Post by: vatin on Mon, 02 December 2013, 10:46:43
Hi. I'm visiting Singapore soon and I learned that there is a Realforce distributor at Sim Lim Square mall. Do any of you happened to know the price listed? Thanks.

Would not recommend getting it in Singapore as the price ~$500 Singapore Dollars.

Thanks. I'll just forget about it. Having a courier ship from either elitekeyboard or from Japan to my house should even be cheaper. I'll just enjoy the city tour in Sing.

Apparently Leopold and HHKB are not distributed in Singapore anymore, according to the guys at Techdrome at Sim Lim Square. As in, there is no one distributing these brands here in SG. This is as of 1 month ago when I visited.

from your name, you're Turkish, right?

Why not ask your fellow Turks how to get a Topre? I don't think it would be any cheaper in Singapore. I've heard HHKB goes for $499SGD or $400USD.

Holy crap, I didn't know that! :-[ And I thought Jeremy tells me everything! Anyway, I understand they are trying to bring in some Poker II's, as well as the Ducky Yellow Ed.....very expensive though. I have my eyes on the MX Clear version, their listed price almost gave me a heart attack. I can prolly squeeze Jeremy a little for the very expensive MX Clear version. I believe Jokrik has reserved a DS3 Yellow Ed as well....he's from Indonesia.

Any idea when the Leopold FC660C is arriving in Singapore? Actually SGD $259 is not a bad price. Not as overpriced compared to the rest.

Just checked with XS. Earliest it will arrive is next year January. Got quoted between SGD $279 - $289. An interesting tidbit is that they will be bringing in a white version of the Leopold FC660C.

Yep, level 2, I think it's #02-21........you can try out a Thorpe there, but buying it is another matter.  I happen to have gotten a decent discount for it, that's why I'd gotten my Charcoal Gray HHKB 2 from them.....still on the expensive side though.

Yeah I really wouldn't recommend getting it from XS. Their prices are leaning heavily to the high side.
