Wing Gundam Fenice - I think is the crappiest Build Fighter. And I LOVE IT!!

And there you go..

April Finds :: Build Fighters and Infinite Justice

For the mean time, this is going to be my last post about Gundam. I'm still collecting, and still buying and building, and maybe will still make short reviews and updates about my Still growing Gundam collection, but I kinda want to also make updates about my other toys, including the one I just started collecting, Super Hero Mashers and Star Wars Mashers, and 1/18 scale soldiers and other Action figures. So foroww I'm taking rest from Gundam and will start updates about these other cool toys.

Now, for the month of April, I got these bad boys..

Infinite Justice Gundam will be joining my other Justice Gundam, while Gundam The End and Wing Gundam Fenice with Meteor Hoper will be joining my Build Fighters collection.

Inifinite Justice Gundam (Gundam Seed Destiny)

Ive been longing to have this HG, since Justice Gundam is one of my faves, and alsoo I want to collect every scale and form of it, good thing I found one on sale in Toys R Us, Fairview Terraces.

Gundam The End (Gundam Build Fighters)

From range of 0 to 100, how cool do you think it  is to have an office boss who is also a Gundam Fan? I'll tell you, it's more than a thousand, sucker!! That's right, my office boss is the one who picked this up for me lol. A giant Gundam fanatic as I am, and as KC(who was mentioned a few times ago in some posts). Boss Marc picks up model kits from wasabitoys.com for both KC and I, since he is a regular, and we are relying on discounts haha. 

Wing Gundam Fenice + Meteor Hopper (Gundam Build Fighters)

Also one of my lo time targets from BF Series, the Fenice. Managed to find stock also in TrU, Fairview Terraces, but I was hoping to also get a Build Custom Meteor Hopper for it that timr, but is not available, not in TrU, not everywhere I know, unless I order it online or have Boss Marc pick it up for me from wasabitoys.com, ehich isnt available as wll that time. Few days later, on my hunt for Super Heroes Mashers, I reached Metro department store, also located in Fairview Terraces, and found a crumpled Metor Hopper box, alone on a shelf. Who cares about the box, I still bought it as it might be my only chance to get one for a long time again. Good thing all the runners' still in tact.

BTW, not my last Gunpla post. I got few more Fenice photos, following this one.

February Finds + Philippines' 1st Gunpla Expo Haul

Didn't really caught anything new for the month of January since I became too busy with my job and my time spent playing my 3DS during rests is outstanding, but I didn't complete forgotten about my blog, again. I also moved out of my parents' house last days of December last year, and I left all my Gunpla and other collections bound in our house, so Feb isn't a bad month to start a new Gundam gallery in my own pad.

LUPUS REX UNFOUND
The first one I got was Trancient Gundam Glacier, from Build Fighters. Bought it when my friend, Kc, and I ventured in a Lupus Rex hunt, which we found out isnt available then. Scored it in TK, SM North The Block.

LUPUS REX STILL UNFOUND
Couple days later, we decided to continue the journey, this time in Trinoma. with another officemate, Aira, tagging along. Still no Lupus Rex. I however got Gundam 00 Shia Qan[T], again from Build Fighters, and a Thor and Loki figure which was on sale, all from TrU. After that, I scored 3 Harry Potter wands on a bazaar which also happened to be its last day in Trinoma. And lastly, 2 figure cases from Japan Home Centre (no image thou).

LUPUS REX UNFOUND III - 1st Gunpla Expo in Philippines.
Our final stop for the month of February, before getting completely broke, was the Gunpla Expo held in Mall Of Asia. We went on its 3rd day and Kc and I 'kidnapped' 2 friends to come with us, Shan and Lyan. The event was a little disappointing, because we found out there are no more limited editions available, and there are not much stuff placed on sale. And the sad part was, we finally found out the motherfucking Barbatos Lupus Rex wont be available until second week of March. We enjoyed the exhibit though, and I scored a 17 year old Zaku III, and Gundam Tryon 3 (Build Fighters), which were the only ones I found interesting that were on sale. Also, a 2 in 1 action base, that is I believe new, since we didn't really saw them available anywhere else yet before.

