bulk the t-shirts first..LOL..hahaha

few week back i saw TRU got sell at 49.9...now dunno got stock or not...

went yesterday...dont have

actually u cannot blame ALJ since i think their price needs to be standard for whole lot of malaysia, including some remote parts of msia. if only sell in KL, then different story. thats what i think la. distributor has to think of logistics, currency, warehouses to stockpile, custom, bla bla bla.

Finally! My copy version of the tumbler from set 7888 has completed!

Took 2 hours to build due to very hard to see instructions (coz many parts in black)

Parts:
97% from BL - 3 different US stores using 1st class USPS mail..first time using BL, and its a very good experience for me!
2% from Alanyuppie - cannon & 1x10 brick
1% from Zen store - 3713 technic bush

Price:
RM233 only compare 7888 new set in amazon in $799.99 !

The good:
Its big!
New experience using LEGO & BL
LEGO parts by code management

The bad:
Copy not exactly as the original set due to lack of color/rare parts. have to change color of the parts
Grey brick do not equally same color as light/dark bluish grey hahaha
long hours to define the parts and search in BL > 2 weeks

Sorry for the low version pics..using camera phone only

and many thanks to kaneishiro for the posion, the guide and the sharing!

Parts:

Back - peter parker taking photos for daily bugle..and i think i need to put bigger flames right? hahaha


Inside - see the blue brick? its from alan heheh

Oh Crap!!! I just saw this post!

that's so quick, you already got the palace. Do you still have extras?

plan to get in the death star... which site is cheaper & secure ? amazon or BL ?

i'm interested. what's the price like?

Yup still got extra

how much you selling for?

great tumbler!

seems like a good idea...
will support it later (mean will buy when it's available)

hmm..if wanna make into a real minifig...possible ar?


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?

Arghh... Wish can join the tt sectiob

thanks!

thanks..yup looking forward to the TT session..but not a star la..cannot beat alan MOC ..heheh

kaneishiro is the sifu..im only the students oh ya bane tumbler..better comparison between 2 tumblers..hehe

yes few parts are very hard to find in 1 store..u have to organize/distribute the parts between 2 or 3 stores to save on shipping cost..

mine 75% of all the parts are used parts..and the parts are in well condition. only some dust here n there..since the tumbler is covered in black parts, so its quite ok to use used parts..cannot really seen the difference between new & used

which version of tumbler? there are many versions in the internet..some small one also..

Good luck! and dont give up!

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 :-

Actually i ask cos i lazy to go through the customs process. i prefer to use yes man like dhl/fedex/tnt to clear for me. but these euro sellers when they send they ship by economy package, which means most likely will be transfered to local pos laju/malaysia, which will also mean a trip to customs...


who is selling used modular?

not into SW theme but i do love the death star.. but RM2k is out of reach

im interested but depends on the condition & price also

pergh! is that ur next project? 5000+++ parts..it will take forever! hahah
