2010-03-10T12:07:00.009+08:00

This is Special Creative Model Ex: Zaku II produced by Banpresto.For 1,450 yen (about SGD 23.00) before adding whatever shipment charges, this item offer great value for money as well as lots of fun when you play with it and sure looks nice as display items as well.The box;Apart from this Zaku II, you can also get the Gundam, the Gouf and the GM, though I cannot find the specific SCM Ex: GM from

Banpresto SCM Ex: Gouf

2010-03-10T11:00:00.011+08:00

This is the Special Creative Model Ex: Gouf produced by Banpresto - Bandai's very own child specializing in other stuff that is not done by Bandai but surely it helps a lot to contribute some income to Bandai as a group.Well, I guess I have one Gouf too many already... this probably the 4th Gouf that we reviewed here...Received these items since last week but I was busy watching the DVD of my

More new Gundam stuff from Kawan Ria Toys

2010-03-06T16:38:00.015+08:00

I guess most of you living in the same jurisdiction as me probably have already known Kawan Ria Toys shop who joined the league with other local toy shops promoting Gundam and GunPla kits and hopefully making some profit along the way, which is good for business and good for all of us the Gundam fans.Anime Passion in Qlap Mall actively focusing on 1/100 MG GunPla kits and can be considered as

Zeonography MS-17 Galbaldy

2010-03-05T14:04:00.019+08:00

This is Zeonography MS-17 Galbaldy another figure from the GFF series focused entirely on MS from Zeon only and thus the name "Zeonography".This model offers you MS-17 Galbaldy and MS-14S Gelgoog. The reason for us to get this is none other for that Galbaldy coz at the moment, there is no GunPla kit for this particular unit.The box..Out of the box... plenty of stuff...You will get the figure...2

Problem with Auto Pagination is solved

2010-03-04T21:48:00.004+08:00

There's an old saying that I learned from Yako, Wako and Dot - the 3 protagonist of the popular Warner Bros. cartoons - Animaniacs."If you can't beat them, join them"Google/Blogger recently introduced the "Auto Pagination" and surely it caused lot's of problem to many bloggers out there in the whole world wide web.Shewsbury Land is one of those who were affected by this problem but after some

Cosmic Region Akatsuki Gundam ORB-01

2010-03-03T16:00:00.023+08:00

This is Cosmic Region Akatsuki Gundam Full Set.Cosmic Region is the spin off from Gundam Fix Figuration (GFF) toy/figure series from Bandai's Tamashii divisionThe GFF and GFFN figure series is produced by the legendary mecha designer Hajime Katoki and I guess it should be the same for the spin off series (Cosic Region / 00 Region)The original full price is 4,500 yen (about SGD 72.00) and if you

1/144 HGUC RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode (NT-D)

2010-03-02T11:30:00.028+08:00

This is the 1/144 HGUC Unicorn Gundam in the NT-D "Destroy Mode".I guess the meaning of NTD is New Type Device... well, maybe, what ever, just my wild guess.The story of Mobile Suits Gundam Unicorn (UC 0096) happen 3 years after the event in Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counter Attack (UC 0093).In the first episode of the anime or OVA of the novel adaptation, we managed to see a few character and to

Gundam GP03S is flying

2010-03-02T10:29:00.007+08:00

Because it's kind of boring to just see GP03S standing on my cabinet and thus I think the best and the most creative way to display him is the "flying post" (or on the air post - what ever).This is at my head's level so I can change the pose when ever I like. We use the fishing line that can take up to 27.3 kg (about 60.1 lbs/pound) to hang him there and so far so good now.Maybe I will do the

1/100 MG Shin Musha Mk. II

2010-03-01T12:02:00.008+08:00

Now this is one cool Samurai Gundam. I'm not sure who designed it, possibly also by Hajime Katoki as he is the one who designed the Musha and Shin Musha - but then again, maybe I'm wrong, just a guess.To be released by May 2010, at about 6,000 yen (roughly SGD 95.00 at current rate 1000 yen = 15.77) before adding whatever shipment charges there will be...I think I want this... if the leg inner

Auto Pagination Roll Up by Blogger

2010-03-01T11:43:00.005+08:00

After further research, we have today learned that the recent problem related to incorrect number of posts appear on the main page of Shewsbury Land is due to the Auto Pagination features introduced by Google/Blogger which automates the amount of content that is displayed on Blogger blog pages based on the amount of HTML and and images on each page.Google claimed that the purpose behind the

HCM 1/144 Gundam Mk. II AEUG (RX-178)

2010-02-28T12:08:00.003+08:00

This is a HCM Gundam Mk. II with AEUG color version released by Bandai way back in 1997.Obviously since the price is damn cheap now, about SGD 12.00 I don't mind to grab this just to see the technology of 1997...I was right not to put any expectation at all on this figure.... I believe it is not as great as the mecha figure produced recently by Bandai and that assumption before opening the box is

1/100 MG Gundam GP03 Stamen (RX-78GP03S)

