Have been a very busy past few weeks. Until no time to blog :P

Anyway, on the TF front, obtained Leader Class Brawl during the Raya week. Then this week obtained Deluxe Longarm (the tow truck that towed Bumblebee) and Barricade in different colors.

How I obtained Leader class Brawl is bothering on desperate and giving in to temptation.

It started on Friday when I brought my mom to the Gardens Mid Valley for her Raya Shopping treat. After lunch we parted to look for items which are of interest to each other. So i began my search around the entire Mid vally to look for.... transformers.

I started at Toys'R'us, found nothing there, continued to Jusco, only to have all the leader class toys snapped up when I arrive (ARRGGHH!!!), moved on to Metrojaya, then to Isetan and lastly to Robinsons. All came out fruitless. It is like a marathon mind you since Gardens+ Midvalley = very very long walk.

As I arrive home, Woon called to tell me that there was leader brawl at toy workers, a shop at subang Square. Cost around RM 195. But after the fruitless search at MV, I was too tired to get it.

Then late that night as I was on the Lowyat.net forums, someone posted that there is ALOT of Leader Brawls at Jusco sunway pyramid. He was there around 6pm, and no one seem to know there was a restock there.

Since it is like my second chance to get it, the next morning I went to Sunway pyramid to visit the jusco to buy the brawl.... the only problem was, it is the first day of raya and Jusco only opened at 1pm!!!!

So I balik and have lunch with family and then left the house around 1.30pm to go to pyramid. Parked my car and entered jusco around 2.15pm and lo and behold, there were 2 leader brawls there. It was as if there were waiting for me. I took one and immediately after that a family bought one for their son, less than half my age :P

Desperate? Crazy? Lucky? you decide. But leader brawl is too complex for a 5 year old. So do megatron. But since I bought it from Jusco I only spend RM 189.90. But the double trip to jusco cost me RM 6 = RM 3 * 2 times, so it turns out roughly the same price if I bought it from Toyworkers 24 hours before. Then there was a time so long ago when woon called that there were 6 brawls at Toys'R'us and he was getting one. Didn't buy that time since I wasn't desperate enough :P
