Gunpla Steal Part 2

Damn, I'm such a sucker for cheap kits.....................

Couldn't resist getting a HG Zaku Warrior and a Keberos Bacue for $10 and $15 respectively.
Nearly got myself a Blade Rouzer, Blade King Form Sword, Garren Rouzer and Garren Buckle too, but then, my 'finance alarm' went off and I had to give them a miss. If not, the total would come up to roughly $125 or so...

Just finished on the Gouf Ignited yesterday, pics coming soon.

Gunpla Steal!!!!

Haha, chanced by OG PP today as I was working at a part time job of mine.
Decided to pop by OG after lunch to see whether they were having any sales on toys (still looking for that elusive TFA Deluxe Samurai Prowl and Voyager Wreckgar to no avail... (T-T"))

Lo and behold, saw this massive stack of toys by 1 corner of the toy section, with red price tags.
Whoo hoo, clearance time! Stacks of GSD HG kits and 1/100 scale kits, ryukendo toy and KR Blade henshin toys at totally ridiculous prices. Prices were as low as $10 and a large portion of the Gunpla's were slightly more than 50% off. Imagine, KR Chalice's bow weapon for like $15, Garren buckle for $15, Ryukendo figure with some animal bot for $12~$15?

Mai tu liao, grabbed me 2 Gunpla HG kits initially, the only Dom Trooper and a Gouf Ignited which was gold (some Rudolf custom) for $15 each. I actually wanted the included stands more than the kits itself since I wanted the stands for my 00 kits. Went back to office, thought about it somemore and I guess "greed" got the better of me, so I went back again and got me a normal coloured Gouf Ignited and a Civilian Astray DSSD Custom for $15 each again.

Wah, $60 spent in 1 go, rest of the week eat grass le... But at least I now have something to do during those late hours at night when I dun have anything to do but hands are itchy, mwahaha...

Now got something to do whilst waiting for the HG Trans-Am Riser, HGUC Hi-Nu, HG Susanowo, SD Sangou Koumei Nu Gundam, HG upgraded Cherudim and Kyrios.

Bloody hell, walk back into the flames of Gunpla building frenzy again after I quit in 02/03. Can't help it, the 1/144 kits nowadays are so much more articulate and posable compared to then and are cheaper than the MG kits which I used to do, though I only buy the kits nowadays during sales or from lobang thanks to bro HY.
Well, these are the 6 kits that I'd gotten recently, SD 00 Raiser, HG GN-X III, Dom Trooper, Civilian Astray DSSD Custom, Gouf Ignited, Rudolf's Gouf Ignited

Meringue "Cookies"(?) that take a whole lotta whipping

had some leftover egg whites after trying out a vanilla ice cream made with real vanilla pods instead of vanilla essence.

whipped the egg whites till foamy and then added in 50g of white granulated sugar.
whipped further till soft peaks and glossy and then added in a teaspoon of cornstarch.
whipped till stiff peaks.
used a piping bag to pipe into desired shapes and sizes.
thrown into a 100 degree Celcius oven and left to bake for an hour till lightly browned and insides are not soft. may take more than an hour if it's a large and thick piece.
left to cool completely and then kept in an air-tight container, these things absorb moisture very easily.
