hahaha... that would be nice, a TF museum.

Actually, they were of the 'permanent display' variaety. Had to convince owners to dig through layers of toys to the display cabinet (just bearing in mind how small and compact and dense a HK toy shop would be) and because they are on display and obviously not priced, we have to there and then negotiated a price with me trying to come up with something so that the owner won't feel I'm trying to have him/her on and buy something he/she would otherwise be able to sell at a higher price... and half way through negotiating they would discover from my Cantonese that I am not native to HK and ask whether I am a 'dealer' from Singapore who will bring it back to Singapore to sell at twice the price (cos that is what people ordinarily do)... and... and... you get the idea.

in otherwords your shifty looking....

Amazingly, I actually managed to track down the now 'ultra' rare Henkei figures of Rodimus and Cyclonus! I'm pretty amazed at this turn of events.

Now I have something for the upcoming Protector amour to wear... woot!

Hot Rod = HKD$450 (approx AU$58)
Cyclonus = HKD$299 (approx AU$38.30)

Wow Insane. How do you do it?
And I am way jealous of those prices- at least half if not a third of ebay prices.

If you don't mind me asking, how is the henkei situation? Are there alot available in multiple stores or scarce now?

Wow. That's hectic. How did you convince them you're not a dealer?

I need to get some new stickers but otherwise, minty fresh!

Minerva- Umm, Go-Shooter?

Go-Shooter- Stay completely still, and Mantenna will leave us alone...


Great finds! just love Mantenna in the background. The Staction is a thousand times freakier than the vintage toy. it gives me nightmares.