The very tiring HG Lupus Rex hunt craze was started by Kc, who currently collects Gunplas from Iron Blood Orphans series. He was the one who asked me to buy the Barbatos model, back in my 1st week of December post, with the RX-78-2. It became his goal since then to complete all of HG Barbatos forms and he has been dragging me after work looking for it all over QC. Told him to somehow settle on the ones sold on Facebook by retailers, or get one Online, which are quite cheaper than if he will wait for TK or TrU to release it.

2016 Additions to the ShihoMT Gunpla Shelf

I know I started late this year, but I still manage to grab a lot of new additions to my Gunpla family. My first houl for 2016 came third week of November, then I didnt stop getting more, from old models to somehow, still new ones.

Fantastic Beast Houl
MG Age-1 Titus, HG Justice Gundam, some Sangokuden military units.
The set I got after the Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them premier. The Sangokuden guys are part of a Gundam sale event, and I got them for free.

November GTO Houl
My first package from GreatToysOnline. Most consisting Sangokuden models, and my first Gunpla which transforms from Sd to HG.

13th Month Houl
From my 13th month pay LOL!!  Got my first 2 SD EX-Standard dudes, one of which is Lolo Gundam!

Given the number of pals who joined my shelf today, I'd say this year has been a success in my Gunpla collecting career. Some I already made a blog entry this past weeks, and more will surely come. Have them scheduled, to make sure my blog will remain alive, even though my sched is really busy. No promises will be made for the coming year, but I will surely try to make more updates.

This year-end post is dedicated to my new found family from Q.Ave, It wouldn't be possible if it wasnt from the good peeps of my first BPO. Finally, I'm a real fledge adult. So, thanks a lot, 14th floor, for the great opportunity and I'm really glad to be part of the family! May we all have a very fortunate year this 2017. Happy New Year!!

1st Week of December :: New Kits

My collecting career doing really good so far, It's just the first week of December, and I already have a lotta additions to my pile of new model kits.

Thanks to the early release of my 13th month pay, I managed to snag Try Burning Gundam HG, Try Burning Gundam Sd Ex Standard, and RX-78-2 Sd Ex Standard, and a base stand also but do not pay much attention on that one. Now, the 2 SDs will surely find its way to my bloog in the future, but I kinda like the HG dude from Build Fighters that much that I might also make a review about it.

Yesterday, a workmate asked me to grab a HG Barbatos from a Toys R Us near my house, and on my way to get it, I found this RX-78-2 HG hidden behind Build Fighters boxes. No time wasted, I went home with my new RX-78-2 which I can use to try campaign items and the SD Ex Standards weapon transformations.

 

And today, after work, I decided to reward myself a Denial Gundam HG, also from Build Fighters, after receiving a pretty high score for the month of November.

Ive been getting a lot of Build Fighters, mostly HGs, and there are also SDs in the series but the only one I have so far is the Ex Standard Try Burning. Really like the series and I might as well dedicate a shelf to Build Fighters models only.

12.7.16 UPDATE
Got a new model kit, but not from Mobile Suit Gundam, its actually another series called Yo-kai Watch. I'm not familiar with the show or the toy line up, but TrU had all the toys from the series on sale, and I got really curious about the model kit, so I bought this character, Orochi, who I thought was the coolest one, most of the characters are cats.

Might get the other ones if this Orochi turn out to be good, and if they still have these guys on stock.

A friend failed to stop me from buying a new one, before we reached TrU, I asked her to do whatever it takes to prevent me from getting a new model kit, it's becoming an addiction. I'm now 3-for-3 days, but I think I'm done for the week. In your face, Ana Necor-Smith!!
