Elgee in Aussie land the shipping charges would kill already. hahaha. Anyway its not just batmobile. I mean its everything. Like C6R, DD whatever that is deemed popular. Its crazy right? When something you need like food rice or sugar, when its hoarded and resold only by 1 major dealer, die die also we find who is the culprit. The logic is there. Of course it not corect to compare necessity and wants. But the idea is, when something as simple as toys being resold higher priced by individuals that causes artificial shortages. The even harder part for me to accept is, these people are not shops. If they are running under a banner, at least it is acceptable because i can relate you want stock for yourself to be more competitive than the other shops. But they do it for only reasons i can comprehend that is based on the bad side of human being. Say i'm wrong. I'll would gladly treat myself to a suffering by a T-800 without pain killer. UCB over here we only have crows la. hahaha. webwhy - Haaaa....... that would soon be here. Its a promise. But it won't be be me. Because i'm venting it out here. It would be done by those who are keeping it inside. The video is a first. Believe me, it would get worse later on.

If they hoard few boxes i don't mind. But don't la hoard only specific models. Like the 09 batmobile cannot see one on the peg also!!! Since early this year!! And then only can see people here putting up 10 or more of the same car! Bangang liao! Its a weird kind of deprivement. Robbery in a different way. Oh well, maybe i should spend more time cycling.

Well i have already gone over what you guys have against insiders, blah blah. Py, hahaha! No la joking only. Still i dislike how some people here when they hoard a lot they resell back to members with "transport charges". If they are indeed means well, why the charges? They should only hunt for themselves. Unless they are so lonely they need those cars to be popular. Sad isn't it?

Aiyaaa..... all this greed card issue. Even if the cars available on the pegs, how many would there be needed that can be enough for all? 1 place stocks up 5 box Each box may or not may not contain a green card. Even then what are any single chances of landing one? And whats worse, there are people who make it their prerogative to use a whole day in the whole week to find cars when new stocks are confirmed. what are the chances? You wanna earn those green cards? Shift to some kampung style towns. Sure can land one. Unless that kampung have collector then hard luck la. Then i wanna ask you guys nicely la. If i buy from a guy who hoard these cars, can i have them for RM4.50, RM5.90 or RM6.50? And then you have to "kow tow" at them for their excuse that they use their effort to find them and must be rewarded?! Not talking about shipping fees. Smiling in front holding a knife at the back.

I don't think i support races as much as i support drivers. But i like underdog and up and coming teams. Like last years Brawn. This year i think Virgin is in a better position to be in front of Lotus. But then again if i want to support underdog this year, it has to be Red Bull. They are off the radar for most people when they are close to winning.

Actually nothnig to do with economics. Didn't you all hear the news yesterday? Heard in TV3. This is the article few months front. http://www.hktdc.com/info/vp/a/tsg/en/1/6/1/1X06CCQA/Toys---Sporting-Goods/New-Malaysian-Toy-Safety-Requirements.htm This news was few months ago. One of my customers actually dumped all their toys imported from China for their sales because in order to comply you need to send every model to be checked by Sirim. And i overheard it cost 4 figures to get each complied. I thought it only affected toys made from China. But then every toy made everywhere is affected. So now you know why the cars are getting expensive! And i believe Mattel must submit every model from their mainlines range to get the certification. So if they have 300 cars this year times 4 figures..... you do the math. Now for HW it is considered still ok for some. But for tomica collectors would be the worst. I think near RM15 for a basic car. And the TL series, mampus RM30 bucks each.
