The first decision is whether I should get a figurine or gundam to expand my collection. Since I collect both either would be fine. However! Gundam models are packed into somewhat large boxes... given my small cargo space (since I need to pack clothes and other essentials), I won't be able to fit many gundam models at all. So lets talk about figs ! (>w<)! Some of them might be NSFW... You have been warned D: !
Although I wasn't a Touhou fan for very long. I actually like this figure. The face has a nice expression. This is also the first figurine of Touhou released by a big company, Griffon Enterprises. Others released at the same time were Reimu, Remilia, Sakuya, Aya, and Patchouli.

The reason why I like this is kinda hard to explain... I like mecha? I've been a Gundam fan, no not gundam00, that don't count. I have watched Gundam Zeta, Gundam Double Zeta, Victory Gundam, and so on. I still prefer my Universal Century Gundams. I like them very much, people actually perish when they need be. Not like *SPOILER* Gundam00 where no one dies (minus Lockon, since his identical bro takes his place). But yeah, I like my mechas, anything with a futuristic feel to it will probably spark my attention.

The reason why I want this... Isn't that face just adorable? (>w<)! I actually watch the show Tears to Tiara, which is where shes from. Although I'm unfamiliar with the game that was based off of it. I do know PS3 has the game Tears to Tiara. The character art is nice, as expected from the people who did ToHeart, Leaf.

Saber Lily -Distant Avalon-
I like this figures alot because of its stance. The maker is Good Smile Company, when you hear that name, you know it has to be quality. Similar to Alter who makes really nice figures, GSG is also one of the best. Alter has an equivalent released a little after. I find this much more dynamic and striking compared to Alter's. Hence I will still prefer this one even though I'm an Alter fan (my first ever figurine was from Alter xD).

This will be a good trip to pick up stuff I have wanted from a while ago but didn't get the chance to order them (due to financial reasons or something similar). I hope I will not be disappointed! (>w<)! Of course I won't only buy these if I find them. But listing EVERYTHING will be just too long >=O. I also have request from friends to buy them some souvenirs. Can't say what will happen yet, but I hope the trip will turn out alright (for my wallet and my collection ;D).
As you may already know, two sites I frequently use are hobbysearch (where I buy) and nekomagic (where I learn about new and upcoming figurines). I recommend both sites for figurine enthusiasts who are/want to be up to date on these news.
