lol come to think of it, every TF that appeared in the movie is rare now, but if you order from shops, 100% you'll get what you want, not rare like Black leo convoy and gang, cannot even order. TFTM scorponok, doesn't even have a robot mode lol, compared o Superlink's triple changer sweat.gif
*
Yeah, 100% sure get but pricing wise, it would be a killer... Rare ones of coz definitely hard to get loh...

TFTM Scorponok's design is nice, but that's about it... biggrin.gif

OK a quick update to those still looking for re-issue MP-05. I called up Lenny from glory Toys and she says that she too is getting a batch next week. Pricing wise, she still uncertain as she will quote once she has the stock. From experience Lenny's prices are competitive. So for those still looking and did not pre-order with TW, here's your chance at Endah Parade.

I must say, Endah Parade is a very dodgy place, this place has more massage parlours than anywhere else put together. I was walking there alone one time looking for Glory Toys and this dude came up to me and asked if I was looking for some China girls... so be careful ya. brows.gif

Yea man, but with the amount they burn ppl, it is really unreasonable and hope they will suffer when no more stocks are in production. Let them hold kau kau. Every time I look at Area 51, they remind me of a squirrel storing nuts for winter. Hopefully their nuts will expire! whistling.gif

It's still pretty amazing that TFTM toys were so popular till X'mas, considering the show came out in mid-year.
*
Hehehehe, that reminds me of Scrat, the prehistoric squirrel from Ice Age... laugh.gif

Yeah, TFTM has made a very strong impact in the toy industry...

That would be good but in reality, this is what will happen...

When they close shop, other scalpers will rush to these shops to sapu all the stocks... We, collectors won't stand a chance wan... sad.gif

QUOTE(future80 @ Jan 2 2008, 12:50 PM)
one of yours can open a toy shop, and sell toy at reasonable price, no matter outside there goreng price, yo shop keep sell at market reasonale price for collectors.
one thing here, how to different collector & scalper? scalper may come & 'act' as collector.
*
That's the problem, it's extremely difficult to differentiate a collector and a scalper...

Take the famous Tulangman for example, he's a collector and he's also a self-confessed scalper... sweat.gif

He doesn't own a shop, dude... He always hang out at Toy Workers, that's why a lot of people thought that he's James' business partner...

then tis persatuan will help us buy cheap tf...
then we need wait news n pay money 2 preorder cheap tf...

Actually Arcee is not considered as a scout class. The label said Deluxe, same price as BB08 and the rest. Scout class retails at RM 39.90, e.g. would be Elita One.

Pretty hard time to be looking for Scout classes, there were plenty during the few weeks before X'mas. Try your luck at Metrojaya. They seem to be having the most stock at the moment. TRU and JJ are dry.

Dude, there's actually a Scout Class Arcee, I got it also...

I also read in play forum and saw someone having a white color motorbike arcee scout class and it is not a redeco.

I think one of you is having a black deluxe arcee, right? How much is it? I am interested. Is it a latest hasbro item? or an old item? Or someone painted it black?

You can try Mid Valley Carrefour, they may have some Scout Class Arcees left...

for getting tf at RP, persatuan also wont do zilch ler...
then the scalper join the persatuan, get em at our price and goreng em outside...
u c bro, no persatuan also they got connection one...
we do this, it'll happen in a very discreet way,in front of our eyes...
they can act as if they taking things on behalf of their fren....
true collector may buy max 3 units of TF, one for misb, one for open display and another one for sell but not to make quick bucks lar...
most prolly RP+duit kopi only...
scalper, borong like there's no tomorrow....
anyway also, sometimes we win and they lose, most of the time they win, we lose...
and we and them draw when no more stock, kemarau kering kontang coz they sapu too much of somebody else sape earlier than them..
*
Yeah, true... There's no way scalpers can be completely eliminated...

This is one of the downsides of having a free world economy... There's virtually no control over the trading of goods as long as they are not weapons of destruction...
