Chance purchased 2 WIRELESS contoller pads for PS2 at JB Holiday Plaza.
One featuring Yoda picture on the handheld [Yoda green all over] and the other Darth Vader pic with detail on the helmet of Anakin & Obi-wan lightsaber dueling [black all over with silver motif].
RM80 each
YAHOOOO............works really well with the console...........HAH, HAH, HAH!!!! GOT PICS

Come and think of it, there seems to be less SW related stuff this year? No Pepsi, MRT Souvenir set.....that's all I can think of at the moment.....Would have loved to complete the MRT set though.....

Yeah you are right didn't see star wars images on drink cans like some years back on Pepsi, Coca cola, Sprite / 7-Up - thought I had collected some

There were also on mugs from fast food chains
Alamak, maybe the char bor lang threw them away or maybe up in kitchen cabinet...must check.
Yah, I have the MRT cards for Phantom Menace.
Eh what's happening? If Singpost can do something for Polar Express, strange they gave a miss on SW ROTS.

But I did see Bossini selling the T-shirts and then you can buy the bounce-back punch bag with Darth Vader picture.

Will keep my eyes open for such. Especially the watches which I know is on sale for $100 at TFH.

But so sad I cannot show the pictures of the limited edition control pads.

Finally managed to put the pics in!!
Check out my first post here - PS2 wireless control pads.
BTW, saw a game shop [same level as MPH bookstore] at Parkway Parade selling the Vader version at about SGD 80/=.
Indeed my lucky find in JB.

there was an article in the New Paper recently about the SW controllers. The guy who usually reviews IT stuff for TNP said its a good buy because its professionally made and of good quality. I remember him listing the price at S$64 or S$65. how much did you pay for yours masterjamous?

Yes Commander Appo, the finish of the pads looks great & feels solid. Colours are true. Looks every bit the high quality & grips good too.
Best thing is NO MORE WIRES!!!! No need to sit too close to tele or monitor, 5 metres away still no problem.

But of course, to keep it in good condition, all the usual precautions in handling applies. So don't drop or bump the pads too many times, preferably never.

Paid ringgit 80.00 per limited edition pads, conversion rate at that time was about 2.3, which works out to SGD 35.00 each. YAHOOOO.....again n again !!!
Wondering if other designs available.

Do read my first posting in this same thread.

It's a celebration ! Rare bargain !
