Mission accomplished: Animate AV Fair Winter 2007

(tags telephone card, anime, Animate, ECsite, gift)

Animate once again comes up with the evil marketing plan with their "AV Fair Winter 2007" (2007年 アニメイト 冬のAVまつり). Buy any AV related goods such as anime DVDs or soundtracks, CD dramas, and you get scratch cards, 1 per 1000 yen. Scratch it off to get anywhere from 1 to 5 points. Hey, I did this before (2006/08, 2003/12).

This time, though, the mission is accomplished. Behold!

Animate's AV Fair promotion 2007 Winter: Library Cards of "Shana", "Nanoha A's", "Zero no Tsukaima". 「2007年アニメイト 冬のAVまつり40点景品」: 図書カード「灼眼のシャナ」、「なのは A's」、「ゼロの使い魔」。

These aren't telephone cards, but more useful "library cards" (図書カード). They are (from left) "Shana" 「灼眼のシャナ」, "Nanoha A's" 「なのは A's」, and "Zero no Tsukaima" 「ゼロの使い魔」. Each of them is 40 points.

I had a good string of luck this time:

Animate's AV Fair promotion 2007 Winter: 2, 4 and 2 points.
2, 4, and 2 points.

Animate's AV Fair promotion 2007 Winter: 2, 2, 2, 2, 5, and 5 points
2, 2, 2, 2, 5, and 5 points.

The first card I wanted was "Nanoha A's". I thought I'd stop there. Then I got the idea of getting another card. Luckily I lucked out with the multi-point cards and a mint condition used "Shana" at Books Lashinbang (Nipponbashi). So I got the "Zero" with the second set of 40 points, and bought the "Shana" at 3000 yen. So I "cheated".

And I still have some points left... What to do, what to do.
