When I saw this, I just had to have it!  I love Tamaki and Haruhi as a couple, and they pretty much look like a couple here.  They look so cute together!  I also love that the rest of the gang is included (especially Hikaru and Kaoru poking Tamaki with a stick and throwing a rock at him).

I probably shouldn't have bought this, considering the price, but I did it anyway.  Since it was a Premium Bandai item (and none of the usual places I buy from had them in stock), I had to use CDJapan's service request.

Nonetheless, this is a very nice set of pins and charms.  The box is especially nice, and adds a bit of elegance to the item.  Though if you ask me, some of the charms are way too big to wear (but I don't wear charm bracelets anyway, so what do I know)?  The brooch pins are about the size of a quarter (maybe a little smaller).  Under the gold plate in the middle is a bracelet for the charms.

After buying the Moon Stick Proplica, I of course had to buy this one as well.  I bought this from Circle Red since Amazon wanted $99.99 for it!  Even with shipping, I still spent nearly $20 for this by buying it at Circle Red!  Plus I got it way sooner (as I write this now, Amazon says the Cutie Moon Rod won't be available until January 15th).  Circle Red was the better place to buy from anyway; my box came in pristine condition!

I like the Cutie Moon Rod Proplica about as much as the Moon Stick Proplica.  The colors are just as pretty, and just as life-sized.  The handle doesn't seem to be as sturdy though.  The top of the scepter is very heavy, and it almost feels like it could cause the handle to snap.  Fortunately, I just bought this to have and to display, so it's sitting safely on its stand.  The stand actually holds it very well, even though there's not much of it (I read online that some people were having trouble with the scepter falling off of the stand; I haven't had this problem).

I thought I was going to have to find a proxy in order to buy these (since Premium Bandai limited these to 5 per customer, like they usually do with their highly desirable products), but then I found them at Big In Japan.  I'm glad I was able to snatch them before anyone else could from Big In Japan.

The individual pointers seem to be a lot more available than they used to be, but I'm glad I got the box set.  I think this looks nicer than the individual boxes.  Plus it sparkles!

This puzzle is tiny!  I didn't realize it was going to be so small when I bought it (I didn't read the dimensions on the website, of course)!  The finished puzzle is about 4" x 6", and the pieces are about 1 cm big.  But there's only 150 pieces, so it was pretty quick to solve.

I would have liked to have all of the mini puzzles (which I think was 6 total including this one), but I thought that might be a little expensive.  So I opted for this one that included all of the girls.

I was excited when this puzzle was announced since I love puzzles.  I don't really care for the art (it's never been one of my favorite pictures), but I decided to buy it anyway.

This ended up being an easier puzzle to solve, unlike my GE puzzle.  I thought the black parts were going to be difficult, but there actually weren't a lot of pure black pieces.  Also, unlike my GE puzzle, this one came supplied with glue.  I don't ever plan to use it, but I thought it was kind of neat to include it

When I first heard about these water globes, I was intrigued.  I didn't know what they were exactly, but I thought they were cute (especially the holy grail) and went ahead and bought them.  I probably won't ever fill them with water, but I might display them one day (when I have a place to display them).

I thought I wasn't going to be able to buy these because CDJapan wasn't able to be a proxy (this was another Premium Bandai item that was limited to 5 per person).  Fortunately, Big In Japan had some open slots, so I was able to buy it them (though I can't tell if I was overcharged for this or not).

These are a lot bigger than I expected.  The box itself has to be more than 12 inches in length!  Sailor Moon's disguise pen isn't as large as the Moonlight Memories' version, but it's still a nice size (it would actually be nicer to use as an actual pen).  I don't think it lights up, either.

Along with the Pluto Deco Sticker, I bought a Uranus version as well.  I still think it's too small, but I love it anyway since it features my favorite character.

This is a sticker for a cell phone, and I decided I get it because I love Sailor Pluto.  It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but I guess it's about the size it should be (considering it's for a cell phone).

These chopsticks were another limited quantity item (seriously Bandai, it's really annoying when you do that), and I was afraid I wasn't going to get them.  But, like the lip rods, I was able to get them from CDJapan before it was too late.

Sometimes, I really hate Bandai, especially Premium Bandai, and especially when they sell some items in limited quantities.  I really thought I wasn't going to get these, and that I'd have to spend a fortune on an auction website later trying to get them.  Fortunately, CDJapan was able to act as a deputy and buy them (though I did have to spend a pretty penny on EMS shipping).

Now I just need to get the moon stick lip rod to complete the collection.

After all the 20th anniversary stationary that has been released (and I was not able to get), I was really excited when I saw these!  I've wanted some of the stationary items, but didn't want to spend that much money.  And these feature my favorite character too boot!

One is a mechanical pencil (left) and one is a pen (right).  They're a little expensive for pens and pencils, but well worth the price.

I thought this was just a pencil case, but it actually goes with the schedule book.  As such, it's quite small and can only hold a few items (like maybe the matching pen and pencil).  I kind of wish this was bigger, but I guess it will hold the only pen and pencil I bought.  Still, I wish it hadn't been so expensive for being as small as it is.

These also go with the schedule book, and I bought them because of the Outer Senshi (of course).  These are much smaller than I thought they'd be.  I think the Outer Senshi stickers are only about the size of a quarter.

These are for the schedule book, and were too cute to pass up!  I didn't realize they were for the schedule book, though, so I thought they were going to be bigger.  The characters are probably about the size of a dime, and the accents are even smaller!

Normally I don't spend $22 on stationary, but I decided this one looked good enough to spend the money on.  It's kind of small though, especially considering the price (it's only about 5-6" in length).

I've wanted this puzzle for a long time, but I didn't want to spend $25+ on it.  Fortunately, I found it on Hot Topic on sale for only $16, so I had to buy it!

I underestimated the difficulty of a 1000 piece puzzle.  The blue sky, blue water, and red cape took an especially long time to figure out!  I'm still amazed I managed to finish it!

I've wanted this set of playing cards for a while but haven't had to extra spending room because of other Sailor Moon merchandise.  But then Hot Topic had a free shipping after spending $30+, so I bought these to get my purchase up to the $30 minimum.

...And of course the Sailor Moon Sailor Stars Playing Cards came out right after I bought these.
