With GSS round the corner, it's not difficult to get have discount brochures stuffed in your mailbox. This is yet another doodad that I acquire for 2009 from Toys'R'us @ $29.90/- Well, this toy only kept me busy for a day or so till I figure out how to go about solving it. Uses the same concept to solve a basic 3x3x3 cube. Click Here to see me solve it.
It definitely looks better un-solved, maybe to use as a Futuristic Paperweight.
For all cube puzzle fans out there, you can get this 5x5x5 cube from Action City. After clearing the 3x3x3 cube, its time to up the level. I have cleared the 4x4x4 cube, but it very seasoned to be shown here. I have checked the Internet for the solution and it will be avaliable by "Google(ing)".
This particular brand is not the original Rubik's Cube, bit it's definitely smaller, more expensive and handy to bring around. Note that this sheet does not tell you the solution to the puzzle. It only explain how to dismantle and assemble the cube.
I have wanted to buy myself a original Rubik's Cube, fed up with turning those old cubes that will only turn in one direction or the pieces keep falling out. This cost below $11. Was able to solve it, but this time trying another method, hoping to hit a better time record. Stilling trying very hard...
It time of the year to do some backing up of my data from my T43 Thinkpad and my bro's desktop. I should get my laptop for a overhaul, formating, vacuming, etc.. Got a Western Digital 2.5", 120GB hardisk. Walked around in Sim Lim Square to find a nice case from Cooler Master. This is the lite version, meaning it does not have the full set of accessories. Cost below S$30, not too expensive, no backup button, good enough for me.
Note: For those who does this on your own, please go online go register your WD hardisk. Oh, I got to admit that the photo taken are not too nice. Better to look up the official website.

Muahaha.... Finally, I found the origin of these Designer's Toy. I came upon these toys from the deviantArt website under the avatar category about a year ago. Since then, I sometimes search the Internet for these toys till now (maybe I did not try hard enough). During the time when I was in Japan, I saw people selling some look-alike ones on the streets. It seemed to have defect and some was dirty and yes you might have guessed it: I did not buy any.
It belongs to this Hong Kong based toy company Toy2R, it has over 1000 different types of design. Basically, the Qee has a body that resembles an extremely simplified human form similar in appearance to LEGO toy some of us used to play. It as a few basic characters such as head of a bear with asymmetrical ears, a cat, a dog, a monkey, a rabbit ans some other more. It comes with different sized such as 2.5-inch (standard), 1.5", 8", 16", 36", and 60" or sold as a key chain. If you want to customize with your own design, you could get a one without any design on top.
I think its a very nice collection of toys, most of the design looks good. I hope I could have some for my next birthday. Anyway, below shows some nice looking ones in my opinion. If anyone would like to buy, please scroll to the end of the blog for the link.
Enjoy some of the collections that I have selected below, for more, visit the link also found at the end of the blog.
*if any one know places that sells these, please drop me a comment. Thanks in advance.
