Tamiya Full View Ferrari F2001

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

It seemed not so long long ago when I was searching around for this kit after getting hooked at just seeing the Tamiya’s Ferrari F2000 kit. Since money was a concern, I decide to get the latest version which was the F2001 and a Full View version at that. Why a transparent kit? As a noob, I do not want to risk any major “oooops” that would “spoil” this beautiful machine. Okaaay, perhaps another reason was, I don’t want to go thru the trouble to paint it. ;)

According to the guy who sold the kit to me, the shop only brought in about 2 dozens and had it distributed to a few other branches. Basically, it’s the last one that is available at that shop, which is also the head office. (Hmm, Sales talk, I presume). Without further hesitation, I bought it! (August 2003, how long ago was that, eh?)

You were the Thriller. You said “Beat It and Leave Me Alone”. You’ve even asked us to Heal The World by starting with The Man in The Mirror. You have Gone Too Soon. Thank you Michael Jackson, for whenever our life is Black or White, even in hues of gray,we will all Remember The Time. We will say to thee, “You Rock My World, MJ”. God bless you, The King of Pop, Michael Jackson .

Monday, June 8th, 2009

At last, I finally made it. After all the procrastinating, the false dawns, the countless i’ll-get-to-it-tomorrow!! I have completed these tasks :

1. taken some shots
2. uploaded the images
3. edited the images
4. uploaded to the site

Okay, to all Gundam fans and not so Gundam fans,  the photos of the Master Grade 1/100 Zeta Gundam Ver. 2.0 can be viewed here.

By the way, I didn’t transform the Zeta as :

a. I was too chickened to try for fear of snapping or damaging the Zeta
b. I do not want to scratch the paintjob.

LEGO Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Well, I ‘ve finally, uploaded the page on the LEGO Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8. It seems  like only a few months ago that both my younger brother and I spent time to assemble this LEGO set together.

We bought it from a departmental store which offered it for a 20% discount back in December 2007. Guess how long we took to assemble it? 3 weeks plus!! Okay, we only spent a couple of hours every other day in building the Formula 1 car replica. It’s really big!! (remember to have a storage place for such big display items, or else….).

PS. Just for the record, we are fans of the Scuderia Ferrari. Forza Ferrari!!

Revenge of The Fallen frenzy

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

May 30th, 2009, has come and gone. The aftermath of that day chosen by Hasbro? (FYI, it’s the worldwide launch date for ROTF, Revenge of The Fallen and no, it is not Rolling on The Floor, etc. )

Transfans (Transformers fans) has bee quick to go on a frenzy snapping up upcoming Revenge of The Fallen toys/figures. Needless to say,  ol’ big bot, Optimus Prime (Leader Class) was the hottest and the fastest of the shelf. Ditto for Megatron, he is looking stockier while Optimus is slimmer.

Strangely the Voyager Class version was not as in demand. The honours go to The Fallen. Looks unique. And of course, in less quantities as I only found one after opening 2 cases (each case consists 4 units of Voyager Class TFs)

Bumblebee’s popularity seems to be going through a dip. Why? Fans are aiming for the Deluxe Class’ silver bots. Sideswipe (Autobot) and Sideways (Decepticon).  They really look cool and sleek.

Which Transformers did you get, Transfans? And most important of all, let’s see what the upcoming movie has got for us, shall we?
