Side-Tracked: Recent Haul of Such (146) - DX KR Decade Ride Booker, Candy(less) Toy KR Decade Figurine, Candy Toy KR Birth Driver / Birth Buster / OOO Taja Spinner, Candy Toy KR Double (W) Prism Sword / Bicker Shield / Accel Trial Memory

Today's haul at OG PP and CSC... Went crazy and impulse buys... But nevermind lah, at least still worth...


DX KR Decade Ride Booker
Bought this at OG PP, because suddenly felt like completing my little nephew's KR Decade gears...  And also he has been "showing" me review clips from Youtube on this (and K Touch too)... Anyway, it is way way cheaper than getting from TaoBao.com and even eBay... and it is the Japanese version... hahahaha... To add to the impulse, I also ordered a K-Touch (the Korean version) from eBay... hahahaha... From the Youtube reviews, this Ride Booker can only store 5 cards on 1 of the side, has a simplest transformation into gun mode, and a little teeny weeny blade in sword mode.... hahaha... Cost approx. $56 after 20% discount.



Candy(less) Toy KR Decade Figurine
Also bought this in OG PP, cost $5.90... There is a sticker that says no candy is inside... wow, "special" edition... Picture below shows the front, side and back of the box...



Candy Toy KR Birth Driver / Birth Buster / OOO Taja Spinner
Went back to CSC after purchasing the above 2 items, and bought more Candy Toys... must be crazy... Saw this set selling at about $10 more in the shop where I got the next Candy Toy set (Candy Toy KR Double (W) Prism Sword / Bicker Shield / Accel Trial Memory), and probably that's why  bought this set... Not open up yet, but think will keeo the KR Birth Belt and Buster first, unless little nephew wants... but will be giving him the Taja Spinner (hmmm.. can put his mini medals?)... Cost is $25.



Candy Toy KR Double (W) Prism Sword / Bicker Shield / Accel Trial Memory
Coincidentally, the shop, which I bought the previous Candy Toy set (Candy Toy KR Birth Driver / Birth Buster / OOO Taja Spinner), is also selling this set but for about $10 more... Yeap, although I have the mini KR Double(W) belt, this Prism Bicker candy toy is for my little nephew... Though I think I will take the Accel Trial Memory to keep first... Cost is $25.



Oh, btw, forget to take a pic of the DX Kiva Belt bought off eBay earlier... Do so now... This will be the Christmas present for my little nephew...



Have been taking a long break from restoring my KO TFs... Hopefully once this Kamen Rider frenzy (wah, Frenzy appears!!! Pile driver arms wacks floor...) is over, I can focus on restoring my KO TFs...

Minor Mod - Legend Rider Series Kamen Rider Garren Buckle (Belt)

Modified the LRS Blade Blay Buckle into the Garren Buckle (Belt)... because my little nephew likes KR Garren more than KR Blade... Hahahaha.... And since I am NOT prepared to  spend USD50 on a DX Garren Belt, I asked him if it is OK I "destroy" the LRS Blade Belt to become the Garren one, he agreed in 2 seconds...

So I opened up the buckle and replaced the red LED with a green one (last one I have, luckily still have). Was supposed to be an simple and easy task (for me) to remove and solder the LED, but seems my not-so-good luck still persists, always manage to screw up somehow.... anyway, manage to get the green LED soldered after some time...

Then I used a silver paint-pen and painted over the red colour on the buckle before using a green marker to paint over. Very tough as there are a lot of small little voids and hard-to-reach places, even for the fine tip of the marker. Also, the green marker ink somehow could not stay on the protruding details, so decided to paint these silver (see pictures below).

Finally, manage to cut a piece of thin polystyrene to the diamond shape and used a big piece of reflective-gold "sticker" sheet to cover the styrene. The whole thing is then glued (with super-glue) into place. Done!!!! Rare piece of Legend Rider Series KR Garren Buckle (Belt) is borned!!!! Hahahaha...


Picture below is used to show the green LED light when lit...

Sigh... my DX KR Faiz belt strap cracked and tore... due to my carelessness when trying to keep it inside the gearbox/briefcase... And after many attempts, manage to glue it back, though it looks very ugly now... Don't know why but it just seem to hate going back to its original place when gluing, so now the crack lines are VERY visible... sigh... anyway, have ordered some silver belts and such in TaoBao.com, so will mod the belts again when they arrive... Yeap, also gotten some for my nephew's mini KR OOO belt and micro KR Fourze belt...
