At singapore using the AYE expressway left hand side going towards Jurong there are loads of overstock p1 as far as the eye could see. Every Singaporean/Johorean can see this. Wira came out with limited edition Aerobacks. Limited Edition? of course it is. Limit is 5 million units? gimme a break. I dun understand why we have to put up with this. Singaporeans maybe kiasu but they get the quality they pay for. they would not settle for anything less than this load of kaka. So this is what p1 does with overstock.
