The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

damn that looks awesome. I hope they still have some in three weeks or so. Or - given that I'm in the Philippines at the moment, I wonder if the postage might be significantly cheaper...?

Dang it!
I'm now very VERY tempted to get me that Shockwave because of your pics...
It looks mighty awesome!

You guys had better get him whilst he's hot , I don't believe they're doing to be doing a 4th run.

Second hand Hegemon that (unfortunately) had a bit of creative paintwork applied to him prior to my acquisition.

Still, a bit of Goo Remover (magic stuff!) stripped the silver that had been applied to the front/centre of his legs) and cleaned up the stray red from just below his chest (that had also rubbed off on his chest). Which I quickly replaced with a bit of red Sharpie to very good results.

Could have done without the silver paint on the legs, but I figured it'd be an easy removal job when it started sticking to my finger as I was cleaning the red off him.

Nope it wont be any cheaper. Chimungmung has a fixed postage cost for each item already mentioned in the item description, be it for US or within Asia. Of course since your in Phils at the moment, have you tried going to Greenhills? There might be one on sale at the moment in one of the hobby shops - Big boys toy store or Greattoys.

Also since your there, the Toys and Gifts fair will be on at Dec 8 at Megamall Megatrade hall - there could be one being on sale there as the same hobby shop owners would be having their tables set up in it, albeit not as big as it would've been as Toycon on June. But, it would save you on postage as it will be already there. I know my friend did buy his Quakewave in one of the shops in GH last month, so they might have extras as Im sure theyd order more than just few since the item is sought after.

Thanks for clearing that up Hursty. Now Im more certain I WONT be tampering with the forearm and keep the original as I kinda like the glowing light gimmick.

Yeah?... I want to see if they any good before I buy them..... well hopfully I don't have to wait until xmas for someone to do a short review of them!

[VERT]

Well from what I have seen they look real nice. Chrome eyes and sharp parts. Each one has a different face and are about the size of a real large basic or scout class figure.

Then again with how deluxe figures are shrinking. ...........

Word of Advice, BE EARLY last time I attended it I was there on opening time so I managed to get in and look around with ease, I think it was around 10 am or something they opened. But by lunchtime it was packed. One thing I hate is having lotsa kids in the way when shopping, only because they don't have a sense to GET OUT OF THE WAY! Also if you wait til like midday, the line to get in is gona be long as. Sometimes reaches up to the stairways and can be kinda slow moving. Remember if they don't have it at the Fair ask if they've got it on stock at their Greenhills branch (if their GH based ehehe), there a, FX (taxi service) terminal at the back of Mega A ( Megatrade hall are on Mega B) that goes to Greenhills and viceversa so it'll be easy to just go there within the day as well. Happy shopping!
