Well i wasn’t expecting my plastic to turn up today (and another package as well from ebay, but thank you Mr Postman for once again not ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door leaving me to wait til Monday to get that one back), and once i had woken up enough i started to make my glasses. After cleaning up some of the tools i had acquired recently, i quickly realized i wasn’t awake at all and sawed a 1 inch cut onto my left index finger using a tabletop cutting saw. After fixing my finger, the rest of the process was easy, far easier than i had thought before and wished i had ordered the plastic sooner. The glasses themselves are ok to wear, not exactly the most comfortable piece of eye-wear i own , but definitely the biggest and stylish ( to each his own…).
Next project – some sort of diorama for my figures. And some more photography. At some point.

and another week i look at my Wii and go “really?”. I mean, of course not all titles each week are gonna be great, but with Nintendo only releasing 1 game a week for the last 2 weeks, and this weeks game being one i again am not interested in spending my Wii points on ( played the game before, good puzzles and such, just don’t need to buy it). And with the slow release of actual titles on the Wii ( No More Heroes in another month minus blood, SSBB never at the rate it’s going) i keep my hopes up that at least every week there may be a gem to play again. A lot of people keep asking for the original Smash Bros on N64, i mean i have an original copy, but even that would be worth spending the points on. 1080 Snowboarding a few weeks ago was a glimmer into what seemed like the start of some good games to come, but once again Europe ( to be fair it’s also the rest of the world in terms of VC releases, but only Europe for the new games) is screwed.
Guess i’ll just keep spending my money on other non-nintendo things til something good shows up. Oh and if Nintendo were to ever grace this page, sort your damm stars to Wii points conversion out, as since the second day it was open there have been no points to trade for, meaning my stars that i have since SSBM came out on Gamecube and all the rest over the years are gonna disappear.

Well here are the shots of my first set of figures. I was very lucky in that each part of a series ( of which there are 2 at the moment, don’t know when/if there is a new one to come, would hope so) has 5 figures to collect, with 9 cards. Out of the one box i bought of figure booster boxes, it comes with six boxes. Having no idea what the ratio and likely-hood of obtaining each figure would be, whether some were rarer than others and such, i opened each box to be greeted by one of each figure, and a spare Kitan. Now i’ve ordered the other part of this series ( i ordered part 2 of series 1 first as i wanted Viral and Yoko) and part 1 of series 2 so i can ‘hopefully’ get Enki, Kittan’s ganmen, Lord Genome, Gurren, Lagann, Simon and Kamina ( i got both of them as i bought the starter set which they come with, but in the boosters Simon has his drill bit and Kamina his sword.). Anyways, until they turn up here are some pictures of the figures i already have.
Now if only i could get my hands on those model kits.
