LOL, QFT my friend. ah, the sting of customs tariffs. i hope you guys could find a way around the complicated process of bribes and shady government officials so that you could also order from abroad.

same here. Man, sometimes it just stinks to live in the provinces, we are at the bottom of the food chain where TF stocks are concerned.

But you'll have to sell your kidney first!

How come you can just call SM anytime?

by **zemper** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:55 pm

eh? i just look the store up in the directory, call and try to find out the number to the toy department/TK, list those numbers down, and call the stores anytime as long as the mall's open.

is this not allowed there in the north?

by **olokin** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 12:29 am

No restocks yet. Same with zemper, only Robot Replicas 2-pack of Megs and Prime here in my SM.

I just didn't know we can do that.

Thanks for this new scientific knowledge!

I'm in an insignificant place in Northern Luzon where there is no SM or Toy Kingdom, save for a small Robinsons Department Store.

Buy i check out the toys in Metro Manila from time to time. Particularly Greenhills area. Occassionally, Makati too.

those are way-out prices!!! except for the scourge, none of them are worth their selling price.

lemme guess, hobby shop huh?

Seen ...

Longarm 1000
Final Battle Jazz 1100

by **4NZZZ454** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 7:55 am

Recently purchased paylod deluxe class, the plastic material really looks brittle compared my Jazz, BB and Barricade. I looked at the hobby shop today and saw takara version long arm, from the plastic itself, it would seem that material is consistent with my other autobots. I further suspect that my payload is a knock off. anyone with a payload that can concurr? Payload price i got was 900. Longarm was 1300 but still deciding if i will get it. How can one spot anyone since there maybe fakes already?

Where bought?

by **zemper** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 8:17 am

what? it's only been like a month or so since these have seen worldwide release... maybe the plastic is REALLY that brittle, considering that the movie line sported some of the worst cases of plastic compromise in TF toy history, maybe due to the demand of these toys.

by **4NZZZ454** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 8:34 am

bought locally but the source supposedly came from Malaysia or Singapore. The other thing is that the front grill keeps coming off and the circular face does not want snap on properly.
