Updates for the last week of Feb

Well, didn't really get that much stuff over the last week of Feb. Carrefour had a 20% off on all Hasbro stuff, which was a nice surprise, so I picked up the probably-last new mold for the Movie line, Deluxe Stockade ($26.90 before discount). His transformation IS amazingly simple. Nifty figure none the less :) Also picked up 3 more Galactic Heroes sets, Anakin (Clone Wars) & Clone Trooper, Dark Side Anakin & Clone Trooper, and Emperor & Clone Trooper ($8 after discount). Eh yeah, all Clone Trooper sets heh. I have like, hmm, quite a few Clone Troopers already :)

The gf also came back over the weekend! She got me the two smaller Exo-Force sets from the last line, River Dragon and Battle Arachnoid, as well as a spare Shadow Crawler which was sale-ing off for AU$14. It's so sad that this is the last installment of Exo-Force, cos if the two small sets are anything to go by, this could be the best of the line yet! Alas, they're cutting the line, sadness is me :(

Oh yes, almost forgot, I picked up Movie Realisation Eva 1 from Mike as well, looks VERY nice! Haven't had the time nor space to open it yet tho, will do so soon!

It's raining toys. Ouch.

More on the title later :

Headed down to Uncle Ng's today after the meeting, and DAMMIT I SHOULD'VE PICKED UP SEAHORSE THAT DAY. He was nice enough to spare me one , but that meant that I had to settle for that one piece, which thankfully was in pretty good condition. Still. I had 12 pieces to choose from that day : \ So with Seahorse Baian ($55) in hand, I'm all caught up with SS Myth Cloth!

I opened up Seahorse Baian cos it was double sealed, so wanted to check if everything was ok. Pretty good piece, it actually looks more interesting in person than in pictures. After putting him back in the box, I decided to open up Merak Hagen, which I was intending to do last night but too tired to.

Now about the entry title.

I wanted to display Hagen, so I thought I would take the Myth Cloth stand that currently holds SIC Faiz Blaster and SIC Ibuki. It's a perilous task to do that cos that shelf is PACKED. To the BRIM. And I certainly paid a price for that. On moving SIC Todoroki, EVERYTHING in front just FELL. So down came SH Den-O sword, rod and axe forms, Sasword and SIC Zanki. Onto my messy side table below. Sword Form's shoulder plates came out in the process, intiating a panicked search amongst the mess, but thankfully I found them. On hindsight, if not for the mess, they would have hit the floor which was MUCH further below. Anyway, no real casualties, although I think Rod form had a bit of the mask scratched, although I can't really tell.

The irony?

I had the spare Myth Cloth stands which I got from KL. So I used them in the end. *sigh*

While rearranging the figures on the shelf, I had a bloody shock: SH Zabee's left forearm just CAME OFF. Yes, the joint just snapped right off! WTF!! I'm just waiting for Sheng Tai to bring in Kabuto now, so I can get a cheap replacement for Zabee >:

Anyway, it's the eve of CNY tmrw, so Happy Lunar New Year to all! Here's to a wonderful year of the Rat!

A trip to the Hangar

Made my way down to Falcon's today after a really long time! Roy gave me some tips on studying for accounting mods after I told him how I was screwed by them (as usual) last term, which were really helpful! Reminds me why I feel so at home there : )

Anyway, picked up my SIC Kuuga Rising Form ($55) which has been sitting there for a long time, Galactic Heroes Luke and R2 ($5) (which I missed during the Falcon's sale) as well as Incinerator ($50)! Didn't know it'd be out so soon, and surprise surpsrise, the TakTomy Allspark figures come with a small Allspark cube! (Seen below in the hands of Landmine)

Fits into the palm of your hand!

Really cute little addition to the series, and a welcome one at that. Now to find a minature figure to feed the cube to Megatron's chest >: )

Apparently Allspark Stockade is out at TRU, shall have a look soon.
