20090602 Giveaway - Final Round
The final round will decide who gets the 1/7 scale Signum kindly being given up for adoption by the good comrades at HobbyLink Japan.
Those who answered "Dollfie parts" or similar in round two go through to the final round. I say "final round" because the possibilities of two or more people guessing the same will be remote.
But lets have a look at what was inside the box first! The spare M bust belonged to Saber and the L bust is the new one unpainted. Which would you fit your daughter with?
Photo below taken in the middle of painting. To see how I painted them, check the BJD photo article. Number of Dollfie owners on DC seems to be growing ^o^. Do you paint in your daughters pupils or leave em blank?
And as for the final question - how much does this red chair cost?
Clues:-
-Spotted at Lalaport Toyosu http://toyosu.lalaport.jp/
-Comes with an audio system fitted in the chair - attach an iPod or any other music source and you will be able to hear the sound through the sofa.
-saberxarrowupwardstwomai.
-Dont worry about tax
Rules:-
-Include a link to your previous correct answer from round two.
-Your answer must be in the form of:-
"20000 yen"
and not
"20,000 yen"
-You got one guess.
-Folks who answered more than once last time do not qualify.
Arms installation is complete - Good Luck!
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.

Oh, and BTW< I'd paint my dollfie's "eyes" after a bit of "enhancement" with a drop or two of acrylate to "level up" a bit.... then a 'lil bit of pink or blush, and a wash of light brown to enhance the "eyelids".......

Wow, I didn't expect "Dollfie parts" to actually pass that round.. o.o It sounded so general ^^; Anyways, good luck those who are participating!
Chair with audio system sounds cool enough. But wonder how is the sound quality.. don't cushion/fabric absorb soundwaves? Correct me if I'm wrong ^^;

I think I know what store this is from, but it's hard to gauge the price...
I think I'm probably underestimating by a lot, but how about
51000 yen
in any case...dude those chairs look super comfy...where can i get one of those in the states? My best guess would probably be Ikea lol

I was one who fell at the first hurdle, but I wouldn't have made it past the second, and I have no idea about this round at all! Good luck to those that remain.
I think I must be getting old, but I am prefring the dolfie bodies with the smaller eyes. Looking at the survey though, it seems I am not alone. Could this be a poke in the eye for cosmetic surgeons? Ladies take note!

they are the kind of chairs you look back at in 10 years and say to yourself "good god...what was I ever thinking"

I think i'll prefer M bust over L ones, but the Asuka i'm gonna get will have both, i'll be able to compare ^_^. Pupils will not be drawn right now, i might shade the whole body and paint the pupils later, when i'm better at using an airbrush...
Anyway, good luck to the winner of 2nd round !

No idea what the saber clue means. Probably was important. Oh well!

Umm, not sure if my comment made sense, but when I said without tax I actually calculated out the 5% sales tax. That's what I thought the rule meant... I don't want to answer twice but I think I messed that one up T_T

Well, here goes:
At first I thought that the hint was that the hint implied that the price would be between a Saber Dollfie (150,000) and your Daughters combined (Aoi@39,900 and Nanoha@75600 = 115,500). However, I just can't believe that the chair costs over a grand (Though looking at the competitions comments, I guess they can). So then I thought that maybe the hint means that it's the difference between the two, which gives me a more exact number.
TL;DR: 34500 yen
Of course, by that logic it could also be 0, because you got all your dollfies for free.
PS: I also considered the possibility that saberx is supposed to lead me to some article, and then arrowupwards means to scroll up. Of course, in this situation, I don't know what twomai means.

mmmhh.... wild guessing 399000 yen.
the clue was "saber x ^2 mai" meaning probably "saber price" x "mai price"^2 whatever mai is...
good luck everybody

I think twomai = nimai = x2, but then I didn't get what the first part meant so that's moot.

Hmmm... Those chairs look like their from one of those over-the-top "we're so trendy" shops that sell you stuff for triple what I'd pay, so since I'd pay ¥50,000 max, I'd say they're asking for ¥150,000... ^^;
For whatever reason those chairs strike me as one of those things that look nice at the store and then for about a month after you bought them, and then get on your nerves... and it also looks like the kind of stuff that after 5 years of wear would start looking truly ghetto...
