Fortress of Testicular Fortitude

The Gundam Fiesta 2009 Singapore will be open to the public from tomorrow. Here's some pix of the set up which I got on the way back from work today.



This fair's layout reminds me of the one I visited in 2004 in a Hong Kong shopping mall at Diamond Hill MTR. That fair had panels, model displays, group build diorama displays, and a staff controlled area selling model kits. Guess it's a tried and tested layout that works for Bandai. IIRC, I picked up my PG Strike from that fair for about S$150 then. Not a bad price then for a newly released kit.

Mr Bong, the Metro toy department manager shared with me that buyers would need to pick up a coupon from the staff, pay at the cashier, then pick up the kit. I do hope they control the amount of exclusives being released though. It's good that they're controlling the kit area, as having kits strewn all over the place would not look good.
