netmatrix 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Since many are waiting or bored wating for the new cars to arrive, what say i spice this place up a little. As the title says, What if 09' cars never arrive at all? If it could be due to Mattel does not want to sell Hot Wheels here anymore but only playsets and Barbie! Or maybe the toys are being banned here. Or maybe shipment is priority for overseas market first? What would you guys do? source from E-bay, drive all the way to Singapore to buy, print out the 09 poster and cry like a baby, or what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paanjang16 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Mattel's loss, as I will be spending my money on Tomicas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netmatrix 0 Posted January 15, 2009 Mattel would still be selling track sets and those assorted barbie and girly dolls, which is a big money spinner. hahaha. I won't spend on tomicas. I find Tomy doesn't spend effort to design wheels for their cars. And most of the time, the cars are badly made. The paint especially. But the saving grace is you get all the Japanese models, unlike HW. Still on my side, if 09' collection don't come, then i don;t need to spend time at toy sections and more money to be saved. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netmatrix 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Made in Malaysia doesn't mean they HAVE to market it here. Overseas is much more lucarative. And i'm sure Mattel is facing similar problems like Epson where "For malaysia" market stuff is being sold overseas at a higher price by certain irresponsible individuals.
