Star Wars Lightsaber 3 Keyring Gashapon with Pics and Video!

A package arrived today from Play-Asia, and after opening and assembling the contents, all I can say is that the Force is strong in the Star Wars Lightsaber 3 Keyring Gashapon collection from Yujin.

If only reviews are so simple. Feast your eyes on the following pictures of my collection of Star Wars Lightsaber 3 Keyring Gashapon, and look out for the video at the end of this post showing how to assemble these lightsabers. Luke Skywalker would be proud indeed.

These things come with batteries included, so once you remove the safety peg on each lightsaber's on/off switch, you are ready to light it up. Here's the video as promised (I've got trouble uploading it to Youtube, so switching to Blogger instead):

Interested in purchasing one or more lightsaber keyrings? Head over to Play-Asia (click here) for purchase details.

Slide Adventure: Mag Kid and Optical Sensor Pictures!

Yesterday's Fedex package also brought something huge with it. It was one of those Nintendo DS games that come with its own peripheral (I'll blog more about this category of game in future).

The name of the game? Slide Adventure: Mag Kid and it comes with it's own optical sensor which attaches to the Nintendo DS' Slot-2! I have not given the game a try yet, but I did take some pictures :)


Pretty interesting eh? The best part is the game is available for just USD 19.90 at Play-Asia! Interested? Click here for details.

Please excuse me for the lolcat speak. I received my package today from Play-Asia, which was sent via Fedex last Friday, and in it contains, in my humble opinion, a very nice collector's item. As you might have guessed it, it's the Japanese edition of Space Invaders Extreme for the Nintendo DS.

There's a sticker on the shrink wrap stating that the game stating that it is part of Taito's Collection. It would certainly be a shame to remove it.

Anyways, here's one more picture of my purchase. You'll see the copy of Mag Kid (big yellow box) which was also delivered in this shipment:


Did you know also that the Paddle Controller DS works really well with Space Invaders Extreme? Well, now you know. Both game, and paddles are now available at Play-Asia, click here and here for respective purchase details.

Nine Over Ten 9/10 - Now Reporting From Dubai - Part 2

I made a new friend while strolling at Dubai's Jumeirah Beach, near the Burj Arab, and it's a lolcat!


Here's the view from the office I'm attached with until the 6th of November.

And last but not least, my favourite shot of all:

Finally got the time to snap some photos of the recent additions to my figurine/gashapon collection. So here goes:









I'll be uploading these photos to Flickr as well.

Add in a dash of Photoshop

I thought I would do something different tonight with some of the pictures of my gashapon/figurine collection. But due to some interruptions, I only managed to prepare only several, so here goes:

USS Enterprise

USS Rio Grande

Something more traditional, but dedicated to all Revoltech fans out there.
