Kedai bodoh atau pandai ?
Went scouting at Jusco.
I saw 4x Nw optimus prime.  rm 189.90 each

1 x barricade movie screen battle.  rm 79.90 each

1 x longarm movie screen battle. rm 79.90 each.
I wasn't interested in a duplicate OP mold, nor am I interested to pay 30 ringgit more for stupid packaging and worthless non-tf accessories, especially a crippled barricade.
Next day came back, saw all the diorama units gone and so was the NW op.
I suspected the culprit, so I went over to check out this scalper toy shop called GameBox.
Lo and Behold, there're the NW op ready to be put up at retail, and the paint job impurities are identical to the units in Jusco where i spotted.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, as I found that even at retail price, the diorama units are expensive at 79.90
Almost everyone else on ebay are selling at retail price too because I am sure they knew that these are already damn expensive without scalping and aren't wanted much.

Those gamebox jokers are selling the diorama units at 129.90 each after scalping from Jusco.

For NW, over 200 ringgit of course, and this NW has poor paint job and is only a repaint.

I don't know whether to commend or pity them for their decision to scalp such unhot items. *LOL*

Damn, looks like I have new competition when I scout for new toys soon, have to compete with the retail scalpers who setup shop in the plaza itself.

I am going to make sure I beat them at Transformers animated this year.

Actually I was talking about the Barricade first encounter set.

From what I read, there's 2 frenzy inside. 1 is the diorama non-tf unit.

THe other is the one in the chest, but this one is unpainted and screwed/locked into the chest, therefore, crippled.

The thing is you're being made to pay 30 ringgit more than retail just for the packaging and the useless accessories. Add to that, the dungus at GameBox topped up another 50 ringgit to bring the total to 129.90

The longarm diorama only has some paintjob changes and mikaela in driver seat, and a non-transformable 'crippled' bumblebee, even then, these are NOT worth an addition 30 ringgit at retail.

It's a matter of these scalper shops will scalp everything they could get their hands on. I am spreading their name in this forum so that you people from JB would know and boycott gamebox, do not buy from them because you could easily get it from jusco and their stocks are mostly from jusco anyway, they deprived you of retail price, so you deprive them of any sales, don't buy from GameBox Jusco tebrau JB.

They have another branch at skudai at the Danga Bay area.

Don't buy from these guys.
