Hi Guys,
Just want to share with you, and ask your opinion if I get a good deal for these robots I bought in Singapore, courtesy of NG's and Vincent's Toy collection:
A. SOC GX-13 Dancouga I bought for SGD260.00, approximately PHP7800
B. Aoshima Black Version Shin Getter 1 I bought for SGD190.00, approximately PHP5700
C. Aoshima or Miracle House Neo Getter 1 (Normal Colour) I bought for SGD140.00, approximately PHP4200
I am not too familiar with the prices locally. And I have to admit that I really panic when I saw the huge selection of chogokins there for sale in different toy stores in Singapore. I immediately grabbed the ones I really liked.
Thanks and hope to hear from you guys.
(PS - Sorry I don't know how to attach photos here)

SOC GX-13 - excellent price; originally came out at about P10,500 locally, IIRC
Aoshima Black Getter / Neo Getter - very good; originally came out at about P6,500, IIRC

Thanks and hope to hear from you guys. (PS - Sorry I don't know how to attach photos here) Nice prices for great SOCs you acquired there Kenichi. A Dancougar at that price is a-ok. Considering that the first version's price really skyrocketed already. The reissue cost b/w 8-9k when it first reappeared , and I think some are selling it @ 10k nowadays. A Black Version Shingetter (Aoshima) priced at 5.7k is also a good catch. Is this the version with double axes. Now, an Aoshima Neo Getter (Orig color) @ 4.2k is a very, very good catch. When it first appeared , it cost in b/w 5-6k and a reissue coming out this October is being pre-ordered @ a price of 6k. Congrats for a triumphant toy hunting back in Singapore... You caught a lot of fat SOCs at a good price at that. OT: Oh, am really, really sorry, I was not able to reply to your query regarding the SOC gunbuster.... My cell at that time's having some erratic problem (presently, it's down... damaged ribbon) Again congrats!!!! Better get ready for the incoming weathering version of the Closed wing Shingetter by Aoshima, preorder price: inb/w 5.5 to 6.5k ;D.

Hi Wingseyemd, great to hear from you again. Thanks for your inpouts on the SOC's i got. Really makes feel good... Guess what, I just got today my SG-01 Normal Colour-Red Wing Mazinkaiser, courtesy of PT... Really Beautiful... In singapore with Uncle NG's it was only P4500.though it was black wing But I really wanted a red wing, so I grabbed it this afternoon for P6500. Soo happy I have now Mazinkaiser. You're right, better get ready for next Getters... Thanks... ;D PS - By the way, what does weathering mean?

IMO ....think u got d best deal in SG...and dont worry Ken....Uncle NG's is almost the best dealer of chogokins here in Singapore.....i should know 'coz i bought my Voltes V from him!!! Uncle NG's is a great man...he could even give u further discounts....but sometimes limited 'coz some shops may get angry 'coz of the competition w/ other toy shop within....
@ jeeg: if ur in Singapore...do visit China Square Center....near China Town....nice place to visit specially on a sunday!!!

Hi jeeg448 and mojacko, Indeed mojacko is right, the best place in singapore to hunt for chogokins is china square central. I am lucky its close to the hotel where I stayed. I would highly recommend NG's (2nd flr) and Vincent's Toy shops (1st flr). Mr. Ng is good man and met him met personally. He gave very good discount on my GX-13 Dancouga, and further discount on the Aoshima Mazinkaiser Im supposed to get, but ran out of cash. Vincent on the other hand is very friendly have other hard to find chogokins available. Both gave further discounts if you pay cash. And yes, competition there is tough. I even saw a very hard to get GX-04S Grendizer set for SGD320 at another store. Thanks guys...

" weathering " means...... instead of a single colored body parts there'll be a lil hue of shading.. Ex: the body will be coloured a lil bit of red with a lil tinge of darker red... meaning the color will be a bit mixed.... a touch of shading If the info that leaked is true, the upcoming closed wing weathering shingetter will be having the best features of all the previously released shingetters... a pair of white open wings, a pair of black devil wings, an additional scythe aside from the axe.Now, that's almost complete except for the glow in the dark mecha parts feature of the devil winged shingetter, which will make it a PERFECT shingetter version .
