SY265 Star Wars - Troopers

There are so many type of troopers in Star wars, I do not really know them all. Similar to Iron-Man, this 8 box set is colorful.

BIG BAD WOLF

The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale (BBWBS) came to Malacca again.. Buying books is fun during BBWBS. Seems the Big Bad Wolf  can be lovable after all.

Ever since my first BBW purchase of a box set of pokemon comic book, my son like it very much. So, I got him this, a Pokemon sticker book  containing close to 650 full color stickers of Pokemon from all over the known Pokemon world A good reference to increase your knowledge about Pokemon. I really did not know that there're that many Pokemons.

Books on LEGO. The below books have illustration on how to construct world famous building with LEGO bricks (or any bricks). Not all building pictured have construction instruction, only the smaller builds (understand as the big building model is big), but building bricks is all about imagination, so, start imagining (and buy lots of bricks)

  

Also bought this LEGO Technics simple machine illustration book. Great building instruction teaching your kids the basic of machine.Also, prepare to buy more Technic bricks.

Your kids dislike Maths, Science and History? Or find these subjects too boring? Get the lighter side of these mind killing subjects. "The Horrible" box set series for History, Science and "Murderous Maths". Total of 50 books. The contents are great and funny. Only thing is the paper quality is those soft copy paper back cover type, easily will get yellow in the long run. I find the Maths set a bit "murderous".

This one is for me. Bring back memories of my good ol' (actually young) days.

JLB Street Fighter

I saw this picture previously for quite some time from the net, looks "acceptably-good" right?

But in actual-physical, some of the minifig quality outlook does not really 100% look like the picture. It like seeing the menu picture of a McDonald Big Mac vs. the actual Big Mac burger. It is still recognizable as the Street fighters characters, but, it is just too "JLB". For those that have fond  memories of Street Fighter, and since no other brand made them, and its cheap; so, "Justified-lah". Not that I don't want to buy the other characters, but this set only consist of 6 boxes. Maybe there's another 6 box set.

M.Bison looks young (should have red arm), Guile should be taller (but his pants is nice)

SY263 CITY Mini Figures

Need more people for your Lego City?  You can now "employ" "foreign worker or professionals" to help out in your city. No need permit. Cheap and job ready. Caution : May disrupt the labor market demand for local "original" workers.
Joke aside, SY263 CITY theme mini figures set is good and a nice play set. The quality is tip top,

Good quality set

Today is Earth Day - here a quotes to share:

Iron Man variant SY262

Tony Stark made that many Iron Man variant? Blue, orange, green, red, it is colorful. Got to know that some of these are custom design IronMan. The green one has a  Green Lantern logo,-  ha-ha - without the Iron Man helmet, it looks like Tony Stark has cross over to DC and joined the Green Lantern Corp. This set is those fun, bright and colorful collection category, some may find it a bit too bootleggy, but in actual, most are base from real Iron Man variant. After searching the net, there is actually blue and green Iron man (minus the Lantern Corp logo)

What is those round dish anyway (Astro satellite?)

Hi, I am Tony Stark. Mask is not my thing, I don't hide my identity.

SY155C - Emma's Fashion Design Studio, SY155D - Mia's Bedroom

Something about this Friends series, they are colorful and full of accessories. Contents are exactly what shown on the box for SY155D, but somehow for SY155C, I got different accessories. Good buy for your little girls, or boys.  As we all know, Friends mini figures are a bit slender than normal Lego mini figures, they are sometimes refer to as mini dolls. I know Friends is base on the Lego Friends video episodes, maybe SY can create some "boyfriends"....
I got the football set much later, like that water dispenser

KidZania - Get ready for a better world

KidZania is deZigned to encourage learning through role-playing activities, allowing kidZ to transcend the boundaries of the grown up world to play their part in a community and also experience their dream careers through work while playing in a hyper real kid size city.

The Independence Fountain on the right

The kids got a  chance to ride in an ambulance, not everyone can do it in real life 

Wanna be a pilot ( a long wait though)

Yes, the concept is good, but the execution still depends on the staff, some wear a cheerful smile to make the children happy, while some wear a monotonous face, the noise level from all the kidZ (and sirens) may make one "craZy". But, it is a good place to acquire knowledge through play. Toddler's (2-3 yrs) entrance fee is approx 50% cheaper than children (4 to 17 yrs ), but for my opinion, it is better to bring your child after 5 yrs of age as most of the activities have age limit. Yes, it is cute to see your little ones dressed up in adult working uniform, but taking pictures of them in uniform (further comment on this below) is not that straight forward.

Entrance fee has gone up since last (year) we visited this place. Outside food is not allowed inside (even dry food), but the food sold inside is pricey and lousy. Fill up your stomach before entering, there's a Mc Donald just downstairs as the opening time per session is 10am to 3pm or 5pm depend on which day you go. Your kid can make their own sushi if they want to fill up their stomach with a little bit of food.

The food can still pleases the kids (does it?)

The thing that I disliked most is it is hard to take a decent picture of your kid in their role playing uniform, as most of the activities are conducted in closed door, and only their in-house photographer is allowed to take pictures. One had to fork out RM30 (per photo) if one plan to get them. There are quite a few conducted outdoors, especially the fire fighters, police and medics. Can even join the outdoor dance parade or performance.

Dance the day away

One thing my kid learns at KidZania is they have to work (not necessary hard) for money$. My son manage to make 200 KiZos (currency in KidZania). A better world? It is still a money driven world.

SY270 MYSPACE - MINECRAFT

Minecraft - 2015 Kids choice award for most addicting video game. (I remember my DOOM days - play until want to vomit). The thing about this game is the graphics is blocky, and it involve building your world with digital blocks  - just right for Lego bricks minifigs. This is the 2nd digital game theme set after SY COC. Well, actually just the head is blocky, the body, arm and legs are still the standard minifig parts. Even the weapon is non-Minecraft style. The accompanying bricks are good - SY gives a lot of mini Minecraft characters (Mobs) for companion. Great set for Minecraft fans. This set has a new base with a rotating platform to display the figure.

The rotate-able base feature is new from SY

Mini Steve,and the MOBs are greaat

Nothing else to buy, street peddler says stocks are slow due to GST. I saw so many new releases in the internet, but non came to my "place" yet. Even Minecraft bootlegs has many versions.
