An Alien Life of Starboykb

Probably I am simply too self bargain thinking without realizing it. I couldn’t help it yesterday and went to open and played with it. After messing around with the toy, posing and doing transformation into alternator mode. I just realize that the Hasbro value pack version actually has much degrades in colors, quality and more mess up on some parts of the toys. This just worried me so I went to check the current value pack Rodimus and Starscream, including Twin Pack, Jetfire and Grimlock. Only two of them quality looks bad and the other two is okay for Rodimus and Jetfire. The worst is the Autobot and Decepticon badges are using stickers rather than printed on it. I maybe wrong about this because I remember during my childhood ages, most of my headmaster Transformers do have the similar sticker’s badges. I should have asked Stephenus Prime for advice earlier but it just never pop into my mind about this question. Because of this, I went to do some search on Google to find some answ...

What a crap coming end of the year 2009. My car got crawl by ants trying to make a home inside my car and now the back of the car boot handle broke! Geezzz! I am trying to sell off one of my MG plastic kit to fix it. Anyhow, this is brand new Master Grade Destiny Gundam I brought this year and I am going to give the water decal for free by closing one eye. Well, I am the person doesn’t like to use stickers, so before I assemble any MG or HG kits, I will need to use water decals no matter what. Without any of those, I will not build them even if I got the spray paint ready. The price for this MG is B$68.00 only and will deliver up to Tutong areas only. Do not worry any missing parts as I always done a full inspections once it arrived! Self pick up is all welcome! Lastly, no price negotiation and non-returnable ! Any of you interested can contact me through the contact link above. Thank you. Closed

Reopen! Figma Drossel for sale! Any locals who are interest buying can contact me by clicking the contact link above. This is a brand new Figma and never played except only open the seal below for inspecting the helmet before requesting GSC for parts replacement for my another one (left). This is the good one compare to mine current out from the box which originally have two damage. My final price is B$55.00 and free delivery up until Tutong town (sorry, my lousy car issue). Please, NO price negotiation as I already decided not to include any shipping price on this new figure. Extra: Any of you can click the “ Garage Sales ” category to find out more what I am selling from out of the box or brand new items in the future. I will focus the sales in local only at the moment.

Woo! Hoo! Another three arrived this week! They are from Ami-Ami, HLJ (again) and eBay seller. Yes, most of them are Transformers and Revoltech Full Metal Panic! action toys. Probably you guys didn’t expect a character statue in my list for this month. Yes, that is Kobato Hanato from Clamp . I already eyeing Kobato for quite a while and finding the best price to get her at Ami-Ami . Yes, it’s a very beautiful made quality figure from Kotobukiya below 4,000 Yen and I like the packing too. Two more coming!

Just check out the coverage at: CH-Toynation.com – Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 Shewsbury.com – Part 1 and Part 2 Hobby Chaos – Click Here Jojosochi Collection – Click Here Gun-Pla Addiction – Click Here All comes with different photos, so have fun looking at the events. Really hope next time I can visit the event, not until I got my own new car and nice camera. ^^;;; Ah…all goes to my toys. yikes!

This are the first half orders from Robot Kingdom, Hobby Link Japan and Hobby Search. They have arrived in the post last week which I pick up in the morning today. Not a really good timing for me because of encountering two holidays on Saturday (coming this week too) and this is hard for me to pick up the rest sooner. Even my boss is not around, I am not okay during with my work probation. I probably need my aunt to help this time. Two more probably might arrive by this week or next. The rest of them are from Ebay which probably follow soon or wait till next month. Anyway, I will be doing the short review on each Transformers I brought next year once I done photo booth setup. Truly, I really fall in love on Transformers Universe and Henkei again after seeing it myself. More to come!

