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.

u started collecting lego since 30 years ago?

was poor when i was small...only playing those cheapo imitation bricks...lego bricks is a far far away dream
u got an awesome collection

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..
if u dont me asking... u bought it from which website? lego europe? they willing to ship here?

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.
i m collecting starwars piece...
i think the current starwars price will go up...since disney bought over lucas film...
