QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Dec 15 2012, 08:58 AM) the last time I bought my first LEGO train set 4560 in jusco in 2003 (possibly the last ever of this set in retail... coz the box is beaten up and hastily taped back, seemed like BIB )... I found out a few magnets are missing. submitted my complains in www.lego.com and no respond . Thanks bro! I'll let u know after I build finish in case there is an extra piece inside, but the likelihood of them giving a spare tile is rare I think.If its a grey/light grey 2x1 tile .. i think I might have extra. PM me to know how I can give it to u It's a grey tile (part no: 4211052). QUOTE(didsterius @ Dec 15 2012, 09:59 AM) I didn't get to do my truck. My brother wanted to build the brigade with me, so I let him do the truck and I will do the building. hehehehe. WOAHH! Oh yeah, and it took me 20mins just to sort out number 1 bags. OMG! You poor fella! I haven't opened the number 2 bags yet... I hope I won't encounter such a thing! Anyway, will post up some pics too on progress. I only managed to complete 90% of Part 1. Can't wait to continue summore tonight! By the way.... Got an announcement to make I got these 2 days ago! U are ready for 2013's Modular, the Palace Cinema This post has been edited by scpt: Dec 15 2012, 10:31 AM |

QUOTE(didsterius @ Dec 15 2012, 11:20 AM) I bought them from new zealand... from a site called trademe.... much like our lelong.my and ebay. we can bid or buy now or something like that. best part about it is that you can lay-by for 60 days (put deposit like 20dollars or something and pay balance later). My parents are living there, so they got them for me. yeah it's really a good buy!Costs about RM2.5K for all 4 sets. which is significantly cheaper than buying here I suppose! and no shipping charges cos they all came together with my mum when she came back for holidays 2 days ago.... I'm very blessed to have been this lucky! Those 4 are my first full sets!!! Been refraining from buying so many sets (avengers, lotr, starwars) and only collecting minifigures so far till now And yes, very much looking forward to the palace cinema! and I wish I had the earlier sets like green grocer, cafe corner, market place... but they all costs a bomb now. Green grocer costs as much as the 4 sets combined! Looking for all modular collectors here, maybe we can make bulk orders with bricklink collecting parts for cafe corner like one of the forumers who successfully collected all parts (with subs) for RM700++ only! QUOTE(didsterius @ Dec 15 2012, 11:40 AM) BUT! I sooo sooo regret not buying the monster fighters haunted house set from US... Buy it, then can mod it to be Modular friendly I really want this set. it's so unique. the house was 'made' to look run down and broken. haihhh.... QUOTE(iori @ Dec 15 2012, 12:51 PM) I brought the pet house 1/2 hour ago. Lol. Just swipe the Amex. Hope the 15% still on. LOL. Still lack of fire bridge n town hall. LOL.... Congrats! |

Today's haul
![]() Share some poison These 2 only costs RM92.50 each. It' very worth it IMHO, with lots of pieces plus instructions to build varying sets, not sure if there is a book inside though The SW one is perfect for new SW collectors I guess. ![]() ![]() Some douchebag stole the minifig!! ![]() This post has been edited by scpt: Dec 15 2012, 01:13 PM |

QUOTE(iori @ Dec 15 2012, 01:36 PM) get from BV2, lego shop. finger cross the 15% cash back still on.... does the shop there have any Lego sales? next target firebridge or town hall. or wait for the cinema.... lol.... haha.... day dreaming.... QUOTE(didsterius @ Dec 15 2012, 02:09 PM) Hooray! Good on yah! that's great congrats! don't be fooled by their discounts, they mark up way way higher than RRP then only provide discount, so u only save a little bit. Our sellers here in LYN should be cheaper Added on December 15, 2012, 2:13 pm check out the LYN Street mart for akuning's post. (If i remember correctly) he's selling some modular buildings and the haunted house. but i think he's in JB and price does not include shipping. will try put the link to his thread if i can find it. USD300 including mail is quite reasonable if u take into consideration that the shipping costs at least 50% of the price of the set. but still a bit steep for me tho. Added on December 15, 2012, 2:15 pm hey no worries... slowly, but surely! i would do the same also if i had to. Added on December 15, 2012, 2:21 pm Go sign up at mysale.my if you haven't got an account yet. there's lego sets on sale! Hobbit 79002, Superheroes Batman 6864, Gandalf Returns 9469, City Police Station 7498, Lotr 9473 and many more. Green baseplates also got. Sale ends monday! I'd put up the link here, but you can only view if you sign up. Check it out. Lego Sale at Mysale.my QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Dec 15 2012, 06:10 PM) I saw a few collectors here managed to snag some modular buildings. Once you are bitten by the modular building bug, there is no turning back! one thing I don't like is that all the Modulars' height for each floor are differentFirst you will start to get the past modular, then will try to bricklink the cafe corner, later will MOC your own modular. Most importantly, you need a lot of space to store them fully built! But when you line them up in a row |

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Dec 19 2012, 01:29 PM) us retail pricing is useless benchmark coz local distributor set different standard. Yeah they are ridiculous! Just because it's licensed set they add in extra RM40 LEGO creator / Ninjago (unlicensed) us19.99 ends up as rm109.90 Licensed Avengers Wolverine chopper / Loki truck / and now this Spiderman set also us$19.99 will probably be rm$149.90 , coz the distributor felt like squeezing out more out from it and dont really in the mood to follow us$ retail. |

Our Malaysian online Lego store, Brick Bastion are having a store wide sale, everything are 10% off while a certain few have higher discounts.
At RM116.91, I think 4635 Fun with Vehicles is quite worth it for the number of parts it has |
