"Chinese New Year deco?!"

Deco at Queensbay... on the 1st of Jan! Haha.. barely had time to catch a breath after X-mas and New Year!

"Happy 2012!!"

Would like to wish everyone a Happy 2012!

"Macross Frontier: Bandai's YF-29, now with Super Parts!"

Remember some time ago I scoffed at Bandai's YF-29 design and wasn't too keen on getting it? Now it's sold out everywhere and the prices on ebay have skyrocketed to US500 each!!! The fighter plane does play a reasonable part in the final battle with Brera's VF-27 in Macross F: Wings of Goodbye. And now Bandai has released the compulsory super parts. I pulled some pics from gamu-toys:

SUPER.WICKED @_@

Arghhhh I should've bought it last time!!!! :( Bandai, please reissue it...........! I promise never to doubt u agaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnnn~~~~~~~~~~~

"Birthday 2011!"

Went to Daorae Korean BBQ restaurant on 22nd Nov to pre-celebrate my birthday for 2011. But we didn't order the BBQ set coz it was too expensive! Hehe, just ordered one meal for each of us.


Ok, I don't look too bad after the fall..hahaha


Wasn't long before they served us the usual starter dishes


Wife's favourite, the kimuchi soup with tofu and pork... served with rice


My fried rice with glass noodles


comes with soup

Then they surprised us by handing out these freebies:

steamed egg..


pancake...


fruits...


and this sweet/ginger-ish desert.

Wow! All for RM40. Really satisfied meal!! :D The next day I had lunch with my colleagues at Kim Gary , utilizing the 50% discount voucher, and had a light japanese dinner at Azuma. Had to drop by TRU, managed to find myself a 2nd Marvel Universe figure:

Darkhawk... ain't he cool? :P

"Yamato's 1/60 VF-17S Diamond Force!"

Macross news has been a bit slow around here, but coming this Dec is the long-awaited VF-17S Diamond Force from Macross 7! This is ace pilot Gamlin Kizaki's ride~~

Fighter:



Drooling... it's super sleek!

Gerwalk:

Weird Gerwalk mode, coz there are no arms :P

Battroid:


Wicked 4 antenna skull-type head :P

HLJ has it on pre-order for 22320 Yen, which is about RM921!!! That's why Macross news is slow around here :-S

"Star Wars Ultimate FX Lightsabers!"

I'll been slowly collecting these, starting with Darth Vader's. Found that the quality is quite good, and that it really feels like a real lightsaber, so I went and bought the next one, Jedi Luke's lightsaber.. and yesterday finally getting Anakin's lightsaber. Complete collection of Blue, Red and Green sabers:

Vader's


Anakin's


Jedi Luke's


Altogether now! Luke's green is the brightest one~~

The hilts are plastic, but they are given metallic paint to look, well, like metal.. The tube is plastic too, so there's no fear of breaking it as you practice swinging them around :P I should take a video to show the "light-up" and motion sensor effects too; really cool! Each retails for RM159.90, but TRU is having them for RM139.90 each now.

"Heroic Age Captain America!"

Found this Heroic Age Captain America (Comic Series) from Uncle's shop going for RM29.90 (retail price RM39.90)! I usually would only collect Movie Series line, but I like this figure's design with the shiny colors~~

Macho look


His shield springs open blades


Knife and pistol

Seems like Captain America figures are set to follow Thor into the clearance bins... then I'll grab a few more Comic Series design which are rather unique, like the WW2 Battlefield CA! :D
