Lock S-foils in Attack Position

The 4th day of the 5th Moon, an observed commemorative day for the Force “sensitive”, once again arrived amidst this troubling period. Known as Star Wars Day, the fandom celebrate the Saga itself as a whole, a bond that binds regardless of species, races or politics…

Earlier the year, I’d mentioned that I’ll post up a review of the other set I got together with LEGO Star Wars 75299 Trouble on Tatooine, but have since yet to actually write anything about it.

Well, since May the 4th is here, might as well to finally get this done with…

I’ve been wanting to acquire the iconic Starfighter of the Rebel Alliance for quite some time now. Amongst the all available variants released over the years, all of them (aside from a select few aimed at the much younger audience) are categorized as the higher range, more expensive sets.

At least until the arrival of LEGO Star Wars 75301 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Starfighter.

I Guess Every Once in a While Both Suns Shine on a Womp Rat’s Tail

The Mandalorian Season 2 aired through Disney+ at the last quarter of the previous year, bringing back many familiar characters from the Clone Wars and the Original Trilogy to a stunning conclusion, at least until the next season.

In fact, the stinger at the last episode hinted at a new series featuring everyone’s favourite Mandalorian from the last century!

Anyways, today marks the annual levelling-up day of yours truly. Oh well, another year, another number to add upon the last…

Rewarding myself for my hard work surviving all these years, I’ve acquired a couple of new LEGO Star Wars sets earlier this month, one of them a playset from The Mandalorian.

This is The Way

The Mandalorian, a Disney+ series set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, was released to positive reception at the end of last year, garnering attention to itself thanks to its unique Spaghetti Western styled storytelling as well as introducing to us one of the cutest character since forever.

Released just earlier this month, this LEGO rendition of the series’s iconic gunship utilised by THE Mandalorian himself, quickly flew off retail shelves and rendered out of stock everywhere off and online all over the world.

Thanks to a local online distributor, I’ve managed to secure this wonderful set for myself much to my surprise, judging by its popularity amongst collectors.

Dolls of COSPAR³

As a closure to the report(s) on COSPAR³ from last week, let’s admire these lovely dolls that attended the event. :3c

COSPAR³_Dolls_01

Rotsa dolls big and small, male and female types, humanoid or centaur… It doesn’t really matter which manufacturer they are from, or how some of them may seem too realistic that eventually they freaked out some normal folks (I was one of these folks before Tama-chan entered my life… XDc), all of them are welcomed in the event!

Players of Costumes at COSPAR³

After two separate posts on an abundance of figure displays, now let’s have a glimpse at them cosplayers that turned up for COSPAR³… ^_^

Here’s Seo Yuzuki and Sakura Chiyo from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun for starters. There was a Kashima Yuu on Day 1 but she ran off in search of her beloved senpai… :P

COSPAR³_Cosplay_01

Only managed to get a handful of cosplayers’ shots over the course of two days, due to my lack of initiative to hunt them with my lens… ^^;

Anyway I’ll try to name the characters they are cos-ing by memory. Please help me identify and/or correct me if I got any of them wrong. =3=
