I've been getting damn near that sort of reception at the local games/comic shop. They used the cunning sales ploy of giving me several books of vouchers for discounts back in December. They expire end of the month and it should take me the next year or so to finish reading and watching the various purchases. My staggering out of the shop, painfully heavy rucksack on my back is now a common sight and it pains me to think how much of my wages they have.
And, what with this thread plus the episode of Mai-Hime on the DVD in Newtype this month, I'm well and truly converted.
