childhood dream got ignited recently by Shell Lego cars... so this is my result. Still under renovation and waiting for few exotic "grey import" cars from other part of the world (racers tiny turbo series, since the shell's also 1:55 ratio) biggrin.gif

How much are the Tiny Racers ?
Where do you source them from ?

I got them mostly from UK and Germany sellers on eBay or bricklink. The 8154 set is the most expensive one cost me about rm300. It is the biggest set ever for Racers tiny turbo series. The same thing on eBay they asking rm700+.

bricklink ship to malaysia? so many things to collect, start with what first haha.

Bricklink checks your country IP and then tells whether the seller ships to you or not, some sellers do some don't. You just have to confirm with them first

Yup and when for each closed door, there are dozens more waiting to do our business =)

But one lil trap I always fell into  is the lots qouta. If we pick too many different parts from different lots, they will surcharge us.

alanyuppie kor, i see you are MOC guy so you need more bricks in bulk than our normal lego collectors. What puzzles me where you get so many bricks from?

SOmetimes I feel so hand-itchy when I pass by the table in Lego which they put tonnes of bricks for children play. Wanna grab some from there ... sinful..lol

3 M16 rifles with shotgun and grenade launcher attachments, one m110 sniper n XMP rifle. They are from BrickArms . The best custom guns.

I have an extra of this pack, if anyone is interested in these, just pm me.

Spot on bro! rclxms.gif I was just ebay-ing and I saw the custom Lego SWAT team. Man I immediately fall in love but they cost a bomb. SO thinking to DIY my SWAT team.

DO you know where to get those black color minifig?

May I know which seller on Brickarm you bought the weapons? rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

hmm...maybe we should be 'complaining' to lego more often... maybe 1 person per week.
just to let Lego know there is lots of business opportuinity/market here?

what do u all think?
Maybe we should go together TRU malaysia office and submit a memo to express our dissatisfaction.

Speaking of that, what happen to the so-called Lego shop @ Bangsar VIllage? Instead of expanding, I saw it has gone shrinking the Lego choices there!! And there were no customer except me . At this rate they are going to close biz soon

I think it should work both ways if they want to gauge Malaysia's public response to a stanalone Lego store.
They should also provide a good range of Legos at competitive price.
Pricing them so high with half empty shelves won't get them far anywhere in the world.

By the way, don't we already have standalone Lego stores like Brickboys? Still not too sure what they want to achieve with their experiment.
Many to see how many poor parents they can slaughter??

totally agreed. If they are serious about this and price the Lego competitvely, we are more than happy to part with our hard earned money. They have major advantages over online seller since we can physically touch the box, feel it, and bring it home immediately without going thru that annoying shipping period and running risk that our package gone missing along the way

Brickboys are slightly better than TRU nia. In fact their shop in Tropicana Mall is a "half lego half other collectibles", the item offered are so little.

Maybe we as Lego collectors should arrange a group holiday trip to US/Europe go shopping for Lego ourselves rclxms.gif

Is there any solution to lit up the Lego buildings at night? has to be authentic lighting (i.e. light in each room), not just put up one spotlight on top of Legos

wow. really? in Legoland Johor we can buy whatever loose brick we want? Is it cheaper comparing ordering bulk from Bricklink?

Do they have the specialty bricks too? like those bricks with slope, inverted slope etc. Really need those for my "ruined building" diorama

Any reason why this couple is so expensive? The lowest I can find is RM40 each. They are even more expensive than those rare Series 7/8/9 minifigures.

ANyway, I bought them anyway. Too cute to give them a pass. tongue.gif

hmmm..... RM40/ea!!? i believe their set 9465 RRP was RM179.90. sometimes it is better to save up and buy the whole set or wait for used sets.
*
Yeah, I was thinking to get the whole thing but really don't have room/use for other parts. So just get those two. Btw, the Jack Hammer minifig from the very same set is dirt cheap, RM15-20 can get already. Maybe people have a soft spot for the "unhuman" being. lol blush.gif

By the way, I have got this Series 9 Heroic Knight minifig today all the way from UK. Still the price is cheaper than the Zombies!! rclxub.gif