I had to be honest to myself. Ebay is a crazy place to find products. Way so crazy I was entirely drawn into bidding on some exclusive Transformers that hard to find in the markets today. I already won one and some is still ongoing until it ends tomorrow. Lucky one of them already outbid me and I feel relieve now, just hope that asshole really pays up. All else I have to burden the cost. Fuck! If you wonder what kind of exclusive stuff I am into. Here is one of em, the Dengeki Hobby Energon Superlink Rodimus Convoy (black version and only 5000 released in Japan only). If I had more money at hand, I would definitely keep going to outbid this. But at the moment, really hate to skip this offer due to unforeseen over spending this December and got too reserved for the last payment on my last hope bid until tomorrow. If any of you guys are interested on this item, good news to you all that the bidding still running for one more week. For your information, Robot Kingdom is selling it f...

I can’t believe it either seeing my entire life blowing my whole month saving on toys! This is going to hit me hard next month. There is two more pending on the payments and I have no idea what to do about it especially on the ebay I recently got obsessed on bidding. Right now, gives up on the remaining orders and hopefully someone would outbid me on the items I (really) wanted to purchase. I’m not sure how the seller react if I don’t pay up if I won the auction, but I’m sure it would be bad getting blacklisted by Ebay LOL. Hope my explanations excuse may turn the table and wish someone outbid me. HA! The only things I can think of solving this issue is raise my credit card limit from B$500.00 to B$700.00 at the moment and it’s already approved. I also settle it early to lower down the credit limit a bit. Well, can’t say how long it would takes to reach new limit again due to the undecided pending payments. I really hopes everything goes smoothly until new year. Hate to say I didn’t ...

Yes! From this month onward, I am going to concentrating 50% collections on Transformers toys line. Not all, but mostly on the Universe and those limited or exclusive release versions. For movie version, it is undecided if I should go for it or not. Don’t get me wrong, the designs are cool. It just doesn’t move my heart yet. Another watch out list is the recent announcement of the new Transformers game for next year, War For Cybertron. The new toys rumors are also already in the work so you guys should keep watching on the TF news site. If you haven’t seen yet, you guys should check it out the video trailer! It’s awesome! Okay now, I did miss quite a lot during these past years and really hope Hasbro and Takara Tomy would re-release again. I know it’s very unlikely, since Takara Tomy has already announced stop producing Henkei! line and only release those exclusive version in the market. This is going to be hard getting most of them through Japanese online shops. Even I hardly fin...

As always end of the year, my life is definitely going to be boring. Since I started my new job last on October, it will take a while until next year I can take leave for vacation or rest. Hate to keep on thinking about it. Anyway, I have some unfinished DIY projects left in my lists which for one I am planning to build a nice small photo booth for shooting my toys and gadgets. It sure took me a while on the planning. I think almost few months delay and nope, it still in progress at the moment because I continue to look up on some budgets setup guide on the website. I manage find some and very useful guide online so far to improve my ideas on the design. Sadly, I do find it there were many draws back for long term used, so most likely it doesn’t work pretty well for me especially when you are considering using hard boxes and then the lighting position is going to be pain in the ass. Not to mention most of the stuffs do not available in Brunei so we have to look for other options and ...

I am starting to hate Hobby Search more and more than ever. It seems like their customer’s services and the system of their pissed me off greatly whenever I place my order. Some of you might not have any problem with them, in my case there were a lot and I am pretty disappointing with the treatment. If you read my previous post about the Visa card issue, it was confirm by HSBC staff that require for replacement (Shewsbury previous comment also mentions it) next week because I stop the transaction. This is really too bad for me to renew everything again including the Paypal. According to the bank, the transaction was also already blocked. I was wondering how Hobby Search going to react when the card numbers was already cancel? Hahaha… No, I am kind enough to ask them to tell me the name they are using it to charge the customers. They just continue so stubborn and refuse to tell and so, I block the transaction as I treat it as a fraud charges. I also received the response from the ...

