Hi Odinn,
Im upset with Rm61 price placed by TRU but I also dun want to offend bro darkshadow or others who have purchased them at those prices.
Rm 61 price is within the range of 6inch category.
Does that mean that with chinese labels and TRU Exclusive labels, TRU Msia can price them as they like? Previously on enquiries on other products, their Customer Service told me that they would only bring in products which are:
1) greatly demanded by customers
2) not offered by local distributor
3) resonably priced for respective catergory (meaning Msia dun favor Special Edition or Limited to TRU stuff)
I smell something fishy going on within TRU Msia. Why offer products which would be priced higher than usual retail price? Thundercats at RM46.90 oreldi at high side. Same goes for MIB figures.
Boys dept purchasing/ ordering by a specific person (Mr A). Didnt they do market survey and feasiblity study before considering bringin in that particular merchandise?
General math: RM 61 - RM 42.90 = RM 18.10
TRU like any customer would fully pay their supplier/ distributor. But not surprisingly if distributor reimburse Mr A for his/ her orders.
Sorry to sidetrack from Gi Joe toys discussion. Right now Im sticking to looking for those figures of previous series from ebay US.

The figs are being sold average for USD10 for single cards. Here they're selling at 6 times the price. Of course people would say can't do direct conversion to compare prices. But 6 times difference, that is ridiculous to me and I won't be buying locally until it goes on clearance..

Added on May 31, 2012, 12:17 pmThe vehicle figs totally sux .Limited articulation and inflated prices just ruins the pleasure and desire of buying and owning them.
POC Hiss Tanks cost RM90.I managed to get one for RM80.At least the driver has full articulation.
Just found out that Wave 2 onwards had been delayed to March 2013.
Best stick to POC and 30th Anni figs huh. I'm looking out for POC and 30th HISS tanks..probably get a couple more. The movie's HISS can go to clearance. And all the other vehicles for that matter....
