I personally think the brickmaster pirate and castle not quite worth it.

Does it only contain instructions and bricks?

Wanted to get it, but changed my minelar.

It seems more like building instructions than a book to me.

Currently this set is out of stock in Malaysia. New shipment should be arriving in Feb/March 2010.

Retail price is RM1499

The education version of the NXT and the retail version are different (there is no instructions for alpha-rex in the education version). The education version costs more too.

FYI, the Malaysian team here won the World Robotics Olympiad in 2009

Anyway, you may order your NXT 2.0 from brickbastion.com

Added on March 24, 2010, 4:04 pmLast time when i was young, Nasi Lemak with egg cost me 80 cents. Now its more than RM2.

It's called inflation

Also, our RM drop a lot compared to other currencies during the financial crisis in 1997.

LEGO sets in Malaysia, pricing are OK with exception of Star Wars Sets.

Just restocked April 2010 stuff.

Check them out at http://brickbastion.com

There would be a LEGO Collector event held at ONE Utama New Wing, from 1st-7th June 2010.

Come visit us there!

Sets from collectors, recent and vintage. Most UCS Starwars sets would be there.

Themes like castle, city, exo force, PoP, Toy Story, cube dudes, technics...etc.

New wing, One Utama!

There would be some sales carried out by TRU. Not too sure wat they are selling though at this moment

Used bricklink for close to 50 times for parts. Yeah, some stuff do get missing. But most reach my doorstep.

Yeap.. got conned once (or was it twice) too .

I think its a MOC. You have to contact the builder that built it, whether he is interested to sell it to you or otherwise.

Not enought time to finish building everything actually. Started around 3am to 6am++ (have to wait for the carpet and tables to be ready).

More sets would be there towards the weekend.

There are some extremely rare Toystory keychains at and magnets there on sale. Limited amounts and can't be bought elsewhere in Malaysia.

As for the event, part of my sets are on display. Its a collector exhibition. As for the sales part, is handled byTRU.

Some pics here:

Anyway, those are early pics. More sets and creations has since been added

- You would notice a rare chrome C-3PO together with a chrome darth vader & Storm trooper if you can find it )

Yesterday's papers.

It's a "Collector" exhibit.

Definately planning to have MORE MOC's in future. That requires a lot of time, commitment and lotsa bricklinking!

Anyway, the first event serves more to "test" waters and to gauge the general reaction of the people. Not everyone likes to see MOC's though .

Takes a while to arrive from Germany (use to buy lotsa spare parts from bricklink, 2 weeks max).

Yeap, no tracking. Usually would not be a problem unless it gets stuck in Malaysian customs. Without tracking, customs might toss the item away.
