My Pocketbook Weeps - Tumblr Posts

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.

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.

It Glows Flashily!

Today has been rough pain-wise and for another reason that I will not get into. However, I gratefully received something in the mail that tremendously helped make my day better.

Found this awesome sexy pin by uwupins, over on Mercari! Best part...

It flippin' sheds a glow brilliantly in the dark! Anyone who knows me, sees how much I passionately cherish things that glow!! My collection room is filled with such stuff, from stars on the decorated ceiling to figures of Nyagira Kaiju Cats! I naturally love turning the lights off in here at night and seeing all the glowing stuff coming to life!

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!!

Doesn't Get More Flashy Than Enamel Pins!

On Friday, I enthusiastically received a much needed new enamel pin board. Who knew, that there are so many glorious pins of a certain sexy clown? Wanted to naturally create a post about it yesterday, but my gaming friends kidnapped me for an all day Sea of Thieves session. Been a minute since I last did that, due to my arm pain. It was much fun and most needed. We sank many ships along the way without mercy! Total sinks in all were 3 Brigs and 4 Sloops. This one child, surprisingly was a rather foul mouthed individual!

I always enjoy meticulously arranging my treasured collections, especially enamel pins. I've naturally found creative ways to incorporate can badges and charms too!

Oh and that enamel pin of the Big Top (aka The Flashy Sails), was a precious gift from an amazing long-time friend. Like so, it was given a proper place of honor in the center. The pin itself, is made by "Hero Anthem."

Here are both pin boards beside each other. I purchased them off of Etsy, the awesome seller is "fromacat." They have all kinds of lovely colors and sizes to choose from. The first one was acquired back in January, has it actually been that long already?

The new pin board wasn't all that came Friday, I got some boxes of One Piece cards too!

Out of all these cards, not a single one of Buggy. Boo! Oh well, I really like the cards included with this set. The plan is to get more, when money permits. It gives me something to look forward to during the challenging difficulties I've been experiencing. Luckily, things have been getting better for me.

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!

Time For Christmas In July!! *woot*

It's here!!! *screams*

Really glad that this wondrous package came today! It has been an unpleasant one dealing with "R." This isn't the proper time or place to talk about what unfortunately happened, as I don't want to pollute my Buggy collection posts with real-life drama. Preferably, it is time to enjoy what typically makes me happy and has been keeping me sane!

The box from Japan will be opened real soon, probably right after this is posted! *is excited* Not sure if I will get around to posting the new goodies tonight? There is some new art I naturally need to work on as well.

Christmas In July Unboxed!

Time for that flashy collection update, hooray!!!

This is what was all inside the wondrous box. Buyee consistently does a brilliant job with their packaging, though I also pay for the extra protection. Gotta keep my precious Buggy stuff safe after all!

Minutes after the box was carefully emptied, it was quickly claimed by a furry grey potato. Jiraiya is the best little assistant and clearly loves when Mom receives large Japan packages. *LOL*

While everything in the package is beyond sexy, this is likely the most unusual item I eagerly awaited. Clearly this is a reproduction, but it is official and ordinarily had a limited release. No, it isn't yellowed either. That is just my awful worn camera for you. If I stopped purchasing Buggy stuff, then maybe a new camera could be afforded? *hum*

There will be respectively a bunch of cards, not quite sure what my apparent obsession with them is? I just know that my poor binders are over following.

This specific card came out in 2002. I genuinely enjoy the fact that it is embossed which gives the card more flashy flare! Very happy that I stumbled upon it.

The two distinct cards, all the way on the left were an interesting find. They came from a specific set called, "One Piece Kings" and were produced in 2014. So, the one at the top left was labeled as a "tournament prize" by the seller. Not sure if it truly is? No matter what, I still treasure it the same way I naturally do with all my precious Buggy cards.

Eeyup, more amazing Buggy cards. The one in the upper left-hand corner is a holo too!

Finally moving away from the cards, for now. The MVP of this photo is the flip flop charm with Buggy's Jolly Roger! This notable item was such a random find. I traditionally knew that if I didn't buy it, there would be much regret. Indeed, the oddly unique charm is official and another one has not been seen by me since.

