I love the Zatch Bell! CCG, but too many cards are short print. I found a bunch of Toys 'R Us special gift packages for $1.24/ea, got 20 of them--the equivalent of about 55 packs--and only pulled one Robnos (Double) and one Robnos (Complete). I didn't pull a single Danny, got only Zaker for Zeno, and got no Zofis spells. Hell, I didn't get spells for half the mamodo I got, and for the spells I DID pull, I didn't get the mamodos! What the hell? Maybe another Toys 'R Us will be clearancing those sets, too, because I really want a Robnos deck.

I am super psyched about making that costume, too, but can't decide whether I'm going to make Biraitsu or ReiBuruk. I'll probably end up making ReiBuruk because that's the form I fell in love with when Zatch Bell! was still on Cartoon Network years back. He's just so cool, and his element is "LASER." XD

I hate not having any time to dedicate to anything that helps me unwind anymore. I just feel like my job is eating away all my creative energy and pulling me away from things that let my mind and soul have fun. So much art, fiction, deck construction and fan-cards, costuming, photography-itches, etc. crying to get out... with no escape in sight. iAi
