Yeah, I'm a regular action figure pimp.<br /><br />I admit I'm not a huge wrestling fan ever since Goldberg quit and I have no idea who MVP is. Why I picked him up? He was next to Cover Girl in the clearance bin. As simple as that. But he might come in handy some day if I do get around to making my "Magneto against the world" diorama. He could be the one crushed under a pile of metal bars.

I was really annoyed that Hasbro didn't release CT Fives or CT Rys as a single pack. And worse, made it a Walmart exclusive. That just means that if you're outside the states it is hard to predict where those 'exclusives' will turn up. I was fortunate to grab Fives at TRU. It came with another Captain Rex. I think Rex has been the easiest figure to find for the Clone Wars series. Come to think of it, he was the first figure to be released, a Mail-Away figure nonetheless. Fives has a distinct tattoo of the number '5' on the right side of the head.

He has the right height, the articulation, phrases, wings and laser. The only thing missing is the flip wrist communicator on his left hand. I really thought they could have just added that in. The paint is spot on. I've gone through the whole thing and couldn't find a fault. If there is, its probably minuscule. The one problem that annoyed me is trying to get the figure to stand. Due to the massive upper body, posing it is a bit tricky because you don't want the legs to be too straight and close apart.<br /><br />The sculpt is very good. Details were given to every curve and what-not. My fav is the face. I'm glad they went with the smiling and cocky look that Buzz had when he still thought he was an actual Space Ranger.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprJvM1byqX4NawYcR53JBESZS4hcKiKT_KHUt1wyD3qH4uGr5oOZlOJQeAwH6P-tEqlqxyjeN7cBqYznEyNyGrDdMrop68p-WnM3xRUhyphenhyphenAFbD7rAJHYbzQTJx558psQO1cg4xd_HAFEk/s1600-h/DSCN5802.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgprJvM1byqX4NawYcR53JBESZS4hcKiKT_KHUt1wyD3qH4uGr5oOZlOJQeAwH6P-tEqlqxyjeN7cBqYznEyNyGrDdMrop68p-WnM3xRUhyphenhyphenAFbD7rAJHYbzQTJx558psQO1cg4xd_HAFEk/s400/DSCN5802.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443278185046603458" border="0" /></a>The buttons work like in the movies. The big red button will make the wings pop out. The 3 small buttons activate the phrases Buzz but are not specific to a particular saying. You can just press one color to get all the sayings which are: "To infinity and beyond!", "I am Buzz Lightyear!", "I am Buzz Lightyear, I come in peace", "There's a secret mission in uncharted space. Let's go!", "I protect the galaxy from the threat of invasion from the evil Emperor Zurg".

Surprisingly its quite durable even with heavy play(I don't promise it'll survive a fall from the top of the stairs though). Lil Lobo has dragged it around(because it's heavy) and once in a while she throws it to the floor while watching the movie. So far, so good. The price is not bad if you think about the amount of plastic and electronics that you're getting. If only Mattel had thought of making the box re-usable as a diorama.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Score : 3.5 out of 5</span>Lobohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426968091266695077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817844994596642915.post-80930422608864571502010-02-27T22:40:00.007+11:002010-02-27T23:08:33.126+11:00Not another meat eating Dinosaur...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjMAuSgZUXBhyphenhyphenjrGOeuvW2Tf80aNsEpocpBtDbguWkg6ZkRot4da3kRItdqy_fmf-pdKMl7jIl62qosp9yI-yWnl56pWnxNF_xn04Ya_ljyBKSHfyKGjLKVgt75XKBg_zrsPrpxWVZ2c/s1600-h/DSCN5825.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjMAuSgZUXBhyphenhyphenjrGOeuvW2Tf80aNsEpocpBtDbguWkg6ZkRot4da3kRItdqy_fmf-pdKMl7jIl62qosp9yI-yWnl56pWnxNF_xn04Ya_ljyBKSHfyKGjLKVgt75XKBg_zrsPrpxWVZ2c/s400/DSCN5825.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442888146081543554" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">"What's that noise??

For those who have read the comic I'm guessing you'll want to bitch about the many changes made in the movie. For those who haven't, I'm hoping you'll want to read the graphic novel after you've seen this. Personally, I found it entertaining. Not 'great' but just so-so because I wanted it to be longer.

