I have a number of cels that were very difficult 
to obtain, and that I waited a very long time for-
-- or that I didn't think I'd ever get. But one 
of my favorites is my Raiha. ^_^

I bought my first cel maybe four or more years 
ago, but have only been seriously collecting for 
the past two or three. I've always wanted a Raiha 
very much, but had little hope of getting one. He 
doesn't show up too much, he's expensive, and 
he's cute--- so I had to content myself with a 
cel of his backside for the longest time. ^_~

During this time, I've missed out/been outbid on 
three primo Raiha's, and was beginning to despair 
of ever getting one, when I finally *did* win one-
- complete with bg, five cels in the sequence, 
two or three mouth layers, timing sheets, and a 
wheelbarrow of sketches. :o)

So yes, patience pays off! (I've never tried 
posting an animation before... we'll see how it 
works...)
