Gears of War The Board Game - Unboxing

After been searching all over the place for this item, finally i got myself a Gears of War The Board Game. I found this board game by co-incidence when visited the Citta Mall, a new shopping mall located at Ara Damansara. Lucky for me, the Times Bookstore bring this board game to their store. The pocket damage was MYR 255.00. Cost me cheaper than buying from Ebay or Amazon.com. Here are some of the unboxing pictures:

Marty McFly's Back to the Future Shoes

It’s a shoe by NIKE, based on the movies of Back to the Future II who’s famous at the back of 1989. This story ccontinuing where Back to the Future I left off, Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown use the DeLorean time machine to travel to 2015. While there, Biff Tannen steals the DeLorean to travel back to give his teenage self a sports almanac, creating an alternative, dystopian 1985. McFly and Doc are forced to travel to 1955 to repair the timeline. Back to the Future Part II was released in the United States on November 22, 1989 (thanks to Wikipedia). This movie is phenomenon that year. Up until now, I believe no one (born around 1980’s and 90’s) grown up without watching this movie (shame if u don’t………..)

A total of 1,500 pairs of the new Nike Mag shoes will be made and put up for auction on eBay, with proceeds being donated to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research. The auction ended on 18^th September 2011. I love how the packaging looks. Nice box though and it feels classy and mystery… Here are the trailers
