while wife and kids having their naps, I took this golden opportunity to start building my space monorail 6990 set. For today, I finished the monorail track and the space stations. more to come

Nice features of this vintage set:
1. the monorail runs on 9V battery. cool stuff. Long time I never buy 9V boxy battery liao since my last electric toy
2. one of the station can actually move its blue canopies and plates to become another shape! this I never realized before
3. two switches that controls the direction of the monorail, whether go clockwise/anti-clockwise/stop completely. (haven't tried myself, just by looking at the instruction manual)
3. comes with 4 minifigs with space utility vehicle

mine is a used set , already 20+ years old but luckily no major dents or missing parts. Just the usual discolor of white bricks. I can see why this commands such high price after so many years even I willing to fork out RM600+ for this. I see some brand new sealed one on ebay is asking for RM2000-RM4000

Maybe alby kor/ ddreaming kor should keep some of their haul to store room and only sell it after 20 years. iron man set for RM2000 maybe? Can recoup all the money in one shot

alan kor, maybe it's time for you buy modular and to "transform" them into gigantic robots. or better yet, make them into 3-in-1 what Lego creator does, Modular building, air ship, and robot

Trying to influence Alan to buy modular ...hum...hum....

it's a two-edge sword imo. on one hand it should reduce the cost and hoepfully translate to lower retail price; on the other hand, maybe the quaity may degrade to give way for lower production cost

as long as the quality don't degrade too much, i welcome this move so can buy more lego. anyway my legos are meant for display and i usually don't tear them down once they are assembled.

aarrrghh... wallet crying for help already... must resist.... (don't include galaxy squad set bro. ... otherwise,,, my last defence might collapse and I might poke another hole in my poor wallet )

we should share share our unused parts,,, put in one pile of bricks and each choose what they need. i also got a small pile of bricks don't know what to do with them...

helping to push towards V8 thread.... pic spam

this is the cuusoo project on the verge to get 10,000 supporters. nice to complement the modulars that u have

With the success of Shell Lego cars, maybe this can entice McD to promote BigMac Meal and pay another RM12 to get the McD shop set,
StarBucks to sell large moche latte and add another RM12 to get the Starbuck lego set

7-11 to promote buy one dozen of Durex "rubber" and the 7-11 set is yours!

4 more to go....

ilfort lkor, get ready soon
