I hate ALJ for being greedy with their monopoly of the Lego brand. Serve them right for not having the right to distribute Lego anymore. I can't wait for Parisian Restaurant with a "new price"  maybe my wife can buy the Mindstorms for me at lower price also

QUOTE(chew_loong @ Dec 16 2013, 08:37 PM) Cannot hate them, it's just business. Even our online resellers would do the same on Facebook, or even in this forum itself. That's why prices are hardly published anywhere unless PM only, its just competition. As consumers we can have a choice whether we want to buy or not. No one can force you if you don't want to buy at the quoted price. Is no harm also to ask for discount though sellers may not like it. They may choose not to sell to you but that's their prerogative. Many sellers out there. Do some research and hunt for it. In my opinion, they are the culprit for the high price of Lego in Malaysia. At least our online reseller can give lower price even though they need to deal with a lot of hassle just to get the stock. Yes it all business, but how honest they are in dealing the business will differentiate everything. Clearly now we can see how ALJ control the stock to ensure they can sell them at maximum profit. There is a reason why Lego did not continue their contract with ALJ and we as Lego fan really glad that something have been done to end this monopoly

QUOTE(faish888 @ Dec 17 2013, 11:25 AM) Current sales due ALJ's demise ie. losing their distributorship on Lego... discounts up to 50% (and hopefully more at the end of December)... all this may be one-off occurrence, so let's enjoy it while we can. When TLG takes over next year, many speculating and hoping prices will be much lower... but it's doubtful we will see prices drop to same levels as in the US and Europe. More likely, prices here will be similar to Singapore, where TLG has been distributing and setting retail prices for some time now. Just refer to bricksworld.com. For certain sets like DS, the price is SGD900 which is higher than local retail. Of course there may be other benefits like better discounts, improved availability of sets, and hopefully Lego retail and online stores available in this region eventually. Ultimately TLG/Lego is still a business and their no.1 priority is to make as much profit as possible for their shareholders. Employees and customers are important but no.1 will always be their shareholders. This is the same for all businesses. Like Gordon Gecko used to say: "Greed is good" Just my 2 sen of how things will develop in our local Lego market. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. Change always brings with it hope, anticipation and uncertainly.  Agreed, the price might not be drastically low but when TLG take over we can expect great support from them. I know its all come to business but its better to buy item direct from the manufacturer rather than by monopoly 3rd party.
