QUOTE(Bigfoot-X @ Mar 26 2013, 09:08 AM) Totally agree with bro daydreaming's reply. No new sets means will look to older sets when hand starts to get itchy. For me it's the LOTR sets. Still can't get over it. Maybe I should start to build my unopened sets first to satisfy the "hunger"....... yeah bro, as a reseller, i hope you will buy n buy n buy. but as a fellow collector n hobbyist........... finish ur unopened sets first. buy only if its retiring soon, limited edition, or cheap price  not nice to hv too much backlogs

QUOTE(Bigfoot-X @ Mar 26 2013, 09:25 AM) If the price is right - of course will support the brothers (and sisters, if there are any) here! My concern about your 2nd paragraph - if it's sold out here (retail), all of you have lubang to bring in? Example during my recent scouting missions, I hardly see Set # 9473 (The Mines Of Moria) on the shelves. Don't see many bros here carrying that in stock (or maybe I wasn't really looking!). Assuming if and when I want to get it (and if I start the LOTR, I want the whole Fellowship), resellers here will be able to get it? I'm asking as I'm new to the "game". i am bringing that in, but my price is not the best. no promotion at that time. i think seydee has some  u can ask him about it. if US still has the item...and not retired. then no issue, we can bring them in. but i got customers asking for retired stuff like the space shuttle and pirates of the carribean ships...........those very hard lor

QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Mar 26 2013, 10:59 AM) Bro Mr. Ably, can meh? I have tried with Lego Shop US and twice they cancelled my order because they think I'm doing a drop ship thingy... I couldn't bothered to reply to them and appeal but maybe I should? I missed out on so many nice sets and promo because of that...  Can you share how you do it? I shop at Lego Shop Online USA using my Malaysian credit card but shipping address I use one of those shopping services' PO box like Vpost. Maybe that's the problem? The first time I tried I use a friend's home address in USA also kena rejected by Lego. If can find a way to buy from Lego Shop Online we can get our hands on those free minifigs mini sets! either you ask hopshopgo or freight fwder to help u buy (they charge), or u ship to someone's address n hv them help u ship to msia. LEGO and some stores like Target don ship to freight forwarder address such as hopshopgo

QUOTE(didsterius @ Mar 26 2013, 11:06 AM) yeah yeah same! i always use vpost when buying things from US, it was fine. but i read somewhere that lego.com will not send to freight forwarding address... so vpost was out of the question? haiyahhh... if i buy palace cinema from US it's only RM450++ plus shipping maybe close to RM600 d. eh, good lar. maybe can bargain to 720? or 750 la. anything that price for modular is good ok price. RM700 and below is a steal deal! expensive or not shipping? they give forwarding address too, no? you forgot custom tax 10% on top of ur shipping + item price. u hv to buy bulk else it'll be very expensive to bring 1 item in unless someone carrying it for u.

QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Mar 26 2013, 11:38 AM) Thanks guys! I will check out HopShopGo. What I want is to be able to use my credit card for points collection and also to collect Lego VIP points. Can I still earn Lego VIP points if I use HopShopGo service? Yeah, so bro Alby you use friend's address then?  Forwarder's address don't work for me leh! Actually I have worked out that buying from USA is not the cheapest. (For me anyway.) Even though Lego Shop Online USA prices are cheap, shipping cost is a real killer and add together it is actually very expensive. My incentive to buy from Lego Shop Online USA is more because I want those limited edition gifts like the free TC-14 minifig with the purchase of 10227 UCS B-Wing and those Christmas themed mini sets. So sakit hati to see Lego reject my Chritmas orders two years in a row!  LEGO VIP is only open for US citizens.  u can try to be VIP still, but risk getting banned if they found out

QUOTE(Ultraman the great @ Mar 26 2013, 11:50 AM) can buy from lego.com using your local CC. but you cannot ship to a forwarder address. I think lego.com stopped this practice about 9 months ago. if you have an address in US, they can ship to that address, no problem!! but anyone tried the VIP before? can u become a VIP if u r not a US citizen?

QUOTE(Yiha9944 @ Mar 27 2013, 12:44 PM) wow...such detail explanation  thx bro As i just get into lego SW series so i was looking for 7655/7667/8014 but the price is almost double or triple the retail now...  legos don really reissue same set. they will create new variations for SW like red x-wing. but more or less, they look quite similar. mill falcon i think they wont reissue. because there's no other ships in SW universe that looks like mill falcon.

QUOTE(Ultraman the great @ Mar 27 2013, 03:49 PM) yeah considering retail in msia last time was bout 400+ only. i was looking high and low for this set a couple of months back. but everyone already asking very high price... and a lot of resellers are still bringing in this set now cos i was told its still very hot and a lot of ppl looking for it...  QUOTE(didsterius @ Mar 27 2013, 03:56 PM) I remembered last year can get the black pearl for about RM480 only. So tempted to get last time but unfortunately no money at that time cos saving up for modulars. Now they selling for RM750?? like ALJ only! BLack Pearl is already retired ler. its not easy to find nowadays unless u go bid for it in ebay. even in Ebay, the price is very very crazy. i hv a lot of people looking for Black Pearl but i told them the price no longer justify. better wait for next Pirate movie.
