Huney'Z World: Skywalker

Hi Huneybees,

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

This is the famous opening of the Star Wars saga, which tells of the war between the Dark and Light Side, had garnered a world wide fan base since the first STAR WARS movie hit our cinemas 38 years ago.

Nearly four decades later, anticipation is still growing higher as the second ticks away, as we are just a month away to a whole new sequel trilogy, starting with Star Wars VII - The Force Awakens that is scheduled to be launched in December 2015.

Hardcore Star Wars fans like hubby and me, since many months ago, have set up our radars to sweep up all lightsaber-worthy SW collectibles out there. If you think Star Wars T-shirts, figurines and posters are too ordinary, be sure to sit tight as we show Huneybees the Royal Selangor X STAR WARS collection!

The collection features our favourite characters - Darth Vadar, Yoda, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Boba Fett and Stormtrooper, intricately made from pewter, so that all Huneybees could relive the scenes from the STAR WARS saga as though all of us were riding in the Millennium Falcon through space with the heroes!

Every piece has gone through several rounds of scrutiny, as Lucasfilms / Disney wanted the final products to be exact replica of what you have seen in the films. Details right down to the expressions, the posture, even down to the weapons were all nicely fitted into these scaled collectibles. True SW Fans can be picky you know...

The infamous Sith Lord Dark Vader Limited Edition Figurine is the undisputed favorite among the crowd

Here are some ideas no how you could display this 23.5cm tall Pewter Darth Vader Figurine after you purchased it =)

It's rare to see Yoda (standing 12.5cm tall) in fighting posture carrying his lightsaber

A returning character - Han Solo - for the new Star Wars film - The Force Awarkens

The Limited Edition Han Solo Pewter Figurine stands 21cm tall

The detail on the sexy Princess Leia in slave costume figurine was very intricate

Boba Fett is the No.1 Bounty Hunter in Star wars Universe

Trying to recreate a scene here: Boba Fett with his bounty - Han Solo in Carbonite

The highlight of the collection is a diorama which captures the monstrous Rancor in its pit raring to attack Luke Skywalker - a classic scene from the Return Of The Jedi. This set in my opinion this really for the true diehard Star Wars fans (with deep pockets) should get hold of as I am very impressed by the attention paid to the interior setting of the pit itself, which is something many people tends to overlook.

A limited edition, with only 500 pieces to be ever made, this certainly is the piece for any owner to brag about!!

For the rest of us who wanted to own a piece of the fine craftsmanship of this Royal Selangor X Star Wars collaboration, there are other collectibles in this Star Wars collection that I would recommend.

Top on the list is the Snowspeeder and Millennium Falcon shaped USB flash drives that Huneybees could carry around but do remember to unplug it from your friend's USB port when you are done using it as the temptation from the Dark Side would be strong!

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for your husband, boyfriend, or even a colleague, the Star Wars cufflinks - comes in either the Imperial or Rebel design, is a definitely the perfect choice to stand out from the rest.

Mugs and tumblers are another good choice to pamper yourself or as a gift if you wish to impress.
In this collection, however, mugs come only in Dark Vader and C3-PO mask designs while mask if Stormtrooper and Boba Fett are available only in tumbler.

Amongst all collectibles from this Royal Selangor X Star Wars collection, I found the Death Star trinket box very interesting! Not only because of its design as a trinket box but also its usable size of 10cm diameter by 9.5cm in height which could allow me to store decent amount of ear rings, necklace and other small accessories.

The first of its kind Royal Selangor x Star Wars eye-catching pop-up store in Singapore, itis located at Suntec City Mall and is opened to public from 13th to 22nd November. Do remember to catch the lif-size replica of Han Solo in Carbonite, which is unfortunately NOT-FOR-SALES.

Your only chance to catch the life-sized replica of Han Solo in Carbonite at the pop-up store in Suntec City

Understood from the good people at Royal Selangor that there will be more waves of Star Wars collectibles to be introduced in the near future and I really hope to see R2D2 as well as the new Star Wars characters like Kylo Ren in the next wave of Royal Selangor X STAR WARS collection.

