Guys, my bro is working for parkson and He is telling me ALJ try to persuade to them to take more stock as by Jan they no longer can distribute and sell as we all know, but Parkson is not stupid too as they wan cheaper stock by ALJ until then Parkson wont be having much stocks too. Let's wait for warehouse sales don't be deceive by ALJ sales now

Not cannot sell, ALJ cannot distribute only. Anyone can sell as long they have stock. As for now the ALJ has too much stock and selling is taking too much time and of course we are getting smarter as most of us got caught at the initial stages.
So again, even they cannot force us to buy at this discount rate or any one reseller to take bulk of the remaining stock. Response to the LEGO building toys has been good, the only thing that puts us off is the price. Even now if you look at the conversion taking Lego.com as a benchmark, their SRP is about 35% off our Malaysia SRP. So unless our prices in Rm does not go lower then 50% is not even considered a great deal.
Our local online resellers are using ALJ SRP as a benchmark which we know is rubbish. Granted they need to have some margin, need to cover import tax, shipping etc. but it's not the way to go. Almost he entire South East Asia region distribution LEGO is managed by ALJ group.
Hopefully when LEGO (M) steps in, pricing structure would change making LEGO toys more accessible to ALL. No more TAIKUNs come 2014!! Remove the exorbitant USPS shipping charges or any shipping charges.
"LEGO.com/en-MY/" shop at home ... Free Shipping for purchases RM299 and above.
Go to LEGOLAND (M), see a little sticker which says "Distributed by Lego (M)"