Maybe I'll never know the answer to this...moving along...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eXWGN9F2c4yAinqQ1AywATWSdYBxIY80V7U1UoIwLKd17uIznmEgVQNgspOQ44kAJ84u23qwXMNVCbU8r0HFW2d4rnV3564ilNAPecrUDaE_tcq-8a5p2uicWXGMMMm6hKFMaAOWfuY/s1600-h/DSCN5267.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eXWGN9F2c4yAinqQ1AywATWSdYBxIY80V7U1UoIwLKd17uIznmEgVQNgspOQ44kAJ84u23qwXMNVCbU8r0HFW2d4rnV3564ilNAPecrUDaE_tcq-8a5p2uicWXGMMMm6hKFMaAOWfuY/s400/DSCN5267.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437328839711604466" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYD8thJY7WR75l1O_DvPF8vdLuoMOWJm7NzaO_M212IHpLVKdHdJpalkb11V43uQjMJBM2xCUiG-E1lM8OIOsdLJUbgXQbUbFbwS2N7Bk1K9PrkIr8bHn27bjpN5X2jW4KmK-MCVaE4oM/s1600-h/DSCN5274.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYD8thJY7WR75l1O_DvPF8vdLuoMOWJm7NzaO_M212IHpLVKdHdJpalkb11V43uQjMJBM2xCUiG-E1lM8OIOsdLJUbgXQbUbFbwS2N7Bk1K9PrkIr8bHn27bjpN5X2jW4KmK-MCVaE4oM/s400/DSCN5274.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437329458771218914" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Details/Sculpt/Accessories/Articulation</span><br />There are 5 characters in this series and 1 mecha suit. But in order to complete the mecha suit(The Landmate), you need to get the whole box containing 10 little boxes. Confused? The big box contains 2 x Deunan, 2 x Tereus, 2 x Briareos, 2 x Rhoetus and 2 x Manuel Aeacus. Why? Because each character and its double comes with different parts of the Landmate e.g. Deunan comes with right arm and her double comes with the left arm. Bastards aren't they? LOL. I don't mind having extra Deunans or Briareos but the rest...let's be frank. We don't care right? Also it claims these are 1/20 in scale...yet they're larger than the average SW figures.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6yqAzYo_o_fuIpLeDSit0ItdHB6eHjWh7gUCBv8E_meCf1X74HTg5Fk2qd5zFbq0YEVLpMd45jBrzw4d7kqtCQRRRvqafJC2plsjY32lLK73k1j_aPYlqW87N157BvihStw3QNitwJkY/s1600-h/DSCN5298.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6yqAzYo_o_fuIpLeDSit0ItdHB6eHjWh7gUCBv8E_meCf1X74HTg5Fk2qd5zFbq0YEVLpMd45jBrzw4d7kqtCQRRRvqafJC2plsjY32lLK73k1j_aPYlqW87N157BvihStw3QNitwJkY/s400/DSCN5298.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437334151461373858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfsPKzZ90s7eTCfbqWGUnVsVuo7-v1B-M6eThJ5EdM7OglIwbMwTDvaEFB0RWmqG60bvluVQO_Fy00Ig81Bq1eaH3Cj7mFpxYYa-o5YAk90UXOXP9lvQR5L6EnVg7o1iWunKkJioLB6I/s1600-h/DSCN5304.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBfsPKzZ90s7eTCfbqWGUnVsVuo7-v1B-M6eThJ5EdM7OglIwbMwTDvaEFB0RWmqG60bvluVQO_Fy00Ig81Bq1eaH3Cj7mFpxYYa-o5YAk90UXOXP9lvQR5L6EnVg7o1iWunKkJioLB6I/s400/DSCN5304.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437340970257121682" border="0" /></a>The details are AMAZING! For such small figures they are bloody well made. If only they were the same size as my Star Wars or Marvel Universe figures...*sigh*. The paint app is spot on and the sculpt is terrifyingly accurate. One thing I would like to point out is that these figures feel very light as compared to my SW or MU collection. Yet they are very sturdy with the exception to Deunan's wrist which I feel are very fragile.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidsQBa-EJyKLQrXaLP-3u3CuctJyUjqm5TK7k9db02dT3ylgzrpXkKBKoxSOE1JFeDZl5-3zezWHq6UT4GC5TU7jWIYJl5ADiu8xUgPjQBuSJSYttkw2mZTpE-VQ73H3AxVyWaYSkxhXs/s1600-h/DSCN5314.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidsQBa-EJyKLQrXaLP-3u3CuctJyUjqm5TK7k9db02dT3ylgzrpXkKBKoxSOE1JFeDZl5-3zezWHq6UT4GC5TU7jWIYJl5ADiu8xUgPjQBuSJSYttkw2mZTpE-VQ73H3AxVyWaYSkxhXs/s400/DSCN5314.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437340189071576562" border="0" /></a>The Landmate is worth every cent. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSRGBlH_9Wub7uDpYhQfKHnHZkIxEutu42NZP0TFkvGQPqbcfxUJdTOhLv_1AA_-c2TWf1wDjTGM-bf5CZ9aXJjl9dp3J1VLk3ddylb7MyxFbHvUep6PqA3gc1iX00syZMTZqB7hoDH9Y/s1600-h/DSCN5309.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSRGBlH_9Wub7uDpYhQfKHnHZkIxEutu42NZP0TFkvGQPqbcfxUJdTOhLv_1AA_-c2TWf1wDjTGM-bf5CZ9aXJjl9dp3J1VLk3ddylb7MyxFbHvUep6PqA3gc1iX00syZMTZqB7hoDH9Y/s400/DSCN5309.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437343030258009090" border="0" /></a>The sheer detail and the huge gun...don't forget the huge gun looks like something that could make Robocop pee in his metal pants(oldskool reference!!) .

