Bought myself the new 2009 Lego Crawler Crane set 7632 from Brickboys MV today. I really liked the fact it looks like a real crawler crane and having a look at the real thing in Gardens, I felt it was worth it.

The front of the box


The back


The contents of the box. The box is OVERSIZED again, typical of Legos. Lego could have save shipping cost and shelf/storage space but again, having a HUGE box to attract ppl seems a better idea. Lot of air inside the box Note to Lego: Learn from Tomica or Ikea on how to pack stuff.


You get:-
1) 2 nos of Number 1 bags
2) 1 nos of Number 2 bag
3) 1 nos of Number 3 bag
4) 1 nos of Number 4 bag
5) 1 nos of not-numbered bag
6) Thick 90 page manual
7) Sticker sheet

A page from the manual with some basic do and don't. Now they go by packages to keep the construction simple and easy. No one big bag of stuff and looking for 1 darn peg in a mountain of bricks


Parts list so that you can keep track of the bricks after you mixed all of them up (like many of my sets in the store )


Some preview of upcoming 2009 sets. Got farm set also. Harvester looks good!


The back page, some new models perhaps?


I just opened the box, have not started constructing the thing yet. Will post pic of it when it is completed.

Hi there guys, anyone interested in Exo-Force Fight for the Golden Tower for only RM150.. box is battered after quite sometime in the boot of the car but pieces are still in its factory sealed polybags. PM me for those who are interested. Tx and have a nice day

Runway roadplates are not sold separately.

argh.... i thought i can get it separately for my son .. recently we bought 7732 and 7734 for him.. and looking forward to get runways for him ....

i' a bit kecewa / disappointed with lego model last year.....
i' expecting somthing like mobile crane or bulldozer.

LEGO I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED... PLUS U copy cat other people screw type pneumatic.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I've opened a LEGO eSTORE (registered with SSM) as a part time thing... It's not a traditional Brick and Mortar store though.

Watch this space. Would update you once the stocks have arrive.

I think the reason they stopped selling the runway plates is because the new planes like 7734 are too big for the old runway plates. The runway plates are more suited for planes like 7732 and for the old airports.

Even the new airport with the large airplane does not come with runway plates!!!!

Great site! Hope for more new stuff from you!!

While you are waiting, you could have a peak at some of my vintage pirate collections at:

^Wow... great. If I want to order where to collect?

No need to come and collect lar. Would deliver to your doorstep via Pos Laju (you can track the item online), so far have not lost any packages with this service, whether I am sending or receiving. Quite reliable.

Would put shrink wrap, and put it into a box with lots of padding..

If you can't find the set, let me know the set number, would try to hunt for it.

Hey, recently there is a price drop for Star Wars theme

tswern, brickbastion is urs...impressive:)

im loving ur older lego sets, specially the pirates ones...cool

i myself have a boxed eldorado...but its not complete as the guvnor is missing the red flair thing on his head:(

ive been trying to get a hold of the carribian clipper but always got outbidded...

http://brickbastion.com

wow, good website, wish more and more SKU come in...

thanks!

Some of the classic Legos which I have, but either still in storeroom or missing

Managed to find the majority of the pieces, but yet to find the runway and road base plate not to mention 3 out of 4 jet engines.

Metro Park and Service Tower 6394. Parking Garage with working elevator, car wash, Shell petrol station (prefer Shell compared to Octan) and several cars to go with it!


Airport 6392


One thing I like about classic Lego is that you are building stuff out of ordinary pieces and not specialize pieces unlike now. Like the airplane; the front part is made out of several normal bricks.

Here are the legomen (and ladies) from both sets. Oh, the car wash brushes are from the car park set.

The eldorado set? Nice!

oh.. you are missing the plume. I can check whether I have. The 3 feathers red plumes are rather rare though. I do have many normal liver shape plumes.... if you are interested.

The new pirate sets have different sort of plumes. Look nicer and more appropriate. The old pirate sets have plumes that are plucked direct from castle theme. Not quite suitable.

As for the Clipper... pretty hard to get noways. Keep trying! I would check with my brother whether he is willing to sell his. He is somewhere in Europe now...

Hey... you are welcome to upload the pics of your collection to the gallery. I have so much disk space sitting idle there...

Added on February 4, 2009, 10:57 pmThese are real classic sets and are great fun to build! I'm sure you have more, snap some photos and upload them lah!

Spot on! LEGO these days have more specialized pieces especially the SW theme sets. Lots of "technic" pieces in them also.

Missing engine? Just tilt the aircraft in a certain angle, no one would notice lar. The picture you uploaded here also seem to have 3 engines only

Have any recommendations for a display rack to display all the LEGO sets?

Been searching high and low for quite some time now... still unable to find a REALLY suitable one.

tswern ,

yeah, the plumes...that word seems to evade me every time...

anyhoo...i will def get the set back from my gf cos shes renewing my love for lego for me at the momment!

bsides the eldorado, i also have the 6267-lagoon lock-up and the 6265-Sabre Island (Governors Bastion).

these r extremely fun and im only missing the clipper really to make a kickass dio...

the ikea detolf is a fan fav when it comes to displaying their collection, though their a bit small and would probably fit a lego city police headquarters only (rough idea for u:)
