Haha, some people are complex, truth is, produced car is more than sufficient, since this is not a limited produced type of toys (mainline)and its a sales basis item except for the th or $th . Them speculator/opportunist/ first one on the peg grab all the good stuff, cut the supply to the peg, flanking collector to the corner, choking who desperate to have the car, paying double, triple quadruple what soever.
Then Mattel the fatty cat the sales and revenue bound company found out this scenario, owh...people go crazy bout our car eh, lets pump up production, x cukup nii nak supply kat orang,
sooner or later the car got flooded in the market creating a backlash to the speculator world, and they cant sell what they have, since it's a car that all people can have. Because time repeatedly tells, every peaks has it lows, cycles that will hit rockbottom, then pity lah so ko makan kete tu ahahah
ko nak buat ape kete banyak2 sekali nampak 10 kete, 50 kete ko amik, pattern nowadays, beli, post fb, beli 20 sapu bersih kat peg, kita tanya wei jom trade, ayat dia bilang "sorry bro, x cukup", jilake, ape lagi yang x cukup, hang nak bagi pak chak ngan mak chak kat kampung ke ahahhaha, atau semua ni nak custom bro ahahah, opah ko hijau la. What everlah
Enough of the talk, Focus what this forum best for what lah, spam lah pic baik2 skit, bmw casting ke, porsche (love rwb) ke, cuci mata skit, just started to collect again so xde bende nak spam, last collect 2012 i think the last car that i bought the bmw 92 silver and still searching that sucker till today. Forgot where i put
Mattel targetting not malaysia market, not asia market..
This is due to
1. Major revenue does not comes from this region
2. The sales team and brand team does not care/aware of demand.. Main target is for sales.
That is why you have a community of friends to share together..
I have been collecting seriously for the past 7 years..
As I can remember, very rarely I have to pay scalper/marked-up prices.
I always get retail prices from friends who went hunting..
And sometimes I would pay a bit more coz I know they took the initiative/time to go hunt..
You know why these "collectors" are still scalping?
Coz they have some newbies to support them. but the question is for how long?
I have seen for the past 2 years, how ever big they scalp, eventually they will slow down.
Some doesn't but who cares..
My circle of friends/collectors are best enuff for me..
You give some, you get some..
The easiest way is to collect what you like at your own pace..
You might not get it now, but eventually you'll get them..
Different price at different time...
Collecting is not a race, it is just a hobby to fulfill your time..
Chill guys...
