Managed to get my Jetfire+Grimlock twin pack at TRU subang Parade for only Rm 134.90. Quite cheap and it is at I believe at the non-goreng price. Grimlock is kinda like a nostalgia TF for me. Recalled seeing him in the Transformers movie when I was a little boy. A big T-rex with very funny lines (his intelligence is rather lacking, so he is a dinosaur of a few words) but big on character. Not to mentioned decepticons are afraid of this guy, except maybe Devastator of course. Little wonder in Beast Wars the Predacon leader wants to be a T-rex.

Oh, Grimlock kick butt too. Grimlock tried to death from above Devastator also (but failed).

Here's Grimlock in dino mode.

Jetfire has a nice sculpt too. The reason i want him is becoz he is a veritech. Well a not so perfect clone of a veritech but it can have robot mode, gerwalk and jet mode.

On the 3rd of November, went to another play at the Seafield school hall. This time they were playing the play Ma Ma Mia, How Can I Resist You, a play which uses the ABBA songs. Used to listen to Abba very often since my parents would play the CD very often during weekends.

Of course the storyline is cut to suit the secondary students crowd since there are some parts which make no sense like the girl can't really find out who her real father is (use a DNA test!!!!) or the 3 fathers didn't realized the girls mother is screwing them over since ALL 3 are supporting the girl. Only 1 father and 1 mother right? OK, apparently the scrip isn't meant for this generation. But the students sure can SING. SING very well I might add. At least the Abba songs I have been listening to all this while finally make some sense.

Anyway, I was able to obtain the highly coveted, no.1 scalper target, BB08! Bumblebee 2008. Bought it for Rm 120 and with Payload, a Decepticon armoured truck. Payload is not worth mentioning since his transformation is ok but he could have been better, but BB08 was sound from its construction standpoint. Unfortunately Hasbro's QC has failed in the panting department. You see, I got a 2-face BB08. 2-face = Batman 2-face? Yup, But not as bad as Batman's one, just that some paint wasn't applied properly.

Here's the picture of it.

Oklah, boleh tahan. Atleast its joints are tight and the head is there. i have heard about headless BB08s and Takara BB08s with loose joints. At least this problem can be rectified easily with some paint.

My next target?

Yes, my 360 is hates me.

But last weekend I finally bought Halo3 to with play! hooray! the 360 is saved....

anyway, TF2 is not that fun anymore since now everyone knows all the tricks and are skilled already. No more noobs to own :P

Which made me finally getting around to play Episode 1 & 2. I was surprised EP1 was.... short. Hey, what do you expect from an expansion which is cheaper than a full game?

Hope EP2 is longer.

... and my 360 still hates me :(

p.s: coz i never played it everyday and rather be with my 8800 GTS.

yes, this will be another post about Transformers, but now I practically have almost ALL the available toys I can buy except Bumblebee and Ironhide. Both are in Insane demand now and I'm better off buying one later this year or next year. Which is good news for my pocket.

Oh ya, forgot to mention I already acquired my last (hopefully) leader class transformer toy, Optimus Prime. Bought the Takara version instead of the usual Hasbro version. Cost me RM 245 inclusive of shipping. The most expensive purchase so far.

So let's see what I have:
1) Voyager Thundercracker
2) Voyager Rescue Ratchet
3) Deluxe Jazz
4) Deluxe Brawl
5) Deluxe Bonecrusher
6) Voyager Blackout
7) Leader Megatron
8) Leader Brawl (ppl think I'm crazy buying 2 versions of Brawl)
9) Deluxe Recon Barricade
10) Deluxe Longarm
11) Leader Optimus Prime

Deluxe is small size, Voyager is big size, Leader is well... biiiiggg size.

wow... that's one long list.

On another front been playing Team Fortress 2 ALOT. So alot that I didn't bother to play Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 that has a hot chick called Alyx to guide you along. Must devote time to play everything in the Orange box AND my xbox 360. need Halo3.. need Halo3... oh wait, too busy hunting Transformers and enemies in TF2.
