Christmas In June!

Christmas in June!

Yesterday, a rather large package from Japan arrived, thanks to Buyee. Opening it made me feel like a kid during Christmas morning, even if I knew what was waiting inside. Mail days like this really help keep me going. Especially, with the arm pain I've been enduring and the mental stress Rodney's worsening dementia is putting me under. I do plan to have this blog be more active. It's just the issue going on with my arm, is making it rather difficult to type and sit in front of the PC for long. I've been seeing a Chiropractor 3 times a week, as what is happening with my body, is on the borderline of needing surgery. They would have to fuse two vertebrae in my neck. A disc in my neck has thinned badly, this has caused one of my vertebrae to shift and pinch a main nerve that runs down my left arm. I've been in horrific pain for a month now, some nights getting little to no sleep. Don't ask me how I have not lost my marbles by now?! One day, I was so close to just giving up. Then I opened a box of One Piece cards I received. Out of the first couple packs, I kid you not, I pulled two different cards of Buggy! Yes, a silly as it sounds, a certain pirate clown helps to keep me going.

Buggy Kind Of A Monday, Woot!

More fun items of my favorite pirate clown arrived today. Hooray!! Gotta genuinely appreciate how everything seems to arrive all at once, LOL!!

The golden card contains real gold in it. Not enough to write home about, but it is there. I actually pulled the Charlotte Linlin version of this rare card and naturally wondered if Buggy might have one too?! My question was answered when this sexy piece of flashiness was listed for sale.

It even came with a certificate, same with the Charlotte Linlin card I have. Not sure where to display this card amongst my extensive collection?!

The seller was incredible and included several Buggy card bonuses. It always makes my day when people go the extra mile like this. Best part, I didn't have any of these yet, despite an overflowing card book.

Here are more glorious cards that were obtained by me. I'm particular about alternate art of a character I passionately love, like Buggy. There is just something unique about the art of the card on the left, which I couldn't resist. In addition, it also has a serial number.

Now this one, I legitimately thought lost to the USPS void. Imagine my joyful surprise when it was sitting in the mailbox today. Glad it showed up after all, as I have not seen this listed anywhere else.

The creative art on the magnet pictured below is one of my favorites. Especially of Buggy in a kimono, which I have a big soft spot for.

The kind seller even included this adorable sticker!

Last of today's amazing Buggy gets is this rubber charm, which was apart of the Stampede movie merch. I was truly tired of eyeing it and didn't want to miss out.

From the looks of things, I will receive one unique hand done item tomorrow. At that point there will be a dry spell. Boo!! However, I will enthusiastically receive a box from Buyee before too long.

A Late But Flashy Update!

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind, but I've fortunately had things to look forward to in the mail. Figured it best to show off my recent gets before the next package from Japan arrives. Oh and that specific package has hit customs!! *woot*

Let's naturally go in order of when my newest Buggy gets were received!

This is a unique custom made top loader, which I found over on Mercari. The crafter is the seller "min ୨୧," they thoughtfully included a ton of cute little extras too. Typically, I only photographed the sexy Buggy stuffs.

Stumbled upon this desirable, (love me some Impel Down Buggy) decal sticker over on Amazon. No, he won't be going on a car, though. Kind of hard to do so, when one has no car.

Bought the holo card of Impel Down Buggy, the seller was truly kind and threw in some extremely nice freebies.

Now, this flashy pin…I had no idea how huge it would actually be! OMG, I truly treasure it, though!! The pin was originally produced and sold by "Top Chi Creations."

Look how adorable Buggy is there just sipping on his soda!! Also, those little Buggy plush in the crane machine are way too cute! I would typically say, another favorite card. However, all the Buggy cards I have are undoubtedly my favorites. *lol*

The last item is the coolest shirt ever! Made by "Skaars" and labeled as a "bootleg." All I know is, I set my annoying alarm to be up at 6am, to make sure this shirt would be mine. *isn't an early riser*

Alrighty, next update will presumably be when the decently sized Japan box arrives. However, I still need too share pictures of the full collection, especially my most prized item!

