Anyhow, things are back on track, and I have time now to share my Gundam hobby with everyone again. So the Thanksgiving / Christmas holiday was not much of a holiday for me...obviously. And I also didn't get any Gundam related Christmas presents (unlike someone...BusterBeam *cough*) But I did acquired for myself some well deserved loots after the holidays.
Here are some goods directly from Hong Kong:
- MG Exia
- HG Kshatriya
- HG Full Armor Gundam 7th Unit
- Modeling Tools (Hagasewa Tri-Tool & Tamiya Polyester Putty)
I had also recently found a great vendor, whom I visited today. The owner was very nice and gave me a little tour of his warehouse, which is stocked with lots of Gundam stuff. You can search for his items on Ebay / Amazon (Search Robot4Less). His pricing is very competitive, so if you are in the U.S., you should really check out his online stores. And I got the following goods from him:
- HG Unicorn Gundam (Unicorn mode)
- HG Unicorn Gundam (Destroy mode)
- HG GM Quel
- 2 bottles of Mr. Hobby - Clear Red (Which is very hard to find locally)
- 6 cans of topcoat products & some Gundam Markers
A Merry Belated Christmas for G.G.
Another expensive item I got for myself this week was a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), or simply a graphic card for my computer. My old card died on me during the holiday, and it was a pretty good card too (Geforce GTX 8800 Ultra). But now I got something even better, faster, and prettier... the Geforce GTX 295.
The card itself has the weight & size of a brick.
And stands quite tall compare to the MG Hi-Nu Gundam. So now I can Game On!!!
I plan to get back to my long overdue HG 0 Gundam and other kits, hoping to finish one kit by the end of this month. And I will then mainly focus on Unicorn series kits afterwards. So more updates coming soon.
HAhAhah, Glad to see you back, and what a loot.
ReplyDeleteHoping for the best that your family member beats cancer.
Nice to have you back, looking forward to see more GUNPLA here!!! ^_^

Great to have you back, and nice loot you've got for yourself for christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnd also a Happy New Year to you, I also wish that your family member will make a speedy recovery from cancer.
Thanks everyone for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to finally get time to update my blog. And I intend to get back on the gunpla building horse.
BB: GM Quel has always been one of my favorite GM design. But it is so hard to find one at a reasonable price...until yesterday. =)
And thanks for the encouragment about the cancer situation. We will fight hard indeed.
