Nanami's Suikoden Room 2013

 As I finally have all my collection displayed together (happy tears!) I though I should share it. Hope you like it ^-^ I guess I will have to put all things closer every time I receive a new package XD I cant believe I already have so many things... considering Im missing around 35% (just guessing xD) I think I will need more space in about a year- half a year. But right now this is just perfect!

Como finalmente tengo toda mi colección junta (*llora de felicidad!) pensé que estaría bien mostrarla. ¡Espero que os guste! Creo que conforme vaya recibiendo paquetes, tendré que ir juntando más todo xD No me puedo creer que tenga tantas cosas... y considerando que aún me falta un 35% (cálculo mental rápido xD) es posible que necesite más espacio en un año o año y medio... pero ahora mismo me va perfecto^^

Promote Suikoden! Advertising Competition:

Anything that does not fit into any of the other categories can be submitted for Random Shout Out, and the winners will be drawn from the pool of entries! 2 Random winners! Show your love for Suikoden and be in to win!

Essays: ‘What Suikoden Means to Me’ and ‘My Ideal Suikoden VI’:
 This is not a competition, but instead a way of contributing to both the festivities of Suikoden Day, and helping Konami to hear the voice of its Suikoden fan base. All pieces will be collected and sent into Konami after the Suikoden Day event. Essays can be as long or short as you like, and we’d love to hear your stories and opinions! Send them in to us! We can post them as anonymous if you prefer, and if you don’t want them sent to Konami, then that is okay too.

2013 Nanami's Wishlist

En vez de hacer los típicos propósitos, yo comenzaré este 2013 con mi top 10 de cosas de suikoden que me quedan por conseguir.
Instead of making my new year's resolution, Ill start this 2013 with my own Suikoden Top 10 of things Im missing still.

Pero antes de eso, echemos un ojo a mi wishlist de 2009... ¡no recordaba que fuese tan antigua! De mi antiguo top ten sólo he podido conseguir 4 cosas. ¡Menos da una piedra, supongo!
But lets see my 2009 wishlist before... I didnt remember it was so long time ago! I just got in all this time 4 stuff from my list... But I cant complain, I guess!

La figura limitada de Lyon, el cuadro de suikoden (preciosisisisismo, uno de mis objetos preferidos desde el día que lo vi...), la bandera del fuerte mercenario (no tan complicada de encontrar como el resto, pero se me resistía...) y la caja de chocolates! (de las cosas más chulis que tengo, la verdad).
Lyon Limited figure, Suikoden framed art (wondeeeerful, one of my fav mercha ever since first time I saw it), mercenary fortress flag (maybe the easiest of al 10 to get but for some reason it was hard) and chocolate box (coolest thing ever).

Mi wishlist actualizada:

1. Pongo las 3 volks juntas ya que es un crimen que ocupen mis tres primeros puestos, cuando ¡ni siquera son licenciadas! pero me gustan tanto que conservan su top 1.
2. El ipod, ese eterno imposible...
3. La camiseta, tremendamente difícil de conseguir, jamás la vi en venta en todo este tiempo.
4. El guarda memory card... que pena me da no haberlo comprado cuando lo vendían en ebay. El día que reuní el dinero para comprarlo, lo compró otra persona u_u
5. Suikoden II de pc chino. Aunque cualquier suikoden de pc que me falte es un obligatorio de tener
6. Uno de los set de cartas que más me gustan. Aunque cualquiera que yo no tenga merece un puesto en mi top ten. Las cajas de cartas siempre han sido mi prioridad.
7. El poster maldito. Este peque casi se pierde el dudoso honor de estar en mi top ten debido a la cantidad de veces que lo he perdido en puja, ya me da un poquito de repelús... aún así... seamos sinceros, si lo veo de nuevo, volvería a pujar xD
8. Posters de tela de suikoden III. Ya tengo a Hugo, pero faltan los demás...
9. El único peluche suikoden que me falta, "Oh master Luc I cant live without you...!" <3 p="">10. El cd Orgel. Estaba dudando entre esto o las joyas de suikoden, otro favorito desde siempre, pero lo dejaré para cuando consiga algo de este top ten y lo actualice... ¿quizá en 2017? ¿quizá nunca? xD ¡Espero que no!

