And what the heck..just needed 6 more to complete. Bought them all today. I need to focus on only one theme on Lego...I might now want to get s1-s6..haha. I also bought the kingdom chess set.. |

QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Aug 10 2012, 10:58 PM) I was wondering about the profit that the park can generate. I remember when I was in Disneyland in Japan where it was packed as hell with people and people were buying lots of stuff inside. Of course Japanese are the kind of people who loved theme parks and they can run it very very well. Then the weather there is very cooling unlike here Good analysis there. Rationally, the price should be cheaper inside LM as compared to Msia's RRP. Otherwise, visitors would complaint why would they buy things inside LM. But another view would be, the main income is from entrance fee and not retailing. LM might even argue, their shops has more variety or exclusive products only available inside LM. (That will also help TLG to jaga hati ALJ ). Hence the price is same as RRP  I am quite worried about the price of Lego inside the park. There are 2 scenarios:- 1) Price cheaper than the whole M'sia - lots of people with annual pass are going to act like middleman and buy Lego in the park for resale. Postage is cheap, I remember the cost to Poslaju a Technic flagship box from Penang to KL is around RM 30. 2) Price similar to the RRP in all the shops in Malaysia - sales will be very bad as all the tourists are going to hold off buying Lego in the park. I can imagine every single tourist going to the park asking the tour guide in the bus if it is worth it to buy Lego in Legoland. What do you think the tourist guide will tell the tourist? What if the tourist go to Orchard road only to see the Police Station he bought for RM 550 only costs RM 400 after super big discount due to the Great Singapore sale? Me myself get all my large Lego sets online and not through TRU or Brickboy. Sometimes I do buy from TRU but that is when opening time or holiday discount period. Part of the profit to the park is through the sale of Lego. Then there are prices of Lego accessories like stationary, water bottles etc. TRU themselves brought in some stationary sets and water bottles and those stuff cost a bomb  Maybe it is due to the TRU mark-up and it is not through ALJ or Lego but the price is insane for China made stuff. Sadly the yellow color of the stuff is not the yellow Lego bricks are known for. Thinking of going on opening day, but I think I want to do a 'wait and see' approach first. i really not sure. i just go a bad vibe, nothing will be cheap inside LM One thing for sure, if it is cheaper than RRP, the scalpers will made a weekly (even daily) trip to LM and more online blogshops/shops/threads will suddenly appear after september 15th. Whoever is going, please help to report on its prices Added on August 13, 2012, 9:49 am QUOTE(Gizzi69 @ Aug 13 2012, 12:41 AM) TRU in TCM and Hartamas shopping Centre has stocks.

First time collected a whole minifigure series (7) today. I always felt the packs from time to time, and last week i just realised i only needed 3 more to complete the set, so I thought may as well buy them. Felt the 3 within 5 minutes cos they were super common, hippie, tennis player and swimmer. The satisfaction of slowly collecting them over the past 2-3 months has been very fulfilling. Just wish there were less scalpers cos you definitely need to be there at the right place at the right time. Cos I bought Aztec, Ocean King, and Evil Knight all at the same time (pre-scalper box), could hardly believe my luck tat time.
Wish the others all the best who are in the same situation. Do let me know if you need an extra Ocean King! |
