Talking Thai Dragon Boat 747 in ACHK

ACHK post the Thai Dragon Boat 747-400 (Big Bird) in the mid-night??? Price is HK$198 (around US$25). The photo is not clear. I think I need to see the real one in the day time.

By the time it gets to the US its 35 plus shipping forget it. I'll keep to my SJ A333 and if they release a 744 for 20 bucks it will be gladly welcomed if not I really don't care as I really don't need the whole Thai fleet.

I'll bet your right about that pricing too! That $25 will turn into $40..somewhere on down the line in the US.

I can understand your feeling. It's sad that this model is US$25 here but jumps up to US$40 in US.

Same thing happens here. Like the American West Arizona Cardinals which was US$22 when released in US but US$40 when it reached here [some even selling it at US$50!]

that's true for the US
(and it's worse up here in Canada... one of the shop guy doesn't even know the existence of the BB's -_-|||)

but for HK collectors it's a 5 bucks difference. AND an opputunity: look at those fake nike AJ XI's hk sellers sell on ebay, they cost hkd100 (or 200?) each pair and they're selling them at 100 (or 200?) USD... it's a 7 fold (7.8 to be exact) turnover. (sorry kinda off topic)
