I've called Paragon Metro to ask abt the CTT.
They said jus sold out yesterday!

[hunter]

at such a discounted price...wouldnt the toy specialist shops start to lower theirs to match retail?

[ant]

Anybody can advise if theres a chance that CTT may have clearance; drop even further than 144 in future?
Seems like this item is selling very well at the moment..

After that, Jabba went over Takashimaya, jus across Paragon. Lots of hasbro items jus arrived yesterday at Taka.

I think specialist shop already sold out this item before retail are selling them.

a possible reduction or matching retail for the most well known and established store in spore?

[masteryoyo]

based on past experience for bigger vehicles such as bmf and atte, typical price reduction after one year from launch is about 30-35% off the retail price (i.e. bmf from $340 to $220 and atte from $220 to $150)

currently, ctt (cloen turbo tank) retails at $180. With a 35% discount (one year later), price would fall to $117. however, with 20% discounts around festive seasons e.g. national day, xmas, ctt would retail at $144.

masteryoyo believes that big vehicles such as ctt, $144 is a reasonable and affordable price point (compare atat at $168 and imperial shuttle $120). Therefore, most sw collectors would grab the ctt at this price.

unless there are large inventories of ctt, it is unlikely that the price would drop to $117 because most of the ttc stock would already have been cleared at $144 soon or later.

of course, this is only one view. masteryoyo is always happy when toys become cheaper and certainly hopes so that this appiles to ctt as well Take a chance, if we must!!!

pray pray pray.. pray hasbro singapore overstocks again and no one from their company is reading this.. L O L and we will end up like b-wing and y-wings... x3 a fleet of turbo tanks~! and a squadron of x-wings x3

[masteryoyo]

TRU vivo has 12 boxes of CTT

[ant]

Just happen that i was at paragon, just trying my luck to see if there are any stuff to grab in metro. Suprise that they have restock the CTT!

They had around 10 boxes in stock. Some are reserved. Anybody want it can go grab it tml with d 20% discount... got myself one..

[heavyarms]

Today went to og pp and orchard. saw many places selling Clone turbo tank. Deluxe vehicles also restock at many places.
I hope to find x-wing but cannot find.

patience..........for that is a virtue of the jedi...........

[jenki]

they will be re-release again at a later date

[masteryoyo]

masteryoyo must learn to be patient too. based on historical data, prices almost certainly drop for most figures and vehicles over time (sometimes even to ridiculously low prices). US just reported significant price drops for battle packs such as TCW Jabba's Palace and TLC Jedi vs Sidious.

Patience, my fellow collectors!!!
