QUOTE(jing_kohkoh @ May 28 2014, 11:50 AM) Had been holding Evasion Prime in hand a few times when shopping, but put em back on shelf. I would say yes. I am a G1 fan.Just wonder what the reason is that evasion prime catches most ppl interest? The G1 looking alt mode?  But that makes me thinking, since that mold is so awesome, why not make it a leader class? |

QUOTE(lord_aminkin @ May 28 2014, 11:55 AM) Hahaha, I also want to start MP but still never have. The only MP I really truly genuinely interested in is MP12 Lambor because of the sexy alternate mode. Regrettably I missed the boat and the cheapest I found now is something like +RM50 from retail which I'm not willing to bear. Hopefully with the announcement of reissue next year I'll get him and probably will be the only MP I gonna own. Others MP I like but not genuinely interested, just blank wish and hope to own them because MP line is rather an expensive hobby. I don't like the idea of paying RM200 something for deluxe or RM400-500 for voyager class like figure. Of course the engineering and built quality is totally different class with normal line but still its a bit steep for me I think. Same goes to 3rd party figures. Lambor will be reissued. Keep an eye out for that. But you can never compare MP line with normal line. You can always find them abundance after the hype died off especially if you live far south of the region. FOC grimlock kickback, Generations Sandstorm, cosmos still can be found lying around somewhere. I guess the advantage living here, while the new wave is really slow coming here but there's always stock for the most sought after and you no need to kancheong to buy them quickly. Just take your time target only what you really interested in and wait for them to go on sales. Normally I'd wait for Christmas or end of the year sales. Mostly stores in SG offering a huge cut prices or maybe some sales in AEON.   |

QUOTE(g-go @ May 28 2014, 11:18 AM) goreng till hangus pun kalau x dak orang nak beli, apa guna. we can see some put price kaw-kaw gila and they said it is market/current price la, rare la, VHTF la, last piece la tapi after 4-5 month that item x dak pun orang beli. banyak example dalam mudah.com. item scalp gila2, tapi mana ada org beli. keep searching, now got sooooooo many source u can hunting for TF. u got Forum, FB, mudah, ebay, onlineshop, toyshop. No need to feed that scalper please QUOTE(cycheah @ May 28 2014, 11:23 AM) tnsai Lol I'm not trying to feed scalper. The rm 400 price I got is actually from a toy store. I've actually been searching on forums and visited a few different toy stores. Today alone I've been to MV, Amcorp and also BTS. Also cannot find what I'm looking for. I've also checked on forums etc and so far got one guy who msg'd me directly that he can let it go for rm 350. I don't think he is a scalper, because I see him post quite regularly on the forums but he based his price on what he see in the market. So if I buy from him, am I considered feeding the scalper? that's the only way to find reasonable price... none of us will agree to feed scalpers  Honestly, who don't want to buy some stuff at "retail" price. Keep in mind I only joined back this hobby in Dec 2013. There are a lot of stuff I missed out on. For example I wanted to get United Drift. I saw it at Famitoy at rm 140 (i didn't buy), anywhere I look the price is higher than that or lower than that but not MOSC or USED or missing stuff.. If I buy that from Famitoy, is that also considered feeding the scalper? I honestly just want to get more Primes for my collection and I'm not those that have to buy every single deluxe/legends/voyager that is out, so money not spent buying those for me is money used to buy something I really want. p/s : I curious about something, if someone keep their stuff MOSC, they are not selling it now, if one day they decide to sell it, has anybody seen the situation where the price was same as retail or lower? (Not talking about super common shelf warmers la).. Take TFA blackout for example, that one I lucky found at a comic store at the back of the shelf at rm 109. How often does that happen ?

I've seen a LOT of MP Bluestreak and Smokescreen at VHobby MV, sold close to the early release price (I think I bought mine for RM170, VHobby selling at RM190). I guess the Nissan Fairlady line is not selling as strong as the Lamborghini Countach

How often does that happen ? and yeah that optimus prime is a must have n that color is irresistible... comparing un01 with hasbro its like comparing heaven n hell... for my personal opinion i will buy it if i were u... do some survey then only decide... u do not really have to hunt in kl shopping mall anymore cos i have already done that (fail)... as for the scalper, we cant do anything because this is life... people will try to earn money if there is chances... i see there is a lot of people saying do not feed the scalper but what can we do if we really want the figure... buy earlier? what if we just start this hobby recently? so if i want takara tomy buster optimus prime, can anyone volunteer to sell me one (misb) at rm279(retail price)??? i dont think i can get anything below rm550... and yeah last time i preorder my mp12 lambor at rm140 and takara is going to reissue it next year (and yeah i just place a preorder this noon) pricing it at rm180 preorder... so does this count as scalping??? Lol... buy anything as long as you can afford it and happy  |
