Morphy Auction - I won what?

One of my big toy regrets was hearing about the auction of auctions late last year. So many I would have gone for but alas, that boat has sailed.

A smaller collection was recently offered again at Morphy's. Most of the lots had a piece of two we were interested in but not enough to bid. I was attracted to five lots. One had the Canico Cats, a Charactics lot with a mini Gezora I needed, the Buta no Hana and two Booska lots.

Nate and I just spent money at Super7 Anniversary so we couldn't really bid at all. My eyes kept wandering towards the Booskas. I was like, what the hell. I bid on lot #551 but the reserve on it was past my budget. So I went for my second choice, lot #550 and my bid was accepted.

I was able to see the auction live and saw the one lot I bid on go past my reserve. I was like, "Oh well." But a day or so later I got notification I actually won the lot. o___o

I then paid for my win and now the waiting ends as this big box arrived at my home. It's a great way to come home from a tiring day at work.

Nate opened my box as I watched the cats gathering around the couches for a chance to go in it.

The giant Marusan and M1Go Booskas are the primary reasons I went for the lot. The rest I don't mind and I can use with the Yotsuba project. There's one piece I am not really into and I will probably sell that off to the board if I can.

This was our first non-Ebay auction win and I kind of enjoyed it. Granted the 17% buyer's fee hurt but in the end with just the two pieces in this lot, I got a steal. Plus a new obsession with Booska begins to Nate's dismay.