2010-02-27T14:39:00.015+08:00

This is the brilliant GP03 Stamen originally designed by Hajime Katoki that appear in the extremely popular anime; Mobile Suite Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory.I personally feel, it is the best amongst many of the Gundam anime within the Universal Century timeline (UC) and even untill today, Stardust Memory remained as my old time favorite together with Seed.This GP03 Stamen appear in the final 3

Chinese New Year Decoration

2010-02-16T21:17:00.009+08:00

A creative way to re-use your previous year Chinese New Year decoration..A bull as decoration from last year.... now is tiger time... so in a way this is outdated....So what I did is... just take out that bull and use 1 of the Gundams to replace it and arrange for some posing and that's about it... you got yourself a "fresh and dynamic" looking ornaments...I've said this many times.... I love

Early morning on CNY day

2010-02-14T21:05:00.002+08:00

This is the usual busy morning at the temple on the first day of Chinese New Year.... every year it is almost pretty much the same but surely there are more and more people coming every year.... especially the "shutter bugs"...At the time like this, I really miss my old Panasonic FZ28.... guess it is inevitable that I shall soon get the Panasonic FZ38/35... been thinking to grab the Panasonic LX3

Sheng Lung Firecracker

2010-02-14T21:00:00.001+08:00

Bought this from the local Gundam shop - Anime Passion for just SGD 15.00 (for 3000 pieces of firecracker) and as Ryu and Wilson told me that this price is amazingly cheap, therefore I grab one as well while they bought 2 boxes...Of coz they made this in China.... I will be surprised if they make this thing in India....Looks like that machine gun bullets..... can't wait to play with this thing...

Scenery at the temple on CNY eve

2010-02-14T18:42:00.010+08:00

This is how it look likes every year in the temple here.... busy with lot's of people offering prayers and thanks giving to the god, goddess, deities, ancestors and the deceased for the new year festivities...The firecracker sound can be heard in the air here and there now... the festive mood is alive....

MiniChamps Panasonic Toyota TF102

2010-02-10T17:51:00.013+08:00

This is a 1/18 scale of an F1 car for Panasonic Toyota F1 Team produced by MiniChamps and in the model number is TF102.This model is quite expensive and yet fragile and surely not something that you will give to kids.The local price here is about SGD 150.00, some shop sell at SGD 140.00 and some other sell it for SGD 160.00 (and yes, no body bought it yet till now)...F1 car is all about those

Revoltech G1 Convoy

2010-02-10T16:55:00.009+08:00

This is Revoltech G1 Convoy a.k.a Optimus Prime.Though many Transformers fans disagree with me, but I personally love this classic look of him rather than the movie version as I think the classic looks more "gorgeous"...Unfortunately this item has been discontinued in HLJ but maybe you can still get it from E-Bay or any other toys/hobby shop in other country... it's a matter of luck...The initial

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black and Black RX

2010-02-05T12:33:00.019+08:00

These are S.H. Figuarts of Kamen Rider Black and Kamen Rider Black RX from the classic Kamen Rider series with the same name.We will do the review for both items at the same time here.The price for Black is 2,500 yen (about SGD 39.00) and the same for Black RX which is also 2,500 yen - before adding whatever shipment charges whatsoever.We've booked this item since late October 2009 and have to

Revoltech AV-98 Ingram 1 Movie Version

2010-02-04T10:42:00.011+08:00

This is Revoltech AV-98 Ingram 1 Movie Version which I get from E-Bay for a cheap price (SGD 20.00 + SGD 10.00 shipment charges = Total is SGD 30.00) ... In fact, in Singapore, you can get this item easily in many of the shops in China Square Central.The original retail price (in HLJ) was 1,900 yen (which is roughly about SGD 30.00) before adding whatever shipment charges .The box...Out of the

Z Gundam Heavy Assault Type Shewsbury Custom (MSN-006 HATS)

2010-02-03T14:17:00.008+08:00

First and foremost... it's "their" fault, not mine... the little problem have prompted me to launched this unplanned "kit-bashing" kind of project unplanned and without much thinking and consideration...Second of all, despite many difficulties along the way... I'm still glad that this project managed to survive rather then being wasted as pure rubbish...And this is it, after 3 hours of "quick-fix

Break Time - All that stuff is really tiring

2010-02-01T18:17:00.012+08:00

Basically just a continuation from Part 1.Traveling alone is fast and easy... traveling with family is a little slow and yet still tiring...My 3 "loyal retainers", traveling companion and soul mate... the Shewsburians...That noodles cost SGD 8.50 and damn big.. I couldn't finish it all...I considered the Butterfly and Insect Park in Sentosa as the best part this time around (apart from all those

Break Time - Ibiz Hotel Bencoolen

2010-02-01T11:00:00.020+08:00

Was away last week having some break, roaming around the city , eating and some shopping, spending money here and there and somehow the so called "break" is in fact tiring...As always, we like to share the features of the hotel room that we occupied... The featured hotel this time around is Ibiz Hotel Bencoolen located at the 170 Bencoolen Street (Singapore).You can see the location map here.For
