I love how sincere and funny you are, I can feel your excitement through the screen! This was a good start for my morning, thank you & Merry Christmas!
@@daniellefreiwah and one last thing i check your TH-cam account like every week, it's like your TH-cam videos was part of my weekly watch list here in TH-cam. I know you thought some negative sometimes.. But you're doing great Danielle. Take care always and welcome ❤️😊😊
Merry Christmas! Great haul!! It was awesome to see all the boxes slowly disappear as you opened them! I'm glad you like the Chika bunny (cancelling her is sacrilege)
Oh my god you had me dead with the bidding war story for the kaneki figure lmaoooo 😂😂😂 But this video was a wonderful Christmas surprise! It always makes my day seeing you in my sub box, I hope you have been having a great holiday season and a great day! 🎄
I also bought the Kaneki figure and i can definitely say the figure looks 100 times better in person, I looked at every inch of the figure and honestly it is the most perfect and my favorite figure I’ve ever gotten
Your too funny! 🤣 I was more entertained by the stories of how you acquired your merch and your excitement when opening the packages 📦 than the actual merch itself 😋 Good hefty haul regardless.
Yes I watched the whole video. Lol Thank you for this huge haul video. I consider this a early morning Christmas gift. Haha Merry Christmas everyone!!!
I'm glad I stopped collecting scale statues years ago and started focusing on 6 inch imports. If I didn't I'd be screwed as a Canadian. Thankfully though amiami still does offer airmai(which is wayyy cheaper than DHL) for smaller items under 8000 yen, so I can keep importing from them but sadly I'm limited only to them right now since they're the only ones offering airmail to Canada.
@@hasniichasnii7671 Mainly Bandai like S.H. Figuarts. No, Airmail is still available here but in my experience it's only amiami offering it for smaller items under 8000 yen. I'm unsure why amiami are the only ones right now but if I had to guess it's because amiami is a much bigger company than the smaller Japanese retailers and fit the criteria or can afford to pay whatever fees to offer airmail still
You're so genuine it brings me a lot of joy just to see you nerd out the same way I do haha. Happy New Year! And it also makes me feel a bit better that I'm not the only one struggling with shipping to Canada haha.
I didn't know Canada only had DHL available at the moment. It must suck paying custom fees so often, I have yet to pay custom fees here in America, but there is one order in the near future that I am worried about and will probably pay a fee for the first time. Keep up the great videos!
This Roy looks so good under the right lights, with a bit of work on angle and positioning, together with Alphonse and Edward GEM and the new Greed GEM it's a treat for the eye. Btw that's exactly how my room looks when I get new display cases, Impressive to be able to make as much of a mess with anime merch 🤣
Yes Shonen Jump issues are usually that big and thick, and it's not uncommon in Japan to see the random issue left by a rubbish bin in the subway station because someone had finished reading it and didn't want to carry it for the rest of the day. Hah.
Love watching your video. How you fawn over the merch, that the genuine reaction of fangirl 😆 I got excited whenever you open up JJK merch. Btw, the one with gojo on cover, it’s Jump Giga, release every few month (Gojo is summer issue) and contains manga from newcomer. I have it too and it was war trying to order online. It’s actually cheap but the weight omg shipping is crazy 😅 I guess you fighting with a sniper bidder? I use fromjapan to bid in yahoo auction. What I do is set the max amount I’m willing to pay and the system will automatically bid at the very last minute with the minimum increment till someone outbid the max I set.
I know your pain regarding both DHL and the disappointing Amiami cards. DHL is the only way to get packages from Japan to Australia too, and some of the things I want are almost the same price again to get them shipped! :'( and the new cards are fun but nowhere near as good as they used to be. My fridge is covered with old cards, but not with any of the comic style cards. :/
The acrylic Rins you got are both so cute! I try so hard to stay away from acrylic stands but they keep making so many aesthetic variations of them these days. Luka's kimono is absolutely beautiful. Great haul! I can't believe the Fruits Basket Another volumes are so pricey now. I got mine from RightStufAnime but I'm in the US so shipping may be more for Canada.
I was shopping and unboxing vicariously through you. I honestly took a long break from spending on these kinds of things and I miss it. I also miss watching videos like these, forgot how much joy it brings :] Glad you got to check so much off your list.. but we all know you'll have a new list of wants very soon haha. Great video! Enjoyed it very much! Hope your holidays have been amazing!
Yes, Shonen Jump is normally that thick, if not a hint lighter. And while some people collect anything, SJ magazines are printed on cheap paper because they're supposed to be disposable like the news paper, tho you can find them at used book stores in Japan.
On the Barnes and Noble website, Fruits Basket Another vol. 1 and vol. 3 are restocking online in March. Vol. 2 is currently available. Not sure if this is helpful, but just in case
Merry Christmas! No need to apologize for or rush through showing off your non-figure merchandise! You're a very fun person to watch regardless of what you post. And LOL at the bidding war story! I actually do something similar on Ebay auctions. If I know that I'm going to lose, then I purposely run up the price so the person who wins has to pay more XD Btw respect to you Canadians who are okay with eating those DHL prices/fees. I could NEVER! If surface mail ever got suspended to the USA then I would just stop purchasing figures until it resumed! No way I could pay those insane prices.
Been watching your videos since the beginning but I always wondered what you do with all the clear files you recieve ?? Do they get stored in a binder or something?
I have Hurdle Girl. But the reason I got her was cause I love all of Kekemotsu art. There are also other figures by their art. Check out the other figures they've made from Kekemotsu art.
41:16 min of rambling chatty "complain-y" content IM IN! Love it, and i agree DHL, omg the tax in here (mexico) with them is so expensive i can't even.
I love the alter shinobu- easily one of my favorite figures now! I would die if we got some figures from that sakura vocoloid art- I got the clear file of the whole gang and I think megurine’s kimono is stunning!
Such a great haul! I love the fruits basket merch 😍 and that alter shinobu is beautiful, I picked her up too and she's my absolute favourite figure! Also dying to get that Kaneki, glad you got him! ✨
I want that kaneki figure so much!!! I need to check auctions for it, i neeed it. By the way i loved that just for spite u upped the bid hahahahah. Also that tokyo ghoul art books is just beautiful, Im still missing the first one!!!
I kind of miss the good old days of buying off mandarake. Back in those days they were counted as second hand (and I believe they still are second hand products) so they were tax free, but these days it is all just "it is from a company so it is taxed". I think I soon need to get back to never looking at amiami to lower my expenses. I'm not sure where to put most figures these days and I should try and resell some older ones.
you should try pre ordering from japan amazon ships to me in toronto 1-3days and if you pre order by bulk shipping fee is a lot cheaper each pre order was only 30-50 dollars shipping also
Omg the Otaku mode Japanese mangas!! I almost bought some as well by accident because they have basically everything but its all in Japanese TwT so I bought all the mangas I wanted from Rightstuf
I know how you feel I hate the new Amiami comic cards, bring back the illustrations already. With the fruit basket books the same thing happen to me but with Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. I should've seen it coming I was in a Target in Pennsylvania after all. I go to the cards section that I still do and went crazy; I saw a combo Joey and Pegasus starter deck from the original series. I see these go for crazy $++ online so I saw that they were $20 I bought them in a hurry. But when I got home I was loving the original Red Eyes B. Dragon card illustration when I realize something weird. the text was off; the F**kin cards were in Spanish.
would you ever consider making a short video about how to use buyee? the website is a bit confusing and the search feature doesn't come up with what I want most of the time
Bruh I'm starting to hate this anime figure collecting hobby, I'm like more than a thousand dollars in debt to paypal for anime figures and I don't ever have room for the figures but I still want to buy more TwT
Hey animbae, not sure if in Canada they have Barnes and Nobles, (i’m really sorry if they don’t bc then this piece of info will be of no use to u), but i bought my fruits basket another series from there, each volume in english, for about $15 USD each. i hope this helps u on ur search for them!
I've seen the character at 7:04 before. She was on the image for a song called "Bloodlust" by Geoxor. Anyone know who this character is or where she originates?
relate with the bidding war but i never win anything on the yahoo auctions some of the figs when they price is doubled from its retail i dont bother anymore to bid especially if it does not have the box why pay triple its price ( but the mandarake waiting game is hell ://)
great lot, one thing i dont understand about buyee is how to you group items from different sellers. I tried but for some reason only lets me purchase one at a time
Hey, I have been collecting for a little bit now but I am still fairly new to it. I love scale figures but all of mine have come from Good Smile company. Which brands would you recommend for scale figures? Thank you!
Im sorry i'm not anibae, but i think it depends on your price range :) I think you can get more information from gwyn collect's video where she introduced you to various figure companies in some of her earlier videos! :D I too learnt alot from there
Merry Christmas all! Hope you all had a great day. BTW Danielle, how tall are you? I was planning on asking in your next AMA, but you haven't held any 😅
I had to cancel my husband's Cthulu Idol Figure... because shipping from Japan to Toronto with DHL (only option) was going to cost $300!!! That is the price of the figure?!?!?!? Please, shipping gods, please re open normal shipping to Canada T___T My body can't handle this lol
Omg thank you so much for trashing your room just to show us x'D But i have been wondering (im sorry if i sound dumb, i live in singapore and i don't have the same delivery issue), why is it more expensive for you even within canada to have your items reach you? OAO AN EXTRA 90 ON TOP OF THE WHOLE THING???!
I love how sincere and funny you are, I can feel your excitement through the screen! This was a good start for my morning, thank you & Merry Christmas!

