hehe, there's no need for any saluting whatsoever. Sure, can go TT some day.

Yups, in my room. lol, nope, it's not that big. So so only. I do have prob with dust but I clean them quite often when I am NBTD.

Hehe, sure. I buy from a few shops. ShiokToys, Graffiti Toys, DC, and XL. I got most of my figs from forums and ebay actually.

hehe, ic.

try play.com.my or xl forum.

hehe, it does look good. I'm assuming you've got Dragons 2 already then.

Oh, ic. Hehe, you don't have to buy every series that McF produce. Just stick to a line that you really like only.

Well, that's business for you.

sweet.

great to hear that. You'll have lots of fun building it.

And did I mention the cursing also?

1.
MIB= Mint in Box.
BIB= Back in Box.
MISB= Mint in Sealed Box.
MOSC= Mint on Sealed Card.
MOC= Mint on Card.

Generally, TF fans define MIB as a toy that has been taken out and replaced back into the box in mint condition while MISB is totally sealed and never opened before.

As for card, once it is opened and can't be resealed back. Therefore it is safe to say that MOSC= MOC.

2. One thing is the price. The 2nd is the language. Thirdly, US carded generally has better paint job since they're the first batch of figures to be released. Fourthly, there maybe physical variants, such as colour, head sculpt, accessories etc etc.

3. You can never stop learning about figures. You try asking, and I'll try my best to answer you.

The Hellspawn can be obtained for about RM70 for a Tri but the i.095 will be at least RM80 and above for a Tri and depending on condition as it is quite sought after.

Technically carded figures are figures that have a paper/cardboard back as can be seen in the earlier McFarlnae figures.

Nowadays, most companies tend to just have a card insert sealed in a plastic clamshell but it is still referred to as carded figures. The reason being, it won't deform as easily as cardboard and therefore easier to store.

It varies. If you buy a set, it will usually be RM50 for one 6" figure. As for 12", it used to be RM150 but currently it is around RM120.

lol, i work part time plus trade online to support my hobby.

Cheap models, as in Gundam model kits?

I think the same way as you do too. But some figures are super rare and expensive, so collectors will only display it in the box since they can't bring themselves to open it.

Some ppl do get kicks out of looking at them in mint condition or they simply have no place to display and is scared that it might turn yellowish (translucent figures) or collect dust.

I actually have a friend who absolutely has not opened one of his TF reissue from the first one till now (and believe me, it's C8 & above for each and every box). If he wants to open it, he'll buy an extra one like the recent Galvatron reissue. That's what I call rich.

But the worst lot of them all, has to be those scalpers.

lol, cheap? Everywhere is more or less the same price. At most also the difference is RM5 for one figure if you buy in a set.

Gundams? Try DC.

Scalpers are people who buy figures (or any items for that matter) to make quick small profits or worse, to resell at greatly increased prices.

There's plenty in K.L and on eBay too.

hehe, of course not. You can make a profit depending on the popularity and the market price bro.

Hehe, becos it is hard to get.

If you're planning to get rid of it, do pm me then.

SWEETNESS!

Well, one man's junk is another man's treasure.

Most shops do not have them anymore.

aiseh, why I tak boleh qualify? You wet blanket.

me!! The first series was great but the second was a let down. Even though it is more detailed that the first one, they've shrunk in size.

Plus they look more 'lizardish' than a dragon. The box set is out already I heard.
