I remember last time (back in year 2000) when 8448 was so famous, there was a monthly competition for submission of 8448 MOC, host my Lego itself (or some website). I remember there were some very nice submission. Most of them maintain the chassis, and only modify the body.

And there was also a limited edition yellow 8448, which was really cool. Wonder if the website still exist.

This is nuts...! Maybe this guy want to build a battle scene.

Haha.... ya, a lot of base plate...!!! Hmm, seems like someone talking from experience..

Wow.... space shuttle carrier, you mean an even bigger plane to carry your existing space shutter? Totally wicked... but I like the idea. Which is why you need the linear actuator, as a grip to hold the space shuttle. But 3 of them? But there is not much technic set with white brick, except for NXT, and I think the limited edition boeing.

After all the poisoning, I'm reconsidering my decision of letting go my bulldozer but keep it for myself. Now kinda regret for letting go my NXT...

You mean like a launch pad? Wow....... We shall all wait anxiously for your build.

A bit sayang to let go my bulldozer. After reading the review on brickset, kinda agree with the people there. It's a masterpiece, with a lot of goodies (2 IR receiver, 4 motors). It's probably the best set ever since 2007. IIRC, it was also being awarded as best toy of the year. The technic line-up since 2008 and 2009 was a bit disappointing. I didn't get any of them. Looking forward to the front loader, but review isn't that encouraging. The crane truck also seems to have it's own share of dilemma.

Anyway, I think there is another forumer here who has an extra bulldozer, not sure if he want to sell or not, can try and ask him.

Show us some picture of your bulldozer!! Mine still inside the box. Haven't got the time and mood and display place for that yet. It is really a cool set. NXT is rated for 16+ it's NXT equivalent.

paanjang16: 2000+ pieces with complex building technique? I think blocks can only be as challenging as bottom-up right... correct me if I'm wrong..

wow, when compare to the box, the dino is not as big as one would expect them to be.... I think the tail can swing loosely, right?

Bulldozer retail was over RM800 in malaysia, i think RM899. Now become one of the rare collectable set already. Luckily I didn't sell mine.

Is that one of Lego truck in the background? Or was it a plastic toy?

I am actually waiting for the front loader.. haha... but would probably go over Sg to get it.

Yup, that's the one

No idea, around 400~500 perhaps? haha... wild guess only.

Starwar price range (as far as I can recall)
RM70 -100 (very small set, less than 50 pcs, with lego minifig)
RM100-200 (moderate set, usually 100-150 pcs)
RM200-400 (moderate set 200 - 300 pcs)
RM400-800 (large set)

I just checkout the video review at youtube. This toy is huge, larger than what I have imagine. Should cost around RM500, or more, with 1000+ pcs. The exceptional long rear body doesn't look authetic, (due to the motor, hide inside it), plus the mechanism design for the scoop is really really bad. I don't really like the design, seems a bit rigid and less lively.

You can try getting heatshrink or cable sleeves from lowyat plaza, modders normally use those. I have a some here, but mine are really small one.

Why not post a picture of the damage part? If it is repairable, I can give you a hand.

Wow... that look bad. The silver thingy is it the wire or just a shield? Erm, nothing much can be done, the brick is holding on to the rubber insulation, unless we cut and reposition the rubber, it won't hold...

Dude, never use a plier to remove any lego part. It would leave mark on the pin, that's not cool. Nowadays the tightness of lego stud don't feel that consistent, some of them are just so-so only. Afraid it may get loose after few session of dismantling.

Wow, only RM560, sure is an excellent buy!! Man, I never thought they would give that much discount...

I think superman has it... the UCS falcon, though I seldom see him hang out here.

Never tried direct post from US. It's going to be tax, not sure how much. Which set you bought, and how much was the courier fee?

yaphong, your courier more expensive than your set? You should have bought the largest set...

For Mindstorm NXT2, try check at those large toy'r'us store in KL, try ask the supervisor there. Last time I check, they keep NXT 1 inside a glass cabinet (Mid Valley branch)

8285 and 8275 is 2006 and 2007 model if not mistaken. I think you can't find it anymore in store, your best option is ebay. I think 8258 still available on shelf, last year model, IIRC.

I think the excavator is 2008/09 model. If you look around, maybe (just maybe) there are still leftover.