1. All the 3 volks together since its a shame if they have 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in my list! Theyre not even licensed! But I like it sooo much they will share the top 1.
2. My eternat impossible, Suikoden Ipod.
3.Suikoden tee, extremelly hard to get, I don't even saw it for sale in all these years..
4. Memory card holder! So sad I didnt purchase it when it was on ebay..! The same day I could get the money for it, anyone elses bought it u_u
5. Suikoden II chinese for PC. But any other suikoden for pc is a must have >.<
6. One of my fav cards set. Again, any of the others set are worth of this top 10. Booster packs have been always my priority!
7. Cursed poster. this little one almost misses the uncertain honor of being in my wishlist since Ive lost it soo many times I kind of dislike it a bit, but being honest I would bid for it tomorrow if I see it! xD
8. Suikoden III cloth posters. I've already Hugo, but Im missing all the others...
9. the only suikoden plushie Im still missing. Oh, master Luc, I can't live without you...! <3 nbsp="" p="">10. Orgel cd. I almost choose the GSV earrings but Ill put it in my next wishlist once Ill get something from this top 10. Maybe in 2017? maybe... never? xDDD Hope not! xD
 
 

November Suikoden package

I received a few days ago other package, its not very big, but Im quite happy with a couple of things...
The book is the most complete card guide and gave me a lot of useful info! it was a bit hard to get since I didnt see any on yahoo japan, neither in ebay for years. I had to search in rakuten and then eureka! : ) The Suikoden III promo pamphlet (not sure, it seems so) was also hard to get because the other one was over 3 times its prize, so I feel quite lucky for the deal. The Suikoden booster pack vol. 4... I just love it! Im very into the cards lately and I found a couple of boxed packs : ) Im missing a lot of them still but well! I have almost half of them maybe now.

Recibí hace unos días otro paquete, no es muy grande, pero estoy muy contenta con un par de cosillas...
El libro es la guía más completa y me ha dado un montón de información util. Ha sido difícil de conseguir ya que no veía ninguno en yahoo japan ni en ebay desde hacía mucho. Entonces busqué en rakuten y... eureka! : ) El panfleto de Suikoden III (creo que es eso) también fue dificil de conseguir porque sólo lo encontraba muy caro, y al final lo conseguí tres veces más barato así que estoy contenta con la ganga.
El booster pack vol. 4... ¡me encantaaa! Últimamente me ha dado mucho por las cartas y he ido encontrando unas cuantas cajas cerradas : ) Me faltan aún muchas pero bueno... creo que tengo casi la mitad de las que hay ahora.

Koroku pillow cover, also amazing... Art of suikoden V, not a hard to get one but I was missing it so one thing less^^. And the suikoden IV starting guidebook, some magazine posters and reviews, and card bags (empty) very useful for organizing my album, I want to have at least one of each bag for putting it before all the cards of each set : D
The stationary set is also a treasure to me, since Ive been waiting a lot for it. Now Im only missing one of the three of them!
Same with the sticker.. love it! but this time, its the only one I have and there is a lot more of sticker set >.<'''

The box is a 2003 calendar, I think I was missing it (not sure since all my suikoden old stuff is packed and far away >.<)

La funda de cojín de Koroku, increible también... El "Art of Suikoden V" no era muy difícil de conseguir, pero me faltaba así que una cosa menos^^. Y la guía de Suikoden IV y algunos posters de revista junto con una review, y también los paquetitos vacíos de las cartas. Estos últimos son bastante útiles para organizar mi album, pongo cada sobrecito antes de las cartas de su correspondiente paquete.

La caja es un calendario de 2003, creo que me fataba (no estoy segura ya que todas las cosas de suikoden que compré hace mucho están empaquetadas y lejos de aquí ><)

Thats all, hope you like it^^
Y eso es todo, espero que os guste ^^

Hello everyone!
Im not writing a lot but there isnt any suikoden new, or stuff or anything, so dont blame me, blame konami xD

Other stuff:
One month ago I was lucky enough to meet one of the biggest suikoden fans out there, Lord Chris Holmes.
Chris, like Erjo and me, is one the founders of Suikoden Day, and he is in touch with Konami and hes the most actively person campaigning for suikoden VI that Ive ever met, so that was very very exciting^^
I wanted to remind everyone about suikoden day 2012, which will take place in November 15th. Please join us and take part in all the competitions! Here a drawing in the sand Chris did : ) and the prizes for the s-day 2012. Hope you like it!
Otras cosillas:
Hace un mes tuve la enorme suerte de conocer a uno de los mayores fans de suikoden que hay, Lord Chris Holmes.
Chris, como Erjo y yo, es uno de los fundadores del Suikoden Day, y él está en contacto con Konami, siendo la persona más activa en hacer campaña sobre Suikoden VI que conozco; así que fue increible conocerle^^
Quería recordar a todos sobre el suikoden day 2012, que tendrá lugar el 15 de Noviembre de 2012.
