Scalpers sure want to take advantage on those outlets which can sell 3 models for one RM 40 receipt. I see even aunties (maybe scalpers/ or scalpers wife) arguing with staff on TOC. Ada udang sebalik batu.

Im aiming for one set...if can get extra its a bonus. No need kancheong is cannot get 2nd wave at one go.

with the current demand, its hard to differentiate scalpers or or "genuine buyers trying to help friends buy".

Even we ourselves trying to argue /justify our way into getting more units on pretext of doing frens a favor might be labelled as scaplers in some forum far away.

I have big plans for my acquisition. hehe... somewhat transformers related. It is a revelation that this promotion offers 5 cars + 1 truck... which reminded me of a Transformers group of bad guys smile.gif

If im short of cars from 1st wave, I keep my fingers crossed for possible restock. Promotion till Feb 2013. I aint gonna succumb to scalpers price. Promotion still ongoing but they started early in garage sale and mudah.

Some ppl have alot of RM to spend...they can continue hoarding.

Yes, we can ask friends and office colleugues to help.

I find it amusing that some sellers will put in the reason of selling as "extra unit".

What? terbeli extra units and now have no choice but to sell them off? sweat.gif

if we're close knitted community.. scalpers will cease to exist. Simply dunt layan them and blacklist them. Its the desperation of some willing to pay premium ,resorting to scalper smiling happily to the bank. they will continue to live and surface again to make another hit in the future.

As a community.. we can easily swap and I bet 90% of us will get what we wanted internally.


Sometimes I wonder... for the cars.. its merely stickers +lego parts easily acquired through brinklink. And I heard some legofans dislike overuse of stickers anyway. Suddenly its being polybagged and promoted all over.. it became "sought after" like hot cakes.

My kid got me into it. "Daddy, I want yellow car, I want black car!" wink.gif Reminded me every day for the last week. "Daddy, remember to buy black car on the 29th, ok?" Called him to inform that I'd gotten all the cars and he said the loudest "THANK YOU!" that I've ever heard from him.

I've not gotten the case yet. No hurry. Don't think people wanna scalp the case? Minifigs are also still available due to the strict rule.