Those rubber coasters are the best thing ever! Not sure if I will properly utilize the spare one? I would absolutely hate insulting a certain clown by placing my tumbler on his sexy face. All the same, my tumbler is unsurprisingly Buggy themed too.

Yes, the interesting blue watch is not of Buggy. Oh, the unspeakable shame, but the watch is SO me! A battery is just required to get it running again. The watch is even brand new and never worn too!

The clearfile to the right additionally includes Marineford stickers of Buggy and Mr. 3.

No order from Japan is complete without some doujin. *wink*

The talented artist who made,"Go Go!! Cross Guild" exhibits an incredible sense of humor. It is possible I will display some images of the inside here sometime. Buggy actually puts on a suit and looks rather sexy, yum! *drools*

Last two items are Mercari gets that showed up on the same day.

That's it for this update. I some how managed to discover suitable places for almost everything, but three specific items. Currently, another box is being filled too. There is a unique keychain plush that will hopefully be among the next lot.

He can beat the Navy if he goes all out!

My Lego Buggy finally arrived today!! *woot* He's so flashily adorable! I CHERISH HIM!!! A small protective case has been ordered for him too. Meantime, he will be on my desk, staring at me ever so menacingly.

My Hat Got A Small, But Flashy New Addition!

Bought this amazing hat off of Temu back in February. I often like personalizing my hats and bags. Therefore, I sewed on the distinct patch and added the little knife wielding kitteh pins. *is intrigued by kittehs with knives* However, the hat was lacking something…

Stumbled upon this little pin on eBay of Buggy's Jolly Roger. Instantly knew it would be perfect! There is a small possibility, that one day I'll post a pic of myself wearing it? *is camera shy*

Another find on Temu; I typically see Buggy and insta buy, LOL!! Furthermore, card sleeves and protectors were needed anyway. A rare card that I've been seeking and never thought would be found is on the way! It should be here tomorrow!! OMG, my passionate excitement can't be contained!!! *screams*

Speaking of cards, this one arrived a couple of days ago. The kind seller included a cute little thank you and bonus Buggy.

Yes, I'm A Mature Adult!

My Friend: Now this is going to be a must-have for you I'm sure! *links image of upcoming Hipshop One Piece underwear* Me: *giggling* OMG, I must have those sexy Buggy ones!! *hum* Not sure if I would actually wear them though? My Friend: You could always put them on the wall. My Therapist: Yes, display them on your wall! My therapist was in agreement, clearly and without a doubt, it had to happen! *lol*

Endless Treasure Indeed!

From the precise moment I discovered the existence of this card, it ended up rather high on the want list! In fact, at the very top!!

As far as alternate art cards go, there is something really sexy and special about this one in my eyes. The odds of obtaining what I sought, were very much not in my favor sadly. The card in question can only be extracted from the bonus promo pack in the box. This realistically was, in fact a lucky Mercari find!

A pic with the flash, which undoubtedly helps to properly show of this card's brilliant colors. A magnetic case with a black boarder was purchased with this gorgeous card in mind too.

For those curious, the set it comes from is "Endless Treasure 7." I've additionally noticed the set referred to as, "Grand Line 27 Year of the Dragon."

Still hard to believe it is at long last ultimately MINE!!! *screams*

Like Undies On My Wall!

I feel like the Buggy underwear, that's hanging on my wall, rightfully deserves a proper post, LOL!! A post that sufficiently shows off the box and both sides of the garment itself!

Not sure why the word "UNDERPANTS" above Buggy's sexy head makes me giggle? That's right, because I am indeed a mature adult!

Maybe, the box should be properly hung on the wall too? *hum* It is an excellent work of art also!

I undoubtedly enjoy the color of these so much, brilliant shades of turquoise and teal. Who knows, maybe I'll purchase a second pair and actually wear them? *giggles*

In addition, I acquired this extremely cool pin by Rosekorbin. The seller had three unique pins in the lot and was kind enough to just sell me this one.

It's amazingly glittery and flashy, genuinely love the blue metal too! Apparently, only 25 were made?!

Card Addict!

What can be said? Cards are small, unique and fun to collect!

This one didn't even cost $1.00 off of eBay. The artistic imagery narrates a fun tale of mischief; I cherish it.

