Hi all,
I'm also a GI Joe collector, previously only picking one or two figures especially SE and SS. After watching the movie, became interested to 'complete the set'. First few waves were pretty easy to find but stores lately almost have no new basic figures. Sigh, where am I ever gonna get Reactive Armor Heavy Duty sad.gif Wonder if we will see the future waves like Rex, PP Baroness etc. Anyway, good to know there are so many Joe fans in M'sia too. Have a nice day!

Odinn, Rather on the pricey side but I can understand your reasoning behind it. It looks to me that we could be seeing an early demise of the GI Joe line in M'sia. TRU folks always mention that GI Joe is not selling well. Sigh, hopefully with our support, the line can make it thru to the next waves. But that's going to be really hard if nothing new ever comes in sad.gif


Added on October 5, 2009, 11:36 pmFatimus, I really like this comic pack too! Just waiting for the right time to get it biggrin.gif The last comic pack I bought was Firefly v SS which was totally awesome smile.gifsmile.gif

I just got the Rescue mission set and it's totally superb!! Love the way they pack in 2 Neo vipers, which helps to build up the Cobra army biggrin.gif Only one complain is that Snake Eyes can't really hold his katana properly and the scabbard that it came with is too soft and bent by the packaging. Duke's ok too. Pretty movie-accurate.

Talking about Snake Eyes... here's one version I'm really happy to have: the 25th anniversary battle pack Snake Eyes vs Red Ninja Troopers! Got it while in US. SE by himself is pretty much a kit-bash, but the addition of 4 other ninjas really sells this set!

The TRU rm10 for action figures and rm30 discounts for vehicles are irresistable. Anyone buying double cos of this?
*
I didn't get any double, but it helped push me to buy some figures I've been holding back, like Scarlett Covert Ops & Cobra Viper Commando! Also, was down in KL last week, and managed to stock up on a whole load of collection 2 figures like Flash, Cobra Eel, Crimson Neo-viper, elite viper, general hawk, heavy duty and deep six! didn't see any Helix though, or pit commando. Saving RM10 off so many figures is sweet tongue.gif

hmmm....that is strange indeed. why CS Snake Eyes is not in it but the rest are...hmmm....

The thing I don't get it is that this is such a sought after figure, why not pack it 2 per case? They used to have some cases with 6 new figures, and 2 of each per case. Then everyone can get their fill of the fun...

Just curious if we use the Toysrus rm20  Coupon to buy rm150 or rm250, will we get another rm20 or rm40 coupon with that purchase and whether the coupon can be counted into our starcard?

They r no longer issuing the coupon thing. It was up till Nov 30th only~~

I still have rm60 coupon don't know what to spend on since most stuffs already sold out.

Cars too exp & limited choices, don't think i'll get another world peace keeper, G.I. Joe left losers, Tie Interceptor too exp compared outside, No new Star Wars figures, not many Marvel Universe character I like, Toy Story new small figure too exp (rm79.90!) more exp than bigger version of same toy.
*
I still have RM80 of vouchers biggrin.gif

I picked up Cobra Commander last weekend, and he's so cool as an action figure. the mask can be removed (with some peeling) to show the disfigured face! I saw the MARS trooper preview set is now on clearance at RM49.90. Not too bad deal. But did they appear in the movie?

Well, the thing is, from my point of view is that the majority of those selling on ebay Malaysia the current joe stuff tend to be people who just pick the stuff up specifically for resale on Ebay, thus depriving actual people of buying the stuff they want, it's a big difference when you sell stuff that came out a year ago or longer or even never showed up in Malaysia, unfortunately, particularly in the Klang valley, there are ppl whose sole purpose is to check out TRUs etc, take the hot stuff purely to immediately sell it on Ebay for a higher mark up which is why I'm against buying any current available stuff there as it tends to encourage these types of ppl. Personally as a collector, if I bought something locally in the last six months or so and unless it is a chase/convention exclusive figure and suddenly decided I didn't want it, I'ed resell at the retail price or less. Anything else somewhat appears to me to indicate a scalper.

Say no to scalpers biggrin.gif My opinion is that if you buy from them, means u r paying for their 'service' to take the toys off the shelf for u!
