Admin: Missing in Action

Wow, I've been missing in action for 4 months, just want to express my thanks to those who continue to support and visit this blog, and also apologize for being away for so long.

In this 4 months, I managed to visit HK (and surprisingly did not buy any collectables) and picked up a new hobby. Though there are some cross over with the main theme of this blog, the new hobby is, by and large, not related. But that won't stop me from showcasing this new collection on my blog...Just a hint, this hobby is extremely popular in the Pacific Rim...

Some recent news, no doubt every one knows that the 1/48 Gundam G30th version is coming in March, you kind of have to laugh at those who bought the almost 90000 yen 1/60 statue from Yahoo...

A couple of free ads:

Hobby Search has a "SAL" sale until Feb 11th I think, to celebrate their addition of the "SAL" shipping method. You get 15% to 20% off in-stock and pre-order items, it's worth checking it out. Note that items eligible for SAL is marked with a SAL sign in the item description line. Their website is www.1999.co.jp/eng, there are a couple of things sitting in my shopping cart, I am still sitting on the fence though...

If you missed the initial production of the PG OO Gundam (therefore you can't buy the clear parts from Bandai), you can either make me an offer I can't refuse to give up my clear parts coupon, or, go visit www.Angolz.com, they have the clear parts available for $46 USD last time I checked. Shipping to N.A. is about $23 USD. From what I understand, the parts cost 3500 yen + about 800 yen shipping from Bandai to a local Japanese supplier, so it sounds fair...
