wew a haul after a good while
Received some stuff in the mail I've been waiting for almost 3 months(boat shipping is super slow but cheaper). I said I wouldn't buy more merch, but collecting cards has been fun, also took the opportunity to grab some books I wanted and few items I had an eye on.
All of them got them by browsing Mercari Japan.
First 3 are from the Naruto theme park. These cards are nice quality, but the metallic finish is super prone to scratches. I don't mind, aside from the faint scratches, the cards are nice.
Middle 3 are from a set Studio Pierrot released. NGL I'm disappointed by the quality of these cards, they are very translucent... The listing sold two Akimichi fam cards, so now I have two xD
Lower 3 are from a promo thingy that happened way early when the TV series launched, I think? I've seen them for a while. Nice quality with cool metallic details. Some of them had dents, but nothing too dramatic.
I have a page dedicated to group cards, First and second are Kayou's promo cards. The last ones are again SP cards(look how transparent they are!! grr)
Close up to the family one, super cute but impossible to display correctly in this binder...
Most of time I have to buy bundles where I get other characters(I have some Boruto, Sarada and Shikadai extra merch stored. If anyone wants to buy them from me, let me know I would rather them be with peep that likes these charas)
Maybe I can show my card collection so far soon. There aren't many Mitsuki and Chouchou out there tbh(I have just 3 pages full and some of them are repeats xD) I'm also trying to collect official stuff or stuff with a license.
Managed to grab these keychains for cheap too, there is just a little bit of merch of pre academy mch out there... Mitsuki got a scratch on the cloud thingy, and I kid you not IDK why Japanese official keychains are like this? They are always printed one-sided (back is white) and with 0 protection on the back. If you were to wear this outside in a bag or whatever, the design would peel...
Anyway... got the alt cover for the Gaiden... Finally! I always thought they printed an alternative batch with this cover, turns out it was just a print that came with a WSJ you had to tear and place over your own gaiden copy LOL
Together they should look like this
but ofc I forgot to buy an extra copy...
The listing came with extra stuff I don't see myself keeping...except for the black clover folder
JOKING its actually a double folder for the Sarada Gaiden(Chouchou is there, so I'm keeping it.)
This was one a last minute addition. This booklet came with the limited edition DVD of the Boruto movie. Some second-hand merch is crazy cheap idk why. I think peep just want to get rid of stuff I guess? Because I found a listing of the whole thing(DVD+ all booklets) for a similar price I paid for this(like 3 bucks…) It got some early Kishi's sketches of Mitsucho, so I had to get it.
Finally my books
Life goes on by Kathy Lam(Dawning Crow) and Ikegami Yoriyuki's Artworks. Two artists I really like and have been following for a while. It's been years since I got any sort of artbook and since I was making the order, I decided to commit.
TBH I'm kinda glad Boruto isn't that popular, if not most of this stuff wouldn't even be available, or if it was it would be more expensive :p