This is the flashiest of today's card gets! A large card, from 2000 featuring Buggy. Damn, I genuinely love that man's nose!

While Buggy's crossbones make-up remains my favorite, I really like the fun creativity done with the green circles. How it's artfully combined with the bandana is extremely clever.

The seller that I purchased some of the cards from was rather kind and included these too. Bonus Buggy items are always welcome and make my day.

A Very Special Day For My Man!

While it isn't 8-8 where I am yet, it is in Japan! So, that means it is officially Buggy's birthday!! *hooray* In honor, I decided to finally share my most prized collectable of the sexiest flashy clown pirate ever!

I consider myself very fortunate to have gotten my paws on such a glorious, rare and rather old genga! This was for a specific sequence in the 5th episode entitled: "Fear, Mysterious Power! Pirate Clown Captain Buggy!"

The very animation sequence in the above GIF as a matter of fact!

I treasure this genga more than any words can say. Every time I happen to gaze upon it; a cheerful smile is brought to my silly face.

Buggy Card Heaven!

I purchased a unique Buggy card off of Mercari. To my pleasant surprise, the generous seller sent me some extras too!!

The card on the left is the original one that was initially purchased. While not the most diehard fan of the right card's creative art, I will gladly add it to the collection. Ultimately, I willingly take in all the Buggys!! *lol*

Not only did the seller include a bunch of bonus cards, but there was an unopened pack too. Would you believe my dumb luck?! I pulled a Buggy card, the one that reads "NOVA" on the left.

Just some more fun cards of Buggy looking hot in his Marineford outfit.

Not going to lie, but the manga cover one, it's already in my extensive collection. However, I sincerely appreciate me some duplicates! It traditionally makes for fun and creative rearranging in the collection binder.

On Monday, when the above items arrived, I also got some card boxes. The below lenticular was pulled from those, but the rare cards I eagerly seek from the set still allude me.

This sexy and flashy wanted poster, arrived on the 8th. I just held off on sharing it until now.

I do have some packages full of Buggy coming from Japan. My bigger EMS box, the tracking has not updated since the 10th. I so hope it isn't lost! There is some rare and sexy Buggy stuff in it…

Some Of My Flashy Treasures!

Some necessary rearranging was done to part of my constantly growing Buggy collection yesterday.

This was in preparation for an extremely sexy garage kit that will be arriving in September. A suitable spot in my display cabinet needed to be cleared out.

I can barely contain the joyous excitement!! My order was placed back in January of this year. The garage kit is being slowly sent by sea mail. My longtime friend made the comment that Buggy is crossing oceans to get to me. *lol*

Pink Isn't My Color!

This morning, a small but important package from Japan was delivered to my door!

Clearly, it was filled with the flashiest clown in existence!! It seems boxes filled with Buggy are all I ever receive in the mail anymore. *lol*

Okay, normally pink isn't my favorite color. There isn't a single piece of pink clothing in the closet as a matter of fact! Though for my dear Captain Buggy, I shall embrace this color and naturally wear him proudly!

The magnet actually has a matching can badge (already acquired) and acrylic keychain too. The keychain will be coming in my next large box from Japan. My precious box that has been stuck in shipping limbo since the 10th!!! I truly hope it makes it here! There are some rare things, that I sincerely doubt can be replaced. *cries*

The final item is the key reason for this order! This fan is SO sexy, OMG! *melts* I'll try to get better pics of it at some point. Depends on my health I'm afraid.

Some cards plus a big Japan box are making their way to me! As I mentioned, tracking has stopped for my package filled with treasures. I know this can unfortunately happen with EMS. How it will just appear at ones doorstep randomly one day. In fact, the Buggy plush, pictured in the first photo did just that. *lol*

He Flashily Makes His Entrance!

Got this Buggy Character Collection Can (CharaColleCan for short) in the mail today. He was part of the first batch to release back in November 2002. I genuinely enjoy old figures like this; they possess their own unique personality. In addition, there is a very sexy wanted poster included.

The EMS package I've been pacing the floor about, finally made it to the US today! *hooray* Oh and it is out of customs too, so the treasure filled package should be here at the beginning of the week most likely! As long as my silly health continues to behave, I'll show off all the new Buggy goodies sometime next week.
