Overall, I had a blast building it. The amount of tiny details in them are amazing!
Now I understand about the unconventional building methods that the modular buildings are famous for brows.gif

I know the feeling of not getting the whole set! It's like... not complete. Hahaha. Ok nvm forget I said that. tongue.gif
But I get what you mean!
I'm a huge fan of Team GB & the Olympics so when I heard about the Olympic Team GB minifigs I knew I had to get them! tongue.gif

My dad had this stash of Lego hidden in the house for a very very long time. He bought it for my brother but then my brother didn't really bother taking care of them so my dad decided to keep them safe! He put them all in a box and he forgot about it until I started to show an interest in Lego after collecting the CMFs.

so luckyyyyy! i wish i had all my old stash. my mum said last time when younger dont want to keep properly. now old already only wanna play hahahhhaa

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.

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.

Disaster #2, there is a deformed tile in my set sad.gif Hopefully there is spare, else I can claim replacement from Lego, right?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
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

WOAHH! notworthy.gif Mind sharing where u bought those?
U are ready for 2013's Modular, the Palace Cinema brows.gif I'm still missing Grand Emporium & Town Hall
*
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!

RM2.5K more or less! But "puas hati" kinda spending for lego sets, esp when you get 4 of the ones you want, without ALJ pricing! brows.gif

great, nice price still can consider. have any source who sell it here at RM8++?

just search at ebay and the price near USD300 include priority mail. good price?

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.

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

that's absolutely spot on! ahhahhaha. i was just explaining to my brother those steps... rclxms.gif

yeah my main problem right now is space, and maintenance i.e keeping them dust free.

completed fire brigade. will assemble the other 3 next year perhaps. rclxm9.gif

hey lego people!

Happy New Year!! thumbup.gif hope everyone's a-okay. Been a while since I logged in... was away for a few weeks.

Anyway, just wanted to share that I've gotten my Series 9 minifigs already biggrin.gif

Attached Image

Got them all the traditional way of picit2.... took me almost 2 hours to find all the figures LOL...

Bought them on 26th December 2012... I'm so happy!!! Now I have all the series 2 - 9 minifigs, except the Mafia and Snowboarder from Series 5.... Anyone got and can help? icon_question.gif

Oh yeah, I also got 2 Series 1 minifigs (cos I bought the brick calendar hahahaha). Don't think I want to collect S1, it's too pricey. I'd rather get a set of modular or building instead.
