Ok. is it because UN-4 price is supposed to be very low?

Because you mentioned everywhere selling rm 200 for UN-01(or even the Hasbro 1)

So rm 400 for the set I thought was ok hehe but I guess megatron is pretty crappy ?

ahh ok.. ughh now feeling poisoned... but rn400 for two deluxes,,,

bleh.. everything is in chinese haha. Going to ask my friends to check for me later..

Banana haha i can speak fluent cantonese, but cannot read

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?

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 ?

Thanks, I might check out USJ summit one day. Only place I haven't been in the area.

IT Toys.. since the early days when they were in MidValley also known for being scalpers.

In BTS I like that shop opened by a LYN forum here.. ps3transformer09. His prices are generally pretty reasonable.


Another factor for me is sometimes I just don't have the time to go hunting all over. As you know some of these shops also sometimes don't really follow their operating hours, especially when you only have free time to hunt during lunch hour. Understandable as many of these shops are self-owned and open at malls that don't enforce opening hours etc. But it is sometimes incredibly frustrating to go somewhere to hunt and then that store never open. Some also have poor communication where they don't take calls or don't reply SMSes.

So to be honest, I know some people get the thrill out of going to a store, seeing something nice and unexpected as they go out hunting. For me not so much as in general I seldom go shopping. When I set out to shop, I already know what I want and I guess you can say "head there with a purpose". Like yesterday, go hunting those 3 places, end up with nothing.. so sien =_=.. lucky after work when at tesco buying milk powder managed to snag a Beas Hunter Prime that I was looking for hehe.

Actually thanks for your general advice, I wasn't offended till being called a "scalper feeder", not even to kien kienn's "sui yu" remark hehe. For me rm400 was OP and I was just wondering if it was an ok price since I saw on Ebay those 2 deluxes prices are quite high. Now there is a reputable private collector from TransMY that is offering me at a lower price and just waiting to deal.

It is not my intention ot "spoil the market".

Managed to get this from Ben (ps3transformer09)




Box was opened for display but not transformed, nor twirlies removed.

Rm200

and UN-22 for rm 100 ... now if only the tg-01 and UN-01 deals close.. then the newer prime collection can consider settled..

That's why Ah Soon from 1 Toy told me he is not bringing in Strafe and some others yet. They are waiting for the Takara versions of those to come out (after th emovie apparently) because the new hasbro price make it more worth while to get from Takara...

- FanToys have proven themselves with Quakwave, Gigapower is new so for now no comparison
- Not out yet, been delayed a couple of times. Last I heard from X2oToys, earliest is in a month.. pricing is rm 430-ish

Bro, just so you don't get your hopes too high up on Galvatron.. the actual product looks nothing like in the picture.

Isn't that the retail price now for leader class (around there). Furthermore given the quality of the so called "leader class" this time. I doubt anybody will scalp them. (successfully)

Try 1Utama AEON .. during the toy fair last week they had a good number of hound remaining.. even now no fair, maybe insdide the store might have some.

good luck

Boss you got any word from Jerryn when Scoria coming ? I preordered mine elsewhere for this hehe.. no word yet from mine (Vhobby)

Haha not desperate.. In fact for me, the later the better lol, every month I add some money to my preorders so don't have to one shot pay for everything if suddenly all my preordes ship together lol. Just curious because Scoria initial release was supposed to be like in February, up till now all retailers no info. Want to see whether x2o got any news or not but since this item I did not get from them paiseh to ask the boss hehe.

vhobby 1u had it the last time i was there

Anybody know where I can find/letting go Galaxy Convoy ? Takara version.

SO far I've seen the Takara Exclusive 3-pack (Galaxy Convoy, LeoBreaker and Wing Saber) at 2 different toy stores go for about rm 1200 MISB. I'm not too keen on the two other bots, so I'm really looking just for Galaxy Convoy by itself..

Hmm found a source for Galaxy Convoy and cheap.. Now moving back ..

Anybody know where I can find Armada Optimus Prime Huhuhu... bib preferrably.. cannot afford misb

I Po also from those stores mentioned, usually because sometimes i'm in the area... feel tempted then PO from nearest store. I also PO from X2OToys.com. The owner is very responsive on FB and will help you with any questions you have

yeah. I was about to buy from him (even though I did not want the add-ons) but i found someone else offering the Optimus only at a cheaper price for MIB. Hehe I actually ask 3 different buyers ... few days no reply.. but all on the same day tell me the item available, or previous reserve ffk etc etc.. Very strange day lol.

looks like takara is the one you want to go for (same for me)
