    the one with leobreaker, trypticon, perceptor and fireflight(?), has it been sighted internationally? cuz its out in malaysia.

    strange, considering i didnt see this sighting at sgcollect when they already have wave 2.

    the recent patterns been pretty erratic actually.

    we got tit prime n megs and alt mirage 1st.

    then US got classics 1st.

    singapore got classics wave 2 1st.

    it used to be HK 1st, singapre 2nd, malaysia 3rd as far as far east goes. AUS/NZ or US sometime scoop each other. but these days its entirely unpredictable.

    I always confuse Malaysia and Singapore. Which one makes the tough guys tumble?

    What about infernal moose and squirrel? Elsinore brewery? Crushing your head?

    ...wow, i've completely exhausted my knowledge of canadian culture.

    What do the LOCs retail for?

    ah crap, i forgot to chk, tho theyre prolly same price as previous LOCs which is approx...5 bucks, kinda expensive, deluxes are approx 13 bucks, voyager, 25. i really wanna get these guys but i'm waiting for them to saturate the market a bit. the trypticon repaint in particular looks supah sweet.

    i didnt pick em up cuz i just bought tit scourge...who just came out here. see? weird.

    Er, what do you mean by "make the tough guys tumble"? Singapore like KA mentioned is to the south of Malaysia and is just a small island.

    My country is infamous for its tough/insane laws such as chewing gum bans and caning of vandals etc. Its like a "control freak country"...however, things are slightly more liberal under the current government.

    The only thing good living in Singapore as a collector is that I have access to both US and Japanese toys and the prices can be fairly good but other than that, living in this country is very stifling and the citizens are treated like "cattle".

    Some minicons under the Classics series were also found in my country but I've no interest in them...I'm only getting the G1 homage characters! :D

    Oooh, sorry. The answer we were looking for was "Siam".

    We do have some lovely parting gifts for you, though. (Hope you like Rice-A-Roni.)




    You have just been the witness to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness, by the way.

    Malaysia also has the disease-carrying mosquitos.

    Yeah, anyone know if Target (and maybe Walmart) are ever going to carry these things? I've only ever seen them at TRU.

    I really hope they do. I hate going to the closest Toys"R"Us, and I would rather go to Wally World or Target to get my TF's. The only reason that I'm going to TRS this December is to pick up the Soundwave CR. I think these guys retail at either 2 or 3 bucks here in the states, but I can't remember the exact price. The only one that I really want is the Autobot Whirl, and that doesn't come out till March of next year. I'm thinking about picking up the Perceptor one, but I'll make up my mind when I see it in the store. Peace out.

    I think I will ignore that comment despite the "racist tone" for the sake of keeping the peace here.
