Great hauls from Comex this past Fri 29 Aug!
Thanks to advice from the infinitely wise drum wizard GandAlfe, I have successfully ventured into Mount Suntec and acquired the one device to store them all!
Western Digital My Book® Home Edition™External Hard Drive 1TB with USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and eSATA:
Great stuff it is. And much better when I need only use company benefit to pay for it. Check out the Eye of Storage! Menacing!
The other haul was most unexpected - unexpected because I wasn't thinking about it nor expecting to get it just yet until MayMayChua pointed it out. So waddahell, with a little more unused company benefit left and some top-up of my own, I bagged this drawing tablet. So, wow, now I can draw on the computer! Sweet!

THE MISFITS
I can't really say too much about them since I've only ever watched a few clips of them on YouTube and read some of their bios. They've got some really good music... Well seriously I mean it... I'm not just saying it to please you fanatic fans of The Misfits! Hey what's that behind you!? *Throws smoke bomb and disappears like a stealthy Brontosaurus!*
Phew! That was close! Ok I got these 12-inch figs of Jerry Only and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein because they really fit in with a sub-genre of SciFi/fantasy I love but never really talked about. So may I proudly present...
BADASS ROAD WARRIOR PUNKS FROM A POST-APOCALYPTIC NUCLEAR-RAVAGED WASTELAND!
And yes, starring The Misfits! Wholly inspired by retro-style movies of the genre from the great 80s (and probably early 90s)! Don't know this genre? Check out a list of movies here http://www.post-apocalypse.co.uk/reviews.html, and hopefully you'll get the picture.
Other than a few rare gems, most well-known of which is Mad Max II starring Mel Gibson, many of these movies are usually described as B-grade, brainless, silly or even exploitative, where villains usually do no more than depriving poor defenseless orphaned kids from a forgotten futuristic wasteland of their scarce and precious supply of expired candies. Ok maybe they do a little more than that.
Yup, these movies can be downright crap and trash, but hey who's gonna tell you what's not to like ('cept fer yerself, punkass! Anyone tell ya otherwise, you'll gut 'em and make 'em bleed... slowly... D' ya hear? *insert nasty scummy hyena laughter*)? So now's the time to rev up those rusty engines and get those dirty armored cars rolling! Cause you'll be joining the heavily armed Misfits as they take a fun ride in their Dune Buggy in search of the next peaceful settlement to plunder!

Goodbye Yahoo! Auctions... Hello eBay...
After so long buying and selling on SG Yahoo! Auctions, it's finally confirmed - this site is gonna go.
Learnt from an SGCollect Forum post (http://www.sgcollect.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59438) that it's (possibly) due to:
"the whole episode was incredible..they took user feedback and tried to weed out the errant users, taggings, etc...they tried but wasn't successful.they tried again but corrupted the source code instead.they tried for months but couldn't recover.bobian, must close it down..."
Not much more to say except that I will miss Yahoo!
Well then... hello eBay SG (as long as it keeps basic sale listings FOC, that is).
