the feral rex you mean consist of Bovis, Leo Dux, Fortis, Talon & Tigirs right?

Do you think its still available? i usually looking at x20 since its a malaysia website (i guess), but only a few combiner collection only available..

Im planning to collect at least 1 combiner complete..maybe 1-2 months for a part. within half or a year..may i can get 1 complete combiner  rclxm9.gif

Y not just wait for combiners wars takara aerialbot?? It costs less than RM500.

For 3rd party, if you looking for bruticus, then mayb can wait for boxset from warbotron... i am sure they will release whole set later... less QC problem also.

So far, I think the only 3rd party worthy of collection is Ferel Rex.

DX9 Carry is RM500 on PO. Quite painfool also...

I feel you should wait till someone doing video review then only decide to buy or not. Nowadays, those 3rd parties seem like to compete with each other... who know later Fanstoys going to release one as well...

If you don't like it you can always sell it later, because this is supposed to be very limited.

Don't bother by the word limited. After KO market come in... it just another piece of KO which everyone can get if they want. I am not encouraging KO, but I feel if anyone going to buy this, they might think why not spend less and get a KO...

1) Because KO quality is not always the same (sometimes it's the same, and in some cases it's even better (e.g. certain MP10 KO), but it often has silly mistakes like spelling errors on the Lambor KOs).

2) Because KO has less desirability and resale value, even after factoring in the lower upfront cost.

3) Because owning KO figures is like owning a fake luxury watch. You may be able to fool everyone else, but you can't fool yourself.

If a person doesn't care about any of that, then ok lah I guess KO is still an option.

I rem i saw a youtube review KO Smokescreen which the reviewer said the quality is better than TT SS. Again I am not encouraging KO.

I'm also a bit confused on how GST will affect foreign shipments.

Is it possible that it could be cheaper to ship TF from overseas (Singapore specifically) versus buying locally and paying GST?

I think we can only know when GST added to toys next month.

cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif I just receive my MP24 Starsaber.. and it got defect. So I returned to local shop dealer, but he said he cant replace a new one for me because TT will not release defect part or re-release this item. I got the refund from the nice local dealer... but I lost Starsaber!! cry.gif cry.gif

So whoever got a good Starsaber... you are dam lucky. Because I heard from local dealer, many ppl return it because having same hands. Mine is not same hand but defect chest.

Cod or postage?
Cod should check on the spot.

Postage ask seller to check before sending

That defect is hard to spot on COD. only when you transform to Starsaber you will notice.

I bought from a guy selling his MISB set on Lowyat. When we met up he had to bring them to me in a crate, haha...
The only gripe I have with him is that some of the tabs and slots are a bit tricky to align. I don't think I'll be taking him apart anytime soon. But thankfully the plastic is so good that you're rarely worried about breaking anything.

How much to get the whole set of 5 Feral Rex? I saw some selling at RM1900

I got lucky and paid slightly less than that for a set of 6 including Felisaber, but that was from a guy trimming down his collection, not from a shop.

AFAIK 1900 is the going rate right now for 5.

Personally I don't think it's necessary to get Felisaber. He's just a repaint of Tigris. And the extra weight from putting Talon on the back doesn't do anything great for the combined mode.

I kind of wanna get Felisaber only... but seem like the price ald jet up.