All the figures comes with 14 points of articulation.

Sadly, despite my extensive search for action figures in Brunei, it was not as productive as I had hoped. In fact it was down right embarrassing. I have nothing to show because all my toy expenses went to fixing my car.<br /><br />Anyway, it's been almost 2 weeks since I got back here in Canberra and I'm still getting my act together. So I thought I'd start off the blog with something light. I know the Toy Story movie has been around for ages but Disney Pixar is re-releasing the movie in 3D at the cinemas in anticipation of TS3 this June, the store shelves are packed once more with TS merchandise(it has been there for the last 3-4 months I think). Lil' Princess Lobo is so into Pixar movies as of late and TS is her fav. So I thought it was fitting that her first action figure/doll to be this.<br /><br />************************************************************************************<br />Name: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Toy Story - Sheriff Woody Talking Figure</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwQwzHvbKQQOTiRUUED9MO2DmTgZgs4nVCTcFvnI3THExrBFAoJI0vmBQzF7gG-1xK04Ao3qY2o2zHYR1N9IlTiga4V0maAiddEgQ8pZ44V1qgD3F6l7CXrUs1dMBUMqAwiAYDVGXIbQ/s1600-h/Woody.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwQwzHvbKQQOTiRUUED9MO2DmTgZgs4nVCTcFvnI3THExrBFAoJI0vmBQzF7gG-1xK04Ao3qY2o2zHYR1N9IlTiga4V0maAiddEgQ8pZ44V1qgD3F6l7CXrUs1dMBUMqAwiAYDVGXIbQ/s400/Woody.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436602734199510354" border="0" /></a><br />Height: <span style="font-weight: bold;">14"</span><br />Toy Company: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mattel</span><br />Price: <span style="font-weight: bold;">AUD 45 - 60</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Packaging</span><br />The packaging is very TS theme-ish. A big window to display the figure with Andy's wallpaper design in the back. There is a hole in the back of the box for you to pull Woody's string to hear his signature sayings. For some reason I've always liked that cloudy wallpaper. It looks so innocent and calming.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9MceIOlv6QjYvQkXpQLTctn5wMD-D6LKcy-1mCCxyJWEGjhKBF8rfx6NT075mapuCr2BTntJVsL4si6v2pcEQWMJJbnBKlaga7sADndURbWtxCke2hKVceSjXpzA0o4gTTdLBETFyC4/s1600-h/DSCN5789.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK9MceIOlv6QjYvQkXpQLTctn5wMD-D6LKcy-1mCCxyJWEGjhKBF8rfx6NT075mapuCr2BTntJVsL4si6v2pcEQWMJJbnBKlaga7sADndURbWtxCke2hKVceSjXpzA0o4gTTdLBETFyC4/s400/DSCN5789.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436840343473328418" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Details/Sculpt/Accessories/Articulation</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"Woody is the town Sheriff and Andy's favorite toy. All other toys look up to Woody until a certain Space Ranger lands in Andy's room."</span> (forgot to put this in earlier -- ed). Whilst this figure is not really movie accurate(<span style="font-style: italic;">because the company claims the Sheriff Woody 'Toy Story Collection' is</span>), it's good enough.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRDovkqez-qkDqGpGtGPgGdW5I23gi62n1VZ1Iv1o-_B-K69gDXHUmMR8dfs1OSKsQnwIYPcJuFwDE72QTWJjSgUpHUGxLn-ATo7KW6BzzRduLhuNFk8RADDYPi3thwrnO08-gK-XFYc/s1600-h/DSCN5793.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixRDovkqez-qkDqGpGtGPgGdW5I23gi62n1VZ1Iv1o-_B-K69gDXHUmMR8dfs1OSKsQnwIYPcJuFwDE72QTWJjSgUpHUGxLn-ATo7KW6BzzRduLhuNFk8RADDYPi3thwrnO08-gK-XFYc/s400/DSCN5793.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436841475546374066" border="0" /></a>They can't really go wrong with the sculpt because I'm assuming they're using the 3D model used in the movie to create these toys. The head, hands and boots are made out of soft plastic. The shirt and pants are cloth and the only accessory it comes with is the hat which is made out of soft rubber.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5kpwKjuULK5Nv84oQXQYC2woXm6tUivybjuYIaqkbXUEiCVN4LLxiHgayYuei1vlFPGdIU2f2MYsSmmP8cJZJQ4giS7bozzrzVSY_ojLPpffgkv1G3hZvTIeTGKuEhGvgWn3bAuCTTM/s1600-h/DSCN5795.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5kpwKjuULK5Nv84oQXQYC2woXm6tUivybjuYIaqkbXUEiCVN4LLxiHgayYuei1vlFPGdIU2f2MYsSmmP8cJZJQ4giS7bozzrzVSY_ojLPpffgkv1G3hZvTIeTGKuEhGvgWn3bAuCTTM/s400/DSCN5795.