Stalled.


So, one day my roommate came home with that gunpla in his hand. I never knew that he liked building gunpla before... or probably his gunpla-ing mode has just come back after he saw me building a gunpla before. (Does that mean that I indirectly influencing him to buy gunpla? who knows).
But man, he sure does kinda fast building it. It's been probably less than 2 months and he already build, like, 4 gunplas (2 HG, 2 MG) and now working on that one in the picture.


....Which reminds me that I still got a gunpla project that's been stalled for at least 3 months. I dunno, I just can't find the right time to build it.

Yeah, it hasn't progressing much lately (or should I say, not progressing AT ALL) since the last time I get my hands on it. It also took me quite awhile to build that RX-78, since I tried to apply some sanding and panel lining this time. It took much longer time, but for some reason I enjoyed it more than straight-building it. I have to go back and finish this sometime in the future...

Btw, I think that's an Astray with IWSP pack (CMIIW). It's kinda funny because I also have a IWSP pack waiting to get built. It's just that his is Astray, and mine is the Strike. It's not that much different, it even have almost identical IWSP pack. I think the only difference (in a glance) is just the mouth and slight difference in the body design.

Which reminds me again that I still got 3 more gunplas sitting in the shelves...

*sigh*
I want to get RX-78 done with and move on to the IWSP and the PGs. But I've wondering if using other Gundam Marker color will make cooler lining besides black? It sure tempting to get a set, but it costs pretty steep too, at least for a set of markers.. I think it costs around $20 or somewhere around that? I have to make up my mind first. But I think I'll stick to the black one for the RX-78.

Ok, I think that's all for this post. Now that I think about it, this post doesn't have too much of a point in it, does it?

Steal Deal


Soo... I know that I shouldn't spend money to buy figures anymore (at least for this month), but I really break that commitment when I saw this figure on ebay. Yea I know, it's good eventhough it's old, and yes, it actually costs around $150++ on ebay. But I found this baby right here for $80.

Yes, $80. Can u believe it? me neither, at first. The first thing that comes to my mind if it's probably a bootleg.
So I asked the seller whether the box has the hologram sticker on it, and thankfully they say 'yes'.
Even tho bootlegger probably can imitate the sticker, that sticker's on it alone has made me try to buy it.
So I bought it (have to pay $25 for shipping tho, coz it's sent from Japan), and it arrived several days ago.

And yes, I then really checked it. Turns out that it even have 2 stickers (one from Type-Moon, one from HobbyJapan), and the sculpt and color looks right. Since it's looks like it's pretty legit, I guess I really get a steal deal on this figure :)
Picture related (please don't tell me that I actually got the bootleg one ;_; )

Oh yea, also, as a make-up for not posting in awhile, I'll probably upload some wallpapers (using MU this time, no eblogger or photobucket crap this time), since I've been collecting anime wallpapers lately (got around 1000++ right now). So yeah. Wait for it.


P.S : Don't mind the coins, that's how I survives lately lol
