I think the 15% cash back is gone by now whistling.gif

My Fire Brigade progress: only finished the vintage fire truck. It's so good looking that I spent 5 minutes admiring it just now laugh.gif
Although it isn't a big truck, but I spent 40 minutes to complete this.

20 minutes to sort out the parts from bags with number "1".
Disaster #1, I somehow mixed a bag of number "2", all small parts into these pile (worst thing is I don't know which parts cry.gif) I didn't realize until I was keeping the bags, now I have to be extra careful in picking pieces

Disaster #2, there is a deformed tile in my set sad.gif Hopefully there is spare, else I can claim replacement from Lego, right?

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 .

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 smile.gif

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.
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.
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!  icon_idea.gif

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.

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  thumbup.gif

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!
*
yeah it's really a good buy!

QUOTE(didsterius @ Dec 15 2012, 11:40 AM)
BUT! I sooo sooo regret not buying the monster fighters haunted house set from US...

I really want this set. it's so unique. the house was 'made' to look run down and broken. haihhh.... icon_question.gif

Buy it, then can mod it to be Modular friendly brows.gif

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....

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 laugh.gif
The SW one is perfect for new SW collectors I guess.

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.

hey no worries... slowly, but surely! i would do the same also if i had to.  smile.gif

Check it out.

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

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!  sweat.gif

First 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  laugh.gif

one thing I don't like is that all the Modulars' height for each floor are different

Not much difference with BL. The US RRP is USD19.99, some sellers will sell it at a lower price.
So for those who can wait, then wait for BL sellers to have stock laugh.gif

us retail pricing is useless benchmark coz local distributor set different standard.
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.

Yeah they are ridiculous! Just because it's licensed set they add in extra RM40 doh.gif If they follow RM109.90 it's still reasonable

kreos really tak laku, got sales up to 40%n more of RRP fr tiime to time, LoL

Kreos although is a high quality Lego knock off compared to the Chineses', the difference of the piece quality is still drastic.
Before I got back into Lego, I tried 2 sets of Transformers Kreos. Although at that time I haven't touch Lego in many many years, I immediately felt the difference when building them (somehow the feel of building Lego was not lost in me rclxub.gif ). The way they lay on one another, just feels soooo different! laugh.gif

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
