A Donating Figure

In the last two weeks of March HLJ, where I have ordered all of my figures so far, had a campaign where they raised all of their prices by 2%. These 2% plus another 2% of the normal price where then given directly to Japanese Red Cross to help the victims of the earthquake.

I used that as an excuse to order yet another figure. My order were only ¥6,116, meaning I have indirectly donated ¥240 - which is around $2.86, so almost nothing :| . HLJ have now announced that they donated a total of ¥1,940,000! That's $23,100! There is a big step from my order up to that :) .

Doing a bit of calculations and guessing I can conclude that HLJ have a "normal" revenue over two weeks of about ¥48,500,000, or $577,500! Which might be from around 10,000 orders in total. That is quite a lot :o .

Even though HLJ shipped my figure over a week ago they have not actually captured the money from my bank account until today - so technically my money where not part of their donation :P .
