May 2008 bring better hauls, more varieties, more options to get our Tfs, well done prices and DEATH TO ALL SCALPERS!!!

Bring on 2008!!

The gundam stand can be used for a lot of figures, like

Blackout


Jetfire



Even with somthing as heavy as Megatron

so many voyager and leader primes!!!!!

I think this shop kena kau kau now that robovision prime is flooding the market and no one sees the difference between takara and hasbro prime (if there are any differences at all). Owned!!!

Even GT at BTS is selling robovision prime at RM 120 last time I was there!

Keep an eye out for cheap sale Oh wait, already have leader prime

any other TF on sale?

the BB08 Op twin pack?
masterpieces?
BB08 and Barricade at Well done prices?

What the

Really Takala version like that imagine paying RM 250 for it instead of RM 189.90, rugi like hell man!!

Luckily my Takara Movie OP was in good condition. Cannot imagine a bot meant for the japanese market having this defect! I saw a few NW OP in Japan, luckily not interested in NW OP

I think they PAINTED OP's eyes in this case . Like my Rescue Ratchet, the eyes are painted so if you shine a light from behind no light goes through!

let's REMP-IT TONIGHT!!!



OP: Gunalah motosikal Arcee yg berkuasa tinggi! Ia pilihan SAYA!!

Was at ToyWorkers today, accompany my friend to buy the Last Stand and 1st Contact movie screens. Was there around 12-30 to 1-30. Must buy both and both cost RM 150. Other items there:-

1) Berlambak Hasbro NW OP, with some Leader Megatron
2) Got 2 BB08 and voyager OP twin pack
3) Got 2 UBB placed high on the shelf with Primus.
4) Berlambak Deluxe police barricade costing RM 100 each. So berlambak you got to wonder where they all came from.
5) Got the Legends Ironhide with blackout twin pack. The bad news is that you have to buy not one, not 2, hell even not 3, but FOUR (4) other Legends twin pack in order to buy the ironhide. So have to buy rescue ratchet w/ brawl, cliffjumper w/ recon barricade, nw op w/ ss and jazz w/ bonecrusher twin packs. No joke. Total around RM 175++ i heard. Before shooting TW, shoot Hasblow FIRST. They are the ones which supplied all the legends twin pack in mixed cases not solid cases. Luckily I didn't buy any of the twin packs when i saw them at TRU.

Came back empty handed coz already have BB08 and not keen to get legends, especially when forced into a " MUST BUY THIS TO GET THIS NONSENSE".

If I tell this to my friend or if my friend reads this he will surely be very very upset

In fact I ask him if the OTHER TW (ToyWiz) is selling, same story, both for RM 150. Didn't know other shops are selling cheaper

Note to self, check Lyn.net for latest scouting info.

what other shops are selling at discounted rate? The one in endah parade? Famitoys at sunway d'sara?

For TRU this morning my friend went to TRU SJ b4 heading to TWorkers, no movie screens there. Dunno bout now though

God, at this rate when the capture of BB08 come out, I can predict that 100% MUST buy Desert attack movie screen with the scorponok in order to buy the capture of BB08, for RM 150 and above. You hear it here 1st

Or when of-road ironhide comes out must buy in pack with Incinerator,
or when stealth BB08 comes out must buy with red Dropkick or some useless deluxe.

Wow, I can sell toys already!!

From the recent posts everyone seems to be graduating to masterpieces or macross figurines

Now is the season for masterpieces!!

P.S : Wish I can afford one..

scouting report 07012008KLCC

Time: 11.15 am

Venues scouted: Parkson, Isetan KLCC, Avenue K TRU

Parkson and Avenue K TRU = Dun bother. Recommend going somewhere else

Isetan KLCC =
BERLAMBAK NW OP
Berlambak Jetfire Grimlock 2 pack
BERLAMBAK robots heroes with the following combinations:G1 BB with soundwave, Ultra magnus w/ megatron and others
BERLAMBAK replicas : OP, Megs, Frenzy, Barricade
Berlambak some sculpture with robot meg on 1 side and jet mode megs on the other inside a cylindrical case

Report complete. Items bought: 1 Takara Tomy Limited Die cast car

sorry to bursts everyone's bubble but when it arrives at the local toy shops this will 100% happen:-

1) Scalpers will get them all first
2) At some toy shops, Like ToyWorkers or ToyWiz, sure must buy in packs like this:-
Landmine+Camshaft+Stockade+Sun.. whatever that Dreadwing repaint is called for Rm 200++
Premium BB08 with the above deluxe pack= RM 250
Premium Jazz with the above deluxe pack= RM 250
Premium Barricade with the above deluxe pack = Rm 250

Thrust me, 100% sure must buy in packs one coz Hasblow shipped them in mixed cases. So start planning to buy them in packs if you want them. Unless you can get them at TRU or Isetan before the scalpers do.