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436848947072940898" border="0" /></a>But the first thing I checked about this figure was the name under the right boot. I'd feel really cheated if 'Andy' was not printed there. Also worth mentioning is the pull string. The string is not as long as the one in the movie. The reason behind this is that this figure is electronic and the 'pull string' at the back is realistic purposes only. There are 7 sayings which are: <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Draw", "This town ain't big enough for the two of us", "There's a snake in my boot!", "You're my favourtie Deputy", "Somebody's poisoned the waterhole", "Yeehaw, Giddyup partner!"</span> and <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">"Reach for the sky"</span>. Personally, I'd prefer this figure to have more sayings.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLjgAZ_qy9szpHNa63KUzaiy7Ay0epdJQ42DC0aIR8FNhgLOqHpCXs6GyhkdAp7f4pB_qkP5nKo_-uXIVgQSdHkT595m6xCnQKWLI36I8t_d1JNOjJ7rFKjrT9OQ70Ylz9OBxrJe2o8U/s1600-h/DSCN5796.JPG" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqLjgAZ_qy9szpHNa63KUzaiy7Ay0epdJQ42DC0aIR8FNhgLOqHpCXs6GyhkdAp7f4pB_qkP5nKo_-uXIVgQSdHkT595m6xCnQKWLI36I8t_d1JNOjJ7rFKjrT9OQ70Ylz9OBxrJe2o8U/s400/DSCN5796.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436849769856377314" border="0" /></a>Articulation wise is a definite no-no. This figure does not stand on its own and the arms and legs just flails around when you carry it. Maybe that's the real appeal of the toy? Honestly, my daughter just loves to carry it around.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Overall</span><br />This is a very nice toy to get for yourself or you kids. I would suggest you get this if its for your kid. If you're the toy collector/enthusiast, like I said earlier, there is the 'Toy Story Collection' version which will cost another $20 - $30 more. That figure is slightly taller than this, has more sayings(a LOT more) and comes with an authentication certificate. In other words, things that a kid could care less especially the certificate. I've also bought a Buzz Lightyear to accompany Woody. I'll do the review for that next. Till then, keep collecting guys!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Score: ****1/2 out of *****</span>Lobohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426968091266695077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817844994596642915.post-78579617952343196172010-01-02T17:24:00.000+11:002010-01-02T22:33:55.517+11:00Update : Figure HuntingI've been back for a week now. I've managed to visit most of the shops other Brunei toy bloggers have mentioned in the past. So far I'm impressed and appalled at the same time. The selection is growing because 2 years ago they weren't any Star Wars figures sold anywhere. It was as if it was unheard of. Now, Hua Ho, Bebeland, Chong Hock and GoFi6ures are selling them.<br /><br />The price on the other hand, let's just say some shops need to check with each other what the price range should be. If you're going to compete with each other, a $2 price difference is somewhat pushing it. A $5 - $7 difference? You should be shot out of a canon into an active volcano which just erupted. I'm guessing some shops still feel they can get away with it because they assume toy collectors don't talk to each other? <div><br /></div><div>If you're going to be serious about supplying toy collectors then act serious. We know it's the norm for you to jump on the bandwagon because action figures are the 'in' thing at the moment. But at least do some research. If the boxes are starting to gather dust...it could be a). you're shop is dirty and you're staff is lazy to dust the place OR b). It's been there for quite some time because nobody wants to buy it due to the price.</div><div><br /></div><div>And lastly to some of the shops(you know who you are), LABEL the prices of the Goddamn toys properly! Enough ranting...Its good to be back in Brunei!! </div>Lobohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10426968091266695077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817844994596642915.post-26465555868279803732009-12-28T01:26:00.002+11:002009-12-28T18:31:49.312+11:00Winners of the 1st W.A.R.

I purposely did not put a result date because I was not sure when I could really sit down and have a good look at all the pics submitted. Tentatively I'm looking at the 28th December to announce the 4 winners(names and pics will be posted here). Yes I said 4. There will be 2 spots for 2nd runner up. Yay!! I will contact all the winners via email to confirm which prizes they choose. And in case you're wondering, the Winner will of course have the honour of selecting then 1st runner up will select from the remaining prizes and so on. <br /><br />I'm in the middle of doing some last minute preparations to go back to Brunei on the 26th. Hopefully all the winners could meet up with me to collect their prizes.
