Leading into the Overdrive Finale...

It has come to this time of the year again! And in just 2 more episodes, we will be seeing the finale of Operation Overdrive.

The only thing people are anticipating is the Toy Clearance! Seriously, Operation Overdrive is as screwed up as Mystic Force, if not worst. DX DriveMax Megazord is already reduced to S$79.95 and all other regular items at 20% off.

Yea! *Hoping for S$5.00 figures and S$25.00 Megazords!*

By the way, who knows if the DX Battlefleet Megazord released is a repackage of DX DaiVoyager since it is manufactured by Bandai Asia, and not the direct-import U.S. Window Box.

Shinken-Oh 天下統一!

SERIOUSLY hard to track this set down! I didn't expect the series to be so popular that I had to check out more than 5 stores to get on my hands on them! ... Suntec City's Toy Room and Simply Toys, Century Square's Comics Connection, Wheelock Place's Dollz Inc, Plaza Singapura's Comics Connection and Action City ...

Finally, my brother managed to spot it (the only set) at Ng's Collections when I am thinking of getting DX Tora Origami. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger has been treated with overwhelming responses, globally and locally alike, with toys constantly running out of stock not just limited to the Deluxe Mecha! Almost everything is sold out!

Back to the Candy Toy, the extensive articulation points are the major highlights and also further playability and flexibility. Well, it also serves as an alternative to my previous DX Shinken-Oh (which I should put dearly in the box), and I EMPHASIZE: ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION costing me S$115! So, a million thanks to my bro for getting me this set!

Retailing at S$8.00 each (S$32.00 for the whole set of 4) due to inflation against the Japanese Yen, and GOOD LUCK finding them!

*Update: Just found out that Comics Connection is selling at S$7.50 each (S$30.00 for 4)*

Engine Sentai Go-Onger Candy Toy Engine Keychains

Was at Tampines 1 today, and noticed that there is quite a selection of Bandai Candy Toys at Yamakawa Super. Afterall, Yamakawa is the local importing company of Bandai Candy Toys so it's not too surprising.

Again, more Engine Sentai Go-Onger Candy Toys including the Engine Daishogun! All these should have already be released in Singapore last year! The downside is again the price inflation against the Japanese Yen which makes the importing more expensive... I only managed to score myself a Birca Keychain for S$4.00 (should have been S$3.00 in the past) because I had been spending too much money recently.

Hopefully, I will be able to get the rest of the Engines soon!

Engine Sentai Go-Onger HEROX

Thought they were very cute when the picture was advertised back then, and didn't think I was able to get them in Singapore, except through the online route. Surprisingly, Toy Room @ Suntec only had them recently which is actually pretty late...

Unfortunately, they came in random assortments and you wouldn't know which one you've got until you open the box. That sucks, seriously and the PRICE TAG was S$9.95 each!

Super Expensive! Anyway, I went ahead and got myself one and it turns out to be Ren (Go-OnBlue)... I was hoping to get Sosuke (Go-OnRed) because he looks cuter. Haha. *Waste of Money $*

Inspired after watching repeats of Power Rangers Mystic Force on TV today! LoL~

Samurai Gattai Series 01 DX Kabuto Origami & 02 DX Kajiki Origami

Plenty of stock to go around this time for the Bandai Asia (Hong Kong) Licensed shipment. No DX Shinken-Oh in sight though.

Ng's Collections was in chaos today, hahah, means good business for Uncle. I just went in, grab two boxes (made sure they are in good condition), paid and went off. Not forgetting to make my presence known to the Uncle... LoL~

So, I got them for S$60.00 (S$30.00 each); the Bandai Asia (Hong Kong) Licensed ones that is. The Japanese Versions were long sold out due to the limited quantity imported which started this year because of the recession. They were S$35.00 each... Sounds like a great deal right? Just S$5 more for each and I would be able to own the "superior" Japanese Versions?!

Oh well, I couldn't care less for these Auxiliary Origami and these Hong Kong Licensed are just fine. Perhaps I can spend the S$10 difference on food instead.

25% Inflation

Bought this Candy Toy Raiden Hidden Disk #8 for S$7.50 at Comics Connection today. Actually, I don't really know why I bought it...LoL~

Candy Toys of 300 Yen used to sell for S$6.00 here in Singapore. As you know, it's the damn economic recession again, so those collecting candy toys will be having a harder time as well.
