But then... we chanced upon an unexpected sale!! Other than the normal gunpla model kits at a 20% discount, making them very buy-able, we also saw Keropla!! which is keroro's plastic models!! haahaa.. XD
Heaps of Keroplas!
These are mainly the older stocks.. at a 50% discount.. ^^
Yups.. and the ultra excited pair of us, me and tako GRABBED, yes we GRABBED and HUGGED like a bunch of the boxes very close to us. and promised to bite anyone that tried to near us. XD becos the kits are SOOOO CHEAPP.. so we calmed ourselves.. and chose which ones we wanted.. at one point, we really hope chubbybots was around to tell us which ones to buy.. lolx. we were thinking of calling chubbybots, but realised we din have his number. XD honestly, i did tried calling out 'chubbybots' at random, hoping that he's one of those ard rampaging thru the boxes. XDD tako stopped me. >.<
And soooo... i'll present you with our Loots of the DAYYYYY!!!! (LOTD) lolx. tako really liked keroplas more.. cos they're cuter.. ^^
We bought a total of 5 kits!! muahahaha. ^^
4 of which are the MK-IIs!!! Unfortunately we couldn't find the last Keroro Robo MK-II to complete the set. Anyone noes where to get??
Tamama Robo MK-II!!
Kururu Robo MK-II!!
Giroro Robo MK-II!!
Dororo Robo MK-II!!
And our last kit... cos we couldn't find keroro robo and tako found this super cute..
Chibi-Kero!!! its baby Keroro!! look at wad's in his hands???? =DDD
Our reasons for such a splurging...
Yups!! we decided on these kits for a few reasons.. other than it being CHEAP. you can see the price differences on the boxes itself.. *nods* =D
As for the MK-IIs, you can see that it has two different modes.. a Mech-Mode and a Machine-mode.. each MK-II transforms differently.. but that's not the main reason.. The main reason is the "Secret Mode!" -FINAL FORM- 'God-Kero MK-II mode' that you see at the right side of the MK-II box!! wooo! ^^ and so we concluded that if we ever buy one MK-II kit.. we should complete the set.. XD Right?? isn't it soo?? Goood marketing there Bandai...
For Chibi-Kero, the reason is very obvious. the tiny gunpla kit and Zaku that baby keroro is holding, is simply irresistible!! it even has a tiny NIPPER!!!! omg. TOO CUTE to pass up on!! haha.. even i find it too cute.. you can imagine the look on tako's tentacles face! XP
So we ended up with 5 kits... xD
Alrites... that's all for today pple! im gonna rush out the Chibi Kero now for tako to play with it tml.. ^^ so hope you guys enjoyed reading.. and do look into some keropla for stress relieve when you're panted up inside.. whether its stressful workload/studies or MG modeling/paint job.. its good to have simple kits to work with time to time.. =)
thanks for reading again! feel free to comment! see you guys ard!
-Ever stumble upon an irresistible kit too cheap to pass up on? share with us!-
(^^)" レンです！ じゃね！
wow that's cheap !!
ReplyDeleteI only have one keropla >_< series no.07 like what you bought there
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! awesome loots! lol i just made a comment to you saying i wanted the whole Mk-II set and here you make a post saying you got 4 of them at a great deal! haha i wanted to get the set for the final form combine also. will look for some keropla now, need stress relief too ^^
ReplyDeleteman, i laughed so much reading your reaction to seeing the cheap goods and calling out for chubbybots XD but he is a well of gunpla knowledge!
oh cool i didnt know of the chibi-kero kit! need that now too for the mini gunpla... wow i added a lot to my must GET list after reading this post :P look forward to seeing them built!
Oh, I'm interested to know what MG they have on sale there. ^^
ReplyDeleteDarn, those are some awesome discounts. XDDD Yay for loot!! Getting more kits for less is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI still have yet to go to Taka! [I lol'd at the pun, by the way xD] I've always loved looking at the BAKUC entries. Pity about the lighting making photography hard; but now it gives me an excuse to head to Orchard on Monday. :P I wonder how much Gaddess goes for at 20% off.
This post makes me want to get a chibiKero pla. xD
Yea, my brother got the keroro like you did!
ReplyDeleteBut was the lighting that bright? I went there yesterday, and it was DARK...
@ Evangelisque: The gaddess was like $27.95.
ReplyDelete@Marzz Thanks!! I'm guessing that's not too much difference from HAG [I think it's 26 bucks there].
ReplyDeleteAww... Looks like I missed out on the sale. The only time it's better to buy from retail stores is when they have all-out clearance like the keroplas or a certain series with lots and lots of variation kits *cough*Destiny*cough*. The 10/20% discounts off normal kits are sometimes still more expensive than buying from a hobby shop.
ReplyDeleteI have less than 10 MG's and half of them were found lying under these clearance piles. The most expensive one was an MG Zeong at SGD$30. I watched the price fall over the months from 80 to 60 and one day it was just dumped in a trolley at $30 a pop!
So many kits.... @_@
ReplyDeleteWished I could just teleport in and out just to grab those.
Ah!!! Those are really really good grabs!!! Now you only lack keroro to complete your gattai mech!!!
ReplyDeleteLol me rumaging :D I'll be loading by the cartful for these stuffs lol.
Irrisitable kit hehe...I got my HGUC Nu Gundam at 30 dollars, I won't say its the cheapest but I'll say its the best for value buy for me.
Ps : If there is a Takoshimaya sign me up with the discounts on gunpla haha!

ren.
Everybody!! thanks, for dropping by and sharing with the excitement of getting 5 boxes of totally adorable kits. It's fun to just think of it, imagine combining of the MK-IIs.
ReplyDeleteFirst we started out like farmers harvesting, walking by the aisle and picking up the kits, hands-filled with Keroro. Aren't we here to look at gunpla?? then i was thinking of telephon-ing chubbybots, when Ren said out the exact same thoughts! then Ren started calling out "chubby*cough*bots" and i jumped over to cover to muffle him.. lol.
and if ONE day, i am capable of opening a Takoshimaya, all of you here will be our special platinum members with the best discounts for gunpla!!
Now am looking forward to playing with our new kits. OH, dun worry Yako, Gojira-san & my un-make-up RX78-2, i won't forget u guys!!
Thanks. I'm going there early December too, so I want to know first. ^^
