Haha I'm guilty of that too! Always get excited when I see IN STOCK AT THE HANGAR (TFH) or NEW ARRIVALS (RC) for TFs in my inbox.  

As for RC, I think if you do reserve, they will hold it for you for at least a week, so no need to rush down and be there before the shutters open hehe.

 

Thanks bro!   I would probably open the e-Hobby redeco (Overcharge) one day but no way am I opening TFC#17, okay, at most MIB.

 

Solitud bro i asked you earlier on abt the tiny OP in yr sig. just want to confirm w/you is that the WST version? how much did it cost you?

Maybe i might be interested to get one in the near future, to put it on display with the upcoming Encore Metroplex.  

 

ok i dont know wat that means...lol..but yeah..ah well ..lol  

lol i know...i had like 3 days more before the week was up, but i was getting back from college, so i thought i had timed it perfectly lol, it took me there exactly by 1245...in my defense, TFH is open pretty much exactly on time  

oh and solitud, bro..rizuan's asked at least 3 times about ur little OP, lol..please put his mind at ease  

 

  Ok here you go, a definition of the singlish term Kiasu:
KIASU
(kee-ah-soo)
Hokkien adjective literally meaning, "afraid of losing". A highly pejorative description beloved of Singaporeans. Possibly our defining national characteristic. The nearest English equivalent is "dog in a manger", though even that is pretty mild.
"You went to get a handicapped sticker just to chope a parking space? How kiasu can you get?"  

 

Hi rizuan, i'm sorry i didn't reply earlier cause i missed out yr question completely!

Yes it's WST OP and I believe I bought him at Simply Toys at Raffles Place. I don't remember the price and I'm not sure if they even still have stocks, it was quite sometime back when i bought him. Yes, he would go very nicely with your coming encore Metroplex  

Some shops with "obscure" stocks which you can try would be Simply Toys at Raffles Place & Suntec, or Movie Replicas (which seems to be part of TFH?) at far east plaza. When all else fails, eBay.



EDIT: Just dropped by TRU @ Forum and good news! New stocks of TFU Galvatron and Acid Storm are up on the shelves!   Also sighted Movie Premium Barricade and Jazz, and also Allspark Power Recon Bumblebee, each going at S$16.90. Very nearly bought Recon BB and also 2-pack Deluxe Blackout and Scorponok but came to my senses and told myself "NO!".

Also saw overstock of Classics 1.0 Cliffjumper and a lone Classics Grimlock, and also a few Grimlock & Jetfire 2 packs. The overstock of "Classics" G1 Commemorative Soundwave is still there @ S$49.90 ea. ($10 less than other TRU branches) too.

And, correction to what I mentioned earlier, but Masterpiece Starscream's price of S$79.90 at TRU Forum and Vivocity seems to be the "standard" price now. They don't mention a U.P. of S$149.90 anywhere. I guess that's good news for you heshanj  

 

Thanks for the heads-up Solitud. dun worry bro i won't take the info that you've provided for granted. great for this thread.  

 

Anytime  

 

Glad to see you having fun with Blitzwing. I was doing the same things too when i just got him. Love his tank mode!

 

Hey, thanks solitudinal for the update, i'll try 2mrw, i hav tuition today..

 

oops double post...

 

Update at OG Bugis - same old stuff such as Animated, Classics etc. For those looking for Powerglide can try there. I saw a few there maybe 2-3? Didn't count as I was attracted by the Gundam fair! LOL! Oh yeah, Onslaught sighted. I have no idea if the TFs are discounted though.

Meanwhile at Bugis Junction, the only newsworthy TF I saw was Silverbolt; which I didn't see at OG Bugis.

 

haha cool...i get it now   lol

thanks bro..that IS good news   gives me more time, coz i thought of getting ultra class silverbolt before moving on to MP figures..thats great, coz it means that the price will be the same, and rizuan says it shouldnt sell out too fast either...im thankful  

 

Btw i'm just curious who else among us pre-ordered the City Commander upgrade kit? (for Classics UM) as far as i know only Zero pre-order it.

 

I pre-ordered it too, from RC  

Looks really good, hope it's worth the wait.

3 Classics Cliffjumpers
1 Movie Salvage
Several Movie ratchet Blasters and longarm and bumblebee movie scene pack

TFU SIDESWIPE!!

BUT, they only had him as a loose (but complete) figure and they only had ONE in stock (display piece). I asked if he was on sale and the guy said yes and it was S$20. But I said no thanks, I'll wait for the carded ones thanks  

They also had loose TFU Blades and Treadbolt (Transformers Universe Classics 2.0 Treadbolt In Package - Transformers News) for sale.

Oh, and heshanj, they also have loose TFU Ultra Class Onslaughts for sale, saw quite a few and I don't think anyone is about to buy them in a hurry so if you're still keen you have a chance to get it there  

Other interestings things of note:

Misc. loose TFA figures
A BOX FULL of loose TFU Prowls
BT19 Bluestreak (yawn)
BT16 Skids
Alternators Wheeljack

Didn't notice much else but I had to rush in and out so did not get a chance to really look through the shop.  

 

make that 2 onlslaughts   yeah, i just gave up on trying to get the missing part for my onslaught and bought a boxed one...i didnt have the box anyway, so i thought i'd get a new one...nice update, very detailed as rizuan said   ive got nothing more to add there..except, at PP there's another toy store in the basement...theyre bloody expensive though, but they had a load of henkei figures...no wonder they always have a decent stock coz they sell a deluxe for 40 bucks..
anyway, im gonna read the last few posts but if anyone has spotted universe deluxe galvatron, please post it here or PM me...i plan to get silverbolt and galvatron on tuesday..i know PP has silverbolt but no galvatron..if i can get both at one place, that'd be great...i'll check with TFH

EDIT: hmm, TRU at Forum, u say..ok, im new in singapore really..ive never been to forum mall before..wats the best way of going? i'd probably take a taxi coz im bad at finding my way in the city lol...but if its not too hard, someone please let me know  

 

Hey guys. Nice to see a mini-Singapore community growing in here. Sorry I don't post as often as I did back in the old days. These days, I tend to limit myself to the comics subforum, even then I have not much to contribute in terms of sightings. The current slew of Encore reissues of the rarer G1 toys have practically wiped out my Transformers toys finances, so I hardly have any impetus to check out retail stores even if I do so badly want to get my grubby hands onto more Animated and Universe stuff. Hopefully once Metroplex comes out, I can start going back to the main toylines. Anyway, keep up the good work!
