why so expensive (3-4x listed price) in singapore?
why are the SW toys so expensive here? Take for example V-Wing which is listed at US$19.99 on Hasbro website but retailing at S$99+ at TRU. Surely shipping cannot cost that much plus retailaers dont pay listed price for their stock, they would pay a lower price.
hasnt anyone organized bulk shipping direct for the US for the SW toys so we can get them at reasonable prices instead of paying the super inflated margins to the greedy (the nth power) retailers in s'pore?
which are the most reasonable places to go to?
btw, what shop is csc? where are they at? new to this forum and want to be able to place reputation against shops.

Welcome to the forum, stinkybear.
Let's keep this thread focused on merchandise alerts
You may want to start a separate thread for discussion, but some quick answers to your questions as follows:
-- CSC is China Square Central, where there are a few toy shops, and there is a flea market every Sunday.
-- I believe the 2 V-Wing you compared are actually different products. The more expensive one is marketed as an exclusive and comes with a figure packed in.
Sounds like you are new to the collecting scene and not just our forum, you might want to introduce yourself here:
