Why????????????????????????????????????
undercoverbrother replied to Peter1's topic in HW Discussions
Wow the rest already gave good answers for Peter's question so nothing much i could add lol. Firstly personally think 'complaining' is all good as long as it brings healthy discussion like this. Only when ppl insist only he knows best everyone else opinions is wrong then it's not pretty. As for the questions, I'll make it short and simple this time.. Less produced - All intentional. To bring the 'hype' for collectors to chase for. Less in Malaysia - Need to be more specific. Less other HW series? Mattel is studying what they could release here, and our steady support definitely helps their decision. Less mainline car? If costly to produce naturally will be less, and with their hype game certain models too are meant to be short run. But if you meant it less only in Malaysia and more in the other countries then it should be vice versa too, and that encourage international trades. Hot - Because of the hype. Kena sapu - Basic law of physics. Things very less out there definitely disappears fast. But if the issue is concerning hoardings, with growing numbers of scalpers 2nd party market (thanks to the hype) it's something collectors could never avoid. But the issue is how do you assess it, in most cases it's the rapidly growing number of fellow playaz that gives impression certain cars are wiped out single handedly. -

As for me.. i'm not concerned about giving back part, even if no teh ais in return it's all good. But what matters is how do you manage what you got / roak'ed. If you happen to find more the same, of course you could let go your extras whatever the price, but if you took from fellow collector at retail and resell 'em almost instantly to someone willing to offer much higher legally it's right cause it's yours but you should take note you will go home rm10-20 richer but no one be interested in dealing with you anymore. You should either resell it to the really needing it the exact price you got it, or return to the seller so he'll work his own deals, or the least is to keep the thing as long as you can before deciding to let it go at higher price, not getting rid of it very same day you got it.. it's like giving huge middle finger to the person who took trouble to hunt it and gave you.

INI SAYA PUNYA Location - Heading towards Banting Time - When everyone's sleepin' *Enters 7E and found at half empty Bone Shaker case on the floor* The 7e dude welcomed me to go through remaining of the case and he revealed something surprising.. "Saya pun collect Hotwheels jugak. Sorry lah model best semua dah reserve untuk sendiri" "Oh ye ke. Ah takpa no prob.." *Saw reg Bone Shaker inside that case still* "Huh?" "Abang dah simpan banyak keta lain yang 'hijau' ni takkan abang tak minat?" "Keta hijau? Oh itu pun saya ada ambil!" What! Oh no.. here's 1 reg here, another could be.. "Abang, boleh tak i saja nak tengok kereta-kereta lain abang dah pilih" "Oh ada lagi kat sini kejap ye nanti saya ambik.." He brought out not one but 2 HW filled plastics, complete with note written on it "INI SAYA PUNYA". "Nak tengok, tengok lah" He helped untied the plastic, went through it again and showed to me his not one, but two green cars... ..Green Nerve Hammer and Fast Gassin "..." -

NetMatrix's Acquisitions (Updated Pg.23) 22 Aug '10
undercoverbrother replied to netmatrix's topic in HW Hauls
DAMN! Anyway it's like that lah net, hunting season semua hyper of course me included. But i hope you get the point no places belongs to anyone nor anyone belong to anyone, which is why i had to add an ' ' on the word territories cause there's no such thing as 'collector territories'. On t-huntin' side it's same as usual playaz would focus on areas they're most familiar with (me didn't went Subang btw) but it's always about racing with each other i mean say you're trying hard to find Super but you know it's extremely hard so there's no other shortcut but to be earliest and visit as many outlets as possible that is just to increase odds of finding it, nothing else. Along the way yeah you may pick some cars and more regs but that's about it. So if ppl post here said "i went to 50 outlets" you know that doesn't sound anything like trying to prove something here, or whoever comes next is at their mercy.. after all in most cases it's not them but the next collector that somehow the one who scored the Super. That's just us saying "look i've tried this hard i could be lucky or unlucky but look at how many succeeded and it's totally random, so raided territory or not you guys definitely should go for it as well". Like pydrummer said playaz sometimes should be 'provoked' then they too would step up the game. Not good if misinterpreted these as bragging their efforts scores and whatnot. But that's bout T-Huntin' which don't think matters to you, about the seemingly fast disappearance of many hot models i guess that's something no one could avoid. It's just different type of collectors out there no matter hwcm or not. But at least things like this forum gets all of us in touch. Some people may not even be aware of this promotion on it's first day, and in worst case when certain parties really did those massive hoardings, there's always fellow playaz here to help each other out. -

For anyone wondering unfortunately undercover didn't manage to score any super this round, although he attempted countless 7e not sparing any within radius, and catched almost entirely cases virgin still. It's just these stores doesn't get the right case hehe. The odds of near 90 stores with zero super? I finally have to admit to demonicle's theory that my avatar is the main culprit.
