Here i was hoping you have some news. Though I hope they can stave off new releases until March, my wallet hasn't recovered yet.

Well, i've seen the newbies Landmine, Camshaft, and Cliffjumper pretty much everywhere. They're so easy to get.

Also, Robovision Prime, Bumblebee duo pack, Ironhide, Thundercracker, all 3 Leaders, Ultimate Bumblebee, Swindle, Scorponok.

Practically all hard-to-get Movie toys are now visible everywhere.

Although some shops still keep the prices nauseatingly high.

Best place to buy are SM Malls.

Except for the provinces. Movie TFs are out of stock again. My local Toy Kingdom is marking down the Real Gear line though. About P200 less.

P200 is a big discount. I'll check our local mall if that applies to ours too.

I'm waiting for some movie toys to mark down.

It is. That's the way I built my Classics, thru clearance sales.

Good for you. You have that much patience to wait.

That's what we call highway robbery.

Wow! Sorry to hear that bro... Wish I could help my fellow Filipino's out. My cousins are there now, if I had known about these prices, I could have arranged to have my cousins deliver some TF's. But from the looks of things, seems like you guys have all the stock. Robovision Prime, Metallic Megatron and Metallic Ratchet are long gone from here. The only way to get our hands on those is to get it on Ebay. The Allspark line is slowly making their way to the stores and even when they do make it to the shelves, they are gone within minutes (:|

I just got my Cliffjumper, Landmine and Camshaft today from Hasbro.com. I also managed to find First Strike Prime, Offroad Ironhide and Evac over the weekend. Hope to find Night Watch Prime soon..

Good luck to you guys. It would be fun to hook up and do some hunting down there the next time I visit the PI!

Thanks.

Maybe the reason why we have everything is because they're so expensive. And few are buying. :lol:

That was before Transformers got all hot though. Now, deluxes and voyagers don't stay on the store shelves long.

Wed Jan 16, 2008 5:09 am

I think Allspark series will stay quite long on the shelves. Especially without a movie yet until 2009.

That is possible, but the momentum from the 2007 Movie is still a runaway train. This could carry over to this year.

Welcome, rodimuy.

Any new sightings?

Tue Jan 22, 2008 8:47 am

The long awaited Movie Leader class finally arrived at my local Toy Kingdom. A tad late if you ask me. At least 3 months late. Optimus and Megatron still warm the shelves though.

Tue Jan 22, 2008 9:04 am

All 3 Leaders are easily available now.

Wed Jan 23, 2008 4:08 am
