Transformers Sports Label

These are one of my most prizes possession in my Transformers Collection. The two Nike shoe boxes you see here are the Transformers Sports Label feat Nike Free 7.0 with Convoy(Optimus Prime) and Megatron. I bought this from eBay in 2004 for around close to BND$200 for both of them. Bidding was crazy as there were many people fighting for these items. Please do not mistaken this with the fake Nike Shoe Transformers found on most local toys store retailing for around BND$20 to $30. These are geniune items made by TakaraTomy with Nike. The shoes are transformable. If I can recall, TakaraTomy made 3 versions (01,02 &03). Being 03 as Ultra Magnus.

Tomy - Disney In A Bottle

These items were once sold at CH-Toynation around 2004. Kept this 2 because it is mono-chrome in color. I think its very unique items but too bad Tomy don't make them anymore. The bottle can be open and it comes with a little scroll of the toy details. I think the little mean fellow is Brutus and the boat is version is " Steamboat Willie 1928 ".

Steamboat Willie (1928) is an animated cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse released on November 18, 1928. It was the first Mickey Mouse sound cartoon (Mickey had appeared in two earlier cartoons, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin' Gaucho). It was also the first Disney cartoon to feature synchronized sound.^[1] Disney used Pat Powers' Cinephone system, created by Powers using Lee De Forest's Phonofilm system without giving De Forest any credit. Steamboat Willie premiered at New York's 79th Street Theatre,^[2] and played ahead of the independent film Gang War. Steamboat Willie was an immediate hit while Gang War is all but forgotten today.

QUIZS - Question 1 Answered !

I was expecting everyone to get this Question correct. Apparently not, I think there were some confusion with some of the readers so I went to change the Question to make it easier. Still, no correct answer. Hehehe. Anyway most of them got the Mazda correct but all of them got the Nissan wrong. Here are the correct answer I am looking for :-

Yellow ChoroQ

Car Manufacturer Names = Nissan
Car Model names = Skyline GT-t, Skyline 25GT-t or Skyline 25GT-turbo
Manufacturer Chassis "Codename" = ER34

Grey ChoroQ
Car Manufacturer Names = Mazda
Car Model names = MX-5, Miata or Roadster
Manufacturer Chassis "Codename" = NC

Lots of people think that my yellow car is GT-R, like I said in Q2, it is not. I wished it is a GT-R but I am content with what I have right now. Below are the lists of code/name that are frequently used in the Quiz. I had explained it out so you know why that is not the answer I am looking for.

RB25DET is the engine codename for GT-t
RB26DETT is the engine codename for GT-R
GTR Chassis Codename is called BNR34

Can reader rex please explain to me what is " 76577 & 76576 " ?

Getting just the Mazda part correct doesn't win you a prize as I need both of them to be correct. So no winner for Question 1, let see how we go in the next Quiz sometime in the future. Thanks again for all the bloggers and readers that had particiapted in the Quiz.

QUIZS - Question 2 Answered !

Ok here are the moment you guys are waiting for. I will discuss Q1 later so let me go straight to Q2 first.

Question 2 : I have over 40 ChoroQ in my possesion. Why do you think I specifically choose these 2 ChoroQ for the Photoshot and Quiz? (Hint: How are these 2 cars related to me? Answer is not as easy as it seem so think a little harder !!!)

Answer to Q2: Mazda Roadster Miata MX5: Your 3rd car and you share it with your wife. You even gave this car a nick, Little NC(From Black NC)! =D Nissan Skyline ER34: You got this car around 2000. It was given by your parents as your 21st birthday gift. 2 accidents, 2004 & 2005 with this car. ;)

Reader Double H had scored what i called a " Perfect " answer. His answer is simple and straight to the point. Actually there is another reader, Qizolinee, who also got the closest correct answer but as Double H was the first to post I will have to give away the prize to him.

So how did he win? Very simple, I would have guessed Mr.Double H double clicked my "Blog Profile" and checked my other blogs and found all the answers he need related to Q2. Well done my friend!!!

Now the other answers provided by the others was good but not detail enough. Yes I do own both cars. My first car is yellow, second is xxxx and third car, Mazda I am sharing with my wife. Yes both ChoroQ are the same colors as my actual cars. Almost all the readers mistaken my car as GT-R. As a matter of facts, it is not a GT-R, it is just GT-t ^_^ and also advertising my license plate is not recommended in the blog. LOL. No, I did not use the Mazda to date my wife hahaha. I have to say I really enjoy reading all the answers as most of them put a big smile in both me n my wife faces.

So what prize am I going to give away? How about a mobile phone? Yes, that will do it. I am giving a brand new NOKIA 1661 mobile phone to Double H.

CONGRATULATION TO DOUBLE H !!!

NOKIA 1661



BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE QUIZS!!!

Disney Mini Characters

In 2006, I visited Disneyland in HK with my family. They said it is small compared to the Disneyland in USA, Tokyo and France. Well, I never been there yet so I can't judge. These little cute Disney characters can be purchased at one of the Disney Souvenir Shop. I was walking around the shop when Donald duck caught my attention, so I threw all the available characters inside my shopping cart along with some other merchandise. Pretty cheap given it is Disney Original Merchandise.
