If you dropped by the english site of Amiami yesterday you probably noticed that they changed their site design. Not sure if its entirely new or they copied it from their Japanese site? They also wrote a post on the changes to expect in the newly revised site.

Just got this in my inbox, Online Hobby Retailer, HobbyLink Japan, announced another round of discounted postal EMS Shipping for the Christmas Holidays. You get to pay only 2000 yen for the max sized EMS shipping box on the condition that you buy an item from their special sale first then include the other items on your purchase list. This discounted shipping promotion will last from 6pm December 8 till 6pm December 22, 2011 (Japan Standard Time; GMT+9)

CDJapan just announced today the start of their Autumn Clearance sale, sale will end on October 30, 2011 at 11PM Japan Standard Time

Update: One year after buying this, I noticed that there was some visible dust forming already on the glass shelves. Guess nothing is really perfect in this world. At least compared to my leaving them on an open shelf where they’ll get dusty after just a few days, this is still a good option.

Its been 5 months since I decided to have a $90 display case fabricated to place my toys & model kit collection in and I have to say that it was a worthy investment. The fabricator gave me the option of a cabinet door type or a sliding door type. I chose the sliding door type so as to save space and so that I can easily lock it. Turns out that that was a good option to take for me.
