Thanks to 2005 Boards member Automorpher for giving us the heads up of our first world sighting of the new Transformers R.E.D Wave in Singapore. Transformers R.E.D Wave 4 Out In Singapore - Transformers News - TFW2005
Current exchange rate shows 1 Singapore Dollar= 75 cents USD, so you could be paying just under $30 USD for these, still expensive yes, but perhaps not quite as mush as initially thought.
A good example will be the Generations Titan class figures at S$299.90, and I remember the original G1 Fortress Maximus was S$219 around 1990 (can't recall what year it was at retail in Singapore), which was really a lot of money in those days
