Transformers Exclusive G1 Bathing Ape (BAPE) Convoy

Update: Here's my video of the BAPE Convoy Grey Camo! Click Here

Transformers Exclusive Bathing Ape (BAPE) G1 Optimus Prime (Convoy)missed out on the first BAPE convoy months ago...that was the green version.

When i heard that a second grey version is going to be released, i told myself to make an effort to get this piece.

Days go, i was at Mandarin Gallery, so dropped by BAPE store to enquire...16 April 2012 11:00hrs is the date and time of release...how many pieces is unknown....

Come 16 April 2012, woke up at 05:45hrs and made my way with a friend to go down to Orchard to queue for it. Was there at about 06:15hrs. There was about 16 people already in the Q...The first 2 is a couple which i believe to have started queuing the night before....after acquiring the BAPE convoy, they listed the item on ebay...here...at a cutthroat price!! this piece is only at S$139.90...don't sucuumb to scalpers!! they had the first 2 pieces then re-queued fopr more!

Back to the toy itself, this is a very nice piece...for collectors in other parts of the world which has not seen this release, i recommend getting this when it debut in your country. turn out that Singapore BAPE store managed to bring in 80 pieces instead of 8 (like the first green version)....
