Transformers Masterpiece - Star Saber

I've always been envious of people having the old Star Saber figure, even more if they had Victory Leo as well. The whole mechanic and concept of Star Saber was just thrilling. I was awestruck when Takara-Tomy was releasing the Masterpiece version. It took me 5 month to pre-order like all the order Masterpiece but I've gotten this directly from Japan. Hence, there was no collector coin.

The parcel arrived a day before my trip so I was anxious in opening up but I only managed to review a week after. Boy, was I satisfied.

Nerd Block - March

I've been reading about surprise boxes of interest categories such as cosmetics and collectors item. My interest would be of the collectors series of course. Singapore has our very own surprise box called Atomic Loot. Reviews for the first month was awesome but by the second month it became mediocre. Thank god I did not subscribe the SGD 25 box.

I looked through the box available in the market and was drawn to either LootBox or NerdBlock, however only NerdBlock does shipping to Singapore. There are different category of Block such as Classic, Arcade, Horror, Jr (Boys or Girls) for monthly subscription of USD 19.99 (inclusive of shipping within US). Shipment to Singapore was additional USD 12. I've subscribed a 3-month Classic subscription which delivered within 10-15 days.

Each month has a different theme and it was "Simon Says", a tribute to Simon Pegg, for March. I was a bit thrilled because he's notably one of my favourite movie personnel. The box also include some Guardian of the Galaxy merchandises, yet another favourite comic series.
My first NerdBlock had arrived just in time before I left for a trip. I was stoked.
A look inside the box.
There will always be a t-shirt each month. Though, I'm not favourable of March offering
Something I'm quite happy on, a book.
A Guardian of the Galaxy nesting doll
I've gotten StarLord magnet

Now I can't wait for the following months block, the 80's theme with a Ghostbuster exclusive. Word of advise on getting the subscription box, DO NOT check out others post to enjoy the full thrilling moment of unboxing. Check them out after you've open yours to check for differences.

2015 Reading Challenge Part 2

I really can't help getting books to read. Furthermore, Kinokuniya is having a members sale real soon I was really tempted to buy more but looking at the new store, I'm slightly disappointed with their "messy" store.

Well, Book Depository books are cheaper but it took quite awhile for the delivery and no satisfaction in picking up and smelling the new books physically. However, my latest purchase only took less than 10 days to arrive. I was stoked. Anyway, more books to come.
