The other sets (pumps, retail station, etc) comes next year

Aww, how I wish there's a seller here in LYN selling the Daiso case. Lol.

Thanks anyways guys.

yeah, the series set. I got only 2 at the moment but dunno wanna collect all or not.. hmm..
the older series are darn expensive!
And not all figs are nice unfortunately.. :/

having 2nd thoughts... my priority would be complete my Avengers/Marvel sets 1st.. hmm...
Then was thinking LOTR as well. Maybe just the 9 main characters and maybe also all the Hobbits.

Too many to collect! Ninja Turtle coming soon...

Oh my package already arrived today actually, my mum just informed me. Just that I sent it to my hometown, it shall be a Christmas present for myself when I go back

Holy molly.. So many Hobbit sets. I am seriously curious how much it cost you to buy and ship these sets all the way here from Germany. I wonder if it will actually be CHEAPER than waiting for our local distro and LLM to bring them all here. Really tempted to try out bricklink....

I too noticed the sudden surge in the number of posts in this thread. It is as if all the Lego fans started coming out from their Lego vaults to post.

Anyway, some Lego Shell pictures. The new Shell Lego sets have some interesting pieces to modify my old Town sets.


Even old town sets would LOVE to try out V-power


From the mid 80s? No problem!


The original Shell F1 racer is no match for the new Shell Ferrari F1 racer. Printed parts is a million times better than stickers.

i think i still have 5% of this set bricks first released close to ~30 years ago! OMG!

Definitely still works out cheaper than local retail by about 40-45%, even after factoring shipping and taxes.
Dont think I've bought anything locally for quite some time.

The estimated RRP for Hobbits once it hits our shores would be about RM 399 for Unexpected Gathering, RM 499 for Goblin Battle. Not buying those prices here..

I've only collected the whole set of series 7. And I managed to win a bid for the whole set of olympic figs on Ebay for rm160 including shipping.
Wanted to collect whole of series 8, but then my dad said I'm spending too much money on Lego. So I decided to just get the few cute ones that I like to avoid having an argument with him.
Heh.

Trying to collect the Avengers minifigs. Already have hawkeye, loki, and Iron Man so far.
Got a friend in UK who managed to get the Thor promotional polybag for me during the Sun newspapers promo.

So left black widow, hulk, and...captain america!

Trying to get my dad to get me the Captain america set as a christmas present for me. Heehee.

RM160 for Olympic figs is a great catch!
I was thinking of getting several cute onces as well.. but just feel it's not complete if I dont get the whole set.. hahah
My Marvel/Avengers so far I have Magneto, Wolverine, Deadpool and Capt America. Still waiting to get the remaining of the Avengers team...
I gotta buy my own Christmas Presents.. hahah...

so..from what i read.. so this ALJ company is selling 30-40% higher than LEGO in the USA price?

Focus bro, focus. Otherwise u end up broke and have nothing.

When I see the prices in Amazon, I want to buy at their prices instantly. Didn't even have a second thot.

When I see the prices in local TRU, first thing came to mind is price. Then walk away & secretly hope , somewhere, somehow, sometime the prices will go down.

But I know is just a wishful thinking. Will not happen in Msia

* that's y shell Lego is 2012 best news for me

Well, comparing the price for the big sets like the police station on Lego Shop At home US website, you can see that:
1) City police station - US 99.99. Local price RM 549.90
2) Dino Defence HQ - US 99.99. Local price RM 549.90
3) Jabba's Palace - US 119.99.Local price RM 800+
4) The Malevolence - US 119.99. Local price RM 600+
.. did I mentioned got FREE DELIVERY, FREE CHRISTMAS SET too?

The biggest rip-off is the Jabba's Palace IMHO. On Lego Shop at home it is THE SAME PRICE as the Malevolance!

Luckily I do not buy Star Wars otherwise it is really an expensive hobby.

Hi sherwin, how many percent will our custom tax for toys? Also was thinking on whether wanna get technic set (unimog) from brick link. Doesn't differ much if it's taxed. Can get locally for 700+

Other AFOLs, any other alternative for technics?

oic... is there any page or link that explains how to order from that lego shop usa? i saw a few set that i really like to have in future..huhu

If you have friends or family there that are willing to help you. It should be no issue.

yeah, I need to focus on one first.. but its so tempting! cant resist...

lego shop usa does not ship to here, nor does it ship to forwarding agents in usa. they told me to go make some frens in the states and use their home address instead.

sigh... hope Lego singapore HQ will make an online store soon...huhu T_T

for me, i hv complete S6, S7 & S8 + plus additional /spare here n there
Some are intentionally buy extra cos like the design
some of the family members


for the Olympic, i only hv the gymnast & the archer.
would'nt dare buy those early series (S1-S3)
super expensive yo!
