I'm pretty serious...

English is my first language thou. What with Malaysia being a Commonwealth country and all.  

 

Yeah, I think he was saying he didn't mind helping you, if you were serious. But the way it was said, it sounded like he wasn't interested in helping you.
At least, that was my take on it - hopefully I'm not wrong, and just adding to the confusion!

 

Yeah.. I sorta got that impression as well!

 

My mistake on that part. Rather shocked that Malaysia doesn't have an indigenous language that is its main language. Still, when you assume...

Which was the gist of what I was trying to say, ignorance of national languages aside.

 

It does, Malaysia's indigenous language is "Malay' or 'Bahasa Malaysia". But English is widely taught and spoken.. 

As Malay is the national language, it is also widely taught and spoken. But just to add to the confusion, I am the 4th Generation of Malaysian Chinese.. and I can speak the 'Hokkien' Chinese dialect. I can also speak a smattering of Cantonese and Mandarin.  

 

Back on topic: So when can we expect to get concrete prof and see the first pics of Repugnus?

 

My guess is the last week of the month at the earliest. Though, I wonder if that rumored Carnivac repaint of Weirdwolf will ever happen

 

I hope you can get it for a decent price somehow.
I can complain about availability of TF product outside of the US, but I am well aware how good I have it being surrounded by no less than three webshops in two different countries that offer a variety of official and third party product.
I have no idea how things are for someone in say Russia, Nigeria, India or Brazil.
Maybe we should start a thread to talk about this stuff.

 

This.

 

In Russia everything is screwed up, believe me. Everything costs almost the twice of an original price, there is no boxsets except for Trypticon, and many figures are not available for Russian buyers. If you want to buy TakTomy figures - be ready to pay many moniez for the shipping and wait a half of a month.
At least we have slugslingers and ramhorns in stock.

 

Slugslinger? That's new.

 

Toy fair probably, so mid February.

 

You don't have any Russian webshops dealing in Transformers? No webshops dealing in other actionfigures you might appeal to?

 

Yeah, our shops weren't stocking anything after Triggerhappy wave, but then suddenly got almost every non-exclusive figure.

 

Any chance you can get me the factory-printed EAN barcode for Slugslinger? Should begin with 5010993.

 

Only couple definitely-not-trustworthy scalper shops that stock rare(for Russia) tfs (Bought Bludgeon from one of them, nigga's totally wrecked, has weird green stains on him, cannot transform into the robot mode because the pins that keep his spine in place are destroyed, right leg falls down), one can also search for collectors willing to sale their tfs on the forums or VK groups.

I'll try to get you that next time when I visit that shop! ^__^

 

Sucks when you're dependent on fysical shops for this stuff. Shipping would be expensive enough inside Russia I can imagine. Let alone if you have to import.

 

What about Detmir or Ozon?

 

I was talking about Detmir.  

 

I will like to see if he is a titan master too.
