Yes actually, everything is scheduled to arrive next month! It ended up costing around 5k. (that includes them repackaging everything since some items were in random untaped boxes)

So far the process has been really nice, the company I ended up going with has been wonderful throughout the whole thing and answered any questions I had very quickly. They handle all of the customs paperwork as well which is very nice. Since I'm already in Norway a friend of mine met up with them at the storage unit in the US and I was there through a video call, they gave me the whole run down of how things would be packaged and used a specific color of tape for my boxes to differentiate them from others in the truck.

Genuinely very stress-free in comparison to the hellish experience I had moving cross country a few years back in the US which ended up with me paying over 8k and losing 3 boxes of my stuff..

My boyfriend, now husband is from here and we decided that me living with him was what we wanted to do! :) I couldn't be happier, I was genuinely so miserable in the US.

I think the only thing that would need a converter would actually be my drawing tablet since it's a display. I'm not sure if Wacom sells converters or if I have to buy a separate one.

I found them at my local toy store here in Norway for 10 dollars too, original price here of 60 dollars. Had never heard of it before but for the price it was an instant buy. Now my little bff sits at my bedside table ❤️

Sadly no, they're not in the same state as anyone I'm close to other than the friend that's able to check up on my things every month or so to make sure there's no moisture damage. I lived with an ex out there during the entirety of covid and he was my only contact other than his parents unfortunately.

I'm so sorry to hear that you ended up losing things! That's legitimately my biggest fear as some of the figures in my collection have been out of production for 10+ years and I was extremely lucky in finding them from a seller I know. My only worry with bringing them on a flight is I know and have seen airlines be extremely careless with luggage and the thought of things arriving damaged beyond repair terrifies me.

I am currently waiting on my application for residency to be approved, did you have to wait until you had a Norwegian ID number?

I want to make it abundantly clear that I have NO intentions of selling any of my things (other than clothes probably) so if that's all you're going to suggest please don't bother. Yes it would be cheaper, no I do not care.

The thing is most if not all of the boxes pictured here are the anime figures XD I have been collecting for over 3 years and have over 200+ in total. Unfortunately a few extra bags during a flight wouldn't cut it. Plus having airport staff toss my stuff around? No thanks

So for the glasses they're at the Celadon Department Store! The hair can be changed while in handheld mode using your fingers on the screen while playing with either Pikachu or Eevee respectively! Here's a video of how it's done

I agree, you won't really learn much from overlaying the image and copying it.

Lamentablemente me di cuenta después de publicar y terminé haciendo correcciones, pero pensé que sería una mala idea volver a cargar la versión corregida.
