The reason I'm posting this because I'm going on a holiday trip to Paris, France in less than 24 hours time of this post xD. So all my projects will be on hold until I come back on 10th December, and so are my blog updates. 

P/S: The year end Litt Tak warehouse sales is coming soon, but the date has not been confirmed yet, hopefully it's after I returned to Malaysia >_<

Loot & News

As what I mentioned earlier in my previous post, I went to Midvalley today to COD a MG Lukas Strike E + IWSP today, and here it is! XD

If you haven't read my earlier post, I got this at RM130, much lower than usual price =D.

Some updates in the gunpla world(Namely bootleg gunpla =P), the Mcmodel Ex-S Gundoom is finally released in China on July 22! I've already pre-ordered a unit from Nicholas Chua, and the stocks are expected to arrive sometime next week XD. He's unable to confirm the price yet, but other sellers are setting the price around RM50-60. The price range is very very good, and hopefully Nic's price will be in that range, or better, less =P.
Here are pictures of the SD Ex-S Gundoom in colours from the web, as previously I've only shown the uncoloured prototype.








*A LED unit will included in the kit, which is used to light up the eyes. It is said the LED will only be included as a premium item for the first production batch only, much like as in Hi-Nu Gundoom

There's another soon to be released special edition version which comes in orange-red colour scheme with hot rod style fire decals pre-painted.


Another big news is from the bootleg king company, TT Hongli. It is said that they hired designers from VP, a conversion kit producer in Korea to design their new MG 1/100 Hi-Nu. TT is following Mcmodel's footstep in taking resin conversion kits' design and making them into plastic kits.
Here are some pics of the supposedly their new Hi-Nu(Named Hi-Nu VP for now).



It is said that TT is going to use back the inner frame of the original MG Hi-Nu inner frame, with the outer armour being the new desgin.
I've seen people mentioned on web that TT also copy-righted this design, though would it render Bandai unable to file a lawsuit against them is questionable.

Lastly, the news on TT's next bootleg kit of Bandai's, is to be a HG ORX-005 Gaplant TR-5. Good news as the Bandai kit of it is very rare and costly.

That's it for updates!

Some Updates

It's exactly one month since my last post, finally found the time(and motivation) to update my blog, lol.

Been extremely busy with university stuffs, and my Vent Saviour paint project plus plenty of unfinished kits bogged me down even more.
I've got a couple of new kits for the last month, namely the 1/60 Wing Gundam 0 and GaoGao(GG) HG 1/144 GN Arms Type D. Yes, you read it right, a China bootleg kit. This is my official first China bootleg kit, if counting only TT/GG/etc brands, excluding Mcmodel's Gundooms.

Here are the pics:

List:
NG 1/60 Wing Gundam 0 (RM122)
GG HG 1/144 GN Arms Type-D + Dynames (RM80)

Been wanting the 1/60 Wing Gundam 0 kit for quite some time, almost got it earlier but only to be delayed by my mistake of forgetting the original price.
As for the GG HG GN Arms Type D, it was more of an impulse purchase. I was browsing through the price list of bootleg kits, and the price tag of RM80 caught my interest, as Bandai's is usually around RM200+. Then I checked on reviews about it, was immediately attracted by the size of the kit. I'm a big fan of large sized kits =P. I bought it from Takumikun, a well know bootleg gunpla kits seller from LowYat.net.

I've also decided to get the GG GN Arms Type E, but too bad Takumikun don't have it in stock, so I'm getting it from GundamNation Shop instead, though albeit more costly at RM 95 due to postage fees, as he is based in Ipoh, Perak.

Not only that, today I stumbled upon a promotion of his, RM40 for TT HongLi NG 1/100 Avalanche Exia! I immediately confirmed my purchase with him, as the usual price is RM60, totally worth it! It was nice of him to give me some discount as I'm buying 2 items at the same time, RM130 for both GN Arms & Avalanche Exia, a RM5 discount =D.

As now it's already past midnight when I'm blogging this, so it's officially Sunday already, so it's not wrong to say that later afternoon I'm going to COD in Midvalley to get my MG Strike E + IWSP XD.
I didn't plan to get this kit, either never or not so soon, but I managed to find it being sold at RM130, where the normal price is usually RM150-160. I thought it was a worthy bargain, and to be honest, I like the idea of all-in-one idea of IWSP =P.

So in all, including those ordered from GundamNation Shop and the MG Stike E + IWSP, I've would have bought a total of 5 kits in the month of July alone, a record breaking feat for me, LOL.
Why am I able to get so many kits this month? Because it's my birthday month!!! XD
Big thank you to my parents, grandma, aunties and uncle for giving me 'pocket money' as my birthday present! XD

Stay tune for more updates and stuffs!

P/S: My Vent Saviour paint project is still going very slowly, but coming out nicely, will post about it soon!
