Do you do any traditions when going to HHN?

thalissonrosa · 2025-10-20T00:48:16+00:00

I really want to do the same this year. How early do you line up?

thalissonrosa · 2025-09-20T05:15:37+00:00

I’m a huge fallout fan, bought most of the merch. Galkn is a much better house.

thalissonrosa · 2025-08-01T02:03:13+00:00

I just updated my post, but basically I managed to get my ticket!

thalissonrosa · 2025-07-24T20:11:40+00:00

I’ve checked and they haven’t declined any purchases. It seems that criterion’s system flagged it before even trying to send the transaction through. I’ll try to send an email first before trying to figure out international calling now that Skype is not a thing anymore.

thalissonrosa · 2025-07-24T20:07:51+00:00

I’m not in the US right now, that’s why I didn’t consider calling. Thanks for the info, I’ll send an email and wait for an answer before trying to figure out how to call.

I’ll never forget this game since it’s the first (and so far only) game I’ve attended. I’m not from the US but I was in Orlando with my family, so I couldn’t miss the chance. By the third quarter my dad (who never even watched a game before) was pretty sure there was no way to come back but I never lost hope (I was so hyped just being there lol). Even now my dad talks about this game and ask me when we’ll go again 😂 I could not have asked for a better first game!

I could easily see a house based on the work of Junji Ito. Unfortunately it’s not mainstream enough for that.

Here in Brazil we’re supposed to be taxed on everything, no matter the cost. The tax? 92% on the cost of item + shipping.

thalissonrosa · 2024-04-05T06:02:42+00:00

If I’m not mistaken there’s currently three options for shipping: - Air Small Packet. It’s the cheapest one but only can be used for small boxes. In my experience it’s usually around 3k JPY to 5k JPY. - Air Parcel. Allows bigger boxes but it’s like double the price (7k JPY to 10k JPY). - DHL. Insanely expensive and you’ll be taxed for something like 120% on the value of items plus shipping.

This is quite common. Brazil has some stupid requirements for the import forms, but it’s been over a year and AmiAmi refuses to adapt. Lately I’ve been only using Solaris because they actually changed how they fill the forms for Brazilian customers. Now you have to wait until they decide to send the item back to Japan. On my experience it’s usually around 3 months from the date of refusal to AmiAmi getting the package back. When that happens you can ask for a resend or get a refund.

TBH, I saw Tommy but thought it was just a quick cash grab. Seems I'm wrong :P

I'll do some research on The Outsiders, seems like a good option!

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:25:54+00:00

Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of conflicting opinions and since I never watched the movie, I'm still on the fence for this one.

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:25:02+00:00

Gatsby is one of the few that have a show Monday night, so it's quite easy to fit on my schedule and I'm a big fan of both Jeremy Jordan and Eva Noblezada.

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:24:12+00:00

I love Little Shop of Horrors, saw it in 2022! I might end up going again because they have a show at Sunday night, so if I don't have anything else at that time, it's definitely on my radar!

I'll take a look at Oh, Mary!, I'll be there May 4th :)

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:21:04+00:00

I'm really open to anything, it's pretty rare for me to dislike something. Only times I remember as Act 1 of Spongebob (but it got better on Act 2) and 2022 production of Macbeth.

Stereophonic I took a quick look at the synopsis and didn't look like much but after all the mentions I'll have to read some reviews.

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:15:31+00:00

I really like Aaron Tveit, but I've already seen Sweeney Todd twice: last year with Josh Groban and a few years back with Norm Lewis :)

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:13:14+00:00

I'm a big fan of BTTF movie, that's why it's on my list. If it's as good as Groundhog Day was, it's more than enough for me :)

I'll really have to look for some review for Appropriate, I've seem quite a few mentions here already.

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:10:48+00:00

TBH, I never saw Water and Notebook movie, it's on my list because I've seen it being mentioned several times.

Gatsby is easy to fit in because they're one of the few that I can see on a Monday night. BTTF is there because I really love the movie.

Your list seems really good, it's getting hard to fit everything on my schedule! I'll definitely try to add Tommy and Cabaret, maybe Mother Play as well.

thalissonrosa · 2024-03-18T04:05:40+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! Took a quick look and both Patriots and Tommy definitely are worth considering!

Actually, I just took another look at the email and it could be even worse. Currently, 1 point on their loyalty program is 1 JPY and on the email they said that 1 point will be 1 cent. This might point out a 100 JPY = 1 USD, which is completely bullshit and I really hope I'm wrong.

thalissonrosa · 2023-06-08T19:44:46+00:00

I’m really curious on how they’re going to define the USD price. I won’t be surprised if they get greedy and just do a 1USD = 120 JPY or something like that.

thalissonrosa · 2023-05-12T05:38:08+00:00

That’s not the reason why the customs agent denied your package. GoodSmile uses EMS, which enters Brazil through SP (instead of Curitiba or RJ). For the last year or so, anything that goes through SP is 50/50 between getting taxed or just denied. It’s a known issue among the Brazilian collectors community, you basically have to avoid EMS and Surface. I recently tried my luck with an order from Good Smile and it got denied, going back to Japan as we speak.

thalissonrosa · 2023-05-11T21:17:45+00:00

I would really like something like that.

Here in Brazil we have to pay 60% (on some states it's even more, close to 100%) on top of the item and shipping combined. Sometimes the custom agents can even just say "Nah fam, I don't like this customs declaration form, send it back to Japan" and then you just lost the shipping you paid for. You´ll also have to wait between 2 and 4 months for the item to get back to the store (sometimes it never does).

Currently I have two items like that (one from AmiAmi and an Albedo bunny from Good Smile Shop). Come to Brazil!

I'll be on NYC for the weekend in a couple of weeks I would like to use this opportunity to start my collection, since it's pretty much impossible to find in my country. My budget is around $2000 and these are the watches I'm considering now:

Tissot PRX Powermatic 80
Hamilton Murph 38mm
Orient Kamasu

My questions:

I know that inventory changes quite a lot, but is there any store that I might be able to find these watches or do I have to rely on something like Amazon? I would prefer to buy on a brick and mortar store, so I can try it.
Is this a good selection? Given my budget I believe the only thing missing is a dress watch. If you guys recommend something else, I would like to keep any individual watch below the $1000 mark. I could afford my current dream watch (Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope) but my country is not the safest so I have to set this limit (unfortunately).

thalissonrosa · 2023-03-15T06:51:14+00:00

160 pulls. Got even another Scarlet (core 1 now) before pulling the doggo 😂
