My first Series 13 Be@rbrick

East mountain rises again!!! I think I sound like a deranged person when I said that. It is a nice feeling, to start my collection once again. Reminded me of the times when I was introduced to be@rbricks by meowie24. Missed out on a lot since I stopped for about 2 years. The latest series is number 13, back that it was still single digits, hahaha.

Makes me wonder how they managed to find to many people to design so many different variations of these be@rs. I think one of my dream jobs would be to be asked to design a limited edition be@rbrick with a specific theme.

In each series, there are alphabet bears that spell B.e.@.r.b.r.i.c.k, Jellybean, Pattern, Flag, Horror, SF (science fiction), Cute, Animal, Artist & Secret Artist. The Jellybean be@r would be of a single transparent colour, the Animal be@r would have designs that resemble an animal & so on & so forth. There are 10001 things to discuss about be@rbricks & I do not want to bore you with all the details. If interested, let us talk more about it over coffee. Oh yah, the rarity is denoted in % in the side of the box.

As shown here, this is the SF be@r in Series 13. Every be@r comes with it's own "name card".

The back view of the be@r If the be@r is removed from it's plastic bag, it is not considered mint & the value will fall significantly. Many things to discuss about the authenticity of a be@r.

It feels good to be back.

Ja neh!!!

Born a Manchester United fan, forever a Manchester United fan

Finally got my hands on this be@rbrick that I haveen wanting to buy since I first saw it on the shop's website. Recevied a call from Chan (boss) that new stock has arrived & that I could collect it from his shop. I asked if it was still first come first serve but he told me that 01 piece has been reserved for me. So touched.

Went down to Far East one wet wet evening & quickly made my way to the shop, on the 4th level I believe. Chan was not around so the "pretty girl behind the counter" went to get the be@rbrick from inside a "secret cupboard" & called Chan to ask how much he was going to sell me.

He mentioned on the phone before that there would be a discount when I enquired about the selling price as I have forgotten how much was quoted on the website. On the way down, me & Yuri were speculating how much would be the discount.

"If they selling at 69.90sgd (assumed price, I really do not know the initial offer), den maybe he sell you 69sgd loh"

"But I used to buy a lot of be@rbricks from him a long time ago leh, maybe he remembered me & give me at 65sgd leh?"

"Hmmm... Sounds reasonable".

When I heard my "special price" I had a little wind knocked out of me. It was must lower than what I had expected. I took out my NETS card to pay & as "pretty girl behind the counter" was punching in the numbers into the cash register & NETS terminal, the phone rang again.

My "special price" has just been reduced again!!! I broke a little wind because more was knocked out of me.

What has I done to deserve such good prices!!!

Woo hoo!!!

Manchester United 100% Bearbrick

I have been a Manchester United Football Club fan longer than I could remember. I bought my one & only Man Utd jersey when I was in secondary 2 & it has stayed with me all these years. Back then it was big enough to be worn as PJs but now it is a little too snug for my liking. Meowie24 first introduced me to be@rbricks in year 2004 or thereabouts & I was hooked on them ever since. I guess there is some primitive urge to collect things that come in a set in everyone of us, so I guess be@rbricks awoken that caveman instinct in me. What better time to introduce this limited edition Man Utd be@rbrick than now?

Have not found the time go go down to earthx to place a deposit for the pre-order. Hope I make it in time.
