Well, right now I'm done with the sets in the LOTR theme until the new wave is released later this year but maybe will continue getting the occasional Uruks/Rohan Soldiers here and there and finish building a full setup for my Helm's Deep setting (mountains, modular keep, barracks, armory, etc) when I have the time. And I have 14 wall parts to be exact. 10 from sets, 4 bought loose. They are stacked together for twice the height though. One wall by itself is WAY too short to indicate an impregnable fortress to me. Definitely still not quite there length wise, though. May need at least a good 10 or 12 more to fully simulate the scene I have in mind. God that sounds expensive enough already.

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 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
As for exclusive sets, so far I see it is stuff like stationary, t-shirts, clothing, towels etc. I do not know if there is any sets which are exclusive to Legoland itself. There is however exclusive bricks based on certain special events. For us AFOL the main stuff we want is mainly for the bricks or sets only. I wonder how much are they going to charge for the pick a brick. If the price comes up more expensive than buying a modular building might as well buy a modular building for parts. I will seriously compare the RM/kg of a modular to that of the pick a brick. Unless of course they have rare colors like the green from green grocer (unlikely) or Maersk blue (more unlikely).

I foresee those retailers in Singapore will make a major killing if the price inside LM is expensive.

Oh, anyone will predict the mad rush to the Big shop at opening time to picit-picit all the Series 7? laugh.gif

Good morning Lego fans

"The combined cost of the theme park and planned water park is RM720mil, which is fully funded by the Malaysian government, while the construction of the hotel will cost RM190mil."

I'm a little skeptical with the Pick A Brick, since they're going to charge by weight instead of per cup, from the info they've released. Hopefully they reverse the decision on that.

As for prices in Legoland, I believe they're going to be Singaporean prices, simply because Legoland caters to Singaporeans.

Dont get too high hopes on varieties in pick-a-brick either. Its highly unlikely they will offer even 90% of parts found in big/exclusive sets. There are too many parts in LEGO inventory, not to mention colors as well. I personally would be very much contented if they offer an average of 20 - 25 sen per part for common parts.

Does anyone have the rough idea how much per piece for the sets (regardless of size/theme) selling in our local stores?

20 sen used to get me a very tasty nasi lemak bungkus sweat.gif

Have to separate into licensed and non-licensed set , still. Licensed set hits a wallet-squeezzing 50 sen per piece on average. The rest mostly lingers around 35 - 40 sen. LEGO company LOVE to introduce huge part into the set to justify their 40 sen per piece . Just look at the dino theme. Each dino figure "contributes" to the set , lessening the number of actual parts . And lets look at the Creator motorcycle, just by having 2 big tyres inside... the parts count become <200 for rm100 (assuming 10% discount). I don't want to talk about overpriced ninjago vehicles either that (again) contains 2 or more HUGE tyres.
