Think they're holding bottles.

Wad thinking Capt A shouldn't be drinking since he's such a goody two shoes.

And Tony shouldn't be let anywhere near any alcohol since he's an alcoholic (don't know if he still is in the comics)

I think very difficult if you want to wait for discounts. By the time there are sales, the item you may want may no longer be available. This happens in my case as I'm only trying to limit to Batman LEGO for the time being (though being tempted by LOTR range and maybe some modulars (OMG!)

Speaking of Toys R Us? Anyone a regular at 1U who has the One Card? Do you know if you can use the accumulated points in the One Card for purchases at TRU?

I bought a packet of Garrett's Popcorn using the points in the One Card but when I tried to pay with points at Sushi King for dinner, they said their terminal doesn't allow for points deduction. Would be awesome if I can use the points at Toys R Us for LEGO

Have about RM 50 worth of points balance. I had more than RM 70 and used RM 22 for Medium Garrett's Popcorn.

Maybe will go there and check with TRU staff.

Awesome. Have you used it at 1U TRU before?

Tried it at Sushi King and they have that sticker on the floor but the cashier told me their POS terminal is not set up to deduct points.

Awesome. Thanks!

Hmm, I was there last night too. Saw a couple picit picit also (ended up buying some) as I saw him holding the receipt when I came out of the washroom. Then saw another group of 4 people picit picit - 3 guys and a girl.

Just got back from scouting mission at 1U TRU (always forget to check out Parkson and Isetan) and I noticed that the # 76001 The Bat Vs Tumbler Chase seems to be a hot seller this time around. None at 1U TRU.

Sold out at TRU Mid Valley yesterday too. Also Brickboy had about 3 boxes left on the shelf.

True.

But also I think Batman is really awesome

I think there are similar priced sets i.e. Spider-man (I think) but those aren't sold out. Even stocks for # 76000 (Arctic Batman VS Mr. Freeze) are running low.

This leads me to believe either:
a) Batman is awesome (hence a hot seller)
b) Stocks brought in are low
c) Batman sets are shortpacked (don't know if this happens with LEGO)

Anyone keeps track of RRP or know where I can find it (RM)?

Does anyone have RRP for the following? l had it but lost the file.

Thanks.

9469 - Gandalf Arrives
9470 - Shelob Attacks
9472 - Attack On Weathertop
9473 - The Mines Of Moria

Doing some research /comparison.

Thanks bros. If I remember correctly, it could have been RM 489.90.

Teach me a lesson - always make a backup. Even if stored in phone

EDlT:

Doh! I had it as a note in my other phone but e-mailed it to myself so it was no longer in my notes.

Gandalf Arrives - 79.90
Shelob Attacks - 139.90
Attack on Weathertop - 349.90
Mines of Moria - 379.90

All the old set prices are crazy high! Wouldn't be able to afford them.

Saw the old Batcave set going for RM 1000 on eBay. Plus we all know the price of the Tumbler.

Don't know why they didn't include Alfred in 2012 Batcave set though.

What a beautiful sight.

Looks like more stock then some of the AEON toy sections I've been to

Lucky I'm not into Iron Man / Marvel that much

I have all the new sets except the 2 Exclusives:

6857 - The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape  
10937 - Batman: Arkham Asylum Breakout

Hope the price is right and I don't order other stuff! Already pre ordered a couple of other toys arriving then.

I haven't opened my Batcave set yet. Out of all the sets I got, I only opened Catwoman Cycle and The Bat vs Tumbler set.

You're right. LEGO downsized all the 2012 sets ad I believe almost all are remakes of the older sets except a few.

The 2012 Batcave is more like Bat-Platforms! And it's missing Alfred. And it's based in the worst Batman movie ever!

It's the only one I could get and I got it at a pretty good price.

But I think overall the set is ok cause:
A) it's got Bruce Wayne
B) it's got that Batcycle that can be used as the Batpod
C) the quick change Bruce to Batman feature is pretty nifty
D) it's got Posion Ivy and comic Bane

No. Not that I prefer MISB. No place.

I should take a photo of my store room and post it here

When you say "my", is it for personal or stocks for sale?

Point 2 - my wife isn't completely against me spending on toys but she always says she doesn't understand why someone would spend hundreds on plastic

Then I tell her it's my hobby and at least I don't smoke, drink or gamble and she's kinda ok with it.

Was planning to concentrate on keeping my collection of LEGO real/realistic like Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. Ended up buying the Arctic Batman set

But the completist in me would probably want to get the Funhouse and Arkham sets.

Already trying to resist the power of Sauron and The One Ring

If not because of my other collectibles, I'd have gotten the LOTR sets for the Fellowship

Yeah, I may probably get this and the Arkham set if the price is right

Love that M41A assault rifle from Aliens. Got a 1/6th version myself. Nice squad you have there!


Just picture spam - the other reason I can't afford more LEGO - Hot Toys (with their LEGO counterparts of course!)



If I didn't get the Batman, that money could've gone to the Arkham set! But I had to get a replacement, I had a DX02 (this is DX12) which got stolen 2 years ago when my house was broken into

Got money to buy toys but no money to buy a proper camera. Excuse the grainy shot, taken indoors on Galaxy Note II. Sometimes I think, "spend so much money on toys but can't buy a proper camera". But then I wonder - will I get maximum use out of my camera and if I don't, I would have thought "I should've used that money for more toys!"

Hahaha. I was trying to go for this but couldn't



Actually - wanted to go for this pose but:
- don't have the right hands
- was rushing
- displayed on sofa to take pics so it was also very unstable



Ok - back to talking LEGO! Saw someone selling LOTR Mines Of Moria set dirt cheap! But resisting! Seller only has 1 set and it's probably sold by now.

Once upon a time, I was tempted but can't remember for what. I guess we learn and share that it's not the best way for LEGO.

Not really LEGO related but here's an interesting article I found on Google+

Children Around The World With Their Prized Possessions

Interesting character study too by the photographer.

Wonder what we would look like with our LEGO and/or Toy Collection!

"Adults Around The World With Their Prized Possessions". I'd probably be slapping the photographer's hand if he touched my toys

Hi bro - are these your photos?

What app are you using? I've been trying to find a software to insert speech bubbles etc.
