Ralphy!!! Thank you! It is indeed a cel that I've had my heart set on for a long long time. You know it's like applying for a job and always getting that rejected letter. But even so, I'm still in love with the one you passed on to me too! I carry pics with me everywhere, well digital at least.
Syan! Yeppers! On one hand it's so much more convenient watching in English but sometimes it's also butchered. The other day I was watching a movie version of an old anime called "Starbirds" which I absolutely LOVE but it was such a torture (same issue on translation aside from the cuts). But!!! I still can't believe you read through all that I wrote! I admit I got carried away there. It was written the day I got confirmation the deal was closed. LOL!!!
Kamidake - I positive you are also speaking from "recent experience".

Your update was awesome too esp the Weiss but I already told you that. Thanks for taking a look! Yes I was a nervous wreck the past few weeks but nothing beats shiny new plastic that makes your heart skip a beat!
Redwolf - Hello and thank you. To me it was worth it that's true but I'm also just a tad embarassed and during the time was having second thoughts of "Are you insane?". But when I opened the cel this afternoon, all that I had to trade for it was indeed worth it. I wish though the scan would be closer, in fact the camera photo probably looks nicer as the cel just shines (and not from the flash.. hehehe)... No worries about the fanfic part and skimming, I can get a tad too preachy and excited.
