In the past 3 years,me & my wife tried to track leftovers from small stores which were selling them based on my memories when i was a kid.
But no such luck until now. You can get some vintage from Kampung Mainan at Blok M, southern jakarta but the conditions are far from good and pricey too.

But if you're looking for takara pieces for decent prices you can get them when there is a toy fair or get them at Multi toys kelapa gading or pondok indah mall, they seldom discounted their prices.
I will let you know about other stores. I need to ask my friend who lived there.

Thanks Neeno, yes Blok M was where I went, top floor! Heroic Decepticon has some mad transformer hunting skills, he always seems to find something!

Thanks for the info.

Do let me know when you find out. I have contacts in Indo that can help me look up the places (but they don't collect TFs).

Just checked, here is another super suss feedback. 'Positive' feedback was given 30mins after the listing ended. Either these 'buyers' are really trusting or Chinese posties are that good.

So it looks like he just got the first lot of feedback from selling TFs and what a shock it is negative. The comment says 'fraudulent seller, ordered a transformer toy and got a Santa hat instead'

dafuq!!!
now i have to open a case

please advise on how to win the case (even if ebay usually side with buyers) considering that the seller gave tracking no. with different ordered item.
do we have to open Item not as described and send back the wrong item before receiving a refund but it would cost us more to ship junk back to china not to mention the time it would take before he receives and confirm to ebay.

or ebay would just buy it if i open case for INR and refund straight away?
