I finally bought my E-11 Blaster from Star Sports (apparently they're also called Great Toys) last Wednesday. Wasn't able to buy it on Tuesday 'cos I left work a little later than expected but as soon as I woke up on Wednesday, I got up and went to Festival Mall to buy it. I think I was their first customer. Went I got inside I immediately went to the shelf where the toy blaster was placed. For a moment, I thought that it was gone 'cos I couldn't find it. It turned out that it was just placed the other way so I didn't recognize the box art. When I found it, I picked it up and went straight to the counter. It cost me P1,200 which I'm very happy with. I didn't think it was going to be that cheap and actually thought it would be around P3,000.
Now I'm in the process of getting myself a resin upgrade kit so I can convert the toy blaster into a movie accurate one. I'm also going to be needing to buy a couple of things from the hardware store like Plastic Weld, clamps, spray paint, sandpaper, "bondo", and some tools that I can't borrow from my dad. I'll be following this guide by Hot Buttered Funk, another 501st member, to build my blaster.
When I get all the materials and start working on my blaster I'll post some pics of the step-by-step. I hope I can get the resin kit and the materials soon. I'm really excited to start this.

ReplyDeleteHi Jeff. Thanks for visiting the blog. I'm very excited to get my armor kits ordered and my build started. I'm still trying to find the right materials like Velcro, glue, paint, etc. It's kind of difficult to source them locally. Will surely keep in touch. Very excited as well to meet all the Philippine Outpost members.
