It has been more than 6 months since the Iron Man 2 movie was screened in our local cinemas.  We are now at the tail end of its toyline being sold in Singapore departmental stores.  By this coming Christmas or earlier, the remaining unsold Iron Man 2 toys will end up in clearance sales, like the 2009 G.I.Joe movie toys that went before them.

Even though the movie craze has long been over, there are still some more waves of Iron Man 2 movie action figures (3.75 inch in height) to be released by Hasbro at mass retail before this toyline finally ends its retail run.  Wave 6 (seen above) of the Movie series contains both new and repeated figures from earlier waves. 

If you collect these toys, be on the lookout from now till January 2011 for clearance sales to take place to get hold of the figures you want, before they disappear from the mass retail scene forever!

Happy Iron Man 2 movie toys collecting!

Fellow toy blogger astrogalaxy has compiled a very useful list of departmental stores and toy shops in Singapore that sell lots of LEGO sets.  This is fantastic information for both LEGO collectors and the casual LEGO buyers.  Thank you very much astrogalaxy for your wonderful contribution!

Speaking of LEGO, a fabulous local blog with lots of updated information about the latest LEGO products and about general LEGO info from around the world, is A Modular Life.  Thank you very much Erica for your constant updated LEGO news and interesting information!

Following my earlier blog post on part 1 of the same topic, here are the photos of my latest Transformers movie toys that I acquired recently from a stall at the SCAPE Bazaar about 2 Saturdays ago.  My apologies if the closed up photos look a little blurry…

Note that the license plate deco at his waist is painted white at the middle section only.  The side 2 sections are not painted…

Note that the rear lights are NOT painted red for this figure.  I happened to have some red stickers which I cut to fit into those light slots!

The brownish splashes on the toy are painted on to resemble mud or sand stains, plus some silver “scratch” marks across the door.

The car mode photos for Bumblebee are coming up soon!

Some notable departmental stores that having sales (at least 20% store wide discounts) during this Deepavali long weekend (from 4 Nov to 7 Nov 2010) are OG, Metro and Takashimaya!  These stores have already marked down most of their Transformers movie toys to clearance prices, while Toy ‘R’ Us (TRU) has started its year end Star Card members’ sale for the school holidays and Christmas.  The TRU sale for their Star Card members will last from Nov to Dec 2010.  So hurry now to your nearest departmental stores now to grab the toys that you’ve eyeing, while the good condition stocks last!  Happy toys shopping!

Recently, I picked up a loose piece each of Transformers Hunt for the Decepticons (HFTD) “Rampage among the Ruins” (RATR) Deluxe Ravage and Deluxe Bumblebee toys (see above).  They were bought from a stall at the bazaar held at the atrium of SCAPE 2 Saturdays ago. 

The seller bought the RATR 3 pack from overseas just for RATR Deluxe Rampage toy and didn’t want the other 2 figures.  Hence I was happy to buy them from him!  It was a chance encounter of the place for me.  With that, I possibly became one of the first handful of collectors in Singapore to own a RATR Deluxe Ravage toy! 

Well I was distracted by the near loss of my blog last week to be in any great mood to blog about my RATR find, and when I finally resolved that matter, I had to re-blog a couple of the latest postings that were lost after the blog restoration had been done. 

Photos for both my RATR Deluxe Ravage and Deluxe Bumblebee will be posted here soon.  Be back soon to view them!
