Hi everyone. Actually i am also a newbie in lego collector. I started to collect them after the launch of the shell ferrari lego sets recently. I has been following this thread for a period of time. I did post several posts in this thread.
Owning lego sets was a dream when i was kid but the dream never come true to 2day (20+ nw). Glad to know dat in such modern day now, while almost everyone, even including very young kid, is holding smartphone and tablet, play games, online, there is still a group of ppl (not sure u guys r young or old) who r very interested n passionate wif the lego sets. Before this, i thought lego is an out-dated kid play toy, until i found this thread, then only i realized dat. Nop, this is a trend even though the publicity and promotion of lego is not as hot as las time, but it still caught many ppl attention.
Happy to join u guys in lego collection. Thank god there r several lego importers in this thread and sell lego cheaper compare to retail shop.
Hopefully it is not too late to start lego collection nw.
Happy lego-ing!! =)
Welcome. And it's better late than never to start collecting!
I'm 33 going on 34, married and still buy toys

I guess I was kinda lucky and spoilt when I was a kid as my parents got most of the toys I wanted.
But now that I'm earning my own money and have own spending ability I bought certain reissues of toys that I uaed to own.
I remember my dad getting me the Hasbro Optimus Prime (G1) for RM 89.90 back in the day. I treasured it like gold until my mum let her tuition students play with it and totally destroyed it. A MIB G1 would cost RM 500 - 600.
Lucky Takara Tomy reissued it a couple of years back and I bought it again but think it was around RM 200.