Hey Gwyn Collects love name sweet girl in would
The bidding war story was Hilarious. I love the pettiness lol. I still don't know how you can keep eating those DHL fee's.
Oh my god you had me dead with the bidding war story for the kaneki figure lmaoooo 😂😂😂
But this video was a wonderful Christmas surprise! It always makes my day seeing you in my sub box, I hope you have been having a great holiday season and a great day! 🎄
I love to see someone getting fruit basket stuff!!! It’s my favourite anime and it’s so underrated 😭❤️
Hope 2022 gets better for us Canadian, DHL with custom made figure collection pretty much insane lmao
I also bought the Kaneki figure and i can definitely say the figure looks 100 times better in person, I looked at every inch of the figure and honestly it is the most perfect and my favorite figure I’ve ever gotten

It’s really fun to see a fellow collector’s collection. And also love how excited and happy you look when showing your stuff! Hope to see more of it!
I always love watching your video, nothing seems staged, always fun and interesting to watch! ^^
That's one massiv haul and one massiv mess XD
lovely video, praying for your bank acc lmao.
Honestly, if I was in Canada I would have quit this hobby or make it very limited. This DHL shipping and customs are insane

You are so great Danielle!! You make me so happy! Merry Christmas I’m so happy we both have CHIKA!
I love that Roy figure but I passed him up in favor of the Megahouse Roy/Riza one, cuz it's a crime that Riza has next to zero figures lol.
Love watching your video. How you fawn over the merch, that the genuine reaction of fangirl 😆

Customs is the reason i haven't ordered figures. Theres a few shops in the gta but the selection is the problem
I feel yah, DHL is killin’ me… but I can’t stop ordering. Hahahaha.
*I’ve accepted my fate with DHL. Haha.

850 dollars in shipping and customs 🙈 my jaw dropped wtffffff
Looks like it will take a minute for my orders to get here even with DHL since it looks like amiami is closed from like December 30-January 3😂
