bluelineccsakuracollection:So now it’s time to have an in depth look at the Sakura Book! It’s a pretty good recreation from the show, the front and back are decorated and well detailed, and the gold borders are nice and shiny. The Clasp is a simple jaw style clasp that holds firmly but also pops easily. What I mean is it’s a good strap.The Cards are nice, they’re the same quality as the Clow Book cards. Some sort of laminate card with show accurate depictions. Each card is named, “signed” by Sakura, and numbered. The numbers have nothing to do with the transformation order, and I’d have to check episode by episode but I don’t think they go by catch order either. The numbers I imagine are for the electronic game mode of this toy. Speaking of which,Unlike the Clow Book toy (The american one anyway), this book doubles as an electronic toy, with some sort of game I have yet to figure how to play, because I haven’t taken time to read the instruction book and translate it. What I can talk about is the card reader being pretty decent. It’s nicely sized so the cards don’t slide or scrape. The cards go in and our smoothly so I don’t feel like there is a risk of damaging these cards, as long as you’re not slapping them in there. They’re meant to be inserted, not thrown.The Sun, smaller Sun, and Moon are all buttons and I imagine they’re used in the game. When I figure out how to play the game maybe I’ll blog a bit about that. In the mean time…Recommendation: Well duh, it’s awesome. Try to get one. However it’s a rare piece to find in mint or good condition, and you will easily be paying triple digits for it now. What do I think is reasonable? Originally I offered $200, it ended up being closer to $350 when shipping was done with. Definitely a “crown jewel” in my collection now. I would not pay over $400 for this, which was an offer made to me, but I held out for a better one from another seller. Anything over $400 you shouldn’t take unless you just don’t like your own money.I want this. -- source link
