I think we can sue Tesco for this, is clearly not a Promosi Hebat, more like water fish come, i slaughter you. The Speedorz price are way more expensive than all the other retailer. I think TRU selling some of the Hero Factory at 44.90 also. . .

Actually it is 1 year plus minus 2-3 months. My income actually increased in the past 2 years or so that is why can afford to buy so much. It didn't help I bought 3 modulars last year to complete my modular collection (PS, TH, FB), then the PC this year.
As for check and balance, try not to overspend in the month after I overspend. Like last month spend more than 1k then this month must spend less or none at all. But small purchases like RM 100 extremis sea battle or RM 100 picit-picit spree can do a 1-2 times. Keep telling myself to save up for bigger sets this coming June July when the UCS X-Wing or Mobile crane is released.
I do not think we can do that since ALJ give Tesco the recommend retail price and it is up to Tesco to decide how much they want to sell. Lego isn't exactly a controlled item like rice etc. I have heard TRU in the US marking up prices and then discounting them but this is the first time I heard Tesco doing it.
Heck, I think Tesco has been doing this "Promosi hebat" scam for items other than Lego too, just that it that not so obvious since Lego is mostly sold at a fixed price all around M'sia.
Yes - I've seen prices of shelves that were on "Promosi Hebat" that went from RM 9.90 back to RM 29.90 or RM 39.90 then back down to RM 9.90 all within the span of a couple of months.

yes we are the consumers. we have every right to question the pricing they put and also their explanation behind it if its not accurate, we shld point it out.
i agree with ilfort, not many of us (even season collectors) knows the actual common retail price. if tesco says that is promotion prices, many will think it is

but then when i bring over to tag the items and it show lower. i will keep quiet and go pay

Who wouldn't?

Back to LEGO news, a small micro haul this morning. Met the seller at Amcorp mall this morning.
This is the first time I've gone there in a long time for LEGO stuff. Usually I stop by there for Hot Toys and other 1/6th figures. So much temptation.
Parking prices are a killer now! Dang!
In too deep, there's no turning back .......
