Bro Alby,

I actually ordered one set of 10937 Arkham Asylum for you. Expected arrival in mid April. I know you didn't confirm to order it but I ordered anyway because I want to compare and see who can get better pricing. If you are cheaper next time I buy through you.

Haha! No worries bro Alby! I know you were just asking but thought since other may want it I just order only la. I'm very curious to see if I can bring sets in at a competitive price for the benefit of everybody here in the forum. No obligation on you to take it up. Who knows, maybe I'll just keep it for myself! lol!

Yeah, I saw that in Lelong too and was planning to . The photo do look very nice but am skeptical the real thing is as good as in the picture.

Btw, for those who are interested with 10937 Batman Arkham Asylum, there is one set for sale at Lelong for RM480.



Nice price right? The catch is NO MINIFIG! I think everybody wants the minifigs but I'm posting this just in case someone here have a nice collection of Super Heroes minifigs but no building for them to play/fight in...

Wah! You guys very expert! Knows who's who in the market!

Actually is it safe to buy from Lelong sellers? I have never bought anything there before but last week found my way there because I wanted storage drawers for my Lego parts. I signed up, pm the seller but never get a reply. Is that normal?

Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll just try place an order and test. Funny the seller never reply my pm inquery....

Me too! RM650 I also want!!

I'd say go for Fire Brigade first and then Grand Emporium. the Pet Shop I find it so so only... Welcome to the Modular club!!

Cool! I'll be interested to find out more from you.:-)

Yeah, first question on my mind was can "bypass" paying tax or not? Hahaha!

Hey guys!

I am on my way back from Singapore. In fact only just passed Customs few minutes ago and asked what was the two boxes at the back on my car. I told him it was Lego and he just went "oh!" and waved me through with a smile!

I was in Singapore today for a meeting and had a little time to dash to the Lego store. Nothing much this time for me but found something that may interest some of you here.

Ironman 3 set - 76007 Malibu Mansion Attack!

I'm not familiar with Super Heroes pricing but I thought $80 was a good price so I grabbed two boxes. Didn't dare to buy too much in case trouble with Customs later. I inquired about the other Ironman 3 sets and they tell me 76006 have stock in another outlet while 76008 coming in a few weeks.

I bought the two boxes of 76007 because I gather from reading this forum that some of you wanted it. Two sets of 76007 up for grabs! My cost is $80 (RM200) so whoever wants it just pay me anything above my cost will do.

My apologies to whoever that has requested this set from me in the past. I m on the road now so very inconvenient to scan through my mailbox to see who was first and second in the queue for this set. So I'm just posting here to inform everybody first and maybe tomorrow I wil check my mailbox.

I fully agree with you on this! From my experience if using reputable and fast couriers like DHL, USPS etc chances of escaping the tax man is higher. And nowadays Amazon will calculate tax for you, if Amazon don't charge you for import tax at the checkout then you will not need to pay tax.

Fire Brigade is my favourite of all the Modular Buildings, it has very good details and playability. I think I repeated this many times! hahaha!

You certainly cannot beat the details of the Modular Buildings, honestly if you were to combine normal Lego City theme with Modulars it will look a little weird. The colours and building details are just totally different. You are right to say that the Lego City theme offers different kind of playability, it's just that once you get poisoned by Modulars the normal City stuff pale in comparison and I personally find it boring to build...

Hi guys,

Finally I get enough rest to write my first Lego shopping report.

That was my little haul yesterday. Was on a day trip to Singapore yesterday and had a little time before I leave to check out one of my favourite Lego store in Singapore: ToysHunt. They have branches in Novena Square, Great World City and Tampines. I've visited both Novena Square branch and Great World City main branch in the past but not Tampines. Personally I like their Novena Square branch more because it is well organised, the main branch at Great World City is much bigger but I find it more cluttered probably because they have more stuff lying all over the place...

Also Novena Square is more convenient for me as sometimes I take the bus rather than drive and the bus stop right at Novena Square. So nothing beats browsing the shop while waiting for the bus to depart, gives me extra incentive to wait patiently for my return bus ride and usually time flies when you are in the Lego shop!

ToysHunt is very well stocked not only with Lego sets but also almost all things Lego like mugs, t-shirts, bags etc. They have a good selection of every theme including Duplo and they are very up to date with the latest releases. Just yesterday I stumbled upon one of the three Iron Man 3 sets: 76007. Super Heroes theme is not in my radar but I just grabbed two sets anyway since I find the price of $80 to be 'reasonable' for a set that size... They don't have the sets I want at the price I want so I might as well help someone here in the forum. I know quite a few forum members wanted 76006, 76007 and 76008 so I inquired for the benefit of everyone here:

76006: $50.90 (out of stock in Novena Square, available at Great World City)
76007: $79.90 (more than 5 sets in Novena Square)
76008: $29.90 (out of stock but new shipment expected in a few weeks)

Again, I'm not familiar with Super Heroes sets pricing so please make your own judgement on this. The base plates I find to be quite reasonable at $13.90 a piece for 32x32 and $24-$27 for 48x48.

