I love days like these.
When I was doing my weekend toy shopping at CSC (China Square Central), I went into a shop and looked around like any other time. There was an extension at the corner of the shop (it acts like a little storeroom)and I went in to take a look.
Right at the corner, stood The Claw! Yes the machine in the Toy Story movie which house all the cute aliens!
The shop owner told me that it was a defect piece and the claw mechanism was not working. He told me I could have it for $5 and if I could fix it I had a great deal.
Damn! Even if I don't fix it I thought this was a cool display piece. I collect those Toy Story's aliens and they are so going into this!
When I went home to try it, the mechanism was working fine. The only problem was that the chain had broken off. When I have the time, I think it would be an easy fix.
For now,this will be the home for my collection of the Toy Story's aliens.
The chain had broken off

Following the TRANSFORMERS Cybertron Con's successful inaugural convention in Shanghai in 2010, Hasbro Singapore is thrilled to share the hugely popular TRANSFORMERS brand with fans in Singapore and around the region.
With the recent launch of TRANSFORMERS The Ride, and TRANSFORMERS: Dark of the Moon becoming the fourth highest grossing movie of all time at the global box office, it is a fantastic opportunity to bring this tremendous TRANSFORMERS event to Resorts World Sentosa, a destination resort that is very popular with tourists from the region.
The Cybertron Con will be held at the Resorts World Convention Centre from 11 to 14 March 2012.
So all you Transformers fans, be it of the toys, the movies, cartoon or just that Transformers is super cool, here is what is in stored for you at Cybertron Con!
1) The convention will feature an extensive display of TRANSFORMERS toys; cartoon animation and video games! The event will also highlight previously unreleased artwork, as well as workshops for aspiring designers.
2) Hasbro will present an extensive collection of historical TRANSFORMERS items from throughout the brand's 27 year history via a visually stunning exhibit. This I am freaking excited!!!
