Already anticipated such price increase since last year. Too many factors already indicate a lot of stuff price increase. Food, house, car maintenance, blah blah. And already lazy to bitch about the price, the waves, the scalpers, crazy company policies, government imposed laws, blah blah. Really getting tired of complaining. I would gladly say, these factors drove me off the cliff, push me off the wall..., whatever. I'm still on Matchbox though. Even then, i'm sure eventually i would stop them.

Inevitable. Last year since November when 2011 wave hit, already have to decide stop or go in collecting. Decide to stop 90%. Since completing what i want in 2010 list just this last month. No more go. Nada. I still do buy few loose cars. But not what i used to collect and take more than 10 carded cars in a month. 20 or more if you count the other brands. Serious money then.

Mattel is in the business of making money just like any other company. If eventually they cannot even reach 1% of sales target, they can just pull HW in Malaysia market and put it in another country. We can rant and rant all we want. There will never be a face to tell us why. Not like how there is a face in TV telling us chicken, chili, eggs and rice price increase.

Anyway our right on voicing price concerns only valid in necessity. We have kementrian to regulate that. The right to voice out on toys covers up till safety and quality. Not price.

Guess he is trying to say that Vipers are as common as Gen 2 here.....

And Mr Chana, whose religious sect has 4,00 members

Just as suspected. A sect clan. He will marry girls which accept his charm in the sect. I have seen a few TV shows that mentions this, Criminal Minds, CSI, blah blah. Any investigative show that has secret sect leaders doing unthinkable stuff. We all know its true. Also i have heard that some bomoh also has married a lot of people when they come to medicate with him.

This Porsche 914 is different model i think. The normal 914 don't have -6 after the name. But must see only know la.

I just noticed the rear wing. They used the rally car cast.

Sure going to cost a cool moolah. Few years ago cost a lot already.

I think HWC member Pamendran also has his stuff right? I remember him posting images of some of the cars before.

On the way back from my school in a van, I saw this Alpine White BMW M5 trailing behind and going past us. I looked at the car like I'm looking at a girl. When the car going past us, it made this pleasure-seeking noise!

Then this lad said to me ''I can see that car everyday, almost everybody have that car'' - then I said ''No, that thing is something special!'' - he said ''What's special about it?'' - I said ''It's an M5, it has a V10 engine producing 507HP. Not everybody can drive it, and it's rare in Malaysia'' - later that lad said ''WTF are you talking about?!?''. Facepalm is my only reply.

Whow... Sometimes I do feel a bit dissapointed when they're not appreciating these piece of engineering. But what can I say, they have no interest.....

Because the kid can detect add on M5 kit.

When i first read books like this the front guide is great and the description about the years, makes, brands, blah blah. But after all that, its prices, prices, prices. Which reminds me of some comics price guide when i was collecting comics. I hate the price guide. Mint, near Mint, blah blah. And the stuff i want to read only 20 pages. The rest 100 pages all is prices. eventually now it reminds me of Motor Trader for HW. hahahaha.

Never see before.... So dun care. hahahah
