Aiyah, johnnycp posted on 11/7/07 regarding the warehouse sale, I also got the news from his posting here. But there's no Mindstorm there. Well, if I'm not wrong the warehouse sale have everything besides Mindstorm, Star Wars, and the newer theme such as Castle and Mars Mission. Well, now that everyone knows it's going to have a warehouse sale probably 6 months down the road, at least it will prevent you from buying something that's not hot selling at retail or 10% off. Again, the warehouse sale is to clear old stocks that not sellable (more often expensive items), so don't bang on it to get something that you've been drooling for.

Hi All,

i got a noob question, i've been wanting the black seas barracuda (6285) but it's a long discontinued product. Recently whils surfing e-bay i foundout that they have reissued the model again as 10040. The one i saw was the pirates of the carribean set with jack sparrow n such. also it was flying the black sails.

Where can i get them in KL or SG? has anyone saw the set? I dont mind black sail or red sail (that was the standard sail) n how much is it?

Many many thanks to those who layan me

try to get it from here if u have paypal account

shipping+insurance may not exceed RM150 in my guess

edit: ops, if u saw jack sparrow or what ever it is, i can confirm that it is not LEGO set. LEGO never had Pirates of the Carrribean theme.

Oik, you've got Viking Heavy Catapult? I didn't see any when I was there. Not sure what time you went but when I was there at 11:30a.m on the 1st day, I saw many people who probably have connection inside Texchem actually walked out with all the nice sets. Sigh, I guess this is the society we're in, preference given to well-connected people. So when I went in, just grab anything I could see, but honestly buying Exo-Force's Bridge Walker and Striking Venom at RM100 and RM120 respectively is really a good price.
No worries guys, just wait for another round and buy anything and everything in sight, should not be more than RM1000.

holy shyte.........!
a 6286 and a 6285....
wallet confirm gone!

but many thanks for the link. now i know wat i'm looking for.

i wonder does mindstorm still holds water in Malaysia? i used to dream of owning the kit (cost 1k+ that time)

where can i still get it right now? jaya jusco still got or not? how much eh? coz i still have my technics and lego parts.

Most of the big LEGO sets selling in Malaysia is rediculous over priced. My advice is you get it from www.bricklink.com. It is something like EBAY, but Bricklink is dedicated to all LEGO stuff only. If you owned a credit card, it is good to buy all the big big sets from Bricklink. even after included the shipping and insurance, it still cheaper than u buy in Malaysia SIGNIFICANTLY.

Give johhny a break alan, if he knew earlier im sure he would have posted it earlier. I also got to know this after it was over....

Eric Tan started a thread about Mindstorms NXT sometime ago, but due to the size of the community here it didnt take off as expected. But hey, the international community is superb and it's growing bigger and bigger every second. So maybe we need to be the ppl to get things rolling.

Get it from bricklink, it's much much cheaper.

Agreed.

I am able to get NXT retail price at a special price. Please PM me directly if you are interested. Cannot post the price online, as I may get in trouble.

As for the community, I have gotten to know some locals since it started. I would say that, there is a very small number. I do keep in touch with a few of them.

If there is any NXT users out there, please PM me, so that I can compile a list of NXT users in Malaysia. Maybe even organise an NXT day out or something.

HEY.....BRICKSHELF WILL END ITS SERVICE BY END OF THIS MONTH! DO BACK UP YOUR STUFF SOON.

Hmm...Not really war if you go on time or earlier (at 12:00pm), the crowd only build up at 12:30pm as it is lunch hour for offices, so you really see many working adults rushing in like mad people. Actually the packaging is not damaged or anything, just as good as those in retails outlet. The reason they have the sale is because the items are too expensive or not popular (but by saying this I'm not saying that it's the ugly ones, just not so popular) and after some time of keeping it, they have no more place to keep in the warehouse due to the fact new stocks keep on coming in. So they have no choice but to sell off those that has been in the warehouse like more than 6-12 months or so.

There are basically many products there besides the new ones like Castle and Mars Mission and of course Mindstorm. So it's really good bargain for us as I saw some of the Technics that cost RM500 or more in the market is selling for RM200 or so. It is just advisable that you grab the big sets looking at the price difference and the savings you are enjoying. I bought more than RM900 products for only RM300, isn't that great? I could have bought more but have been spending like RM3000 for the past 2 months on Lego

And for all Star Wars junkie, Brickboy will be bringing the X-Wing next week for RM349.90.
