Parcels after Parcels

The shopping doesn't end and it went online. I've purchased so many things online during the month of March and it is still pouring in.

Parcel 1:
Trying out Kinokuniya Online Store. Had a great time reading Manga, especially after knowing about Ultraman Sequel

Wasn't really an online purchase but I've been contemplating in getting this from eBay. I was lucky to have gotten this from a physical shop, the same price as the lowest price I've found in eBay

Parcel 2:
After getting to try SHFiguarts during my trip in Guangzhou, I was amazed by the articulation and went crazy. This was bought from eBay at a dirt cheap price. Once I received it, I had a feeling that it was a bootleg most probably it came from a China seller. Well, the figure is still great.

Parcel 3:
This was the main figure I wanted to get from SHFiguarts which I found in Carousell. The seller had it cheap and his location was very convenient to deal.

Parcel 4:
Figma Table Series seems like a very cool figure and it is. Love the play-ability of it. To make use of the shipping charges, I've added in my expansion of Pose Skeleton figures.

Parcel 5:
Continued ordering the rest of the Ultraman Manga from Books Depository. Had a blast reading them

Not a parcel but I was passing by Kinokuniya at JEM and found this lovely local publications. 

Parcel 6:
Going Ultraman Frenzy

Parcel 7:
Last Parcel for the month/post.

That's it. 7 parcels and some quick buys in the month of March. If only I did it for the month of April, it would be a great birthday celebration. Wait, I think I have 1 parcel coming in for April. Woohoo...

Revenge Shopping

Since I didn't shop on both trips, I took it out shopping in Singapore instead.

New games. My Xbox 360 died on me and I couldn't play the latest Tomb Raider I've bought for it. So I had to get another copy on a different platform.

Saw this while getting the game. Well, just in time for the latest Generation that was released soon after.

New tech to play Pokemon Go. Crazy, NO! Just needed to utilise my re-contract.

New phone, new cover

An impulsive buy actually

Started reading Manga somehow

Another book along the way

Unexpected Find - Guangzhou

I had my reservist called up right after Chinese New Year and it lasted for 2 weeks, ending in the middle of the week. Hence I decided to extend my absence from work and explore another China city. I've heard so much about Guangzhou from my cousin so I bought a flight there.

I was impressed with Guangzhou, a slight different from the rest of the China cities that I've been to. I had an easy time with food as there were lots of halal restaurants but was quite disappointed with my shopping. Exported brands are still expensive even on this part of China.

However due to a wholesale city, there were lots of cheap stuffs to buy. Lucky I wasn't drawn to such things but I was looking for a drone. It took me a while to find the right one and finally bought one from Toys R Us.

Pretty awesome stuff here. Small and light weight but an ass to control.

I stumbled upon a Bandai Tamashii display store and managed to talk the owner. Found out, he was actually the main distributor for Bandai in Guangzhou. We had a great time talking about stuffs, unlike the overly-geeky ones I had conversations with. He was nice enough to exchange contacts and he directed me to find all the great toyshops in Guangzhou. The place he recommended was heaven, similar to Singapore's China Square Central and the prices are close to those I saw in Hong Kong. I didn't really expect much shopping done, so I didn't change a lot of currency.

Finally owned myself a Masterpiece Grimlock.

CNY in Jakarta

This is a first after numerous years that I've decided to go on a trip during Chinese New year. Normally, I would stay in Singapore and visit the Art Science Museum and do some light shopping at Marina Bay Sands. This year however, I decided to venture Jakarta on my own. I didn't really shop much as most of the stuffs there were past season somehow. So I only managed to grab this few.

My goggles gave way during my last holiday. I had to get a replacement.

Been wanting a trench and this was dirt cheap from Zara.

Found Kinokuniya there and I had to update my library especially with Murakami's books.

This was kind of an impulse buy to finish up my Rupiah. Then I realised I needed to replace my current almost-torn bag.

Winter Japan

Yeah, it's my second trip to Japan for 2016 and it was quite a blast. Even though I'm there as a guide, I managed to grabbed the following hauls.

A new Head Porter toiletries bag

Another Porter bag by Kura Chika, a medium size sling bag

I broke my Bose earphones while on flight, broke the jack when I got up to make way for the window seat passenger. Snagged this Monster at a rather cheap price.

What's Japan without toys? Held back buying these in Singapore as it's double the price.

My growing collection of work boredom

Couldn't get my jinbei but I found the best alternative

Some sale items from Adidas that I couldn't pass

Now this was some sort of impulsive buy but who wouldn't...
So nice to hug and make as a head pillow.,

More Collection Galore

The November batch of pre-orders arrived and was super excited for them. It felt so exhilarating opening up a box with tons of toys in it.

Transformers Masterpiece MP-33 Inferno

3 of 4 TMNT (Ralph)

4 of 4 TMNT (Mikey)

More Pose Skeleton Figures and Accessories

Another local pre-order I collected was quite thrilling. Its a combiner link up to MP Star Saber to form Victory Saber. It may not be produced by Takara-Tomy but the figure is a solid as the original brand.

 

Game On!!!

After the long wait, it's finally here!!!