Apparently, it was Hobby Search mistake causing confusion on my HSBC credit card transaction. I just received the information that my item was shipped out while ago and after checking the amount. It was 2,116 Yen that was mention by the operator and damn, because of their system made a big mistake on my order. I told the HSBC guy that was not the order I made yesterday because the amount is more than 2,000 yen. This got me into a mess and now my Visa card has to be ban and require replacing for a new one. Geezzz! God damn it, Hobby Search. Now I have to wait for their response on their ordering system mistake and also either going to HSBC bank or wait for their call if it possible to lift my Visa card ban. Argg… Man, just now, I thought who is calling my hand phone when seeing the unknown number. Didn’t expect that was HSBC operator (whom I thought is the kidnapper) and inform me that there are unauthorized transactions charges made from Japan. I have no idea who was that company a...

Toy-Wave is another alternative online shop to look for special release or limited Japanese toys from Hong Kong. They even have something you couldn’t possibly find again in other store today as well. However, all of these come at a high price even many normal items which I can conclude the marks up are around estimate more than 15-20%. How do I know? It’s pretty easy if you read the company details (even look at the price on the website). They reveal a hint themselves that if you visit their shop in Hong Kong, you will entitle 10% off purchasing directly. Don’t you think this is sounds like telling us we should be paying another 10% extra charges to cover their losses selling through the website? Well, maybe I am wrong and probably mean a special discount for visitor and foreigner buyers. LOL! The worst I discover is seeing those bundling figures or plastic kits from magazines like Dengeki Hobby and Hobby Japan are selling separately with at least two times the price. My advi...

It was really great timing ordering toys during coming Christmas. I manage to get something in HLJ Blowout Sales after the count down begin on the website yesterday. Actually it was two minutes early before the Admin updated the front page. I got to thanks to the HLJ newsletter for the direct link accessing so fast. Now, what did I manage to get this time? Yes, it is same as usual for hunting Gundam again. I simply can’t help it because there weren’t any other interested non-Gundam mecha or figures I wanted to get. In the end, I brought Gundam Fix Figuration Shin Musha and HG 1/100 Gundam Seravee Gundam Designer Version including extra order for Tamashii Stage Act 3 clear display stand and others paint accessories to the lists which I plan previously. Anyhow, it was a waste that I don’t see many nice Transformers and other non-Gundam action toys in the Blowout Sales. Figure? Nah, not a single one attracts me except for Kingdoms Heart II trading figure which is simply out of my ...

Rakuten Ichiba is a large internet shopping mall in Japan. There are over 22,000 shops open over there and approximately millions of different products were listed in their web directory. Since so many shops were setup in a single mall, we are expecting many different pricing and products comes up in the directory search from range of electronics, clothing, toys, games and others. I’m not going to do any review on this site, but I will just gives you a quick heads up what I discover during my search on toys. It is quite an impressive marketing idea behind this system for my own view because you can also do pre-ordering too. At the same time, it is a bit complicated too whiles not every local shop opens their doors for international buyer’s access to their goods. However, there are few things you also need to take notes. Firstly, many items might include tax. Since most of the shops are originally not an online stores. You will be buying those things under local price and...

These got damn ants never stop trying making nest inside my car. It’s been few weeks seeing this non-stop fucking ants crawling around my car and hiding. I was lucky enough able to spot most those hiding place and took full action slaughtering them including the eggs every time I sees it. I have no idea what attracts those ants going to my car, but the other two cars doesn’t seem to have that issue in the garage which I believe haven’t yet. However, after starting parking my car outside on the grass, it’s getting lesser compare to the past. But I still continue doing a lot of cleaning inside my car and the garage floor. It still doesn’t stop them coming. Only today, I saw them climbing in the pole towards my house roof and starts killing them again. Ants are the worst insect in my list. I hate them and probably the most annoying one ever. If Hoi Hoi san really does exist in the tomorrow technology, I would love to buy few of them patrolling my house shooting this god damn insects. ...
