Thread move so fast today... and today is a MONDAY!! 

Alot of people was talking about modular buildings, my advice is that if you are not willing to be poisoned and later spend kau kau to build up your "town", then better don't start modular buildings. Building a modular building is very different compared to say a city set or friends set. A city set might have 800 to 900 pieces but a modular can have 2000+ pieces. Then the interior is fully bricked up and each floor is detailed. Once you build something as big as a modular you will never want to buy any of those small sets anymore.

My modular journey started with this 2.


Then got the Pet Shop and Fire Brigade


Then the Town hall with a little MOC joined the group


Till I finally ended up with a corner lot when I decided to MOC my Olivia's house and Heartlake vet with parts I bought from LLM. Yes, I need a bigger table to take all of them again when the palace cinema comes along 


I am not planning to buy or bricklink the cafe corner and market street because it is too expensive to do so. Besides there are many more modulars to buy in the future. Not to mentioned haunted house, ackham asylum I have yet to buy.

I was at TRU 1U today to check out the Lego selection there. While there is new stock like Hobbit and Superheroes I have some comments:-
1) TRU cut a hole near the bar code to insert an anti-theft tag
2) Some boxes got no ALJ sticker... I think still from ALJ but since rushing to restock maybe no time to add sticker.
3) TRU's Lego shelf is only 50% occupied. The other side got non-Lego stuff and even the Classic AT-AT from Hasbro 
4) Got Series 9, but kena picit-picit-picit until no more hot stuff.

Hello,

I'm a long time collector of Lego. Just last year I happened to inherit my cousins' entire Lego city. The buildings were bought in 1984-1993 and it's pretty complete with the police stations, fire brigades and the such. There is even a car workshop and the original Octan petrol station (1992).

I'm only waiting for the Ninja Turtles set to be sold in here. Love that combination.

where do you buy those lighting, equipment etc for this?

led strip can be bought in those lighting shop. and cable i use those old phone cable or lan cable. (cut off the head, and you will found inside got alot color cables like green, yellow, red, black, so should be enough)

get those solder equipment at hardware shop lo.

and off course you need a little bit of electricity knowledge to keep yourself in one piece. 

which daiso?



thanks again

but wont the wires be too messy?

Guys, new in this Lego thing, addicted cause of shell goodies

aiyah thought your AA is community pricing...

talking about community service, a friend of mine offered to get the haunted house for me <750. Is this a good price? 

Must resist ilfort's Arkham!! Must RESIST!! MUST RESIST!!!

i definitely can resist....coz i can't afford that

but i still can get modular building once in a long while

Hello,
My haul for 2012 + bought a bookshelf to put this

Why sad...
If anyone from penang, i think thats a nice price considering the item is already there...
As a job of a seller, you need to find multiple supplier...
And being a seller, its not as easy as people thought...
again, in order to reduce the price of shipment, buy in bulk..(ask people to preorder or take a risk in order the sets. If no people buying, im sure in 1 year, there are people looking for it.)

It has been almost 1 week at this status.
Oh I see.
Oh I see. Then I think it should fit my situation. Btw, I am not that rush as well. Just wish to know the whole process of the shipping.

Ahhh. Cannot wait for the movie to hit the theaters.

Wah. if more armor versions then iron man fans like me will slowly go broke. 

Can, you use that to check with your custom to see it arrives or not.

If small lego set like battlepack, I will eager to assemble fast. I havent bought a modular set but if I do...well..I would assemble few pieces a day like planning a chess move daily.

And do anyone know where to buy plain LEGO base plates? I need it for my minifigs. Went TRU Empire just now and they only have the road junction plates.

Just finish building my unexpected gathering. The set is awesome

Argh! I still don't own any The Hobbit set.

haha... also bring along all your unopened Lego set too. Lego roadshow @ McD/Oldtown.... sure attract lots of ppl to stop by... and poison them kaw kaw  
just thought of something, how about we do our very own LYN Lego Enthusiasts Club polo shirt? Wouldn't that be so cool? We can brainstorm what design would be and send it to vendor to produce it.. 

great tumbler! 

thanks for sharing...
i would say an amazing experience...u can bring it when u all got the TT session...
sure going to be the star of the TT

Kaneishiro and now you are the hero...you are the man. The picture did no justice as how big it is. Try place it to the Bane Tumbler release recently then we will 

I'm on my first project to build this tumbler by buying parts from BL after got poison. There are few part that is particularly hard to find. BTW how many of the brick you purchase is a used one? Will there be any different between used and new parts?

amazon got discount, but be ready to pay a lot for the shipping. that 1 set alone is more than 10kg. retail in msia is near RM 2k.

Boring Friday, but happy weekend. Say, anyone going to buy a used a modular house?

me no hero    basically i started by reading the past forums learn from people who shared their experience here and pass it along

i buy both used and new, if you were to ask me, i see no difference 
congrats on finally getting it done. there are no words to describe the satisfaction when putting the last piece 

come let me tempt you with this :-
