Ayupan Collectors

[LacusClyne]

well i have been collecting ayupans for years.

in the begining, i started to buy them when the (m)u ayupans are out, not the (m)u tour outfits, it's those (m)u album booklet outfits, i bought 2 of them. There used to be a local stores that carries jpop items from japan(although it's 90% Johnny's, but they have A FEW AYU'S)

then, i got addicted to them! they are so cute~~~ small, but i feel happy when i see them in my showcase.
Then after 6 months, they have more of the older ayupans, i think the store owner bought them in a lot auction from Yahoo Auction Japan, and sold them really cheap, like USD$4 each, so i bought like 10 of them! But the store has closed down by now.

Other then there, i buy those ayupans that i like from ebay. but you just have to keep your eyes open for good deal, some sellers like ayumi_showcase, is overprice. I can get them way cheaper from YAJ.

Now since i have most of the older ayupans that i want, i'm concentrating on buying the new ones. I buy them from mumo or YA.

the ayupans set that i like most HAD to be the (m)u tour set, i spend 3 years to get them at a reasonable price. The set is consider rare and quite costly, they can reach around USD$80 for EACH ayupan when it first came out. I have to give up bidding on them, and i still remember how sad i was.

So here goes:

My most treasure ayupan set~~~~ CHA DA DA DA