There are several points that make ToysHunt stand out against other Lego stores:

1. They sell loose parts!
2. They sell parted out sets! ie. for example they have LOTR Unexpected Gathering set without minifigs. SW sets without minifigs.
3. They sell lots of minifigs!!! Minifig collectors will drool until the floor is banjir! haha!
4. They sell custom minifig & weapons! Fancy a SWAT team? They have it!
5. They sell custom minifig casings. These are good quality ones made in USA/Europe. I remember reading it somewhere before...
6. They always have some sets on special promo.

This time 6873 Spider-man's Doc Ock Ambush slashed from $79.90 to $59.90 and UCS B-Wing slashed from $415 to $369 thereabouts. I was undecided whether to take one set each of 6873 and 76007 but in the end just went for two of 76007.

Well, this is my mini report on ToysHunt. They have an online store too: www.toyshunt.com.sg

I don't have the luxury of roaming around Singapore to check out other Lego stores but ToysHunt is pretty darn impressive to me and I think should be up there with the best if not the best in Singapore.

Very nice find bro!

I'm older than you la!

Nice photo! Very sharp!

Hmmm.... Looks like a discontinued set so I doubt anyone can bring it in at a reasonable price as it is no longer in the big distributors' warehouse. Your only luck is finding collectors or resellers who are willing to let it go at a reasonable price. On the other hand it does not look like a very complicated build so why not "BrickLink" it? It shouldn't have too many rare/hard to find parts so it may be cheaper to BrickLink one.

I was also quite interested with this set when I came back to Lego but the lure of Modular Buildings were too strong! I went to the dark side! hahaha!

Anyway, this may not be too exciting news but just want to report that Metrojaya at The Curve is having 10% off Lego. (this may probably apply to all Metrojaya outlets) I was there few hours ago and came across a roadshow at the centre court, that's where I saw the Lego on sale. They have quite a bit of Chima and City themed sets there. Lego Land Malaysia have a booth there too. From what I can see during my very brief stay, it will last till 31st March apparently in conjunction with the school holidays.

Wow! Good job bro! Nice execution!

I was also at Ikea yesterday, had the same idea and was looking down at the Ribba frame, picked it up and thought really hard about it but in the end gave up the idea because no time and too lazy... Thanks for the inspiration! Maybe this is the push I need to get this going! haha!

I'm still undecided on this display method, good thing is it is sealed from dust but downside is I cannot have easy access to the minifigs should I want to play with it... That's why was hesitant yesterday to buy the Ribba frame, still pondering my options...

Yay! Another Modular fan!

I'm new here also, just joined a week plus... Please share photos of your collection ya!

Pls do share!

Haha! For a fellow modular kaki I don't mind helping you buy and post it up north to you!


Wow! How he managed to do it at that price?!? Hope he bring more sets in, I want!

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!

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!

Picture spam a bit. This morning I finally took some Lego photos, no choice because cannot defer this anymore, letting this baby go in 2hrs....







I love the X-Wing, one of my favourite SW set! Good size, solid build so nothing comes loose or falls apart when you swoosh it around. The wing mechanism is very clever.



A side-by-side shot with a modular building just to give an idea of the size. (And also to poison modular kakis here! )

This baby is going to a new home today, selling it to a fellow forumer. I need to make room for new sets and this unfortunately got the chop! Built it up during Chinese New Year and just left it on the shelf eversince so decided to let it go rather than collect dust. This morning while taking the photos it was my first time having a good look at it and moving it around a bit, it grows on me and I felt a tinge of regret that I have to let it go... I'm sure the new owner will enjoy this model more than I did!

Farewell R2, you will be missed!

Oops!

Sorry la! I actually posted here in the forum but I guess the posts were moving so fast you may have missed it!

I still have another set in 99% mint box. You want?

Really? I'm a registered Lego VIP member from several years ago when I came back to Lego but so far have yet to successfully place an order with them. Sakit hati to see all those points and free gifts fly out the window...

Oh yes I'm very sure of that! This new owner is a very nice gentleman!

Yes! This is the first set of the Modular Building line. 10182 Cafe Corner. My prized possession!

Haha! The Force was with me and I had R2-D2 to navigate for me! It was a pleasure meeting you bro hapeace! Enjoy your new baby!

Hi! You got PM! Suddenly I have few peeps wanting the UCS R2-D2, I posted before and nobody inquired.... I guess photos do help!

Yeah, I'm missing it already but it's ok, I have more new sets coming and I really need to make room for it. I will get this set again when I clear more shelf space in the future!
