Cheap if you order many many things coz when consolidated, you only pay the inital USD24 for 1kg.
The rest is USD3.25 per 500g.

So if you order only 1 set, of course expensive lar.

If you have 3 sets, then you can average it out, so not so expensive lor.

Added on December 13, 2012, 6:02 pmThat's the problem with the shipping of Lego sets from abroad... we're more like shipping 'air' than the actual product coz the boxes that they come in is much bigger. The Quinjet I've ordered actually was housed in a 16.5kg carton box! And the actual box is only 4kg... go figure!

hmm... in that case, might as well look for LYN US Bulk purchase... hahah
might be cheaper.. lols...

not becos of weight la..

The dimensional weight is 25.5KG so i think the package is quite BIG and it attracts the custom's attention to 'investigate'
Luckily my Imperial Shutter arrived safely via USPS

lucky lor.

My maersk train just arrived.. next week few more lego.


I wonder if anyone bought these before.. must be shiok opening the huge box..

so when will u start to assemble the Hulk heli carrier and the quinjet?
remember take photo n share with us...
poison us also...




but without the box, u ok ar?
u dont mind?

he's refering to a external brown box.. to put the lego box inside.

i see i see
my mistake

well i dont mind my lego comes without box but must be brand new sealed.

u see the brown boxes are more cubic like normal box will look like, but our lego box is more flat but large surface so that really eat into volumetric or dimensional weight calculation. when you but both together, 1 lego box into 1 brown box, then your goods volumetric weight may go up 2x to 3x... from the actual weight..

Tats must be super expensive now...

the falcon usd500 become usd3000 now..

the death star still cheap cheap usd320 only.. thinking of buying 2-3 pcs and keep..

same here...
the box is only useful when you wanna sell it..
but quite hard to sell also..

i m still thinking whether i should get those 2nd hand bricks (assorted, depend on luck)
not sure worth the effort or not?


i see...
this one is packed by courier company (DHL/fedex) or middle man company (hopshopgo)?

maybe u should start a bulk...then maybe can get lower shipping price

yeah hor bulk.. but got so many bulk buyers for this kind of set or not?

as for double box packing, usually middleman only do.. (DHL /fedex where got do geh? at least not foc)

bulk yes... but not all same model la...
cos some like not worth the effort/money... but most set definitely YES!

Cos I dont sell my collections so.. no point keeping the box.. haha
and the box will collect dust at home if im keeping it.. lols

definitely bulk is always cheaper to save postage..

Some of the stuff on ebay.com.my is free shipping to Peninsula Malaysia (or COD) - if you're lucky the item you want will be free (for normal post, that is. If you want fast you have to pay extra).

Please spoiler the image la.

While u guys import kotak2 , the humble me only can play with packets . JUst arrived today. Guess how much I spent




Thank god for bricklink's existence. For me to get my parts like above the "normal way".. I must spent at least 2k worth of LEGO sets

better edit your quote big image.
