Toy haul after a long time 久违了的玩具购买

Few days ago I saw XL bring in a series of Ghibli Studio's toys. All the while me and my wife are very interested on Totoro's toy. But, after I saw the pictures of these Totoro toys, I've decided to give up.

Last night a friend of mine went to buy 1 set of the Totoro. He strongly recommend me to buy this set. So I went to XL to check the actual thing after work just now.

After saw the real thing, I've been poisoned. At the end I bought these Totoros & the black cat Jiji from Kiki's Express Delivery. I've broke my record of didn't buy toys for more than 6 months +_+

There's still a Totoro I didn't buy, which is the Neko Bus. I've to give up this one because not enough budget


前几天看到 XL 进了一批 Ghibli 动画的玩具。一路来我和我老婆都对龙猫的玩具有兴趣，但我在网上找到这系列龙猫玩具的图后就打消了购买念头。

昨晚一个朋友去买了一套，大力推荐我去买,因此刚才放工后就去 BTS 的 XL 店看看实物。

看了之后就中毒了，结果买了这些龙猫和《魔女宅急便》里的黑猫吉吉,破了我超过半年没买玩具的纪录 +_+

整套还有龙猫巴士,但因为预算不够的关系而被逼放弃.

Finally, I bought this..... 终于，我买了它。。。

After did lots of research, I finally decide to buy this at Low Yat yesterday.....
经过长期的资料搜寻，昨天我终于下定决心把它买下了。。。。。











I've to say sorry to those who thought this is an iPhone 3Gs :P. It's actually iPod Touch 32gb, which is an iPhone without phone.

Besides the calling ability, it lack of GPS & camera too. Its price is less than half of the iPhone --- iPhone 3Gs 32gb RM 2990 without plan, iPod Touch 32gb RM 1,199 !!

Since my phone still working & I only need a PDA to do some note recording, so I've chose iPod Touch instead of the expensive iPhone 3Gs :P


我要对那些以为这是 iPhone 3Gs 的朋友说声抱歉 :P 其实这个只是 iPod Touch，也就是没电话功能的 iPhone

除了缺乏了电话通讯功能，它也少了 GPS 和拍摄功能。功能少了，价钱当然也比较便宜，iPod Touch 比 iPhone 便宜超过一半 － iPhone 3Gs 32gb RM 2,990（没拿任何配套斋机价），iPod Touch 32gb RM 1,199

我的电话还可以用，而且我也只是需要一个 PDA 来记录东西，所以我选了价钱便宜的 iPod Touch，而不是昂贵的 iPhone 3Gs :P

Nendoroids Suzumiya Haruhi

This is my wife's 1st Nendoroid. She got addicted with Haruhi by that time and saw this Nendoroid ver. of Haruhi will be release.

The main attraction of Nendoroid is its cuteness - big head + short limps. My wife bought it also because it look cute. Although Nendoroid lack of articulation, GSC gives few face expression for us to play. The painting and QC is very good. You don't really need to go and check for the quality when purchasing it.

Nendoroid Haruhi is a quite early stage released Nendoroid. Like other toys the design is not fully matured and has some flaws. The biggest flaw is it cannot stand by it own. It need to use the display stand provided to stand. The stand use a u-shape holder to hold the figure. There is no instruction leaflet inside the box to teach us how to use the stand. I tried to clip the stand on Haruhi's waist but it's not stable at all. Haruhi will either break into half or fall down. Luckily GSC did improve the Nendoroids stand in future releases.

Unfortunately, Nendoroid has bootleg selling in the market. So becareful when you're going to buy a Nendoroid via online or retail shops. Here's a link from GSC to teach us how to differentiate bootleg & original Nendoroids (Jap. language) - How to differentiate a bootleg Nendoroid


这是我老婆迷上凉宫动画而买的第一个 Nendoroid 玩具。Nendoroid 迷人的地方就是它的可爱 － 大头 + 短手脚。老婆就是因为它的可爱之处而买下它。

虽然 Nendoroid 缺乏了可动性，但 GSC 很大方地给了几个脸来让我们交换表情。Nendoroid 凉宫的品质很好，不需要做什么检查就可以买下它，这也是 GSC 玩具的最大优点。

