Costume Plushies + AVCon + Scooter



It's July, and you know what that means?

CHRISTMAS. TOY. SALES.

Yup, all department stores are having them, and Target's opened at midnight on Thursday.

Thursday night I headed to the shops, unplanned, with my friend. I was curious about the toy sale so we casually went to check it out. And to my surprise, found these two ADORABLE little babies:


HOW CUTE ARE THEY?! My poor *guy* friend had to put up with my excessive squealing, jumping around the had to follow me around the shops while I proudly held them up *big grin*

I checked Target's online catalogue later and found out that there were in fact FOUR costume HK plushies. The store I visited were overstocked with the bear and tiger, but didn't have any sheep or the other one (it's grey).

I sent the boyfriend to check the Target near his place, no luck, still the brown ones left. I ventured to the Target near my place on Saturday and found ONE white sheep left. I checked the city store and after searching four different stores, still can't find the grey one! :(


Oh, they were $15 each! Down from $20.

The hunt continues ..

--------------------

AVCon (anime & video convention) was last weekend. I've never been and I've been meaning to go for a few years now, just to check it out. Anyways I headed there on Sunday with my friend. Entry was $30 but luckily at the door, some lady was willing to give us 2 passes for $15 each - HALF PRICE! So we took it.

I suppose I'm not really into anime. Or video games. They had a few stalls though, and I found one called 'Kawaii Imports'. They import stuff here basically. Anyway they had a heap of Hello Kitty, so I picked up a 4-in-1 pen (blue, black and red pen plus a pink highlighter) and some stamps:


It was alright I suppose, you'd have to be REALLY into anime and gaming to enjoy it. Mm, other than that it was good :)

--------------------

So my next purchase kinda .. doesn't need explaining? Well it does. But yeah. See for yourself:




..........

YES. IT'S A HELLO KITTY SCOOTER.

No idea WHAT came over me when I bought it, I looked back a few days later and realised it was just sitting there and thought .. I'm never gonna use this, am I? But seriously, IT'S A SCOOTER! *excited* LOL it's actually uber adorable, and no I don't care if I look like a massive douche riding it. YEAH I'M GONNA RIDE IT LOL. Summer is gonna be awesome, gonna bring it to the beach and parks and ride around .. no joke. It's barely adjustable to my height and the weight limit is 50kg, meaning it's obviously designed for kids. The lady suggested some other scooters though .. but I don't really need a scooter. And I wouldn't buy one if it wasn't Hello Kitty!

--------------------

Tomorrow I'm venturing off to Sydney, AGAIN. I'm definitely gonna check out Maruyu, it's about a 2-minute walk from my hotel? Paddy's Markets, Chinatown, Market City are at the top of my list for Hello Kitty hunting!

On a side note, gonna be attending WINTERBEATZ, going on a dinner cruise along Sydney Harbour and doing lots and lots of shopping!

CAN'T WAIT!

Hello Kitty Goodies

Had a few bucks remaining for the fortnight (I get more money tomorrow) so I wandered into the new Morning Glory that opened in the foodcourt last week. To celebrate their new store, they're having huge sales (30-50% off everything in store, etc).

The 'today's special' table was at the front and today it was '2 for $5', anything on the table. I checked it out last week and they had Hello Kitty cutlery sets, as well as pencil cases, clipboards, gift boxes, etc. I picked out these:

Hello Kitty cutlery set (spoon, fork, chopsticks)


Hello Kitty pencil case


I already have a pink pencil case for uni that I brought at the beginning of the year at another Morning Glory sale. It's basically the same compartments etc, just that .. it's not Hello Kitty!

I ran into my friend at uni earlier who asked to borrow my highlighter .. but it was pink. Yes, it's a guy. I met up with him later and he told me he brought 2 highlighters from Morning Glory for only $1.30 - apparently there was one pink one left. So, I strolled over to the pens etc and - lucky me - the pink one was still there .. and it was HELLO KITTY!

Hello Kitty highlighter


There was only yellow and green left - Pooh Bear and Keroppi.

In total: $7.05. I think I got undercharged, I'm pretty sure 30% off $1.95 for the highlighter isn't $1.05. But oh well :)
