Woo! A new month! A month of groundhogs and Setsubun and lovers and chocolates. It’s also a month for our new layout! I spent all weekend building it just for you guys. There are some elements from the old layout, because I liked them, but for the most part, it’s all brand new! If you see any errors in the layout, let me know and I will fix it as promptly as possible. I don’t think I missed anything, but who knows. Anyway! Expect that Samurai Champloo to turn into a random banner sometime in the near future. I plan to have around 100 randomly selecting top banners, but that will likely take some time, so there you go. Please leave a link to hi-res, non-blurry images if you know any.
Also, with Wonder Festival right around the corner, we are seeing a ton of new figures for the event, sadly, some are event only specials. Yahoo Auctions will save us!