May the force be with you =)

Hi Huneybees,

Last weekend, Hubby and I went to LEGOLAND Malaysia for their LEGO Star Wars Day. Being hardcore Star Wars fans (you should see the collection we have at home), how can we miss it?!

Let us in!!!

The weather was warm, but I knew I had to wear my Empire Strikes Back T-shirt. See the Force was strong with me! The moment I stepped into Legoland, a Clone Trooper already came and greeted me! Excitement! Now, where's my Skywalker???

There were several events happening on that day and one of them was the LEGO Star Wars Mystery mural. Once we register, we were asked to choose a square base where we work on it, piecing the right coloured LEGO bricks on the board and return back to the staff.

What happens is that every little square is place on this huge mural board where it will be completed to show a mystery picture and from here, it seems like a Yoda is coming up. Wonder how to full picture looked like? When I left it was like 80% completed only...

Actually, the reason for LEGO Star Wars Day is because there's a new addition to the MINILAND. There's been a new gateway to the parallel universe and there housed the first ever LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star Model.

It is built by the LEGO Master Model Builders from LEGOLAND using more than 750,000 LEGO bricks and 10,000 special glow-in-the-dark tiles, weighing about 800kg and measuring 2m wides, 6m tall. This is the first time a LEGO Death Star model of this scale has been constructed, making it the largest in the world!!!

Hubby and I even got the chance to pose under the Death Star with some Star Wars cosplayers!

Under the Death Star are also some LEGO created Star Wars classic scenes. How I wish, I'm LEGO sized, so that I can fit into those fighters and enjoy my JEDI moments! Here is the Death Star Trench Run scene, where you can find Luke's X-Wing being pursued by TIE Fighters whilst he tries to blow up the Death Star.

Here's the interesting one where Luke and Han Solo attempted to save Princess Leia and got trapped in a garbage dump whilst escaping. The walls are closing in, the creature is attacking, can C3P0 and R2D2 save them???

There's also the scene where Darth Vadar fought against Obi-Wan Kenobi, when Obi shut down the Death Star's Tractor Beam. The model really fights once the button next to it is pressed. *Reliving Star Wars moment....

These 2 scenes were taken from the part where Princess Leia went to Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin telling them the location of the Rebel's base in the hope of saving Alderaan. And the next is the Imperial Troopers in the control room of Death Star's superlaser.

The last one has got to be the classic of all classic Star Wars scene. The one where Darth reveals to Luke that he is his father. Luke refuses to turn to the Dark Side and The Emperor has been electric shocking him to torture him...

Ok! Off to the next location. Wana see some LIVE Jedi action? Come join me at the LEGO City Stage!

Not only was there some Jedi and Sith fighting scenes, some young Padwan-s were chosen to practice on the spot and fend off Sith-s themselves. Check out these 3 boys that came in their own uniforms! Aren't they some handsome Jedi-s?

Thank you Young Padwan-s for saving us!

Another activity was to build us some huge models of Darth Vader and R2D2. It takes a long time a whole village to finish them up. but it was fun to be playing with kids and snapping pictures in the air conditioned rooms...

That's some heavy weight lifting!

Last but not least, we headed into LEGO Studio to catch a animation called The Empire Strikes Out. It was adorable and some modern jokes where injected into the film. Kids were all tickled pink and after which, we went to the temporary retail store to check out some LEGO Star Wars products....

Which ones have you got?

And since we were there, we caught up with some new additions to LEGOLAND Malaysia as well as some rides that we missed the other time.

The new Ribena mascot!

This is the Dino Island ride. The other time we came, it was closed for maintenance and now we finally got the chance! It's a scary ride where you end up totally wet when the canoe falls from a height!

Wana see more of the rides in LEGOLAND? Check out my blog post here.
