Oh I'm pooped



Hufff~ Hufff~~ Wiii~~ RAWKS~~~ *faints*


Just finished Second Day of ToyCon 2008, the supposedly First ToyCon to be held in Sing-ta-pour. And my oh my, what fun it was.

Freebies Freebies Freebies, what more can I say?

Well, 90% of the stuff there was for sale, but that 10% of things being Freebies is still impressive.

1. Be@rBricks

Best thing and cause of my pooped-ness, Be@rBricks. As some may have read on the Straits Times, these 1000-to-be-released-to-early-peeps-per-each-colour Be@rBricks were exclusives, only the first 1000 peeps get them, I was like what? The 400+th on Day 1, LesserThan100 on Day 2. Yes, I was that early.

The Straits Times said they were for sale to the first 1000 ppl who went "Gimme thar BearBricks~ Uwaaaaahhhhh~~" At least, That TechnoPriest told me that he read that. Obviously, they were free. DUH. The website said so and I trust websites more than the only newspaper that is allowed to be read for important new in SG. (The NewPaper is all about sex scandals and Today is just ads and poor humour, Straits is controlled news. LOL)

So I got both colours, which are basically the same, save that one is the opposite colour for the other. Red and white, either one colour being details and other being main colour. Love your country propaganda, I say.

2. MtG Theme Decks

Magic the Gathering Theme Decks were being shuffled out like nuts, you could either go play a demo against some promoter guy(who cheats, since he uses his personal deck and you use the pre-made deck, LOL) or you could run around looking for answers to a small "Name Teh Creature" quiz, only to find the answers plastered on some giant board and go "OH". I did both. Cept the "OH" part. Got me 1 Boggart Feast and Merroc Riverways Theme Decks each.

Actually, the demo game was quite fun, save that I don't play MtG and constantly stood there being stone, cause I didn't know it was my turn and I forgot to untap my lands... I ought to practise if I can. I nearly defeated him! Argh, just one more life point!!! I'm that noob at cards. Haiz.

3. Bag with a lousy game and a nice fan

The point here, is the bag. Cute. Done. Fan is cute too. But they ran out of them cute bottles, That TechnoPriest had one. The horror. The game is no even worth bothering to examine. Some ripoff soccer game, mefinks.

4. Ummm... what was it... Oh ya! Magazines.

Many many magazines, free. Thanks to Nii-tendo. It's great to visit events with bigbuck companies.

5. Umm... Oh heck it... Ah! Posters!

Everyone had posters. Mountains of them.

Some were unceremoniously ripped off the walls(I kid not).

Some were queued for hours to get signed by some artist(Didn't know them all, So I Dun Care and I Dun Get).

Some were from Xedo(These I got, since my sister wanted them. Allen, Lina, Lavi. Yup, It's D.Yaoi Man). Others were from unknown sources. I suspect Stormtroopers.

6. Negima, Rotten Ice Cream, Random Bot

Running... Running... Target sighted... Extraction in progress... Extraction 1 complete... Clearing area... Resume Scout patterns...

That's what everyone did on Day 1. Run around aimlessly lookign for the passport stamps to redeem stuff. That TechnoPriest got in 20 minutes before me, only to get one. I got all of mine in like 5 mins. EnginSeers ARE that Good.

Seriously, they took the trouble to print a big-assed book with a map in the middle on the staple point page(easiest page to find, random flips usually get them). and what do the civilians do? Tuck them away. And exclaim "AHHH!!! Where?" *imitates a typical SG-girl screaming "Where?!?"*

2pm gets you Gum... No, wait, GUNdam. No Gum. Haiz. Didn't want. So I waited to 5pm. Queued at 3.30pm till 5pm. No wonder my legs hurt.

I got a Negima Figumate, a Rotten IceCream and some Random Bot. Only Negi Magi Figumate was nice... Too bad I didn't get Asuna. Haiz.

Other stuff were... weird. Gonna just hoard them somewhere.


Anymore? Nope. Haha. But that much is nice enough for me.

Sad things:

1) I missed getting Alter Nanoha... HECK *shot* Guy queueing behind me got last one. Wanted to attack him. ARGH.

2) I didn't buy any Collateral Damage merchandise, simply had no mullah.

3) I didn't buy anything, cept Xedo. Thks to sistar. -weeps- Wait, I got that cheap Asuna Figurine... Ya... but not enough!

4) Too many peeps at the entrance, can't move. Help! Human Tsunami!!! AHHHH~~

5) Too many people chop place for "friends" I mean, one friend gets one more friend then end is okay. But heck, those idiot young punks and old asses propangated by the hordes. One became two, two became six, six became twelve. Luckily, this was somewhat halted by the addition of needing another clearance stamp with number to let you collect. Good management, guys.

6) People wanted to swop places with me. My number for the redemption of Negima was 150. Nice number. Woman with bad makeup in front of me wanted me to change with her equally bad-makeup friend to number 172. Not nice number. Said no. She keep asking and asking. I said "NO, THANK YOU OR RATHER, NOT". Done. Glare at me. Glares back. Glare fest.

7) They had DDR. Horrible. That TechnoPriest was dancing to Angelus(this song here that you just heard.) and got a C... Fitting for his name. Lol. Second time? Failed on first. Rubbish, I ought to demote him.

8) Umm... lack of freebies?

That's all I can think of now. Once TechnoPriest "Bent Sight" gets me the photos, then we talk. I simply was too lazy to camera everything.

EnginSeer NanoPulp, Off.

-runs back-

Oh yes! The most disturbing thing is that this fat-got got Figma from La Tendo, Haruhi and a Revoltech Saber.

I asked him where he gets it from, be it KKnM or La Tendo out of interest and hope that I may hop down to pick up a spare.

What Fat-got does? He sneers, "Wha? La Tendo, laaa..." and give a "Bastard, you suck my otaku balls" look.

I mean, I didn't ask you where you got it in ToyCon, just where you got it. and you act all high and mighty and act big.

And you don't even have a cospa shirt. Bullshit.

This has taught me that SG is full of peeps who think they are high-lvl otaku, but are in truth self-deluded rimholes.

Haiz.
