...it seems like every damn boat from China is slow. I recently got one of those Tamashii Wind Effects, but I didn't buy it recently. I waited more than a month, similar to everything else I've purchased that has shipped from China or Hong Kong. I'm not complaining or singling out one or two nations; items I buy from Japan, or the UK, take just as long to arrive. Between customs and the slow nature of travel by sea, things are just going to take a while in transit...but you know the game: hurry up and wait.

That dollhouse stuff is EXPENSIVE. I've always watched the items (even going as far as to save some eBay searches), dreaming of the day of doing similar stuff to what you are doing in your shots, but the prices have functioned as a prohibitive factor. Long ago, I made a choice between chasing down a bunch of props and buying effects. The effects won the battle, but when I see excellently outfitted/accessorized ("You got to accessorize!" HA!) photos like yours, I go right back to wanting that stuff.

About that shared listing...I've never seen Bud served up on a platter like that!

edit...oh wait, does that put me in the same category since I also know what those figs are?
