20090415 Giveaway Winner
Congrats to member Char who guesses 46,447 yen and wins a Nendoroid of his choice with an exclusive Nendoroid Calendar which never went on sale and was made just for internal use and industry folks.
Regarding Char's answer - there is actually no decimals in Japanese currency but is still the closest to the total of what I spent at Ikea.
The receipt that Saber holds shows the total of 46,027 yen.
But what about the food? Don't have the receipt so here is a break down.
-Meat balls 495 yen
-Curry rice 595 yen
-Pie 495 yen
-Morning plate 99 yen
-Ice Cream 50 yen
-Drinks 200 yen
Total = 47,961 yen
Char's answer of 46,447 yen was 1,514 yen off.
Food prices were scattered around the Ikea site:-
http://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/store/tsuruhama/restaurant
http://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/store/shinmisato/restaurant
http://www.ikea.com/jp/ja/store/kohoku/restaurant
Char, please contact me at [support at dannychoo dot com] and tell me what Nendoroid you want - HobbyLink Japan will send it to you together with the Nendoroid Calendar.
This giveaway is brought to you by the good folks at HobbyLink Japan.
Next giveaway imminent - Figma of your choice. Arms installation is nearly complete.
And while we are here, I'd like to show off some new kit for Saber-chan by the most talented Chun at Puppy Dolls!.
If you want made-to-order clothes for your daughter then Chun is fast and offers the best quality at competitive prices.
With Aoi-chan.
Close up of Aoi-chan.
Cuuuute!
And a sneek peek of today's Doll Show at Take Shiba near Hamamatsucho. Took a ton of photos - the first report up tomorrow morning.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

TOTAL 44,206 YEN
In the end it looks like i missed a couple of items, and the prices for what i got were abit off. I thought i did well, though the only thing that worried me were the price of the biscuits, initially i thought it was about 800ish 900ish yen, but i looked at the price of it here in the uk, which was about £2.50, so i just doubled that and made it look a bit more japanish in price.
Not sure if danny mentioned the blue box which looked like biscuits, how much was it?

Blue biscuits?
Student
http://asianmoviereviews.wordpress.com
yea, you got a blue box which contains what looks like biscuits, its in the pictures when you are loading up your car. unless you didn't buy them (i.e. freebie). was i right in thinking the ginger biscuits (or oat crisps)? check out http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/49650057 . thats what i though it was.

Mamamia! I didn't even notice them. Wifey must have picked them up and stashed them away somewhere. Will have a look in the kitchen and find out how much they are.

Damn you Danny, you keep enticing and tormenting us with those nice photos of your Dollfies, you are making them look so tempting. >_<
Saber looks so cute, the Aoi face actually never appealed to me but the Saber face is so cute. If they'd make an Aria Dollfie or Aria undine uniforms for Dollfies I'd have to get one. Somehow I'm glad they don't. ^^;;

I'm looking forward to the doll show pictures. I can't afford a dollfie right now so pictures will have to act as surrogates. XD
