    I heard about that too! That's quite an achievement ;). But I think she also memorised the beeps and squeaks from the OT as well

    When I was there yesterday, the Hasbro Promoter keep opening a new box every hour. :p Come to think of it, why do you think Taka(usually) and John Little(recently) gotten all the excess TPM stuffs and able to sell them cheaply during certain periods. :D

    Maybe they haven't learnt their lesson 8-}

    But I guess it's best for all of us, including the general public. Prevents scalpers from manipulating people. I've been conned before, although not in toys, but in comics and cards (several years ago)

    Well, "yub yub" to you! I actually make use of Utinni! as part of my daily speech! :D

    If you have friends in Australia or are going there, I suggest you get your SW toys from there. Figures are selling for about AUS$14.95 each, and all the sought-after figures are easier to find there. My cousin juz brought back 4 preview Clone troopers and 2 preview Jangos for me.

    Sightings of cheap EP1 n POTF figures tell me. Many Thanx. Taka is worth trying. I even saw 2 han solo which is supposed to be rare hiding very deeply inside. Sob no chewie.

    For those new collectors coming into the scene, a little piece of info :

    Hourstor = Action City (Heeren) = Action City (Bugis - one with the 1:1 Stormtrooper).

    They run under the same management.

    For newer release figs, you can get them for $17.9 from the mentioned store but for Hottie (u know which ones), they still sells at $20 - $25 as a singular piece. Unless you buy the whole wave of sometimes 5 or 6 figs, it will equate to $17.9 each.

    For older SW stuffs, Hourstor sells at a premium. If you want to backtrack some older SW Stuffs, I would recommend local auction sites like InterAuct.com.sg or Singnet Classified where collectors sell their stuffs at a cheaper price (and can bargain some more). I got my SAGA Clonetrooper and Sneak preview Jango from Singnet Classified for $18 each. But you have to visit the site often so as not to let good stuffs slip by :)

    Yes, they're under same management.

    But for better values (BARGAINS!!!!) and latest Star Wars shipment, go to Hourstor Clark Quay on Sunday 10am!

    Their boss Tong Hong is a very nice guy, always help me complete my clooection!

    Cool! ;)

    Chewie is a "short packed" figure ie in a case of 12, there maybe only 1 chewie. I suppose Hourstor will sell Chewie at $17.9 if you buy the whole wave that comes with it. Example, you have to get Han + Chewie + Jango + Orn Free Taa + Dexter + Obi Wan Pilot all 6 figs at $107.4 which one fig becomes $17.9 - only in a wave set. I'm quite sure they don't sell a precious fig like this one at $17.9. To list my past knowledge on HS pricing on SW :

    1. POTJ Sandtrooper - $25
    2. FF Death Star Trooper - $35
    3. EU Mara Jade - $45 ++
    4. EPI Swamp JarJar - $25
    5. POTJ Scout Trooper Dirty - $20 (I think)
    6. etc etc

    To be fair, these pricing are pretty much the same in all specialty shops in Singapore. I only seen once the POTJ Sandtrooper going for $20 but I still think its too expensive... well the POTJ series are in general - expensives :(

    Now that Humsupfett brought it up, I am still looking for an EU Mara Jade, which I've always wanted to get. Anyone know where to find?

    I have only seen the Spacetrooper at eBay.sg now. Mara Jade, as the most treasured EU Figure, was sold last week as a set on eBay.

    Come to think of it, I'm looking for EU Dark Jedi Luke too, just a spare so I can open my current one for costuming needs. ;) Notice that this figure got the wrong blade color (compared to DE cover and inside the comic?) and as a result, pictures of it published on the Magazine covers were change from green to red later. :eek:

    Virus Collection may be the culprit behind $50 Vader & Luke. It's on their Website. :(

    For EU, I only gotten Dark Jedi Luke and 2 Sentinels (aka Byss' Royal Guard ;) ). Regrete not buying Mara Jade then. :_|
