sale. However, this doesn't include the counter where they have eyes, tools, etc... Or the other two racks where there are more outfits up for sale. So use some imagination for that. :)
And woebegone from me - I need to fix my violin doll carrier case when I get back to the US. When I was getting on the public bus here, the freaking moron driving the bus closed the door on me prematurely. I got a bruise on my shoulder as a result, but luckily the hard cover case protected me from any further injuries. And Thackery was perfectly okay too - thank God for hard cover cases. The bad news is, the double doors snapped the strap. I can carry the case in my hands, but now I can't carry it on my back. Anyway, that was my drama on the bus, and I wish I kicked that old fart where it hurt most. Too bad I'm too nice. Now I regret NOT throwing more shit around.
*I apologize for the quality of the photos (as well as my bad language.) As you can see, my camera is getting old. I love it, but I need to let it retire one of these days.
Sincerely,
Nobody ♥
