I'm currently working my way down the list, but can those who previously indicated interest but have changed their minds notify me, so I can go straight to those who are still interested?
NOTE: I previously quoted prices in USD, but the exchange rate has changed quite a bit since last month, so now I'm sticking to MYR.
Whether USD 130 shipped is reasonable or not you can decide from @Jern92's offer who generously shipped #80102 at cost for MYR 350 (USD 86).

With 80103, I'll update this thread again when it becomes available (no idea when though).
I'm guessing this means everyone will be able to get 80103 on their own?
However, I'm guessing since these are likely going to be available worldwide later on, I won't need to help anyone get them?
Do I wish that every set was readily available to everyone? Sure. I wish I could just head over to Target to buy the CNY sets or the SDCC Star Wars exclusives. While I'm at it, I wish they would just be on perpetual clearance and not ever get discontinued or go out of stock so I can just buy them whenever I feel like it and not have to pay scalper/reseller prices. But them's the breaks. I don't lose any sleep over it and if that's the only thing keeping someone up at night, then they have a pretty good life.
It's a bummer that those CNY sets were released in the Asia Pacific as an exclusive, but that's also great for that region too. I don't "have" to have those sets, but it would be cool. I'm not gonna cry about it, b/c we in the states get our fair share.
The LAN also complained about the Darth Vader bust that was a SW Celebration exclusive shared w/ Target Red Card. This is not the first exclusive ever made for a con, so why are they so up in arms about it now. Plus, Lego deserves a lot of credit for partnering w/ Target to release it on their site for those that didn't get to go to Chicago (I got mine through target.com). But people were still upset b/c it wasn't more widely available?
The only slight agreement I have w/ them are their comments about TLM2 Brickheadz. I don't mind the exclusivity of them being numbered, but I think more could have been shared w/ the Lego community that WMT and Target were the only way to get those and that it would be limited. No one really knew it was limited until they hit the website. Just a little heads up would have been nice. I'm still fine w/ the exclusivity of it though.
I mean the LAN are made up of those that run review sites, LUGs and what not, but they're also some of the most die hard fans too. But they don't speak for everyone.
Fair enough. :) Perhaps I just wish their surveys had more influence than the LAN. But yes...there are a lot of those frivolous complaints too. lol
