Star Wars Clone Wars Anakin's Delta 2 Starfighter

Wussup collectors!!

Managed to get this from Hasbro/Newboy's booth at the last Battle of The Toys 2011 event for a really, really good price. Brand new old stock =)

Star Wars Clone Wars Anakin's Delta 2 Starfighter



I took the pic above from the WWW, sorry, coz i forgot to take shots of the box before posting this hahahahaha. But i assure you the rest is all my doing =)

After unboxing, below are what we would be getting from inside the box..

The manual



The Starfighter






The Starfighter can be split into two units, as below..



You'll get 3 missiles. We will be using Anakin himself and R4-P17 to demonstrate their fittings in the Starfighter. For the record, R4-P17 is Obi-wan's astromech droid and Anakin's should be R2-D2. All figures sold separately. D'oh!

Droid unit






Anakin's unit





Just my 2 cents.. better get an Anakin figure with fabric clothing rather than plastic clothing so he could sit better in the cockpit.


So there you have it. A worthy piece to add to your collection indeed. I leave you with one last look of the Starfighter, have fun and keep collecting =)

Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Luke Skywalker (Handstand Version) and Yoda

Wussup collectors!!

Want to share with you what i got last week from my neighborhood toy store, Toyzone. I was browsing through the Star Wars section because the owner, Lord Riza, advised everyone on the Order 66 SITH blackberry group to come and check out some new items.

Well, Lord Riza delivered once again.. because i found this:

Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection Luke Skywalker (Handstand Version)



..and i also found this loose set in near-mint condition, Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection Yoda (Dagobah Training)



Why near-mint? Because it's missing the backpack that Luke can use to carry Yoda around in Dagobah while training to be a Jedi, just like in the scene.

To complete the Dagobah Training set, i'm missing the Spirit Obi-wan (2nd from left in image below) and the R2-D2 (far left). They all come with inter-connecting the Dagobah piece-of-land base you see in the image below, and i hear there's a Darth Vader with releasable head to reveal Luke's face. Creepy, i know.. but that was one of ESB's greatest scenes nonetheless.



Anyways, 2 out 4 figures to start with ain't bad =) So let's check out what i got..



Luke comes with a "handstand head" with hair facing down for that gravitational effect, and a set of handstand arms that can be exchanged with a regular head and a set of "backpacking arms". Besides those, the package also come with dagobah "land" base and a backpack strap.

Yoda comes with dagobah "land" base and cane. Originally it came with a backpack that Luke can use to carry Yoda around, but it's missing as i've explained above. If it wasn't missing, the backpack can be "attached" to Luke's backpack strap.

Check out the images below to see what i came up with after opening the package and connecting Luke's set with Yoda's..

Handstand version


Push-up version


Backpacking version




Surprisingly, the backpacking version is similar to a more realistic and more popular statue product from Sideshow.. naah, kidding. I'm really pushing this =D But see the picture below and you'll get my point.



So that's that. All those great poses from just two sets of figures. I leave you with one last pic of everything you see above, keep on collecting, and as Master Yoda would say: "Do or do not. There is no try".

Lego City "Powerboat and Trailer Truck" no.4643

Wuddup collectors!!

Got myself this: Lego City "Powerboat and Trailer Truck" no.4643. Actually i didn't get it myself, it's a present from my wife =) Allah SWT bless her for making me launch a big smile on my face hehehehehe.

Let's see what this is about..



After unboxing, this is what i get..



I get 3 packages inside the box, that will be assembled into:
1. Trailer
2. Powerboat
3. Truck

Let's build the trailer first.



So that's done. Now let's build the powerboat.



..and this is how it looks like when done. It's almost 30cm long, btw =)



Lastly, let's build the truck. In my opinion, this is the longest to build.




..and this is how the truck looks like when done.





Pretty sweet, right?? And this is how the complete set looks like when put together.



I change my mind, i will be collecting more Lego but only if they are this big, this cool, and always at a discounted price. Should be no problem, there's a police boat that i'm already eyeing at. Let's pray it will make it here into this blog =)

Cheers all.

Lego City "Family Home" no.8403

Wuddup Collectors!

Want to sway myself away from the usual things i collect.. instead of the regular Star Wars and vinyl toys, i got my hands on something new this time. And that is Lego!

Yes, Lego. i wasn't too keen on legos when i was a child, but i've lately found them to be interesting. It started when i decided to collect Lego Minifigures (i'm currently collecting Series 3 and 4), and i thought why not get a big set of something for them to be housed in?

So i did. During my weekend out with my wife to the mall, i spotted this Lego City no.8403 "Family Home" set. As it was during the Jakarta Great Sale, this was discounted at 50% off. So i took this baby home and started building it.

The money spent is justifiable :) and at 50% off, it was in my opinion the best Lego steal ever!

This is how the box looks like:
Front


Back


I didn't build this right away, matter of fact it took me a few days to build it. Why so long? Just thought that i might wanna savour every brick i assemble together, that's all :) But if i wanna do this all at once, it might've taken me one day to finish.. so yeah, i prefered to take my time. FYI i spent roughly 2 hours/day to do a floor.

DAY 1

After opening the box, i found 4 separate packages inside (presumably for easy building), a set of "boards", and a manual/instruction book..



But what's Lego without the Minifigures? Lucky me they were generous enough to include 3 minifigures and a dog in the box :)



Pretty cool..

So i'll start with Package no.1, the ground floor part of the Family home. Top left corner portion of picture below is how i started, and bottom right corner portion is the finished article.



That was fun :)

DAY 2

Day 2 was all about gardening. As in to do the garden part of the Family Home. The garden was packaged neatly in Package no.2. Top left corner portion is how i started (picking up from where i left off in Day 1) and bottom left corner portion is the finished article, including minifigures.



Very nice. I like what I have so far :) Can't wait to build the 2 remaining floors. Let's get some of my Minifigures collection and see how they fit-in in this Family Home..



Nice..



..a bit cramped, but living conditions in the Family Home will improve once the other two floors are built.

DAY 3

After a couple of dayoffs from building the Family Home, I decided to finish level 2 and the roof at the same time. Couldn't wait until the whole thing is up, so here i go.

I opened Package no.3, which is the 2nd level of the house and started building it. Top left corner image is how i started, and the two bottom images are pics of the finished 2nd level (front view and back view).



Almost there! Let's not waste another day and get to the roof part, already! What roof? The one in Package no.4, of course :) Top left corner image is how i started, as usual, and the two bottom images are pics of the finished roof and how it is "planted" on the 2nd level.



AND VOILA!! Here's a look at the completed Lego City "Family Home" no.8403



The Minifigures are excited as well =D



To be honest, I don't know if i will ever buy another Lego set again.. I mean, sure i would love to. But it's bloody expensive and appear tiny. You have to spend quite an amount to get something of this size. I was lucky to have a very understanding wife who allowed me to get this in the first place. I was a bit luckier to get this at 50% off, also.

With the considerations above, i think i'll stick with collecting Star Wars :)

Thanks for reading and keep collecting. See you on my next post.
