I've been doing my mandatory military service of one year for the last 3 weeks. Today is the first day off where you can leave base for about 8 hours. I just want to let you guys know that I have very little free time to update until I complete the first five weeks of basic training (the last time I was able to go online was 1/31).
We spend most of our time marching, singing navy songs, doing ship-saving exercises and swimming. Unfortunately most of it will be for naught as I will be joining the ROC Navy Honour Guards once basic training ends on 3/13. The training there will be brutal I hear but at least we get two days off a week to recuperate. Until then it's prison chow and meal time "drills".
It's not all bad though. I've met some good folks. That and I've really come to appreciate the things I used to take for granted, like having enough time to take a dump.
4 hours left before I have to return to base. I'm going to read up on WF2012 Winter for a bit before then.
Sorry but I won't be able to cover this one at all.

Treasure Festival in Ariake 6
Kobe 3 was disappointing. It had the misfortune of being scheduled too closely after the major summer event. Even though a large number of dealers were present at Kobe, they were still carrying the same old goods. Not surprisingly, the event was glanced over by most (myself included).
"Sea Girl" from SAGAMI FC
"Yukiko-hime" from essence
"Mikazuki Yozora 4" from Seidou Circus
"Kashiwazaki Sena 2" from Seidou Circus
"Hatsune Miku" from Toushirou
"Hatsune Miku 2020" from Grizzry Panda
"Akemi Homura" from Grizzry Panda
"Merry Nightmare" from Ringo Renmei
"Maekawa-san" from Doll House Utsunomiya
While I'm happy to see more GK events like Garage Works Communication, it's still too small in scale to be compared to the likes of Wonder Festival or even Treasure Festival (only 27 dealers were present at GWC act.9). It's just too unsatisfying as a filler event.
In the month leading up to Ariake 6 I'd been taking note of all the cool new kits, but at the time of writing this post I'm still frantically taking notes thanks to a good number of dealers withholding info until the last minute. Let's just say I'm a bit overwhelmed right now.
(DAMN IT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE UP BEFORE THE ACTUAL EVENT!!! Orz)
"Sea Girl" from SAGAMI FC
"Yukiko-hime" from essence
"Mikazuki Yozora 4" from Seidou Circus
"Kashiwazaki Sena 2" from Seidou Circus
"Hatsune Miku" from Toushirou
"Hatsune Miku 2020" from Grizzry Panda
"Akemi Homura" from Grizzry Panda
"Merry Nightmare" from Ringo Renmei
"Maekawa-san" from Doll House Utsunomiya
"Acony" from Nikemeyo
I had to remove a good number of kits from this list after realizing that they were either a) unavailable until WF2012, b) a color resin kit, c) a PVC, d) old, or e) not really that great.
My favorites are "Hatsune Miku", "Maekawa-san" and "Acony". They're the only three that I would consider adding to my collection.
Now I just need to see the first two in color. >_>
