Personally, I'm skipping almost all new themes and instead concentrating on adding and further improving my City and Kingdom. But am waiting for PotC pics before I decide to get it or not.

Yeah, just recently got interested in the Kingdoms theme. I've got a pretty insane collection of the previous Castle theme but this new one seems quite interesting too. Not to mention, the leaked 2011 Kingdoms sets look promising so far. I'd say it's worth a try but that's just me lol. Anyone here collect Kingdoms? Maybe I can get more feedback regarding this theme?

Well, I sorta see what you mean with the Prison Carriage set. But then again, I usually improve the smaller/medium sized sets with my own modifications so I'm not that bothered about its simple build. The King's Castle however looks pretty good to me. Am interested to see if TLG will release a fortress for the villains later on.

Lol don't lose hope! That's only the first wave for 2011. Still got chance for the 2nd wave.
 But personally, I do fear that they might end the theme next year. If that's the case, that'd really be a waste. |

QUOTE(ilfort @ Dec 31 2010, 08:32 PM) You can try ask from BrickBastion, but grey baseplate is no longer in production, now is only blue. To be honest, these plates are severely overpriced zzz. |

QUOTE(ilfort @ Jan 1 2011, 05:58 PM) Is just a plate and it cost RM50. Exactly my point. Most of the time, I don't even bother with the plates. Just build up a base plate with other pieces if there's a need for one. And if you do some research, you'll see how most of the awesome MOCs out there don't utilize plates. Everything are built up from scratch, piece by piece. Which of course, makes it that more awesome. |

QUOTE(Razaelx @ Jan 15 2011, 01:11 PM) also, do u guys agree that legos these days arent as fun n exciting as it used to be in the 90s ? It's the latter. Because to me and I believe, millions of others out there around the world think it has improved way more than it has deteriorated through all these years. And for the record, I've been collecting Lego for the past 16+ years so yes I'm probably a little biased. Haha. But it doesn't mean my claim is any less true. The statistics, overall sales and TLG's ability to churn out set after set and theme after theme each year speak volumes. 90s lego:   what my younger brother just got: meyhhh   or is it just cause i'm all grown up dy   |

QUOTE(djay16 @ Jan 19 2011, 04:29 PM) Does anyone here think that LEGO is considered a niche product in Malaysia like other speciality hobby (Magic/boardgame/Gundam etc) Well, it is certainly true that there are far lesser people who are interested and willing to spend on Lego compared to other toys like 1/6 figures, action figures (Figmas, Revo, etc.) and Gundams. But it's also true that retail prices for Lego here are insane. That alone throws a lot of people off since they don't see how plastic bricks can be of a higher cost than a fully articulated 12-inch figure. |

QUOTE(NasiLemakMan @ Jan 20 2011, 10:07 PM) well at the price it comes with the quality and also warranty. Which other toy company willing to replace broken or even missing parts for free! I wish more people realized that too. But I have to say, after buying hundreds and hundreds of sets for the past 16+ years, I've never had any problems regarding missing or damaged pieces. Not even a single time. |

QUOTE(djay16 @ Jan 21 2011, 01:24 PM) In regards to LEGO being a niche market product, I think we have to consider the viewpoint of the average parent who purchase the product for their children or younger children without disposable income who obtain LEGO through means such as good grades or birthday present, You're spot on on some of your points, bro. But I believe if the prices were lower, it'd definitely do two things; the first of which is that us collectors will definitely buy more (as you mentioned) and two, there will be a much higher possibility for new collectors to want to try this hobby out (most are reluctant due to the price anyway). Hence, it will without a doubt prove to be an easier decision as is the case always for us collectors. Nice item + good/reasonable price = Win! Haha. Or maybe it's just me. For us hobby collectors, we would have a skewed viewpoint since we are in a way have the intention to actually get as much as we can, kena "poison", so we keep track of the price, compared to other country, follow the news on new set or theme. Seeing how LEGO are being marketed I get the feel that they are more producing with the intention of mass marketing the toy like any other toy, if we look at it that way then are LEGO prices "fair" to the intended consumers, since they won't be buying a lot of LEGO in the first place ? Do you know anyone or many parents who buys LEGO with a deeper understanding of the whole LEGO system (the whole creativity and endless play aspect etc) other than "there the toy with the bricks one, ah boi like to play one so we will get him 1 box for christmas" This may answer another query which is "Will LEGO products sell more if they lower the price here in Malaysia ?" - Obviously we collectors will buy more, but will it make a difference to LEGO balance sheet at the end of the day to lower price and increase the production run ? Any thoughts on this ? p.s. I should have started out with this question instead Is LEGO a niche market product and what does it means to us collectors ? |
