i shud have some pictures but sry for the 'dodgy' title, anyway my cameraphone is coming soon i hope.
last nite i finally got my hands on two hard-to-find figures, one of it even costs up to RM120 in most hobby shops u can find around KL but i got them for cheap(er). thx to this hobby shop in Damansara Utama SS21.
well i gonna explain how these figures/toys works. in fact, these toys AREN'T that expensive, as seen in hobby shop. its RETAIL PRICE is about 50% cheaper, well that's if u can find them off-the-shelf in jusco, parkson, metrojaya, carrefour, giant, toy'r'us etc etc. since m'sian are crazy especially on t'formers, buying off-the-shelf is like digging in a gold mine, its treasure.
specifically on transformers, two company has the official rights to release its toys - Hasbro and Takara. Hasbro is available internationally, TFs in juscos and parksons are from Hasbro. for Takara to be available locally, usually they are shipped by local hobbyist and to be sold at higher price.
Now into Takara, it has PERFECT and FACTORY-REJECT grade. the difference between these two grades aren't obvious, could be some paint-dent or imperfection, unsolid finishing, dented surface etc etc. Other than that, they are similar. Althou FACTORY-REJECT should be sold at lower price, but due to its demand, the price is parred with the PERFECT condition, or slightly lower.
the terms i've used here isn't the international standard (hahaha) but its based on my understanding.
BEWARE : FIGURES/TOYS COLLECTING IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR WALLET!
