No sorry. I already dissected this when i joined up here. Its all about demands. And they simply ship cases everywhere. Makes you wonder how they access the demands. And the road shows are not handled by Mattel. Its outsourced to some company. And as usual i would say you will not get any answers here. Then this post will get deleted because i question admin. No one questions Mr Admin you hear?!?!?!

Now you get it. If you can custom anything that is worth mentioning, then you could set an agreeable price for it. Of course you can market it however if FK shoes did make a colaboration with local artist to relaunch their brand, why not? If this bling'ed up FK shoes a hit in Malaysia and some sneaker heads would definitely not pass up right? Like you have Kanye West making a LV sneaker. Now Kanye could have make the sneaker with FK shoes. But he has a rep to adhere to. Not that FK can pay him millions in royalties anyway right? hahaha Ps : Where you guys minum this Thursday? Today i'm at home feeling dizzy la. This whole month have been working hard to clear up work backlog. Its been hectic la. Cannot find time to hunt also.

How can it be simple when you start to put tampos on the newly painted car? And to think that most HW basic cars with flames stripes and images are simple? In fact for USD 99 i think it is cheap. Swarovski crystals aren't cheap you know? Unless you were thinking the car should cost the same as locally custom'ed ones, then i have nothing to say. If he puts up more workmanship on it, he could bump it up to USD 500? I still cannot agree that 40th anni is the numero uno of HW collecting. Its basically a bling'ed up Hw car. But people buy it because there is only 1. And you know how we all like limited edition kaw kaw stuff. If that were offered say 40 units each at USD 10000. But not diamonds but swarovski crystals. It would still be desirable right? What say if they did a cross over and a company like Poh Kong or Habib making a replica of it? What do you think of it then? Don't but because these companies are trying and not official? And this guy only made 1. Its not like he made hundreds of those. i mean i would buy it if the workmanship was better. Then i kill him just to bump up the price for resale just like other artist. hahaha.

Actually it is not fair to compare that totally handmade diamond car. The body is one off casted with precious metal. And then everything single piece of jewel is laid on. Unless you have seen how customizing any products with precious stones is done, the 40th anni diamond HW may or not may be a good quality product. Because we only see the pictures, it may not have a good craftsmanship as lets say a similarly hand laid handphone. Because its like you see the customs made by everyone here. You think its nice, but there are flaws here and there. Slapping a rubber wheel on the car does not make a Larry's garage car right? How come it is more easy to accept a simple custom like that than a harder one like working with precious stones on the body? Why are there 2 standards in the rating system?

Diamond dust is obtained when a diamond is cut. If you know a jeweller, you could get them. Last time there were gold dust too. But nowdays the re-harvest them back compared to how they dump it in the drain last time. Remember long time ago you read in newspapers that there were actually people mining for gold at the back drains of goldsmiths shops? It is actually an ok custom job. The bad thing is he never thought to skim down the body thinner to accommodate the thickened stainless steel and diamond parts. You could see he used some swarovski crystals near the engine bay and the lights. It would be worth it, if the workmanship is there. If he used ruby colored swarovskis, to match the diamonds, would be cool. But this is a better effort than the last one where a guy tried to sell 50 customs for 1 million dollars, by sticking other toys on HW cars.
