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

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

I thought of asking the guy this question when I was there this afternoon. But after getting rather unsatisfactory service I forgot about the question and don't think I'll be goin back there again.

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

EDIT: is the base of the main rotor blade of your Dragonhawk loose? e.g. can't spin properly because it shakes?

Just so you guys know, it wasn't exactly a "what you need, I'll get for you" thing. I think it was more of a survey so they'll know what will sell better and in demand compared to the stuff that is out now and nobody really wants them as much. Again, I'm not holding my breath but it's a positive thing to happen and can only help our chances better if the right people listen to the fans/collectors.

If/when I get word from the guy, I'll update. icon_rolleyes.gif

Hey guys, received a call from the promoter. He said distributor told him that arctic assault SE and SS as well as others in that wave will be coming out here and that he will update again. However, he said he was told city strike SE is US only (how true, i dunno).

I asked if they can get store exclusive items and he said have to ask distributor/buyer first. Also said to give names of models/figures from Hasbro and Mattel that we are looking for/hot items so he can check.

I can't say his info is super credible but if you guys know of figures new or tba, i'll just sms and see how it goes. I am gonna ask about Rhino, need more names for him to work on.

He said Hall of Heroes are no longer available, so I doubt they have any of those 25th Anniversary ones available. I sent him Reapers' list & Rhino so will wait for word on that now.

Got my Night Raven and must say that I am rather pleased with it. Forget the gimmicks, just admiring the looks of it is enough for me (it's going to be sitting in my cabinet anyway so why bother with gimmicks etc).

I was told by the store promoter that Rhino wouldn't be making an appearance here in the future (it is a Target store exclusive and huge). As for other Joes figures, like some of you guys know by now, Hasbro M'sia said sales is not good and there is still current stock to get rid off. So barring a huge demand in existing stock and someone buys up all the old stuff on the shelves, it doesn't seem like we'll be getting anything new in a while..

So....I'm going to look at ordering online.

well,judgin by that info,then it should be good news to me..no more hunting down for new figures every week..just wait for local shop to bring in the new stuff.the downside being having to buy in case assortment..but at least i will not miss out on those figs that i want.

How much for a case? How many per case, 5 or 7?

thanks for the welcome darkshadow!!

by the way I also lost GI joes due to fireworks =) My friends and I use to play GI joes like they were sky commanders(or commados forgot already) we put the joes with fireworks and let them glide on strings..kabooo, dead joes..

Do you know any local online stores selling GI joes. thanks!
*
Sky Commanders..that was a cool cartoon then....

Not many local stores sell em around here; Grafitti in Times Square would be the only local store but no ROC lines. If you're looking for ROC, then hit up the department stores (except Jusco) and TRU nationwide. May be missing some other store names though smile.gif

EDIT: I missed the word "online"...

And no there aren't any local shops selling em online afaik.. sad.gif
