Have been a very busy past few weeks. Until no time to blog :P

Anyway, on the TF front, obtained Leader Class Brawl during the Raya week. Then this week obtained Deluxe Longarm (the tow truck that towed Bumblebee) and Barricade in different colors.

How I obtained Leader class Brawl is bothering on desperate and giving in to temptation.

It started on Friday when I brought my mom to the Gardens Mid Valley for her Raya Shopping treat. After lunch we parted to look for items which are of interest to each other. So i began my search around the entire Mid vally to look for.... transformers.

I started at Toys'R'us, found nothing there, continued to Jusco, only to have all the leader class toys snapped up when I arrive (ARRGGHH!!!), moved on to Metrojaya, then to Isetan and lastly to Robinsons. All came out fruitless. It is like a marathon mind you since Gardens+ Midvalley = very very long walk.

As I arrive home, Woon called to tell me that there was leader brawl at toy workers, a shop at subang Square. Cost around RM 195. But after the fruitless search at MV, I was too tired to get it.

Then late that night as I was on the Lowyat.net forums, someone posted that there is ALOT of Leader Brawls at Jusco sunway pyramid. He was there around 6pm, and no one seem to know there was a restock there.

Since it is like my second chance to get it, the next morning I went to Sunway pyramid to visit the jusco to buy the brawl.... the only problem was, it is the first day of raya and Jusco only opened at 1pm!!!!

So I balik and have lunch with family and then left the house around 1.30pm to go to pyramid. Parked my car and entered jusco around 2.15pm and lo and behold, there were 2 leader brawls there. It was as if there were waiting for me. I took one and immediately after that a family bought one for their son, less than half my age :P

Desperate? Crazy? Lucky? you decide. But leader brawl is too complex for a 5 year old. So do megatron. But since I bought it from Jusco I only spend RM 189.90. But the double trip to jusco cost me RM 6 = RM 3 * 2 times, so it turns out roughly the same price if I bought it from Toyworkers 24 hours before. Then there was a time so long ago when woon called that there were 6 brawls at Toys'R'us and he was getting one. Didn't buy that time since I wasn't desperate enough :P

Tried to upgrade my blog to have a better look. Unfortunately I will lose the C-box (the one that you can post messages) as well as the Xbox 360 gamertag thingy. Can't they just let us access the html code like normal instead of making us their customizing software?

Oh well, at least i tried.

Anyway, MANAGE TO BUY LEADER CLASS MEGATRON!!!

ALL HAIL MEGATRON!! Jazz and Ratchet so kesihan now. Bad enough they got no range weapon, but now the deceptercon leader is in the house with the majority of his army. Megatron and Jazz is the right scale though, and if you put them side by side Jazz is very very small.

Besides that bought the Orange box ori. going to try out Team Fortress 2. Atleast got something to keep me busy this long holidays.

Here are some of my photos of the Deceptercons having some sort of discussion.

Blackout: Take a look at my cool spinner melee weapon!! Can spin really smooth!!
Thundercracker: You have the ability to fly. Why bother with melee combat? You can just fly away! Besides, range combat is better than melee!
Bonecrusher: Not fair, you get cool weapon, you are voyager class, and your alt and robot mode rocks!! I hate you Hasbro! I hate you Michael Bay!! I hate you Blackout!!!!
Brawl: Nice weapon, but better have a large big-oh cannon just in case :)
