When you're in Metro Manila, you can try the major malls. Within the malls there are also independent toy shops that carry various collectibles.
Anybody from metro manila in this thread?

Major Malls here in Manila carry TF figures.

There are also shops in Greenhills, San Juan and Makati City if by chance you visit our humble country.

Viramall at Greenhills. Also other parts of that compound. There's Shoppers something, just beside Viramall, behind the theater. I think it's 2nd floor or 3rd floor. You'll find more than 10 shops to choose from.
Also, most SM Toy Kingdom shops. But these offers official release at official prices only. Line up very limited.

hmmm...restocks are already up in manila just this weekend and collectors over there are going absolutely crazy buying out 08 BBs. for us in the provinces i guess it would be sometime this week. keep checking out your local Robinson's, SMs and (if they sell TFs) Gaisanos starting tomorrow for news of restocks.
btw, the restocks that hit manila contained pretty much every one of the figures you mentioned except leader brawl.
keep checking!

Yes it is in Glorietta 2 which fortunately I frequent since I play Magic The Gathering on that area.

Hey, guys. I just got Longarm. He's going from 980 up. I haggle a bit and got him at 950. A bit expensive. But acceptable.
He's a Japanese version. So i bite the 950 price.

I had a friend scout the area for me while i was on the way to Manila.

OMG!
You already got MP Skywarp! I envy you Auto Bot! Congrats man!
Anyway, guys, have you tried ordering online from international toy merchants? I order extensively from Barnesandnoble.com coz I know there are no custom duties for books. How about toys? Any insight is welcome.
