Sadly those are the first figures to go and be taken up by fans and scalpers and given that they came out a month ago, you'll be lucky to find them.

I stop by TRU KLCC everyday since my office is just opposite the building. My itinerary these 3 days:

1) Sg Wang
2) Lot 10
3) Times Square
4) Curve
5) Amcorp Mall
6) Tropicana City Mall

Checked out the TRU and department stores only. No luck and all the walking and driving makes me sad sad.gif

Hi all Joes (and Cobras) here,

Been trolling here for some time and wishing I still had my old ones intact..

I've spent the last 3 days scouring the city looking for 2 figures (extremely small chance of finding them nowadays but I had to try) and would like to ask here for help. I am looking for these two:

1) Hall of Heroes Snake Eyes with Timber
2) Hall of Heroes Storm Shadow

If anyone knows where I can find them or direct me to where they are available, I'd greatly appreciate the help (E-bay is my second last option while a shop here would be my very last option. Wouldn't sell separately but in set and I only need these two).  notworthy.gif

Thanks in advance everyone. I'd show my current figures but they're all from the RoC lines and I just collect the cool looking ones. Not into troop building  sweat.gif

if your really lucky, i saw in storm shadow at carrfour in tropicana city. if that helps.

Odinn:

1) Sungai Wang: Most possible chance to get HoH SS and SE is in Metro Jaya.
2) Lot 10: Isetan's Toys department don't stock HoH stuff
3) Times Square: Never saw a single HoH in Grafitti's, but you can get them from Time Machine, they charge a whopping RM 60 per figure.
4) Curve: Not too sure about the independent toy shops there, but you can try your luck on the department stores.
5) Amcorp Mall: Toy Wizard stock them but, as you said, they sell in a set, bastards. I don't see a point of buying a set of figures where i don't want a few or several of them, waste of money to buy crap you don't need.
6) Tropicana City Mall: TRU don't stock it last i seen, but Brick Brothers do stock them, at what price, i don't know. Carrefour do stock up RoC and HoH lines, but limited. Last time i saw, i saw a few Crimson Guards, Vipers, 1 Flint and 1 Zartan.
7) 1 Utama: Probably try your luck in My SciFi diner, but so far, i seen RoC line, no HoH yet.
8) Mid Valley: No point to check TRU, only 1 HoH Viper.
9) KLCC: Heard that they ran out of stock, not sure
10) Subang: Toys Worker do sell some 25th anniversary figures, but not sure if they stock any HoH lines or not.

You might need to check out other areas with Carrefour, Tesco, Jusco, Metro Jaya, Parkson department stores, most likely you get to find them.

Oh, to all the fans out there that's stayin in KL, if you guys want it, lets make a gathering of Joes/Cobra collectors. I'm actually tempted to watch the RoC movie again this weekend in Times Square and as well as check out the toy shops in Times Square too. Anyone interested?

I've not gone to 1 Us' stores and Subang Parade. The rest I've visited last weekend. So far I've not seen any Joes (or Hasbro) toys at the Jusco outlets I've visited. Thanx again for the help earlier biggrin.gif

It's been mentioned before, but Jusco is not carrying any Hasbro products. Also while everyone posting here is a true collector, I'm just wondering that if by posting info on where to find etc on this thread, we are making it easier for scalpers who lurk on this forum. Rather sad really that these kind of things happen.

well,,scalpers do tend to lurk around ,searching for tips and info that will help them hoard more stuff..
perhaps PMing is a better solution rather than public posting.

Regarding the Toywiz question, it might be possible if you are ordering a case as basically most speciality stores will only reserve figures if you take the case (so that they don't get stuck with the dregs), unfortunately many of the speciality stores aren't really taking GI Joe given that Hasbro is releasing it to TRU and the dept stores. BTW Fatimus, where is your hometown? As there might actually be a place there where you can get joes.

who knows, but the supermarket will be depending on demographic.

Kelantanese are generally...easy to satisfy bunch, as long as any market that sell fresh food or basic items, they are happy to buy. But who knows.

then it depends on luck.consider that as an act of helping fellow collector.but at least only 1 or 2 person knows the info rather than anyone who reads the posts.

i have been rather patient and been getting almost all ROC figures released thus far...but its all about timing and regular visits..

Well save for newcomers who've not posted in the thread here , it's pretty much certain by the postings here that those who have posted on this thread are collectors. So one can PM in the cases of any of the regulars here who asked where to find a particular figure and since the scalpers only target figures, it's not a problem to answer freely to anyone looking for a vehicle
