Bar counter set. My favourite now. This cost 2500 yen in Japan, but I paid
three times as much from a local shop. I now buy from Yahoo Japan
myself.

[Aug 2004] Just released! Going for about 2600 yen on Yahoo Japan.
However, I got it at HLJ at 4200 yen (before shipping). HLJ is always
more expensive, but sometimes its price is ridiculous.
(Note that it works out to be about the same after all the
commissions and charges.)

I don't like how they made Fujiko's breast so big. There is such a
thing as disproportional, and is very distracting (in a bad way). This is
a problem with anime figures in general. You'll think anime fans are
attracted by breasts, the bigger the better! :-D (Well, up to a point...)

[Jan 2005] Almost didn't manage to get this. Pre-ordered at Hobby Search
months ago, didn't realize my credit card expired in November, so my order
got cancelled. Luckily HLJ still has it, due to its high price. :-) (3920
yen vs 2831 yen)

I don't normally display the chips because they are very easy to lose.

Comes with a deck of cards, including the box! However, you need to
tear from the leaflet to do so. I haven't decided to tear or not.

Vignette Collection 7. I find all the figures are very well-posed. I like
only one or two figures in the other sets, so I didn't get them.
The Vignette Collection series cost more than the gashapons.
The gashapon sets range from 500 yen to 1800 yen, while this series
usually start at 1500 yen.

 |
Despite being slightly smaller than the gashapons, the quality is
noticeably one notch higher.
Notice that some of the figures have painted-on shadows!

I wonder why there are two Fujiko's? Is it supposed to be a mirror
reflection?
The only fault I can find is that Fujiko is slightly smaller than the
other figures.

The boxes, figure no. 31 to 35.
