Ring ring ring goes the telephone ... oh which one?

Ah my love! Astro boy. So it was more shopping for me and a new mobile (cell) phone. One of my dear friends was perusing the PC Home online shopping thingy (which he does frequently, online shopping Queen!), when he discovered the OKWAP Astroboy mobile phone. In an instant my MSN was flashing and after seconds of thought, perhaps only one, I had confirmed my strong desire to add this little thing of beauty to my ever growing collection of Astroboy related things.

I am puzzled by myself, why a man of my age is so fixated by a robot boy, the obsessed is a little too strong, I don't have every piece of junk generated by the marketing moguls with the Astroboy brand, just a selection. To some extent I think it is just an escape, having to be all grown up 24 hours a day 7 days week, week in, week out all gets a bit much. So in my apartment there is a small space filled with Astroboy that reminds me of a childhood past and that even as an adult things don't always have to be serious.
Now if anyone spots anything interesting or usual with Astroboy on it, let me now! I am still in the process of planning my trip to Japan to the famous Astroboy museum, but I need to save enough to buy the whole store I guess, it will be along shopping trip ... and no doubt my face will light up once again like it did when I was a 12 year old in short pants!
