The first thing that I asked myself &#8220;Did I buy any new toy?!!!&#8221; &#8230; and I knew for (damn) sure I didn&#8217;t. So what on earth is that suspicious looking box for? Taking a closer look, I then realised that it&#8217;s from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourcornerstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">FourCornerStore<\/a>. It&#8217;s a new online toy camera store run by Nic from the cool toy camera website\/blog with the same name. Check out the website\/blog <a href=\"http:\/\/nicnichols.com\/FourCornersDark\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Opening up the box gave me another surprise. The packaging! Most online stores I&#8217;ve bought from will pack the goodies in simple plain wrappers etc but these stuffs Nic sent me were very nicely packaged. There was pack of 120 films as well as a green toy-like camera with brands like Knorr, Skippy and Lipton on it. Cool!!! The film came in a cute brown paper bag with some pretty retro print (see below) and the camera came in a soft thin cloth bag with the Four Corner Store logo as well as a &#8216;Limited edition : 12\/100&#8217; printed below.

Checking the postal rate &#8230; it costs him about US$11 just to send these to me for free. Hmm &#8230; he should have just used regular post which maybe is cheaper. Now I feel so bad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Haha. Hmm &#8230; wonder if he&#8217;ll send me a Leica if I agree to contribute a review\/article every single day for a year. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do check out his online store for more goodies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fourcornerstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pretty surprised when the postman arrived with a small parcel at my office today.
