Yea. Hopefully there will be a restock soon. My frens tell me that christmas is really grand here and the shops will be having huge sales. SO i guess restock is on its way. Ohya once i saw 5 BB08's on the shelves of sainsbury (its like carrefour) retailing at 10 pounds each (around rm70). THe next week i went there was only a bonechrusher left  sweat.gif
There's one near Oxford St??? I though ppl only go there for clothing??? Any landmarks u can recall?

Hmmm, even Europe also lack of stocks... shakehead.gif

forget liao....

but i do know that diff locations in the UK will have diff stuff for sale.  for e.g. i was in Leeds a couple of years back, and London, and it's like 2 diff places!  all the stuff sold also different one (toys, kits, etc) so it's like if you don't get it in Leeds, don't bother looking for it in London....

Hmmm, Coventry has a pretty big toy shop called Barnby's (Midland Toys), going in there is like going to Disneyland for me... wub.gif

Yea true true. And oxford St is such a busy area. I also noticed that the BB08 box art is slightly different. If i remember correctly there is a picture of BB08 posing next to his head boxart picture below the bubble. Midland toys.... hmm... is it in oxford st? I think i will pop by one day to check things out there  cool2.gif

No more BB08 in TRU MV. I just went. Aihhh

I have been searching high and low for one for a few months now and I am honestly sick and tired of it. So if anyone of you ever stumble into some new restock and just so happen got BB08 there I would greatly appreciate it if you could get one for me. I will give you RM10 for the time and trouble.

Due to my job, I cannot go visit TRU everyday or even if I know they are restocking I might not be able to make it as my job is usually non-stop from early morning to late night. And the scalpers will always beat me to it.

The promotor told me that those new stocks gone within minutes, yes MINUTES not hours. Before the toys even reach the shelves these people already standby there to grab everything.

So, help out a fellow TF collector here, help me complete this picture. I will  be forever grateful.

I have no intention of paying scalper price for something mass produced.

The thing with TFTM toys these days is that scalpers somehow knows when TRU will be restocking and will already be waiting there to grab all the popular ones. So by the time the casual consumers found out, all will be gone liao. They just restocked yesterday and today all gone liao.

Never have I seen a toy sold so fast before.
*
Well, scalpers probably have a team of "scouts" scouting those places, or maybe they get info from insiders loh...
