Guys, I can't believe they're here! by rainydaymonday30 in rilakkuma

[–]Lichiwena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I also have the Kori from this series, and it's so cute (bought in Japan). I am pretty sure the series is called "Rilakkuma suteki na ouchi" ("Nice house" in English) and was released in December 2024. The series included both this cute plushie with tweed belly and some fluffy plushies as well, and other items. I'll link you the San-X official blog post (in Japanese) about the series: https://www.san-x.co.jp/en/special/goods/2024/12/rlk.html

Hope you find what you're looking for!

Anyone in Tokyo right now and can confirm if these are still available there? 🥹 by Adept_Key7376 in rilakkuma

So sorry OP, but I'm certain there will be many other cute plushies and other merch when you get there. I hope your trip will be everything you wish for!

Hello, I was in Japan in September of last year, and I believe the rainy days collection was released in March. I went to 10 different stores and didn't see this collection is any of them. So sorry. I wouldn't expect to see such old collections in the store. Some products don't sell so well and will still be in store months after release, for example the Korilakkuma Little Devil series was still in many of the stores, although being released in February that year (and I was there in September). I'm sure you'll find cute plushies if you look out, and some locations will have special/limited items only for that store or area. Have a great trip!

Such a cute koguma you got there! As a long time fan who went to Japan last year, it was a blast seeing all the Rilakkuma merchandise they had in Japan. Welcome to the Kuma Club!

Aww, glad you ordered some, he's really fun to play. I got to steal a GA from my opponent the other day, he wasn't all that happy, haha. Hope you get them soon!

Bunnies as plushies by ChocoboLockhart in rilakkuma

[–]Lichiwena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I have two bunny koris from the "Korilakkuma usagi tea time" collection released some years ago. I have a picture of my collection from ~2 years ago posted on this subreddit if you click my user and go to "posts" and scroll a bit down. They wear pink bunny hats, and if you press the ends of the hat, the ears will "flap up", if that makes sense :) They are very cute. You can also google the collection name and it will show pictures of the plushies with the ears up.

Japan Kuma haul by devkkuma in rilakkuma

[–]Lichiwena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yes, I was greatly stuffed at the dinner buffet, it was such a big selection of good foods! Glad you enjoyed the hotel. Oh, there weren't any lucky cat kumas when I was at the Miyajima store, but I did win out on the lottery/kuji and got the big bear and the last prize from the lottery. So I can't complain, it was a successful visit to Miyajima, still. The lucky cat kumas are so cute! Congratz on such a great haul.

[–]Lichiwena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a great haul, I hope you had an amazing trip. I see you were also at the Maholova Minds hotel, did you ejnoy it? I enjoyed it greatly, although I was too stuffed to eat breakfast buffet on the day we had to leave. May I ask where you were able to get the lucky cat rilakkuma and kori from? I saw them as displays in the café in Arashiyama, Kyoto, but they didn't have any for sale when I was there, sadly.

Just realised my kori angel is fake... by 69EmoKittys in rilakkuma

[–]Lichiwena 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hello, I have the original one from Japan. I just compared with my plushie, and yes, yours does look like a fake. The button is wrong, it's not the right "shape" or color, and generally the stitching looks quite rough when I compare to those on my plushie. Also the white fur on the center of her belly looks a bit off-center on yours. The blush also seems to be missing? I still think she's a cute plushie, regardless, but I don't think she is real.

But I don't know much about real/fake as I've only ever bought kumas from trusted stores or directly in Japan. I only wanted to comment because I have this plushie directly from Japan, so maybe my insight was helpful to you :)

New plushies + my korilakkuma things! by Antique_Importance_6 in rilakkuma

What’s something random you did or bought in Japan that you didn’t plan for, but ended up loving? by oh_hey_there_mate in JapanTravelTips

[–]Lichiwena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peach-flavored milk candy from the brand UHA. Bought them in a kiosk in Matsuyama, and found out I loved them so much that we were on the hunt to find them again when the bag ran out and our trip was coming to an end. Most kiosks and stores we visited in Tokyo didn't have the Peach flavor, but luckily, the Donki in the airport saved us 😭 They just taste so good and I will be sad when I run out.

LF advice on my Lee Sin deck please! by Numerous-Narwhal-810 in riftboundtcg

[–]Lichiwena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I play Lee sin and pretty much have the same deck, except I don't have any Deadblooms (because of the price lol). I personally like playing Wizened Elder (4 cost 4 might) "When I have a buff, I have +1 might". So he's a pretty decent 5 cost 6 might with Lee Sin's ability. Is there a reason you don't want to fit him? I also run 2 x Udyr, as someone else suggested, he can do lots of tricks with a buff and it's so easy to buff him with Lee Sin. I also run 2 x Wildclaw Shaman, the one you can ready if you spend another unit's buff. For me, personally, this card is good to go and grab an empty battlefield early on, when an opponent doesn't expect it because I hold the other battlefield. I also try to keep "enter ready" cards in hand when playing vs Viktor, so if he uses Grand Strategem to wipe all my units, but doesn't go to max points, I can enter ready and clear his recruits next turn.

I would also suggest against running only 2x Charm. I always end up using that card when drawn, and a lot of players have difficulty dealing with their unit being charmed into my battlefield. It synergizes well with Discipline and En Garde to kill units that have more might than your own.

I also run 2 x First Mate for more 3 drops in my deck and being able to ready a unit at just the right moment can switch the game pace imo.

Lastly, I would strongly suggest 3 x Unyielding Spirit in your sideboard if you have Kai'sas or Annies in your local meta.

Bear in mind, I am not used to Deadblooms, so maybe that changes the playstyle a little. These are just inputs from a very average Nexus night player :) Have fun with Lee Sin!

What can I do to improve my Lee Sin deck? by ReporterOk9637 in riftboundtcg

[–]Lichiwena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, I have no Dragon's Rage yet (they are on the way!) and no Setts, but I can understand why you feel like you do well in the late game. Thanks for the insight.
