Batman fever!

Dark Knight Rises was AWESOME!! Went to Borders and bought these two; from where the plot mainly came from - Knightfall.. Ahh... the good ol' days of comic book collecting :)

But TDKR also the last of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy... *sob sob*... I'm missing it already.....

Macross Frontier: Bandai's 1/60 VF-171EX Alto Saotome Custom

Breaking out of Macross retirement! When I heard XL-Shop already received and sold-out on this VF-171EX, I hurriedly called Uncle, "Are you getting this? If yes, please reserve for me!!!" And surprise-surprise, he did get one and only ONE of it. Here it is:

Box art. simple. neat.

Fighter mode:


Fighter mode is easily the most beautiful of the 3... sleek and compact. No loose parts or anything. I guess Bandai made Alto's color first as he is the hero of the show. I bet they won't waste the chance to repaint it into the cannon fodder color too, since they are the ones which show up most of the time (being blown to bits by Vajra hahaa)...

Gerwalk:


with a removable Alto figure.

 Battroid:

 

Battroid is the hardest mode to transform to... the joints are super-stiff and the instructions are not clear. The chest-piece keeps flopping around and parts fall off as you try to figure out the right steps! Fortunately, it gets a lot easier the subsequent times once you know the "trick" points... :D

Now waiting for the super parts to make it even fiercer!

Updates

The blog has gone all silent for pretty much since I moved to the new house. Moving stuff, buying stuff, cleaning stuff certainly takes up most of my time. Events in the office are also not helping... and most critically, there is no Streamyx connection and my Digi broadband is super slow here (I guess no coverage)... Sigh, luckily today is a holiday, can catch up on some much needed rest! :)

GI Joe Retaliation figures

Something crazy tha I got yesterday: GI Joe:Retaliation figures

... @ RM61.95 each... INSANE!!! Yeah, that's referring to me... the movie may have been postponed but the first wave of figures have arrived. Well, my insanity only allowed me to buy my 3 favourite figures: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Red Ninja... the rest I will wait for clearance!

"Moving Day!"

Finally, it's Moving Day! Even though some renovation was still ongoing, but what the heck, we cannot wait any longer - the date was decided as 5 May

Welcome...

A simple moving-in ceremony


Which included also cooking our first meal there. 5 May was Wesak Day, so we went ahead with .... vegetarian maggi mee :P

 
The house is kinda messy right now as there's a lot of boxes being moved in! Above is only a snapshot of the "shipment" hahaha...

"More stuff coming in!"

Display cabinet, originally intended to be placed inside museum, but then space is limited :P


Museum now being populated also...


study/computer table
 
 Bookshelf
 
Mattress also in... from Getha

"Furniture has arrived!"

Furniture has arrived!

 But first, the last of the built-in carpentry has also arrived, the shoe cabinet... much nicer than the 3D drawing which they gave...

And here's the dining table from Kamay; marble with high gloss surface and stainless steel legs

 
 2 white and 2 black chairs :P


And here's the sofa.... RED sofa...haha... goes along with the yellow fan :D Oh ya, the curtain has also arrived :)


And a high-gloss white coffee table
