Where to buy (ada kah masih ni bejual, im not sure) National Inn Emporium, price $6.30


Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Knight - Bandai


Kamen Rider Ryuki is also one the Kamen Riders that uses Advent Card for fighting apart from Kamen Rider Decade (the Pink black kamen rider), For the Kamen Rider Ryuki Series, it all started when Thirteen Advent Card decks were created for thirteen Kamen Riders (i have here only two of them) They make Contracts with monsters from the mysterious Mirror World, a parallel dimension opposite to our own in which only the Kamen Riders can exist. The Riders draw on their monsters' strength in exchange for feeding them the life force of the creatures they destroy. The creator of the Advent Cards has only one rule: that there can be only one Kamen Rider. The others must be killed, and the sole victor will be granted a single wish, which leads to a conflict known as the Rider War. (source from wikipedia)



Here they are Kamen Raida Ryuki and Kamen Raida Naito (thats what they call in Japanese)



Ryuki's Henshin Belt!

Kamen Rider Knight


Impressive Detail just look at the Henshin Belt, whereas the articulation is not as great as the S.I.C's, price? roughly around $16 per Figure

The 'Toy' story


While shopping some 'kitchen' stuffs, i came to browse the 'Toy' section of the store, and there it is, did i buy some? the answer is no, why? because i don't see any connection between me and the toys story stuffs, no offence though, its just my nature to collect that i perceive 'nice' to collect and things that are related or sentimentally connected to my life, and that's what i called sentimental value, but not like others just collect stuffs even if they don't know the 'story' but in the end who cares? collectors are increasingly wild nowadays, and its a good sign, the more the merrier, means that if they toy are sold out, the supplier tend to bring or order more stuff here and of course the less we shop overseas.

I dare to say that our country could use this as a "niche" strategy to diversify our dependent on Oil and Gas (which is depleting of course) and i heard the country is turning to Nuclear Power and that's another topic which is too BIG for me to criticise, anyway back the 'toy' story, like i say as a niche strategy is needed, who knows one day our country may have a franchising 'Takara" factory, we do have the natural resources and plus a great demand, In today's world toys are no longer for the children, even the adults are having it not play of course but to collect, as my friend said "some toys are not meant to be played" Anon, 2009.

A branded and classic toy are also Pricey nowadays, if you looked in eBay some toys could reached $5000 Usd dollar, Looking at these price hike why not take the opportunity, maybe by holding a World Toy Convention Expo, Gundam World Expo, SDCC and so on, here in Brunei, well nothing is impossible. We may only have a small population to have it but we do have a high purchasing power, and indirectly it could trigger our Tourism side, the more tourist the more money coming in and that's a good news for us.
