Man, I wish I could get there some time in the next day or so! Looks like the earliest I'll be free is Sun morning! Hope they don't sell out of the new Encore stuff...

Well, my wife was in a "family excursion" mood, so we hopped on the train to town, and I ended up seeing ShinTokyo after all. Better stuff than I expected tbh, as I've never looked there since I started collecting officially (3 years ago). I didn't even consider we had a local Henkei importer (yeah, I know, pretty dumb of me =oP), and with Deluxes at $29 each (for most of them, the rest were $45 less 20%), I ended up with my first 3 Henkei figures (Galv, Smoke & Lambor). I had only chosen Galv & Lambor, my wife was digging the colour scheme of Smokescreen, which I was in two minds about (as I'm not a fan of having re-paints/moulds in my collection), but when the missus is telling you to get a Transformer, why not, eh? =oP

Funny thing; when I called 2 days ago, the guy said they had no Binaltechs, but they had Alternators. Turns out these "Alternators" they have are Binaltechs... Once again, a big rawr for ShinTokyo staff product knowledge... -.-

Anyhoo, anyone else curious about their sale, here's what I can recall seeing:

Henkei:
-Jetfire
-Inferno
-Sideswipe (Lambor)
-Sunstreaker
-Silver Streak
-Prowl (would've got if I didn't have the Hasbro)
-Galvatron
-Tankor
-Megatron
-Bumblebee
-Starscream
-3-pack Legends: Beachcomber/Brawn/Cliffjumper & Cosmo/Warpath/Wheelie.
-Dinobot

Binaltech: (Hundred a piece less 20% = more cookies than I'd like to pay)
-Arcee
-Skids
-Convoy
-Argent Meister
-Bluestreak

Encore:
-Pretty much all of them except Megs, Soundwave and Omega from what I could see.

Masterpiece:
-Megs
-Starscream (the Jap remake of Hasbro's, not MP-3)
-Ultra Magnus
-Skywarp
-Thundercracker

That's the majority of what they have, maybe a few bits 'n' pieces more (like a couple of Beast Wars things), so I hope that helps someone somewhere somehow.

Finally got a day off - yay - and I went to Shin Tokyo. Picked up Encore Bruticus and Cassettes for cheaper than what it would have costed from Robot Kingdom (I was VERY surprised actually!!!)

Then I went down to Galaxy Toys... sounds like some exciting things are gonna be happening there soon... esp for those of us who collect DCUC figures (I'm looking at you Gutsman!)

But I managed to score G1 Reflector from Galaxy Toys today - I'm over the moon! He's in such good condition!!
