I actually struggled for the longest time before I bought the PE Rumble/Frenzy here in HK. It's underwhelming and good as a filler, but if Takara comes up with their own, I'd rather get that. I'll be able to confirm this view for sure once I go pick up my Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-89341710869438328302011-03-29T19:32:09.427+08:002011-03-29T19:32:09.427+08:00Just went over to Robo Robo this afternoon.

Plenty of Scourge as well at 45SGD a pop. <br /><br />It appears to me that SG shops are pretty much openly scalping their customers now.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-29573324266930277752011-03-29T10:25:33.595+08:002011-03-29T10:25:33.595+08:00After reading about this yesterday- I took a gande...After reading about this yesterday- I took a gander at ebay- I saw one for 50 odd dollars excluding shipping.<br /><br />Today checked again- all gone. crazy.

Just as an indication, A "deluxe" like Scourge would cost HKD$180 at retail (SGD$30) and a "voyager" like Rumble/Frenzy which is in a box like Grapple would cost HKD$250-$300 at retail (SGD$50). Maybe that is the reason why these are all sold out, andHeroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-3225190299341842902011-03-27T20:31:56.054+08:002011-03-27T20:31:56.054+08:00No worries H_D!

I hadn't preordered anything so I am not sure if you had the option of buying the entire wave at the same time or not, but anyway I've seen plenty of Rumble/Frenzy being sold in shops in Plaza Sing and CSC. The lowest price is 60 SGD which I think is 360 HKD? Cheapest Scourge is 39SGD which Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-24087214748439628802011-03-27T12:03:53.612+08:002011-03-27T12:03:53.612+08:00Hmmm... but then chances are, you might have to pa...Hmmm... but then chances are, you might have to pay even more for Rumble/Frenzy now...

Would save you a lot of heartache trying to search for Rmble/Frenzy. I didn't manage to go down to the shops yesterday, but my buddy did and he told me that all the shops selling Wave 4 was sold out within 30mins of the shipment arriving with Rumble/Frenzy going the fastest.

No one's particularly interested in G2 prime (in HK at least). Scourge is uncertain, because for once, I do think the generations version looks better. Wheeljack is another toss up, cos gens version is already pretty white.
