interesting suggestion.... but perhaps the reason nobody noticed is because it is actually spelt Kotobu-k-i-y-a 8)
I stand corrected, but...uh oh, Dranoel, now you're being really vulgar in Malay. naughty, naughty.
:shock: :shock: :wink: :wink:
:?: Don't know Malay, but don't see how I'm being "vulgar" when the Kotobukiya is spelt the way it is above.

Anyway, I'm sure if we take any word and mutate the spelling a little, then run it by every existing language... you are bound to find alternative meanings in those other languages. So just don't try too hard... leave foreign words as they are..... and most importantly.... just enjoy Star Wars :P

I reserved 2 from TFH. I like it. Though its only a repaint of the 501st Legion Clone Trooper, it still looks good. :)

Kotobukiya Shocktrooper - US$94.99
Shipping to my friend - US$10.95
Getting my friend to bring it back for me - Free

Do not have to pay inflated prices to buy from local toyshop - Priceless!

Wow, S$220... that's really expensive compare to standard 501st Division which is almost twice cheaper. I really dunno should I get this limited Shocktrooper and abandon 501st Division, coz its like, i ain't working and a student, really in doubt. Should I, or should I not... sigh.

Buy 2.

Later when the price skyrockets, sell one to offset the price of the other.

In other words, be a scalper...he he he :lol:

Yes i heard of this theory, the business method, but, aren't you ppl hating scalpers? then become a scalper?... lol, i ain't against this plan, but somehow it just is contradicting? lol... i dun mind getting both though, but have to talk to my angry parents first, i dunno, btw how many reservations does TFH have? and is tt the only shop importing?