Nendoroid 凉宫是早期发售的 Nendoroid，整个玩具的设计还不成熟，因此也存在很多缺点。最大的缺点就是如果不用附送的脚架，它根本就站不稳。

脚架的设计也有问题存在，它设计成一个 U 形状的钩。盒子里面也没有说明书，根本就不知道要怎么去用脚架。我尝试夹在凉宫的腰，但一点也夹不稳，不然就是凉宫腰部被＂一分为二＂。还好接下来的 Nendoroid 脚架已经改善很多

就如很多玩具一样，市面上也有很多盗版 Nendoroid，所以买的时候要小心，尤其是网上购买。GSC 官方网站提供了一些辨别正版和盗版的方法 － 怎样辨别 Nendoroid 的正与伪

Nendoroid Nagato Yuki

My wife was not at home last Sunday. I took this opportunity to take out her Nendoroid Nagato Yuki and shoot some pictures of it :P
上个星期天我老婆不在家，我就趁机偷偷地拿她的 Nendoroid 长门出来拍些照 :P

Not much of accessories..... According to the box art the extra face should be a smiling face, but I can't see anything different compare to the frown expression face. I suspect the factory pack the wrong extra face in this box =_=
配件不多。。。。。根据盒子上的图片，另外一个脸应该是微笑的表情，但是我看不出这盒的两个脸有什么差别。我怀疑工厂工人放错脸进盒子了 =_=

Nice weather today 今天好天气

It's a fine sunny day now. Was planned to take my toys outside to shoot some sunny day's pictures. But at the end canceled because too hot :P
今天的天气好，本来想出去拍照，最后因为太晒而取消 :P

Small haul after 3 months 三个月后的小小收获

Stop buying new toys for 3 months & bought these at XL Berjaya Time Square last Saturday. I think I'll stop buying for another 3 months again. Need to save money to buy new accessories / lens for my camera :P
停止买玩具三个月后的小小收获。我看我会再次停止买，因为要存钱买相机配件／镜头 :P

Mine 我的


My wife's 我老婆的

New Home, New Cabinet (50% complete) 新家，新橱（50% 完成）

Me and my wife just shifted into our new home 2 weeks ago. Due to the Feng Shui reason, we've to put something in between the balcony and main door to "prevent money flowing out from the house". Me and my wife then decided to buy a shelf with doors as the divider. Not only it can be the divider, it can allow us to display our toys for the guests to see when they come in.
两个星期前我跟我老婆搬入了新居。因为风水的原因，我们必须在露台和大门之间放一个东西来挡风水，不要让钱财那么容易流出去（我也不清楚，是我岳母说的 :P）。因此我们决定买一个书架，不但可以挡风水，也可以展示我们的玩具收藏品，让客人一进来就可以看见 :P


The shelf is only 50% complete when I took the photo. We've no time to take our toys to display because we're going to have a house warming party last Saturday.
在我拍这些照片的时候，因为我们要赶在星期六的入伙派对前放些东西，所以只是 50% 完成而已

Please forgive me for the lousy photos because I took them at night under poor light condition + my lousy skill :P
请原谅我把这些劣照放出来伤大家的眼睛，因为当时是晚上和灯光不足，而且我的摄影技术还是菜鸟等级 :P

Top Right 右上角
I've put all of my Armored Core which is already snap fitted. I still got few boxes of Armored Core not yet built. So I'll change the layout again when I've finished the rest.
我放了到目前为止已经素组了的 Armored Core 模型，我还有几盒还没组，所以当我组了其他几盒后就会再整理这格。









Bottom Left 左下角
It's my room & I still not yet decide what to display :P Maybe I'll display some Lego 1st later

我老婆也还没决定要放什么，只是把其他的 Momoko 和龙猫放在这格




There's another shelf at the back but it's without glass doors. In the future, we may add doors on it and make it become another toys cabinet. We'll add legs for the shelves too because I think now the shelf is too low and the toys displayed at the bottom will be hard to view.
后面其实还有一个书架，但没有加上玻璃门。我们打算以后会加玻璃门，然后又变成另外一个玩具橱。除此之外，我们也会加脚给它们，因为现在两个架子都太矮了，导致下层里面的玩具看不到了

As you can see, the shelf isn't big enough to display all of our toys :P. So we'll change the toys display periodically (hopefully :P). I'll update the photos whenever we've changed the display.
这个架子并不大，大家可以看见能放的玩具并不多，因此我们会不定期换里面的玩具（希望 :P）。当我们换了展示后，我会再拍照分享。
