Lol I'm not trying to feed scalper. The rm 400 price I got is actually from a toy store. I've actually been searching on forums and visited a few different toy stores. Today alone I've been to MV, Amcorp and also BTS. Also cannot find what I'm looking for. I've also checked on forums etc and so far got one guy who msg'd me directly that he can let it go for rm 350. I don't think he is a scalper, because I see him post quite regularly on the forums but he based his price on what he see in the market. So if I buy from him, am I considered feeding the scalper?
Honestly, who don't want to buy some stuff at "retail" price. Keep in mind I only joined back this hobby in Dec 2013. There are a lot of stuff I missed out on. For example I wanted to get United Drift. I saw it at Famitoy at rm 140 (i didn't buy), anywhere I look the price is higher than that or lower than that but not MOSC or USED or missing stuff.. If I buy that from Famitoy, is that also considered feeding the scalper?
I honestly just want to get more Primes for my collection and I'm not those that have to buy every single deluxe/legends/voyager that is out, so money not spent buying those for me is money used to buy something I really want.
p/s : I curious about something, if someone keep their stuff MOSC, they are not selling it now, if one day they decide to sell it, has anybody seen the situation where the price was same as retail or lower? (Not talking about super common shelf warmers la).. Take TFA blackout for example, that one I lucky found at a comic store at the back of the shelf at rm 109. How often does that happen ?
first if you really like the figure then its for the figure, cos even takara is going to reissue it, it wouldnt be the same anymore (color and qc)...
and yeah that optimus prime is a must have n that color is irresistible... comparing un01 with hasbro its like comparing heaven n hell...
for my personal opinion i will buy it if i were u... do some survey then only decide... u do not really have to hunt in kl shopping mall anymore cos i have already done that (fail)...
as for the scalper, we cant do anything because this is life... people will try to earn money if there is chances... i see there is a lot of people saying do not feed the scalper but what can we do if we really want the figure... buy earlier? what if we just start this hobby recently? so if i want takara tomy buster optimus prime, can anyone volunteer to sell me one (misb) at rm279(retail price)??? i dont think i can get anything below rm550... and yeah last time i preorder my mp12 lambor at rm140 and takara is going to reissue it next year (and yeah i just place a preorder this noon) pricing it at rm180 preorder... so does this count as scalping??? Lol...
buy anything as long as you can afford it and happy
