Nerd Block - April

Honestly, I was quite excited April's instalment of NerdBlock, themed Growing Up 80's. They provided a sneak peek of a possible Ghostbuster exclusive but the other exclusive item blew me away. Anyway, let's roll it out...

The unveil

The main exclusive
Titans Vinyl Ecto-1 figure

Second exclusive:
Back to the Future t-shirt. I loved this the most

Pac-Man heat change mug. It would be better bigger.

I'm always excited for a read

Nerd Play trading cards. This is something I could do without.

This would be my last Classic Block because NerdBlock was awesome enough to allow subscribers to switch blocks and release a totally different block. I'm switching my last block and also subscribed the latest block which is going to be massive. I am telling myself to stop but this little excitement helps whenever you need it.

Stay tuned for the upcoming switched block and new block series.

Nerd Block - Grab Block

I've been a sucker to Nerd Block. After I received my March Block, they've came up with the Grab Block which is 4 USD cheaper and basically consist of items from past blocks. The items were slightly more exciting than the current monthly block. I was hoping to get a Funko figure but gotten something else.

The loot - seems little

This T-shirt is more wearable than the March one

I was really hoping for the Funko Pop but ended getting a Gizmo

Yet another stuff toy but this was apparently adorable.
Damn! What's happening to me??

Cool but 'm not an Iron Man fan

Not sure how this can be categorized as Nerdy? I gave my nephew and apparently he had fun with it.

Pretty much irrelevant. It''s just a stress ball.

New Kicks

I'm not really sporty but I do try to keep fit with jogging or swimming. Apparently, I'm taking up a new competitive sport. I'm not disclosing the sport but it's water related.

I needed a those water shoe but knowing me, I needed something more versatile. I was wandering around the malls in Tampines and eyed on these baby. Since I couldn't find any that I liked elsewhere, I told myself to get it. Oh so beautiful... Besides water sports, I can perform other sorts of training with it too...

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

Munny World Vinyl Doll

Joker Tricks

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.

 

 

Huat Ah!!!

Every Lunar New Year means I'll be getting some profit sharing from the company and with the amount of work put in for 2014, the profit was quite charitable. Could be better, just that some people screwed up because they just don't get it.

Anyway, I am grateful of the amount I've received and I managed to put aside for personal savings, family savings, bills and of course some satisfactions. This was over a period and so the list is quite long. So here we go periodically:

The iPhone 6 has been out quite a while back but I was waiting to re-contract under my company's line. Took me about 4 months for the re-contract between the company and the telco.

I'm in need of a replacement for my ID card case and I can't seem to find something that I like, not even the classy ones. Checked out the HeadPorter online and they've released a new Master Blue series, similar to the sold-out Black Beauty that I've been eyeing for the longest time

Since shipment for the HeadPorter online was 2,000 Yen regardless of the number of item, I had to get something else to make it worthwhile. Hence I got myself this simple but unique basic. Sadly it was smaller than I thought. If it shrinks after wash, I will have to handover to my brother or to work out to fit.

Normally, I would download most movies but there are occasions where I know I would watch a movie again and again. Those of Star Wars, Avenger and Batman. Marvel did an excellent job on my current favourite comic series, Guardian of the Galaxy. Hence, I've got to have it watch it over and over again. Wonder whether it'll be something like Star Wars were I watched it more than 10 times.

 

I know this is unnecessary but I just want to catalogue what I bought. I wanted to get Emporio Armani instead but they didn't had much choice of the microfibre type. I ended getting the Calvin Klein collections instead.

 

Another unnecessary post but I truly have to recommend this as how my cousins recommended to me. They feel get, try rubbing yourself in it. HAHAHAHA...

My doctor gave me the ultimatum if my health result didn't improve by the next review. So I had to start my jogging routine and get a new sport bands for the new phone.

A complement to the jogging routine. It is quite handy. Pardon the price tag.

Carpet (the neighbourhood cat) has been clawing my slippers for the longest time and it's due time for a replacement, in time for my next trip. (Hint Hint) 

I'm in need of a board short for the next holiday. (Another hint on my next trip)

Yet another replacement. I've given away my Burberry polo from HK to my sister as I've outgrown it. I just had to get a replacement and gotten the classic line. 

This was an impulse. I was in my Cubicle of Solitude browsing my email when I saw this on Groupon. It was just perfect, I love hidden excess belt and this was considered cheap. I do still want my Hermes belt. Probably next Huat Moment.

It is due time to get a new wallet. I intended to get a Bottega Venetta Classic Weave but realized that I won't be able to upgrade further. I seen something from Prada that I liked but ended up to a totally different design altogether. Simple yet classy, just the way I like it. 

After this, I may then upgrade to Bottega Venetta.

I doubt my perfumes will last till end of the year after knowing my family uses my perfumes. So I just had to get another.

Rightfully, I been telling myself to get the PS4 by Lunar New Year but there hasn't been much game released that I'm eager about. So far, there are only 2 titles. I'll be waiting for either the FFXV or Arkham Knight Bundle. For now, I'm going to find the time to complete the Kingdom Hearts Duology remix before the third is released on PS4.

Lastly, it's time that I expanded my Transformers Masterpiece with this bada$$. Yet another huge figure which I got a great deal over eBay. There are 2 more in the pre-order bin and I can't wait for them. I do still want to get a Decepticon seeker.

Well, told you that it would be handful. I spent over 2 weeks and most of this items are still in its shopping bag. Time to clear up and store the purchase. I really wonder what would be my next purchase.
