i google dy b4 put as batboat~
most web also state thats a batboat~  laugh.gif
although it doesnt look like a boat haha~  sweat.gif

Cause in the old batcave set there is a ski in it, so I thought this was a ski too. Maybe Batski sounded lame.

And yes... The A-wing starfighter below is priced differently in different malls:

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=75003-1

Isetan: rm129.90
TRU: rm149.90

weird huh....

Maybe there is more demand on stock, they can insert more stock, like LLM demand so many set. The shipment is use in the optimum capacity so they can bring down the price.

TRU is either they mark it wrong or they want to be the one that speculate the price in the market again, taking for example, during the Bionicle release (back in year 2002?), they are always the first one to mark up the price and then followed by other retailers. Like Tahu Nuva, they mark up to 40 per can while others still at 35.90 or 36.90 per can.

Just back from some "scouting" and noticed pricing discrepancy amongst Technics (which is a good news).  Previously it happened to one creator set (worth us$25 .. end up as rm100). Now it happened again to set 42004 mini backhoe. Not bad for a rm100 set =)

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=42004-1

note: in the past.... whatever (non licensed) retailed us$20 will usually end up between rm100-rm110 here. And those with us$25 translate to more than rm120++.

Ok now we move on to the 3 technics that retailed at us$20

hovercraft: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=42002-1
off road racer: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=42010-1
racecar: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=42011-1

suposedly all 3 should become rm100 here? nope.......... Hovercraft is less than rm80.

Is ALJ listened to our grouses... and deliberately make one /few set from each theme to be "cheaper" ?

And yes... The A-wing starfighter below is priced differently in different malls:

Isetan: rm129.90
TRU: rm149.90

Now you know custom tax is a killing. If they can waived that, I can said we adjust the price better. Lol.

ur pricing already good enough... thumbup.gif
some is even cheaper (even before i kena tax)

i didnt thought you n others would be bringing in the set that i want (so hand itchy and bought from BL, haha...)
next time i should just wait for you biggrin.gif


oh ya, wanna ask (to all lego thread reader) something about modular here.
u think it's better to just buy the modular set (rm700-rm900 for 2000+ bricks parts, everything in order, instructions n so on). build once, massive satisfaction

or MOC (involves buying many bricks parts from different seller, the cost might be rm900-rm1.3k for the parts u need, then more headache/sorting/changing/order more parts), keep on revolving the set
(eg: taking a cue from tiny tower game, where u just keep on building taller n taller)

i think another reason of price reduction for retail price here was the last quarter ALJ made a killing. stocks are moving off the shelves, thanks for the nationwide shell promo boost.

so if we buy more, they will order more. maybe now local distributor will see the rise in sales, and focus in bringing more lines/series

If you are planning to go for modular, new one just get the whole set I would said since the price is still right. Unless like green grocer etc, that one you need source by pieces since the price are sky high now.

I might bring in modular house though. Around retail price too I believe. Price are not that good.

Modular once a year, one set.

Castle, so many set, need army building to look nice. But if no expand and no exclusive set like the 1xxxx set then can collect lor, otherwise you print money also cannot dry.
