Doesn’t count stuff I’ve given away/can’t find, lol. Puts me at over $600 that I’ve spent on this franchise… but, it’s not really about the price or actual worth of these items to me, which I’ve acquired over the past decade or so, it’s about what it’s worth to me. Nowadays I’m just so glad to actually find Tenchi Muyo merchandise at conventions or stores. I’m not a pro with Ebay or buying things on the internet, I’d rather acquire things after finding them whilst racing through a temple with lions chasing after me or some kind of Indiana Jones thing…. Or digging through shelves and shelves of manga in Akihabara (which is where I got some stuff, or BookOff), though it’s okay to splurge on some things .
