This damn toy gave me sooo much headache since June...coz i bought the "spare parts"...and couldnt get hold of the machine in the whole of China!!! The machine was supposed to come too (from Guangzhou)...but there were too many hiccups. Alas, i was stuck with an entire box of spare parts!!! It was such a big carton box placed at my main door that i had to chuck them somewhere out of sight so that it'll be out of mind.

Finally! More than 3 months later, i've managed to get hold of THE MACHINE last Saturday. Yeah! Time to make some pins! ;D

You can take a look at this toys website which really caught my interest (from one of Joel's toy packaging)...i just knew i have to get it! FYI, it's actually discontinued coz someone else took over the company. Anyway, my headaches are history.

P.S. This toy is really jinxed - even during delivery. Coz we were out when the delivery man came by the house...he called me and delivered it to the restaurant where we were having lunch! And he wanted to check my ID to make sure that my address is correct (even though he had called my cellphone)!!! I told him that i'm a foreigner and doesnt have anything to prove that i'm staying where i'm staying. Anyway, i had to lug a big box (no plastic bag) around...but i'm happy to have finally found it! Keke...
