Lovely Lovely Treasure Boxes and Insta-buy failed

(tags character goods, showcase, DVD, promotion, Sofmap, Nipponbashi, used, game, Ikaruga)

Sofmap Saurus 1 in Nanba "Den-Den Town" has the "Treasure Box" floor, a floor full of show cases. Lucky I saw some Rozen Maiden (ローゼンメイデン) related goods, the "Ashiya Ningyou Kanshasai" pencil card shown below:

I really like this illustration because Hina-Ichigo (pink, middle) is really cute in it. Tomoe in the miko dress is a doll as well, but it seems out of character. Jun and Shinku (right) just look out of place. It was 1000 yen, which I thought was a rip off after I saw that it had some deep scratches. Thems the breaks in the world of pencil card collecting. I wasn't able to go to that Rozen Maiden event, ugh.

In the same case, there were promotional DVDs for recent/upcoming anime series. I grabbed Asatte no Houkou (あさっての方向) and Saint October (セイントオクトーバー). The latter is some "gothic lolita" themed fight adventure from Konami. Gos-gos rori rori, indeed.

While in Nipponbashi "Den-den Town" I happened to see a couple of copies of Silhouette Mirage for the PlayStation 1. As a Ikaruga fan, owning this game would be a logical extension, due to the fact that Ikaruga's color gimmick gameplay was extended from this game. But alas, I couldn't get myself to "Buy it now!" for 9200 yen. Maybe next time.
