Wonder Festival 2009 Winter Cancelled
October 10, 2008
Yep, you heard it right. This upcoming Wonder Festival 2009 Winter will be cancelled because of the on going further investigations that involves the recent Escalator Accident during Wonder Festival 2008 Summer back in August.
Well, good news is that this does not mean that Wonder Festival is over. The following next event, which is Wonder Festival 2009 Summer, will still commence as usual, hopefully. Basically there will be no Wonder Festival in the mean time until the investigation on the accident is over.
Official Announcement:
これまで開催延期を前提としてご案内して参りました2009年2月15日開催予定のワンダーフェスティバル2009[冬]ですが、いまだエスカレーター事故の原因調査が続く状況下、イベントの予定を立てることができないまま、10月を迎えました。
以後の日程を考えると、当日版権申請のしめ切り設定の困難さ等、さまざまな要素や状況を鑑みて慎重に検討を重ねました結果、誠に残念ながらワンダーフェスティバル2009[冬]につきましては「開催を中止せざるをえない」という結論に至りました。
参加を心待ちにし、開催日の発表をお待ちいただいていたディーラー並びに一般参加者各位には大変申し訳ないお知らせとなり、深くお詫び申し上げます。
なお、開催中止となるのはあくまでも2009[冬]であり、「ワンダーフェスティバルそのものが消滅する」ということではありません。実行委員会としましては、早期の再開に向けて尽力して参ります。
今後につきましては、状況に変化があり次第、随時ワンダーフェスティバル公式Webサイト（http://www.kaiyodo.co.jp/wf/）および模型誌の海洋堂広告ページにて発表して参ります。
(2008/10/10)
You can read the Official Announcement at Wonfest Website. News Via Sankaku Complex.
This kind of tick me off, but this can be a good lesson learnt for future event goers and planners. Hmm, maybe GSC and other companies after hearing the news might surprised us during next month AFA 2008~ ( ^ _ ^ )

Random Gunpla Facts & Figures
June 12, 2008Some nice random gunpla facts & figures ^^
Nikkei Business Online has been posting a series of discussions with Bandai Hobby Division‘s Deputy General Manager & Bandai Hobby Center chief Katsuhiko Sasaki. The second one focuses on his work as a manager and the people who support the Gunpla market.
– Development of a plamodel takes 120-150 days from design to shipping out. They plan on optimizing this to 100 days.
– The plamodel market exceeds 50 billion Yen in value.
– Said market is such that even 10-year-old products can be manufactured and sold with repeated demand. The ratio of sales for new products vs. old products is roughly 50-50.
– The people who buy Gunpla can be largely divided into two groups: 14-year-olds who purchase them because of their interest in the newest Gundam on TV and 35-year-olds who’ve been fans since First Gundam. Gunpla has been particularly sustained by the latter.

My Secret Base (Well Not Really~)
June 4, 2008I’ve decided to take some photos of my current room as of June 2008, after seeing Danny’s new “Your Room” sub-section Member’s News ^^ I just did some cleaning, so I think this is the perfect time to do this ^^ This is also a good time for those who are stil curious on how do I get all the space to display my collections ^^;
Anyway, lets start off with an overview of the room~
(Right Click on images, and choose “Open Image” for larger version)
The left side is the Figure section and the right is the Gunpla section. The space between them is where I do all my work~
A look on the Gunpla section~ The lower part is where I kept all my Nendoroid-Petits~
A look on the lower Gunpla section~ All the Nendoroids are well kept in a special display case, which makes my job much easier when cleaning them ^^ Put my Figmas there so I can play with them when I’m bored~XD
The top is some of the Gunpla boxes (Yeah, Dendrobium takes lots of space = _ = )~
My work space~ Also the space where I converted it to my “Mini-Studio” to do all the reviews ^^~ As you can see, I have 2 Desk Lamps, which are essentials for my reviews~XD
Figure sections~
My Shuraki figures which I have collected so far, lacking of Char ( > _ < ); Meifeng and Rize which reviews still pending ^^;
MG Strike Freedom -FBM- (The only perfect place to display it ^^; )
The only Manga I have collected so far~All in English (and that’s my Astraea which I still need to find the time to build on > _ < ).
All my PSP & PC games~ Also Meifeng’s and Rize’s Box which I still kept for my reviews. The rest of the figure boxes is inside the cupboard below.
More Gunpla boxes~ That’s my “1/60 Strike Freedom – Lightening Edition” on the left, which I still havent done any review on ^^; Brown box is my “Diffuser” for photoshoot lightening purposes.
Another corner of the room, where I displayed my humongous Dendrobium and Destiny -EBM-~ I just lucky to have the space ^^; Below is some of the Hobby Search boxes, which I still haven’t thrown away ^^;
Lastly, my only Nanoha Wall Scroll which I acquired from KKnM last year (It was the only item at KKnM) ^^;
I’m kind of blessed with all the display space, but as you can see, everything is in the open. So I have no choice but to clean atleast once a month. Such a hastle ( > _ < ) I’m planning to get myself a new Detolf Cabinet when I have the chance ^^
That’s about it I guess ^^ A little bit cramped, but I kind of happy with the overall layout, since it’s just perfect for me ^^
