I wish they'd think of opening up locations in more places, but after seeing an IKEA store in person for the first time recently, I think I kind of understand why they don't. I don't think I have ever seen such a MASSIVE single store in my entire life. I lost count of the number of times that I got lost in the place. Not just turned around, genuinely holy-shit-where-the-fuck-am-I-and-how-did-I-get-here lost. Unreal. o_O;;;
Hey, it's uncool, but I still maintain that if K-Mart sells cheap and Target sells budget designer labels, Wal-Mart sells sheer convenience. It is hard for anyone to compete on that level of convenience. Where else am I going to go if I want a copy of Mario Kart at 11 PM? I know I'm not the only person who has random late-night shopping urges. That's why Wal-Mart exists, plain and simple. I've heard a lot of good things about that feature, honestly... I just haven't had a need to try it yet. I do still need a few things for the apartment, so I may have to give it a try! Thank you for the rec, once again! ♥
Hmm, I'm almost tempted to wait for a restock and get the full set, if they're that good. It's such a pain in the ass to realize too late that you're lacking one particular brush that would make your life that much easier. $100-something is REALLY good for a nice set of brushes, considering how expensive MAC and other brands seem to run. Although it might just make me want to buy a zillion new eyeshadows to "test" them with, so maybe that's a bad idea... ^w^
It's disheartening to see items that I saw in years past suddenly disappear and become exorbitantly expensive! Last time I was in Tokyo, I remember checking out the doll section of Closet Child in Ikebukuro and seeing a secondhand Mama Told Me on the shelf. Being secondhand, she probably wasn't even that expensive. *kicks self* But sellers have a way of surprising you! Anyway, if the Special Version is so accessible, I can't imagine that the regular version would cost much more.
I messaged you with the details! Good luck!! It is pretty easy to go nuts at the beginning, at least, since the fees are so comparably low. But it's okay to indulge a little! My personal vice: searching for Sailor Moon/Licca/whatever dolls and sorting them with the lowest prices first. People will sell them for NOTHING with just a little tangled hair and dirt, just to be rid of them. It's amaaaazing.
If you want a pink shelf Momoko, skip the Good Night Cherry Pink (whom I like better with brown hair, anyway) and just scoop up a Momoko with good paint, then chop her hair off and plop on a tiny-sized pink mohair wig. Instant pink curls! In fact, here's one right now! I'm not a huge fan of rerooting where it's not necessary, but I do love me some floofy mohair. ♥ ♥
I just now noticed that I used "is" and "are" together in referring to Celga... AND Rinkya. Forgive me! It's late! Even on the internet, usually I speak English better than this. *facepalm*
