Takashimaya 14th Craziest Toy Sale (Day 10)

Was slightly not feeling well, so didn't managed to go down as often. LoL~

Anyway, decided to get the InrouMaru @ S$20.00 after some consideration (though it is abit useless without the ShinkenMaru).

I am a sucker when it comes to electronic gadgets that produce sound effects (in-show) and people probably think that I am dumb to waste money on this kind of toy of 5 year olds. Hahah.



Also bought this WolKaiser Candy Toy Kit (set of 2) @ S$6.00 to test my painting skills if I am free in the near future. It would be an interesting attempt to paint the Wolzard in his Fire Red form and see how it matches up when combined with Valkyrion.

No Shinkenger for South Korea

According to http://www.powerranger.co.kr, South Korea has decided to skip Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and instead opt to re-dub Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger as "Power Ranger Jungle Force" as the next succeeding series premiering on July 19.

While unsure of the official reason, people are speculating that the heavy Japanese elements in Shinkenger is mainly responsible and would be deemed too sensitive. That could also be the same reason why Hurricanger was skipped over in South Korea as well.

Strange enough, I do not think that the above is the case whereby South Korea is still touchy about its past Japanese Occupation during WWII. There are so many instances of bilateral co-operation and exchanges that happened over the years. Some examples include, Korean Singers singing in Japan, Japanese Anime Naruto (also Ninja Theme) airing in Korea.

Also, Bandai Korea will be re-issuing the Gaoranger toys for Jungle Force. Interested people, please check out: http://www.bandai.co.kr

The reason why I said re-issue was because South Korea used to air Korean-Dubbed Power Ranger Series which started from Season 1 all the way till Wild Force. Subsequently, they began dubbing Super Sentai Series as "Power Ranger" with "Dino Thunder" (Abaranger) onwards.

Weird...

Takashimaya 14th Craziest Toy Sale

It's the time of the year again!



14 July to 1 Aug 2010 @ B2

Got time off from night work yesterday, so I was able to go in the afternoon.

This year round was spectacular! The Sentai section was packed with goodies right to the brim. Too bad, I didn't have the chance to take a photo of it. A desperate move on Sheng Tai Toys' part it seems after disappointing sales in the past recent years.



After some consideration, I have decided to get the Highway Buster Set for the BearV Engine Soul @ S$20.00. Do you think it's worth it?

DX Mystic Brother and DX LeonCellular

When was the last time I went to CSC?

Oh, almost a month ago from my last related post.



The DX Mystic Brother is long overdue at Ng's Collections; it's the only place which still imports Sentai Toys nonetheless. Uncle Ng pointed it out to me immediately when I entered his shop. Hahah, good memory.

Perfect timing, the LeonCellular is also in stock. Auntie tried to ask me to get the LeonLaser as well, but didn't succeed. Nothing new in terms of concept-wise for the LeonCellular. In fact, it's a direct rip-off from last year's SushiChanger; they work exactly the same way - enter a 3-digit code to activate the sounds after closing the flip cover. The only difference would be the Hiden Disk and the Gosei Card. Still, I am loving the voice commands. *Gotcha*

Got a S$10.00 price tag discount from Uncle Ng which brings the two toys down to S$90.00.

Talk about LUCK...

Just so happened that I accumulated a number of $1 coins, so I decided to try my luck at the Gashapon Gosei Headder Series 1 (at Toys 'R' Us):



The Purple Dragon Headder is the exclusive piece of the lot, as part of the 4 Exotic Brothers that appeared in Goseiger Epic 8 and Bandai Japan did not release any Deluxe Set. Instead, they were designated as part of the Gashapon and Candy Toy series.

In the end, I wasted S$12.00 (4 x S$3.00 each) because I keep getting the stupid Phoenix Headders. It's not 2 but 3!!! Argh! At least give me a red Dragon Headder so that I can paint it myself...



I seriously doubt that the Gashapon Machine is fair at all. To think I can get 3 Phoenix Headders out of 4. It is certainly not 1/6 equal proportions. Boo!