I shudder to think what will happen when off-road ironhide comes out. Preparing myself mentally to spend RM 300 to buy off-road ironhide with incinerator and evac. Unless the darn case comes in Ironhide+Incinerator+Red Prime+Evac then must spend RM 400

Who says buying these toys need to be a 5 year old? Need to plan ahead financially like a grown adult!

So Hasbro.. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!!

Yalah, i know it is not TW's fault for doing that. In fact since they are unlike TRU or Isetan they dun have as much walk in customers. But I do hope they will order SOLID cases instead of mixed cases. If the demand for solid cases is there then hasbro will produce solid cases. Unless of course Hasbro is so hard-headed they won't listen.

I highly doubt TRU is smart enough to order solid cases as well since everything sells!!

Premium Deluxes in a set.... RM 100 X 3 = RM 300... well if I dun have any of the 3 then sounds good.. But got BB08 and Jazz already

Ooo ...MP SS for RM 189.90

Last year james' assistant (the one with specs) say will bring in Hasbro MP SS, around RM 200, didn't expect it to be cheaper. In fact pre-ordered from them already, now waiting for it to arrive and like taking forever. So I hope the waiting will be worth it!

Whoopiee Ironhide coming MP SS coming too

did he say must buy in packs or got pre-order for the ironhide?

P.S I realized there is no short form for Ironhide unlike bb08, OP, NW OP, BB74, SS, UM

Me Grimlock wanna be Masterpiece!!!

Added on January 13, 2008, 7:10 pmToyworker bringing in Voyager All Sparks. Pre-order can de.

New haul for 2008

Ironhide and Blackout Legends 2 pack




JJ attached such a big anti-theft sensor to it that have to tear part of the packaging to remove it

Time to open and play!!

Bought it from JJ 1U with the help of my friend.

Oh, watched the 1st episode of TF animated, to me like the quality and style like Star Wars Clone Wars. Very Good

Ironhide and Desert Blackout in Alt mode



Size comparison with Legends OP


Robot mode comparison


With OP

Pre-ordered my Offroad Ironhide from TWorkers already. Price slightly goreng, nearing Takara pricing although it is a not grey import.

Kinda ok with me since this is one of the last voyagers I require and the last movie autobot left. Dun mind the coloring since I just want the sculpt!

If buy all 3, red prime, IrH and Evac then can get RRP for all 3.

EST end of this month

P.S: I wonder if other places start selling OffIrH at rrp soon DUH!!

My Ironhide costs RM 128.00

Evac i think should be the same as it is quite high demand.

Atleast they didn't force me to buy in one RM 300 pack good enough already!!!!

so I kena goreng-ed?

Last time I bought my Takara Blackout from Ultimate Toys for only RM 135. That time when BB twin pack just released. Never regretted, in fact grateful I bought it at that price.

Next time should look at other places liao.

Must pay a visit to GT Endah Parade or Famitoys KD'sara.

Actually I have only a few TF on my wishlist, mainly MP SS (pre-ordered with TWorkers, that time last year and quoted RM 200 something, dunno whether will be RM 189.90) and Ironhide. If our TRU bring in the re-issue TRU exclusive Wing Saber then I'll consider (Might try getting it at the other TW or check out Isetan KLCC).

Other than that maybe Landmine at RRP. Saw got a few Allsparks Deluxes at GT BTS, but RM 80 Berlambak gila sam's 3-pack and Robo Prime there selling at RRP.

So far I know I can get Tf at these places:-
GT Berjaya Times Square (BTS)
XL-Shop BTS
Time Machine BTS
Metrojaya BTS
Isetan KLCC
TRU Avenue K
TRU The Mall
TWiz amcorp
UT Amcorp
TRU Midvalley
Jusco Midvalley
Metrojaya Midvalley
Jusco IOI Mall (My 1st and 2nd TF bought from here)
TRU SJ
TWorkers SJ
Gt Endah Parade (yet to find it)
Famitoys Kota Damansara (yet to find it)

wow... that is one long scouting list

Edit: Plus Jusco Sunway Pyramid. Bought my leader brawl from here.
