More cheap thrills

Few months back, I posted up about some cheap thrills we indulged in. Well this month we (as in the bf) indulged on a few more. :D

We have been visiting Toys R Us quite a lot recently, and if you noticed there are a few 'capsule stations' in front of the store. The bf will be eyeing the machines each time we exit and would then succumb to try his luck on the capsule station. He would make a beeline for the Dragon Ball ones.

First off, we got Bulma and baby Trunks (Ok, so I had to ask the bf for all their names). Let me tell you, this is one mean looking baby.

Cracked the egg

Grrrr...


Even in the manga he's mean!

Next time we were there, we got Goku (in a different form) and Piccolo. I found Piccolo's pink-reddish parts of his skin a bit 'geli'. Looks as if he has some flesh eating bacteria or skin disease going on there. We tried to mismatch the bodies and limbs, but turns out they only fit the correct character. Bah!

Disembodied parts

Piccolo: I Choose You!

Goku ready to fight

And then today, the bf went happily again (without me!) to get more figurines. He got Frieza and another bigger figurine of Goku together with Kamesennin.

All pinky

Frieza

Bigger eggs costs more

Goku and Kamesennin

Now we got a whole collection of Dragon Ball characters. Got them all lined up in front of our Gundam characters.

Those cheap thrills

One day after buying a present at Toys R Us, we noticed that the slot/toy capsule machines outside the store were having a 'sale'. The capsules were half off. So what the heck? We decided to indulge ourselves a little and try our luck at the machines.

After changing money for tokens at the counter, we browsed around for the machine that has the most attractive toy. The Bf settled on the Dragon Ball machine. We then put the tokens in, said a little prayer and turned the dial. Behold! We got 'Goku'. (Ok, i have to admit i asked the bf what character was that)

Goku in the egg

We went home, cracked open the capsule and assembled the body parts. Goku is now displayed next to one of our Gundams. (Which reminds me, i have a loooooong overdue Gundam post)
