Courtesy of 2005 Boards member prime roller we can share for you some great images of the recent Transformers Promotional And Sales Event In Taipei.
The event is happening at the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi (新光三越) in Xinyi (信義區), building A8, level B1 at the bottom of the big spiral slide. As we can see from the pictures, this a very nice and family-friendly event, starting with a cool Bumblebee statue at the entrance, several Bumblebee movie areas, games and spaced for kids to play with the toys. You can even win toys from a Bumblebee grab machine!
But there’s more. Big cabinets with toys for display were a great attraction too. We can spot Movie Masterpiece toys, Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters and other related merchandising, War For Cybertron: Siege first waves, Botbots, and Studio Series toys including the newest releases like DOTM Megatron, Jetfire, Bonecrusher, WWII Bumblebee among others.
To top it all, shelves were full of ready-to-buy toys for the assistants. You could buy Power Of The Prime figures, Masterpiece Movie, Cyberverse, Energon Igniters and even items like the G-Shock X Transformers Master Optimus Prime Resonant, SS-20 Retro Pop Highway pack, and some G1 reissues like Hot Rod and the recently revealed G1 Optimus Prime (without trailer). Optimus’ box seems almost the same size as Hot Rod’s.
Check out all the mirrored images attached to this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

The wife. She’s quite great at indulging my hobby — enjoys me enjoying it. We often use Transformers stuff as an excuse to go out around.

Went back to the sale today. Can answer a few questions now.
Got a better pic of it now. It’s a wrap that goes all the way around the post. The other sides are pretty plain:

Awesome stuff man, thanks for the pictures. Did you see how much they were charging for the reissue Optimus Prime?
Also, do you know until when they're holding the promo event?

Awesome display! How much is regular retail for leader class in TW?

There is a very unimpressed man on a phone behind the SS sales display.
It's really impressive seeing that much Siege product available at one time.

Oh, nope, sorry, didn’t get a better picture of that poster.
And everything in the glass displays, except Siege Shockwave and Ultra Magnus I believe, was available for sale.
