I've been wanting another Blizzard Blade (Kopaka Phantoka's miniature weapon thing) for some time now. My initial thought was to buy one off a website, but given the P&P costs (and all the other pieces I'd inevitably buy) I couldn't help but wonder if buying a second Kopaka set wouldn't be cheaper - or at the very least better value for money (an entirely different concept from cheaper. Don't let the adverts tell you otherwise).

Well, I was right! I was happily wandering around town when I happened to spot Kopaka Phantoka in Woolworths. I've seen him there before, but I was loathe to pay full price for a set I want a single piece from. I check the price tag: £3.49 - less than half price. "Hey, that's not bad," thinks I. It takes only an instant for me to decide whether to buy it or not.

I get to the checkout, set in hand. The cashier scans it. "That's £2.00 please," she says.

£2.00! I could hardly believe it. That's fully a quarter of the price! Complain I did not and out I walked, a very happy customer indeed!

I also have Pocky. They are very tasty.
