hold up there riven, and please try and catch 
your breath. 
also, please don't jump off a cliff.
you're not the only one who wants a nuriko cel. 
we've all been watching nuri prices go higher and 
higher, it didn't happen overnight. 
let's face it, nuriko is damn cool, thus demand 
for him goes up and prices with it.
you've got some really nice cels, be thankful for 
each of them and concentrate on what you DO have, 
not what you don't.

I don't like getting flamed any more than the 
next person, but frankly I don't have the energy 
to keep quiet today. I wish FY collectors would 
please quit crying. we're collecting a great 
series, and most of us have a few(or a lot of) 
gems in our collections, so can't we be happy 
with that? lately, the rest of the cel collecting 
world thinks we're all NUTS. I get asked all the 
time why I continue to collect FY when the prices 
have skyrocketed and the number of fanatics has 
soared. my answer is that I love this series, and 
I prefer the art to any other anime. but if FY 
collecting continues to seem to bring more woe 
than happiness to a cel community that I happen 
to really like, just call me leigh jr...

un-anonymously yours,
mina
