I've opened a LEGO eSTORE (registered with SSM) as a part time thing... It's not a traditional Brick and Mortar store though.

Watch this space. Would update you once the stocks have arrive.

http://brickbastion.com

Items are AT LEAST 10% off retail prices. No special membership fees required.

cheers! smile.gif

^Wow... great. If I want to order where to collect?
*
No need to come and collect lar. Would deliver to your doorstep via Pos Laju (you can track the item online), so far have not lost any packages with this service, whether I am sending or receiving. Quite reliable.

Would put shrink wrap, and put it into a box with lots of padding..

If you can't find the set, let me know the set number, would try to hunt for it.

tswern, brickbastion is urs...impressive:)

im loving ur older lego sets, specially the pirates ones...cool

i myself have a boxed eldorado...but its not complete as the guvnor is missing the red flair thing on his head:(

ive been trying to get a hold of the carribian clipper but always got outbidded...sad.gif
*
The eldorado set? Nice!

oh.. you are missing the plume. I can check whether I have. The 3 feathers red plumes are rather rare though. I do have many normal liver shape plumes.... if you are interested.

The new pirate sets have different sort of plumes. Look nicer and more appropriate. The old pirate sets have plumes that are plucked direct from castle theme. Not quite suitable.

As for the Clipper... pretty hard to get noways. Keep trying! I would check with my brother whether he is willing to sell his. He is somewhere in Europe now...smile.gif

Hey... you are welcome to upload the pics of your collection to the gallery. I have so much disk space sitting idle there...

Some of the classic Legos which I have, but either still in storeroom or missing doh.gif

Managed to find the majority of the pieces, but yet to find the runway and road base plate doh.gif  not to mention 3 out of 4 jet engines.

Metro Park and Service Tower 6394. Parking Garage with working elevator, car wash, Shell petrol station (prefer Shell compared to Octan) and several cars to go with it!


Airport 6392


One thing I like about classic Lego is that you are building stuff out of ordinary pieces and not specialize pieces unlike now. Like the airplane; the front part is made out of several normal bricks. 

Here are the legomen (and ladies) from both sets. Oh, the car wash brushes are from the car park set.  laugh.gif

*
These are real classic sets and are great fun to build! I'm sure you have more, snap some photos and upload them lah!

Spot on! LEGO these days have more specialized pieces especially the SW theme sets. Lots of "technic" pieces in them also.

Missing engine? Just tilt the aircraft in a certain angle, no one would notice lar. The picture you uploaded here also seem to have 3 engines only thumbup.gif


Added on February 4, 2009, 11:00 pmGuys,

Have any recommendations for a display rack to display all the LEGO sets?

Been searching high and low for quite some time now... still unable to find a REALLY suitable one. vmad.gif

Some Legoes I dug up after digging. I was surprise that these still have the box and have most of the pieces!!

The price those days. Hankyu Jaya and Yaohan is no more now sad.gif So cheap somemore!

6358 has 151 pieces, which makes out to be around RM 0.19 per piece.
My crawler crane 7632 has 481 pieces and cost RM 269.90, which makes it around RM 0.56 per piece!!! shocking.gif  shocking.gif
Lego Basic 715 has 395 pieces and cost RM 70.00, which makes it around RM 0.18 per piece!

Wow... still complete with kotaks. How u manage to simpan them for so long? Your wife din toss it out as rubbish ar? shocking.gif

I remember I wanted to buy that fire engine set last time, but I dared not ask my mum for it. blush.gif

Those days, we could do window shopping for LEGO in almost any supermarkets.

So far I see brickboy got some Legoes which cannot be found elsewhere and also the new 2009 Legoes. But I feel the best is the table (with water!!) with all the build-up Legos for you to see thumbup.gif

The UCS MF .... drool.gif . I want one also.. but I don't think I would open it to pasang.

But I still have the siren and a "electronic" brick plate. The siren is still working though !!! thumbup.gif

Yes.. precisely this set!

8258 is the new 2009 set, I think 2nd half of the year only come, which means its time to start saving since it is rumoured to have 1800 pieces. With that many pieces the price will surely burst the bank!!! rclxub.gif

Btw, here are 2 reasons why classic Lego is the best.

4X4 vehicle with SUSPENSION!!!


The camera and the red dude is not the one that came with the set.  doh.gif

Shell F1 car. The best part? NO STICKERS!!! ALL PRINTED BRICKSSS!

*
I'm green with envy. notworthy.gif

I used to have one white F1 car. The minifig was plain. white helmet. Black body.

I wonder if it is possible to post pictures of Duplo here. Duplo is Lego after all right?

Anyway, some vintage Duplo sets which I have

Train with locomotive. Comes with 2 guys (1 is AWOL) and has a piston attached to the front wheels like a real train.

Horse transporter


Helicopter and Airplane pilot
.. and my biggest Duplo set, the Farm set from 84. Comes with cow, horse, pig and chickens, as well as a large barnhouse (1 of the pieces is 1 big solid piece with lots of room inside), escalator machine to transport goods up to the second level, windmill, tractor with tipper, chairs and table to yham char. There's even a trap door in the barn! Missing the white sheep  cry.gif

Compared to today's Duplo farmset, this set is a million years better!!!

All the lego sets which I managed to identify online. Got more Duplo pieces, but there are not as well documented unlike the normal lego pieces
