Short Stay in KL

Shopping Spree...

I can go to KL plz?

After keeping asking my parents to let me to go KL (for like 5 times), they finally let me go! Under one condition, with some companions. Which I brought 2 of my younger cousins, but crap do we need to walk all day since we get lost a little sometime. Haha.

Taken outside Tune Hotel.

What's my main reason to go KL? Shop for model kits, while one of my cousin was shopping for his Chinese New Year clothes and another one is just for entertainment, such as arcade, gashapons and souvenirs.

Boy, do we ever had so much problem going to the Tune Hotel. It's a new hotel where many many people do not know it's existance yet. Tune Hotel is by Air Asia, yes you heard me right, by Air Asia. Not to say the obviousity, red and white painted hotel and toilet's accessories are need to pay seperately and also there's credit for aircondition. Nonetheless, the room still have fan and it's cheap.


The only arcade I spend in KL.


Lucky Star @ Taiko no Tatsujin 10 from SWATwolf on Vimeo.

Our 1st destination was Mid Valley. Mainly because I wanted to meet up with Doomsday for a Transformer, Jason for the R4 and hang out and to play Taiko no Tatsujin 10 in Jusco. The Taiko 10 is totally sweet! With over 100 songs and updated anime songs from Lucky Star, Haruhi, Naruto, Gintama and such. For Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune 3 (WMMT3)? It's way better than Initial D Arcade Stage 4. With 4 player battle and top notch and loud song, nothing can beat this game! Hopefully soon enough they will bring in WMMT3 to Kuching.

Mine!!!

The path are so small I can't even walk properly.

Next, we went to Time Square and as for me SD Gundam Hunting Time! As usual the stock of the gundams in KL are enormous. But nonetheless, I bought quite some back with me. Not to mention help Darklancer to find some old musha gundams. Okay, it's almost 10pm and most of the shop were closing. Can't miss the last train or we'll be doomed!

Our dinner for the LULz.

In Tune Hotel, there's a sandwich restaurant called Subway. As I always thought those restaurants are always 24 hours and did I not know they closed at 10.30pm. We were exhausted and planned to only come down for dinner on 11pm. It's closed! We were forced to go to the 7-Eleven and buy some cup noodles.
---
The next day, I woke up early to sit on LRT and Putra train to meet on of my interent friend named Kho who helped me to buy some SD gundams way before I came to KL. Thanks alot buddy! After that we gone to Sogo, a shopping mall that's closed to our hotel, we played some arcade and have lunch there. Then, we gone back to hotel for some rest and off we go back to Butterworth.

ZOMG, Gunplaman!

Guess what are those model sleeping inside the bag and plastic bag? I'll list them out on the next post. Haha. I guess that the end of the journey for this post. Thanks for reading and see you guys back in Kuching on the 29th January!

Sangoku SD Gundams

Another parody for SD Gundam.

The 3 brothers.

A while ago, Bandai announced new series for SD Gundam. A Romance of Three Kingdom series. Right now they only released Lui Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. Lui Bei is the main character for this series.

Comic given, so far 3 volumes.

The reason why these SD gundam are worth buying because they come with a booklet and comic in full color! Lui Bei will be included a A1 size of 2 sided poster and a comic! These SD Gundams aren't expensive at all! I got mine for MYR22 (USD6.5) each.

Folded Special Book.


A1 size double sided poster.

The special book contain an A1 size poster while another side is the roughly explain storyline and character introduction for this series.

I was suppose to look for Transformers toys but end up buying these 3 SD gundams. Haha. That's all. Thanks for reading.

Gundam 00 Gunpla

Announced. Ready?

The Advertistment for the show.

The latest Gundam Series, Gundam 00 is airing on TBS Channel this coming October. The story plot is actually different from any other series which consist of War between different organizer, this Gundam 00 story plot is actually stopping the war. Pretty different. I might take a look at this series when it's released.

Gundam 00 Gunpla First Grade.

Alright, let's get to the main thing I wanted to say, which is about the Gundam 00 Gunpla. The first Gundam 00 Gunpla will be represent on the latest grade, FG 1/144 (First Grade). As far as I know, FG is actually having more lower quality than NG 1/144 (Normal Grade) does. Hence, its a very good start for new Gunpla Collector to start with paint job and lining as it only cost around USD8.5 or MYR30.

HCMpro for Gundam 00.

HCMpro, which stands for High Complete Model Progressive at 1/200 scale. We usually call it Fixed Figurine. So far, Bandai only announced Gundam Exia and Gundam Dynames. So usually, HCMpro Gunpla are meant for those consumer who loves Gunpla but don't have the time to assemble.

Gunpla Date Announcement for Gundam 00.

Bandai has list it all. All the date for Gundam 00's Gunpla. As stated, Gundam Collection series will be release in August. FG series will be release in September, that's early! And lastly, HCMpro will be release in October.HG 1/144 (High Grade), MG 1/100 (Master Grade), PG (Perfect Grade) or Large Scale 1/60 had been announced too but without date announcement.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading.

So many Gunpla yet so little time.

With my noobish skill on Gunpla marking and painting. I need a lot of time on assembling, painting and marking a Gunpla. Oh well, I finally finished up my SD Strike Gundam: Striker System Weapon, took me roughly 3 weeks. Though, the weapon are not completely colored yet. The knife are actually taken from the SD Strike Gundam. Here is the finishing work.

The backpack could be a nice stand.

On the other hand, I have a Gundam Grossbone X1 Ver. Ka. Its only barely halfway done. I have difficult time on the head and nearly lost a part on the waist. Luckily I found it back! Sigh... wish I have more time and patient on doing all this Gunpla I have bought. Its really late night here and I planned to stop assemble it at the moment. Here is the result.

Halfway done.

  • SD Gundam Strike Freedom
  • SD Gundam Freedom
  • SD Gundam Strike Noir
  • SD Gundam Verde Buster
  • SD Gundam Blu Duel
