Jai Ho Senior Member 719 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: U.S.A	What is TLG? I calculate if buy from SG cost RM810, plus the transportation, lodging, time & effort to search for it, I don't really think its worthwile buying from Sg. Not to mention the additional taxes on the Lego set by our wonderful customs'. But if you have relative/friends living there can ask em to buy for u.

Jai Ho Senior Member 719 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: U.S.A	QUOTE(tswern @ Sep 27 2009, 05:32 PM) TLG = The LEGO Group The time spent alone costs much much more than the price difference. Not to mention the anxiety. Besides, some people (like myself) only like sets that are in REALLY mint condition. How can sampai hati open them up and transport them all the way from SG (then worry whether got missing/misplaced parts or packs since box open), with the burden of being hantam by customs hanging over ones head? Definately not worth getting from Singapore. ESPECIALLY this set. I agree man! I'm also the person who likes REALLY mint condition. All my Lego sets still brand new in box. Hehe.

Took me about 8 hours to finish it Also due to using msn at the same time haha. Anyway, the box for this set is HUGE. But not as huge as the motorised bulldozer. Sizes in relation to 8448 and dozer. Same width and thickness as 8448, but the higher. The height is the same as the motorised dozer. When you open the flap, there is a huge picture of the set showing the size of the truck with its functions. As you can see, it is almost 1:1 scale in the flap as shown by the tires I placed. Something I noticed inside the box, a little smiley face chop! From where I wonder? Before starting a set this size it is important that one sort out all the pieces to minimize time used for looking for that darn 1x1 piece. At 1877 parts, it occupies the entire table! Not show are the 8 rubber tires where I placed them on another table before I took this shot. There is ALOT of technic pegs, ALOT of technic cross-axles and ALOT of gears. The power function parts in the set; battery box, pole reverser, XL motor and 2 linear actuators. After completing it, I placed them next to my other Technic giants. The truck is the thinnest of the lot, but it is the longest. Size comparison with leader class prime and gang Comparison between power miner thunder driller. Definitely not minifigure scale! Also, what do Legomen play during their free time? With a motorised bulldozer of course! P.S: That is a Tomica Komatsu Bulldozer 8 hours to finish, that is like 1 pay day for work. Anyways, great job there. Make sure you keep it in sealed glass cabinet to avoid dust accumulating. If accumulates, have fun cleaning!!
