Seen @ Gunpla Expo World Tour Singapore @ Compass Point (Nov 15-27)
Seen at the Gunpla Expo World Tour currently on at Compass Point in Seng Kang, Singapore, the ground floor central atrium is filled with all-things Gundam, courtesy of Bandai (and in turn Sheng Tai Toys, distributor of Bandai here).

The show sees a predominate display of their Gundam-product line - including their new Gundam Age series - and submissions from the Gunpla Builders World Cup (GBWC 2011) in both Open and Junior Categories, as well as a swell two displays of BEARGUY - their mecha-bear cutesy robot form (which I have a sudden love for now lol). Not as extravagant as their previous two shows, but still a hearty time to be had on a Friday afternoon.
I was recommended to drop by on a weekend, as there would be quite an amount of activities for fans and folks (but alas I have no chaperone on the weekend :p). Check out the dedicated event website at www.gundam-singapore.com for list of activities and schedules.

The "Brave Battle Warriors" set-up was a humbler-affair this year, with a single dioramic-booth showcasing the figures, but what a build indeed! Would be cool if I had a decent zoom on the camera tho - the layout display would make for swell depth of field without possibly seeing the rest of the background of real-life-display booths lol
Of course there were "toy exclusives galore" (for which I was told mostly were snapped up during shown launch - expect the weekend to be pandemonium tho :p). And of course the ONLY figure which I wanted to score (and could afford) HAD to be 'Sold Out'! But I was informed promptly that the Pink Bearguy would be restocked over the weekend :) … but alas I would not be physically there to snag one :/ … I am denied my Bearguy!
Shown above is the lucky draw prize that could be yours when you are assigned a ticket with purchases over SGD$50 worth, with a daily drawing at 5pm. 1 x Mirror Finish Giant Ryubi Gundam to be won each day until November 26th = Looks shiny-cool to me!
