That's why you're sorta wrong...

Demand > New + limited supply = High price.
Demand < Old + High supply = Lower (than even RRP) price.

Basic economics... we're seeing most of the 2013 sets now being hoarded up by resellers, and selling for 3X its RRP.
Until TLG releases more, it will stay high at the moment. Even thru Bricklink it's not cheap... go and try

Camera skill cha. haha

heheh nice formula..but also maybe coz its new then everybody so hype want to gets it..also poison from other people..

this set is not out yet right at our local TRU/AEON/Parkson & dont know the RRP in malaysia yet..

somebody said this set is available at LEGOLAND at price RM139.90..not sure here or in BOM..correct me if im wrong

so if i keep this 1 set MISB, would be a good investment like the 7888 tumbler?

As with all Lego sets, it will appreciate in value within 4-5 years of its release, however there are some exception to the rules.

My advice? If you are a fan, just open and assemble it. Enjoy it.

Don't be like those Americans, they can make a business out of it because, well, they can.

But for us, hard to invest and hope&pray that they will appreciate high enough for us to retire and just sell Lego for a living...

so every year must collect at least one box ....

I dunno... normally a $20 set would end up as RM149.90 in Malaysia.
A $25 set would end up RM169.90... etc, etc...

Which is why, if you think a seller like me is over-charging you, you can just say no and walk away, no harm, no foul.
You always have a choice...

But for those who supported me, you know where I came from, if my pricing too high, I wouldn't have any sales... simple as that.

FYI.

1. Parkson klcc sell lego chima theme already !

2. Lego.com every purchase over $75 dollar will give a free Chima set ... !



Wah Makimo spread SW poison already .. luckily am immune to all 2013 new SW ... i only takut the old 80th SW virus... hehehe.

Well, apparently Lego/ALJ wants to push Legend of Chima out the door as soon as possible because of low world-wide demand.
Which is why our local supplier can get it quick. However for the popular themes like SW and DC Comic, it's going to be a longer wait, I presume.

Can forget about buying from shop.lego.com... unless you have a friend in the USA that can resend to you... they will cancel your orders if your destination is a 3rd party forwarder...

No lar, I'm just providing a viable and attractive alternative to our local retailers. I still haven't been able to properly secure the stocks... damn hard with everyone clamoring for a piece of the pie...

i support u bro! keep those sets coming..for me, u already gave us options of buying rathern than just local store


Following up to @kaneshiro21 tumbler MOC..below are my parts ordering from BL..took 3 different store for the parts and still missing the cannon launcher which i plan to buy Chima 70101 (RM69.90) just to get the cannon only

after this wait reply from seller correct?

buy all at once may have risk of lost parcel i think

Trying to get the Grey Base X-Large plate... can get around RM90/pc...
Ok or not? Some ppl did request for the base plates...

more on upcoming Lego Mindstorms
more more on upcoming Lego Mindstorms

I think i will get one of this, have to start saving from now on as my bro-in law will be back from US in July or August this year. Keep my fingers crossed!

huh? really ah? huhu..

Please pray for me lor

not sure...so far happen to me that i order 2 small envelope one, got 1 missing...

luckily it was insured

insured how much ah? then meaning u got ur money back right?

i bought once in parkson only RM49 .... which i put my kingdom castle on it.

Dude... this is the X-tra large plate lar...

The RM49 is the smaller one... plus how long ago you bought it?


Anyhow, if it's too ex, I also dun want to bring in...

32x32 cost about RM35 (blue and green), the x-large is 48x48 about RM50 (grey only). Don't know of any larger ones. RM90 is definitely too expensive if it is 48x48.

no...i dont want money back...i asked for replacement

Fuhhh... luckily not yet buy...
But where can get these plate ah? Can't seemed to find in any local retailers...
