Star Wars Early Bird Kit
I thought the SW early bird kits being offered locally for P450 was cheap, but boy was I wrong! I only got this for $30HKD which is roughly around P168 pesos only hehe! ;D Too bad I only got one though, I was planning to buy an extra set, but when I went back to the toyshop who had it, it was already out of stock! Easily one of my bargain finds seeing that this is also an exclusive set!
SW Imperial Throne Room Battle Pack, Already got one locally at GH but when i saw this tagged at $60 HKD which is roughly around P318 well... I didnt think twice, and just got my hands on it asap since its really a great armybuilder pack. I saw this before at Toyhelper Shop in mongkok, but I didn't check the price knowing that I don't need it since I already have one, when I went back again the second time, I didn't think I was able to buy anything noteworthy so I examined the pack, good thing though since that time I was able to notice the tag price! I asked if they had an extra set but they said its the last one already hehe, they must be putting it on clearance sale hence the unbelievable price!
Exclusive SW Ep.2 AOTC Commemorative Tin, for $100 only, P530 for the set, its really one of my good buys.. one of my main targets in HK was to find SW imperial troopers, but they were hard to find and expensive there, what I didn't expect was that I'd be able to amass my collection of Jedi figures! The prices for SW Jedi figures there was very good, and that comic shop in Sino Centre's 3rd floor was having a 50% off sale on all his SW items, I even saw a C3PO electronic talking figure carrycase for only around P1500 pesos, Geonosis Arena Battle pack for P1000 pesos and tie interceptor for P1200 but I didn't get them simply because I thought they were too big for me to bring home, plus I was planning on buying some SOCs so had to be careful not to splurge all the toy expense on Star Wars items..

Assorted SW figs, also got this on sale at that comic shop@Sino Centre's 3rd Floor. The VOTC figs were only $90 each while the TAC ones were going for only $40, the Asharad Hett Comic pack is a real steal at $45. and the Biker Scout is a euro card variant, I never thought I could still find a VOTC ANH han for a good price, too bad there weren't any other VOTC figs on display though..maybe next time!
Assorted TAC SW figs, Got this at SRP at CB branch TRU, dunno what the heck is going on, but they weren't displaying their SW figs! If i hadn't seen the TRU leaflets and inquired at their Rzone counter i would have missed them entirely, their sales staff said they have em and brought out four cases of TAC and i sifted through all of em and only got the ones i liked hehe.. man that was fun.. Roron Corobb is one per case btw..which is weird..I always thought he rocked even though Grievous whipped his @$$.. anyways they were also having a star wars promotion, buy 3 and get one free gift, which is a droid from that arc170 exclusive battle pack, weird thing though is that the red and blue droid only comes in a plastic baggy! Haha, hasbro factory surplus? ;D
SW POTF Landspeeder and POTJ Carbon Freezing Chamber Playset
Started collecting SW only last april, so had to back track on these items, good thing Toyzone Causeway Bay has lots of star wars vintage, the price aint really good..but after checking out the toyspots in HK, they're the only ones i saw who had em so i really had no choice and just got em, even though for that price I can already buy diecast japanese toy items hehe.. oh well..
