    Dont worry the new wave comes with the clone trooper as well try carefour, toys'r'us marina square or taka bec. of the fair now. That's for the departmental stores. But for confirm can get places would be clarke Quay hourstor and the flea market.

    I send out a plea here to request all NOT TO BUY ANY AOTC FIGS SELLING MORE THAN $17.9. DO NOT FEED THE SCALPERS!!!
    I'm more lucky than you Solidnono, I managed to get most of the figures I want but am just missing the Yoda. I saw a stall at The Plaza (Bukit Panjang) selling YODA. I asked him how much and he says "$29.9"!!! I hang that one back onto the peg and walks off.

    By the way, try retail and I have so far manage to get the less usual one ie Massiff, Anakin Hanger Duel, Count Dooku and all of them not exceeding S$17.9 :)

    Happy collecting.

    Actually, Maul & OB1 Epic Force was going on sale at John Little for $2.50(?) each last year. :D I bought one more (before I paid $5-20 for it at Taka's SW sale in 2000) but when I came back a few days later, they were all gone. Not sure if I did get OB1 too as I packed them away after buying (not enough space to display, lah! :p )

    Anyhow, it's still a bargain. ;)

    As for the RG, is that the AOTC Red/Imperial Royal Guards? :eek:

    I should assume you have bought the Royal Guard at $25 rite? I myself is a imperial guard siao too and I manage to find one at Taka for retail price.
    As for the shop bringing in AOTC stuffs, I'm sceptical they will sell those below retail price... maybe figs like Anakin peasants and Obi-Wan coruscant chase would go lower but I doubt the rest. Hottie like RG, Yoda, Clone Troopers etc will at least go at $20.

    Have you tried Carrefour? They sell figs at $15.9 you know? If you are on holliday now, its worth going early in the morning just before they open and I guess you will have a good field day :)

    Happy Hunting

    Hi...
    I went clarke quay today also. So disappointed that many of the shops didn't open. To save the day, i met one malay guy working in TRU (forum), i ask him disclose some inside info as to when certain figurines will be released. I ask him give me a call when chewie is out on display. Hope he doesn't play me out.

    Okay guys, I'll do community service tomorrow (29 May 02) for everyone here!

    I'll go to Carrefour, TOYS R US Forum, Taka, Robinson Centrepoint, John Little Specialist Centre and end my day at Daimaru Plaza Singapura.

    I'll report all figures I found tomorrow evening, so youall can rush down at night before the stores close.

    But may I suggest Hourstor, really, I'm a regular customer here since 1996-7 and I got all my Star Wars figs here, never missing any single. I got my Chewie here, Vader, even the latest Stormtrooper Builder set I got it from Hourstore at $48 for 4 super posable stormtroopers! Cool! All at $17.90!!!

    I got 2 Imperial Royal guards at Taka around 4PM some days ago to accompany Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, so there's no need to go there early in the morning...

    Well, check back here tomorrow!!

    Yes, I agree R2 and C3PO took more limelight than any of the other SW movies. But it really brings back the feel of the OT

    tmingyang - Taka has that many figures? They must have restocked today.. :D

    Solidnono - Sure they're comic relief, and their buddy/companion relationship through the six movies is heartwarming. But the real reason GL wanted them is because they are the "eyes" which tell the entire SW saga.

    :)
