Where exactly is this Little India METRO??
I am unabla to locate the METRO store

Sorry, actual name is City Square. I kept forgetting that name.
Nearest MRT station is Farrer Park. It's just opposite the station. Walking distance.

Metro City Square is located at Singapore's first eco-mall, City Square Mall. The latter is along Kitchener Road after Mustafa Centre. As mentioned earlier, the mall is less than 3-5mins walk from Farrer Park mrt along NEL. Metro toys department is located on level 3.
As at 8pm Earth time, there are still about 30 boxes of TLC x-wings waiting for owners. therefore, consider yourself really 'suay' if you cannot get a vehicle by the end of the weekend. Do note that there are actually two stacks of x-wings at Metro. One stack at the sw rack and the other is at Metro level 3 entrance. Do not despair if you do see them at first.
It was a good thing that the box came with a transparent covering. If one studies the vehicle's scuplt and paint carefully, one would realise that its sub-standard. Low value for money. One would have to see for oneself how lousy the x-wing, wedge figure and droid are. Frankly, if not for that fact that it was a sw x-wing, most of us would not even bother to bring it home.
Don't believe? Do go buy one and measure your satisfaction index after that. Happy toy-hunting!!!

Whoa serious on the Metro Sengkang supplies? I guess they re-stock the next day! Tricked me there into kanchiong-ness!
Anyway, its true about the box condition...its crushed (the one I got from MSK)! And true too on the quality of the xwing & figurines inside!
Anyway, I just purchased the TRU exclusive Republic Gunship (the one that has fully closed doors & rocket boosters at the top) through a friend. Its not in Sg...YET...been a while already but still no news.
And anyone has news on the gunship turret battlepack thingy??? Any left in SG? Need 2 of those.

Please beware of this seller redthumb, who cancelled by bid for the SAGA Dagobah X-Wing on ebay.com.sg without any logical explanation or reason given.
