Couple of months back into it and you have 3 Modulars and two Train sets? Pretty impressive, I'd say. Well done. LOL

Buying minifigures series in 1 shot (full set) is a good thing when u dont want to waste time picit2 or fuel + toll to go to TRU..

but i kind of like to picit2 and the feeling when ur getting the right minifigs biggrin.gif

Doing that to get extras of those you want is probably a better idea IMO, after securing a full set for yourself. This is provided you intend to get a full set, that is. There's always a risk that hoarders would go all out to secure the hot figures as soon as they are released, leaving those who rely on this method a risk to miss out on a full set. Just my two cents.

You don't seriously expect to come in here and have people just spoon feed you with everything you ask for, right? There are some longtime collectors here who have bought from hundreds of different sellers from several continents. You don't really expect them to log in to their accounts, go through all their feedback and try to recall everything just so he can give you information that is nobody but yours to find out.

In the first place, BL is very much a place of trial and errors, so why make a fuss over something like that. Personally, I don't really believe I've bought from the same seller more than once or twice. There's really no 'awesome', 'better' or 'very recommended' sellers or whatnot. It's about who's offering the exact stuff you need and who has it for the best price at the moment. Anyways, no offense since that's just my two cents.

Wow, I don't know where you got the 100, 1000 names part from but whatever makes you happy man. Anyways helping and sharing is fine and all but how do you expect help when we have no idea what set/part/fig he is looking for in particular? I mean, that's a serious lack of information there. And even if it's just a request for any shops in general, the fact here remains that it is obvious the best prices are listed first and from there you find your way to determine whom you should buy from by ASKING the sellers to quote you the shipping prices so you can compare.

Again, here it's up to YOURSELF because only YOU know what YOU want from that particular seller. Don't know if that made my opinion any clearer to you but that's an opinion nonetheless. Oh well.

PS. Typing out my point of view is no fuss to me regardless of the length. Just thought you should know before you assume further/again.

10 steps will be very difficult to certain ppl.

i suggest 3 steps only

1. pay alister88 what you want to buy and provide him the link
2. alister88 order and received the lego
3. collect lego from alister88 and belanja him teh tarik.

there is NO secret nor the purpose of keeping one. The BL search feature allows search by "best price". from the search result... we can knock ourselves out choosing cheapest/preferred seller and what else he has to offers that rocks our sampan.
as for personal recommendations... I have a dozen and no specific "favorite". Even if I mention lets say seller "XXX" my favorite, that seller might not offer what others are looking for (maybe he specialising on parts, not set.. or certain themed sets).

part of the fun in LEGO as a hobby is the scouting/searching online or in shops, rather than "direct me immediately to what I want." . I cherish every moment until the parcel came/unboxing, and assembly .  I heard some got the kicks from admiring stacked MISB toy boxes against the wall tongue.gif

My point, exactly. What secrets are there to be had if BL is already a very much open market-like place? And it has ALWAYS been that way. Everything there are already all sorted out properly according to their prices and stuff. And the inventory for each shop changes very frequently - some on a daily basis, others possibly even faster. The only way to even shop effectively there is subjective to each person's preference. Whichever person you feel comfortable and confident buying from, that's your recommended seller right there.
