I sometimes envy you younger people so much Meli. Anime was just coming into the United States in the late 70s, early 80s when I was growing up. Mostly Battletech, Voltron, and Battle Of The Planets (Gotchaman), and very few models, toys, etc. Now we’re surrounded by all of this awesome Japanese robotic greatness! Thank you for doing a great channel!
Here's a tip: Instead of throwing out the box for the phone charger, get some dryer sheets. Toss a few inside it, rub down the outside, and let it sit for a while (as long as it takes.) This will neutralize most, if not all, of the cigarette smoke stench. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke, and this is the method I use.
I have purchased a lot of used games from Japan over the years, which from time to time are notoriously stinky of cigarettes. If it's non porous (plastics, etc.), I use disinfectant spray to wipe down the items, and it helps tremendously, Something I've also done is a combination of heat, baking soda, and Carbon deodorizers. Place the stinky item(s) in a plastic bag with the baking soda/deodorizer, and place the bag in a hot area (like the garage - or the attic for us folk here in Florida). after 3 days, most, if not all of the smell is gone! I was able to de-stink the packaging of a much sought after Power Base Converter for the Sega Genesis that way a few years ago.
Self/home quarantine could be boring, i just got off mine last Saturday. It's nice to have a hobby like gunpla to make it fun. Great to have you uploading videos again.
Those are the Origins post cards... collectable and were given out to movie goers the Char drawing was a special engagement viewing promo... you got a good haul!!
Not gonna lie Meli, I started watching cuz you're gorgeous but I've stayed because of your genuine love for Gunpla, you're fun to watch. I hope you keep it up :-)
What you said about Mandarake is very true. Shit's always expensive there because you're paying for the convenience of having all the rare merchandise clumped together in the same place. If you have the time, it's always cheaper to go item hunting around the other stores. Those "OFF" stores (Book-Off/Hard-Off) are a goldmine for cheap rare kits.
The JR East Gundam you got, I think, was a prize for a stamp collecting contest in the JR East line. I tried to get one before my flight (using that JR Pass to its limits) but I was off by about 15 stations.
@@paucarvalho7369 you know how this disease spreads right? From idiots traveling back and forth through highly populated areas because they think taking a vacation during a pandemic is cheap and amazing. Not knowing they can easily spread the virus asymtomatically to others and the surrounding areas. Like this moron in the video. As a pharmacist she should know better, especially since she works WITH THE ELDERLY POPULATION.
That Unicorn jacket is epic! My fave thing!💯👍 Welcome back home. We missed your vids. I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe during this ordeal. Keep up the great content and thanks for sharing this with us.
I would like to see you put the green gunpla together. Sorry I forgot the name of it. And the zaku head charger that looked awesome. To bad the box reeks of cig. Smoke so gross! Have a great day and thanks for the video!
Great haul! I never usually comment on anything but you inspired me with those great Gundam thrift finds!! I just recently moved to Japan a month ago, hopefully I stumble into some awesome rare kits! So far I have found a few of these old Gundam bearbrick figures that came with Pepsi's a long time ago I think?? I need to find my nearest hobby off!
I missed watching you review gundams its getting boring around here if your in a quarantine... Glad you made it safe to japan and back to your home safely😅
15:35 legit this is a nice Zaku plushie hat. 16:50 I love this jacket you have and do they a Banshee one too? Will there be a review about the phone charger? That's something to see for the next video.
Yep it's Yamanote. :) Tis the line that passes through Akihabara. They've done lots of these limited edition kits... There's a 7 eleven one, there's a ANA airline one... Lots of em. :)

Agreed
Not to mention the model kits back then were really not that good.
@@tubetop123 eh....most things are a scam now. Anime peaked in the 90s and 00s
I was like 12 when Robotech came to america
To tell you the truth,this is the only RUclipsr that I wanna put the subtitles on the top.
classy
That jacket is so sick!! I want one...
yes the jacket is really cool
exuse me how mutch exacly meli i think you little bit overprice it joke like .

Zaku plush hat wins hands down... I would absolutely wear it outside the house. Unicorn jacket a close second. Nice haul.
Stay healthy.

That plate was my fav!!! I have no use for it, but if I saw it I’d have to buy to. A wonderful piece of art.
20:10 I love that Zaku plush head gear.
Definitely that RX-0/Banagher Links jacket was a great score! Even if it was that expensive, would have bought it myself as well!
Sounds like you had fun in Japan. Glad to see your posting content again. Stay safe Meli.
Glad your back! Looking forward to your next review.
