I have finally caught up again with the manga volumes of the new release! Just received Volumes 5 and 6 yesterday.

I also realized that this means we are half way through the new release of the Sailor Moon manga! It seems like we were just finding out about getting a new release, then hearing the release dates for each volume it sounded like it would take forever to get them all, yet I'm consistently finding myself behind on the volumes! Before you know it we'll be watching the premier of the new anime (2013)!

 Finally received the Mercury/Mars Bandai Asia Star Power Stick set! I won a lot at the end of July which contained this lovely item!
After about two weeks it finally arrived!

Anyway, the box is pretty beaten up but it does not bother me much since most of my RP items don't even have their boxes! I'm glad that it is complete and there is minimal damage on the wands themselves.

These are actually a bit smaller than I expected, or at least when I hold them in my hand they look smaller than they should be, but I'm certain that this item is meant more for children so that's why.

The little heart areas are actually supposed to be nail polish. They are a bit dried up, I did open one and the nail polish was like a gel. I'm sure it wouldn't cover well anyway since it's nearly transparent. ^_^

Finally received a large lot of items today (much more than I have pictured here actually) which I won at the end of July.

The items pictured are basically everything I decided to keep. The cards are still undetermined whether I will ultimately keep them or send them off to another home, but I already have a LOT of cards in binders in my collection, so for now they can stay until I decide what to do with them.

 These three items were my main reason for buying this lot, I actually may already have the patch, but not on it's original backing. The ring was a huge bonus as I've always kind of wanted one (more about that item in a bit).
The wand set was the main thing though, basically the price I paid for the lot was maybe $20 more (with shipping) than just these wands go for! So overall I think the lot was worth it, (even if a lot of it I didn't exactly want). I don't know if I'll ever get the Venus and Jupiter set, they are always so expensive!

For those who don't recognize/know the significance of this ring: In the StarS season/arc of the anime and manga, Mamoru gives Usagi a ring which looks more or less exactly like this one, as a sign of his love. It is often referred to as Usagi's "Engagement Ring" in the manga, they are actually shown getting married with this ring on her finger!

The listing stated that the center stone was real, though I couldn't tell you for sure myself. The box also says Kay's Jewelers but I don't know yet if this is actually where this ring came from. In any case, I'm very happy to own it and to find that it actually fits on my finger! What luck!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #6

The final video I am sharing with you is of my RP Toys Collection. Now some of you know that I have more detailed photos and descriptions of my RP Items already on my blog here, but I talk a little more about some of these items in the video.

I hope you have enjoyed watching my videos! I'll admit, I was rather nervous about talking in them, but it wasn't too bad! I usually feel like I sound like a child in recordings!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #5

In this video I talk about the animation cels in my collection. Animation cels are quite a unique item as no two are exactly alike, their costs vary depending on many factors, including: the character, what they are wearing, along with the condition of the cel itself. Owning a cel is literally owning a piece of the show!

I hope you liked the video, be sure to check out my other ones!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #4

For this video I went through the Sailor Moon items on display in my living room area. This mostly consists of my DVDs, CDs, and a few games. Also the newest release of the Sailor Moon manga has found a home here.

I hope you will enjoy the video!

Sailor Moon Collection 2012 Video #3

I'm adding these two videos to the same post because they sort of go together, I originally had them as one single video but it was too large/long to upload.

I've posted photos of the shelf in the video before, but that was before I finished adding everything to it. Check out what was missing here!

The second part is largely made up of items which did not fit on the shelf, extras, or random items which really don't have a place yet.

I hope you like everything so far!

Sailor Moon 2012 Collection Video #2

The second video of my collection contains most/all of my posters and wall scrolls. Sadly I don't really have any of them on display, but I really like them anyway. If only I could find the Lifesize Jupiter Wall Scroll to go with all of my others!

Check it out here!

More videos to come in the following days!
