BULKHEAD - Transformers the Animated

During the 1st wave of the Transformers Live action toys here in the Philippines - I was busy with tinkering with MG Gundam Kits.

So, the voyager and deluxe transformers that was then being sold extra cheap at regular toy stored just disappeared.

And when the Live action movie came out, I was like: I had to own a JAZZ. I labored hard to get one, and it had to be at Great Toys for 700 pesos (it was the last one).

Now to cut the long story short, up to know, getting a Black Ironhide is still a pain in the neck since the price remain inconveniently high.

Wow, SALE!

At this point I made a pact that it would never happen again. I would have first crack at the initial release of these toys so I could get it cheap. And by an unconscious twist of fate, I found one of my most coveted new Transformer toy at a very reasonable price - and yes its none other than BULKHEAD.

Up Close and Personal!

I heard that it was priced at 2000 plus in Greenhills for the loose ones, but i got one - brand new at less than that! Wow!! And to top it off, BULKHEAD looks great both for the robot and vehicle mode!

Nice lookin vehicle mode!

Great lookin robot as well!

Overall, I got myself a SUPER bargain - at least for now, lets see how the price spikes or dips. But I bet that it's just bound to go higher!

MG Strike Launcher and Sword UPGRADE!!

Guess what?!

It's a crazy world where new MG's keep on popping up in the horizon and stinging your wallet, begging for a purchase.

So far I have avoided this MG bug even with the release of the MG Unicorn. So far my last purchase was the MG Destiny which I just finished completing a few weeks back.

Some new MG Zakus also came out lately, but again I was able to tuck my hands in my pocket to keep me from spending (however I had to buy the Ironhide that I saw at Toy Kingdom because it was dirt cheap, but still expensive by my stingy standards).

But alas, my holding back seems to be taking a backseat nowadays especially with the release of the new MG - The LAUNCHER/SWORD Strike Gundam.

Asteeg!!

Yes I know its just the same MG Strike, but the launcher and sword add ons make me drool!! It is a thing of beauty, and I want one now! Oh please please!! Keep this sheer MG beauty away from me (for the time being, lolx!)! Wahhh!!!!

Thanks to Dalong.net for the scanned images of the Manual

Photography: A Hobby and Stress Reliever!

Sunset Lovers

I'm starting this new hobby, and yes its photography.

It started out when one of my friends showed me His Canon SLR, and introduced me to the wonders of manual focusing.

Then my other friend let me use his NIKON d80, and the rest is history!

I have been going around a lot just to get that shot that I want, its been a mix of pain and pleasure which I learned to be the usual experience for a newbie photo buff wannabe.

I borrowed my friend's d80 and this is one of my shots!

Getting that perfect shot is actually achieved after so many tries, thanks to digital technology, I didn't have to waste a load of film, he he he!

But the greatest satisfaction I get with this hobby is getting to see a great shot (by my standards at least lolx!) at the end of a photo shoot! That's the part when I get to say that, it was all worth the effort (and the walking, he he he)!

Wah!! Cute Puppy!