My Flashy Haul!

This is an ideal time to show off all the goodies that came in that enormous box from Japan on Monday. Plus, other cool stuff I've acquired over the week! First up is this sexy mint in box Buggy Samurai figure by D.P.C.F-DX!

This brilliant figure is even more amazing then I could have ever anticipated! Well worth every penny, even the pennies on shipping!! Admittedly, I didn't expect it to be quite so, um...big though, LOL!! Will I eventually remove him from the box? I'm hesitant of that at this time, space being a contributing factor. Next up we have a variety of goodies! Yes, there will be lots of can badges; I seem to like them and cards/flats a lot!

I finally was able to snag the Mascolle Great Deep figure of Buggy for a reasonable price! Seems like he is moderately obscure to find too, but now I don't need to worry. The hunt was successful and is now over, woot!!!

The volleyball Buggy can badge is one of the best things ever! A fun addition to my ever growing collection. A mutual friend of mine wisely said that Buggy should be banned from sports, LOL!! As previously mentioned, I seem to have a soft spot for flats. While some specific items in this group are duplicates, there were a lot of intriguing things I didn't own yet, but had been eyeballing.

Besides, I couldn't pass on the "Buggy Conspirators" sticker. One thing I often seek out is unique items, and that sticker seems to be rather different. I honestly can't believe how many can badges that are in my collection at this point, LOL!! They are located in various suitable places around my collection room. The plan is to eventually take individual photos of every item I've obtained.

The face can badge, from what I perceive was part of a special promo this year for the 25th anniversary of One Piece. They took 10,000 face images from the manga and made them into can badges. Best part, no two are alike! I purposely obtained this one, as it is from Impel Down. The part where Buggy goes to kick out a Muggy Ball at Minotaurus. The nose can badge was a fun find too, apparently it is relatively old! Here is the last group of items from the glorious box of flashy goodies. The box that made my entire week as I I grinned like a Cheshire Cat.

There are in fact 8 of the birthday can badges, LOL!! I might have to create me an itabag with all the extras, it would make for a fun project. Oh and the art on the Amada sticker is beyond sexy!! *drools* I treasure it more then words can express!! Yeah, it doesn't take much to make me happy. Now onto the other items I received throughout this week.

I really like the composition of this card. It's a card, which has been on my radar for a bit and was ultimately able to snag for an affordable price. This is where you all will find out that I am an immature 2 year old.

This card set was mainly purchased because it mentions "Buggy Balls," LOL!! Eh, I'm a kid at heart, what can I say? Last, but not least is this rather flashy keychain of Buggy at Marineford.

Done for now, though there is one other item I could add to this for funsies. However, it is my most prized item of the Star Clown. I think it should receive a post all its own.

Tired old man

Some Flashy Cards! Oh, And A Adorable Sticker.

No Buggy goodies in today's mail. Boo! However, on Monday I joyfully received some new additions! I genuinely wanted to share these yesterday, but my ongoing pain issue can naturally make it hard. Today is not only a new day, but a splendid one for posting and sharing!

I want to start eagerly by saying how absolutely adorable and "purr-fect" the sticker by Nominno is! Just look at the shackle on the kitteh's little tail. Awwww! By all means, I'm absolutely a cat person! I sometimes wonder if my determined fate is to end up an old eccentric cat lady? Hum...

Now for some unique cards. We'll start with the stamp one, that has a sexy prismatic sheen to it! Though it looks like the obnoxious camera didn't capture very effectively. A new camera is on the wants list. If only I'd stop buying Buggy things so I could comfortably afford one, LOL!!

The final item for today is this stunning One Py Berry Match card that has undoubtedly had me drooling for a bit. Whelp, now I can physically drool on the card. Not that it would actually happen, or would it? You never know about me, LMAO!!
