The musical instrument collection is on hold for a while. I have two more I'm eyeing (higher-grade cousins of the grudge-fucking harmonica-flute) but that won't happen for months, if ever. Also the "musical duck call" I showed above is one that now has me interested in learning to play competently so I've actually bought a few extras for it (cases, etc.). These aren't of particular interest, however, in terms of collecting musical instruments so I won't be showing them here. They're in the collection if you absolutely must see them.
In addition, my latest round of buying playing cards is at an end with these two decks:
Plastic 上大人 (Big Men) Deck
Plastic 上大人 (Big Men) Deck
Another Plastic 上大人 (Big Men) Deck
Another Plastic 上大人 (Big Men) Deck
These are decks that, embarrassingly enough, come from my neck of the woods yet which I utterly failed to become aware of until I'd reached what I thought was the end of my card purchasing spree.
Now I have reached the end. Unless I've missed more, of course…
There is no visible end to the kitschy Maomorabilia that I find so endearing, though. I think I could collect this for all of eternity and still never run out. Latest joiners of the collection:
