Opening the Made in Asia Lucky Bags

 Okay, so over at Made in Asia last week, we decided to buy some Lucky Bags from one of the many vendors.

They came in large, pretty nice cardboard bags, and they would contain 5-6 items of the depicted anime, together with one item totally unrelated.

So biting the bullet we bought two.  One bag was 25 euro, if you bought two it became 45.  We settled on No Game No Life and Date A Live for them, and with low expectations we went home and opened them (sorry about the picture lightning, it was late).

The first bag we opened was No Game No Life, and well, it is a pity the "related items" are all together in one plastic bag inside, so no turn based pulling items out for me and Noshi.

Well, it's basically Wish stuff inside alas.  The plastic bag contains 4 small size posters, doublesided bookmarks, a button, a holographic sticker, and some postcards of which one was a double.  Oh well, it ain`t great stuff, but it has uses.  The buttons go on one of my wall boards, bookmarks van always be used, the stickers will go as usual on my carry case, and I have some ideas for the posters.  They will become backgrounds for the figure cabinets in the living room, as well as go on the large mirror in my atelier.

The non related item was a kitty style mouth mask, which Noshi wanted, and those are sold at cons and stores for 5 euro.  So yeah, not really the value I guess, but not a total loss either.

Opening the Date A Live bag next, we got the exact same stuff as the first one, so there a poster will also be used to decorate our Date A Live shelf.  I like the Kurumi poster btw for my mirror.

The non related item was actually a dakimakura, featuring Sena Kashiwazaki of the anime I Have No Friends.  We haven`t seen that one yet, but it is now on the Plan to Watch list.

And the bags themselves will become decorations in my very deep storage closets...

So are these bags excellent value as advertised?  No, absolutely not, but the dakimakura made up for some of the value for sure, these tend to be sold around 15 to 20 euro we saw at the event.  The other items are fun and have their uses, but don`t expect uber value treasure grabs as such from them!

But heck, it was a fun thing to do, the only thing is that we won`t be doing it again on future conventions, for 45 euro we will carry home a figure for our collection instead!
