Here are some pics of the set-up so far before opening tomorrow (Saturday) at 11am. Last day of the sale is on Wednesday, Christmas day. No prices revealed yet, but I think I can make out the Jetfire sign in the last picture for NT$1500 (CAD$65.25; US$49.60)

Out of bed early to go eat breakfast and scooter to line-up early for the sale. Here’re some pics of what the setup looks like before it starts. Transformers section looks tight! Gonna get crowded and pushy in there!
Went back this evening and found a few things available that weren’t there on opening day: Taiwan Transformers Sightings
合川 Héchuān is having another big sale! Started today at their ‘warehouse store’ at 中和區連城路43號 No.43 Liánchéng Rd., Zhōnghé District. Bigger discounts than the sale they just had before Christmas!!!
I see that Generations Select Voyager Class Red Wing is priced the same as per Deluxe Class Dinobot Swoop, that is a good deal I must say... Also, how much for those Cassettebots Gurafi & Noizu? (I'm sorry but I couldn't see any numbers on those.)
Yes, I was lucky to find that Red Wing! It was the only one, and buried in the back of all the Red Swoops. I think someone just didn’t notice the name was different, probably only quickly scanning the English and paying attention to ‘Red’! So priced the same as all those Red Swoops at only NT$250! The cassettes 3-pack was NT$800. The other things without prices: -Caliburst NT$100 (Takara) -C-3PO & R2-D2 NT$300ea
So USD $26 for the Cassettebots while Red Wing is around USD $8.50. I say nice catch for all these. We pay around USD $26 for Deluxe Class & USD $44 for Voyager Class from where I am. Those Cassettebots would cost about USD $52.
Yes, quite pleased with these prices. The closest to clearance prices I’ve ever seen in Taiwan. Think I’m gonna scooter back there tomorrow for another look-see. Where are you located? Smallest country — Vatican City? Andorra? San Marino? Moon Base 1?
