So is Hasbro Malaysia or Tru Malaysia scalpers?If Hasbro Masterpiece Grimlock is priced at USD59.95 in the US,how does it become RM499.95 in Malaysia?Maybe because it's easier to ship to US from China?Next Hasbro Sideswipe release maybe will be priced at RM299.95?

I'm not interested in buying it but I've read a lot about scalpers in the forum and I was curious why we prefer to feed big scalpers.Also I'm curious why last time below Rm300 also no one want but now RM500 rebut like crazy?

Heh,even Taktom MP-22 Ultra Magnus more cheaper.

So we shouldn't complain when Foreign workers(Bangladeshi,Indonesians,etc) service like shiat and complain when professionals like doctors and lawyers make a mistake?It doesn't make a difference,but you must understand in today's world's of mass production there is no such thing as perfection,take it as it is,or imagine you're the guy eating the stained meatballs.
I remembered reading a report about Hasbro factory in China,how the workers were paid chicken feed,how they were dining and sleeping with the rats and how much time they were given to assemble specific amount of toys,so I think that we're lucky with only a bit of paint chip.It's not like it's gonna last forever,the paint and chrome will chip and erode over time.

Ha,this is TRU,a big company that can afford the loss,imagine if it happened in one of the smaller shops like 1toy,after opening 3 boxes,"Ah Soon,semua ada paint chip la....".......how they gonna sell those opened boxes?

You are the one who have totally missed the point.My point is there shouldn't be a difference whether you're paying RM5 or RM50.Secondly since when did I back up Hasbro for producing mediocre work and selling at premium price?Read carefully I was saying they are paying chicken feed to their workers to produce mediocre to be sold to customers for premium price.Something like RM50 restaurant buying from RM5 foodstall to sell at RM50.

Also,I wasn't complaining about Hasbro scalping us but more on how ignorant we are when we talk about small scalpers here and there but then choose to pay these big scalpers.But that point is moot since someone pointed out that the original price in US is supposed to be USD150.

Fuih,I underestimated TRU and Hasbro Malaysia by saying MP Prowl RM299.95 last time.

What about "more than meets teh eye"?
