insert box inside box inside box inside...until full to the brim. Hvnt need to flatten them yet 

otherwise, the ultimate goal is having an I-so-want-this-attic built then can have dedicated lego room   

I apply the russian doll technique.. biggest box store smaller ones.

Lying low these few days after publishing my MOC. But I just gotta build something. below is my latest work made from Creator Thunder Wings. Enjoy! Will post the instructions soon in my blog next week or so.. in case any of u guys interested =)

Was checking why my blog traffic surged suddenly. Just found out I was mentioned in this wired.com's article =)

LYN moderator or ... ?

while standby-ing on my project deployment night, I took the opportunity to unbox my ninjago 70500 mech and did some mod to it. My version's mech has a head, a shoulder mounted turret gun, a gundam-like shield, and anti-air missile launcher on the shoulder.

the mech's head can be moved down and become a cockpit for Kai, for him to manually control the mech

Received my last parts for the tumbler from the 3rd store on last friday

1x 57029c01 Cannon
1x 57028c01 liftarm misile

The seller was nice enough to filter between used and new parts..and also some free gifts parts..the downside is his parts is not the cheapest compare to other store

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:

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

Isetan: rm129.90
TRU: rm149.90

weird huh....

Lol, pity us reseller, soon need close shop.

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

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.
We have Singaporean helping too maybe? All go for CMF in LLM. Lol

means the cable is visible and obvious?

anothing problem is how to fix it into the model

Yup..76006,76007,76008...
If i order more today, i could get it here by Monday/Tuesday...see how fast the customs clear la...

Can...im trying to gather more intel...
But I prefer if you guys at Klang Valley area so that we can decide where to meet so that i can reduce the cost on my side...
If 5 people different area, harder for me la...

My new haul from Hong Kong, i got these two 2013 SW sets for a super cheap price!

Rancor Pit + Jabba's Palace:



Umbaran HMC:

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.

i have this. interestde?     
yeap. but modular is really cool. i think satisfaction level depends. i'll b satisfied if i can build a city MOC using non-modular pieces. and i feel it's more flexible as well. modular will b complex, looks awesome but don think it'll be that flexible unless i'm an EXPERT level moc guy.

still....i hope i can get 1 or 2 modular to try

http://www.brickbuilderspro.com/shop-instructions/

wonder if anyone have attempted Malaysian architecture modular designs?

found this LED strip in Daiso..can be use to light up the modular?

[attachmentid=3331890]

Ya, off course can. but you have to find way to manage the cable though.

me currently using this led strip (attached image).

Can be cut into smaller pieces ( minimum is like 3 led).

So i can control the length of it. and then i will just join the led from floor to floor by the thin cable attached in the mail.
(cut those usb cable, and you can found many cable inside, just simply pick 2 color that you like and join lo)

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

Ok..some community update :

set 76006 - i dont think i can secure enough sets... so...
set 76007 - i think enough for those who pm me yesterday
set 76008 -  i think enough also for those pm me yesterday

again, i give priority to those cod nearby me..

anyhoo...

i already received some order for Arkham set , Superman & LOTR.
Guys, we still haven't done our 1st trial community thingy...
After that, we see how it goes...usually i don't mind ordering if there's something i like. Im just worry the logistic and people F me by buying at other place (assuming its cheaper la... ).

Remind me if i miss anyone pm...im a busy bee at the office today...

There is ackham asylum too? :sweat

This month really durian runtuh for Lego. My 2 large sets are already here. Then got someone offer me haunted house since he is bringing in, but had to decline due to the earlier 2 orders. Now got that batman set, with more sets in tru and aeon which I had to resist again.

So many sets, all come at the same time suddenly.

finally my items arrived. few small boxes dented...and one CREATOR set dented till got a hole =_="
otherwise all seems ok



so maybe will keep the dented CREATOR...as a moc or something. hmm

Sorry to cut in the "Haul talk", just wanna ask, is the new brickmaster available in Malaysia?

Also, wanna ask whether has anyone here receiving their BB1M book voucher, used it on Brickmaster? Can buy? XD

im a lego reseller. i only keep if nobody wans the set or the box is very very badly dented.
been wanting Unexpected Gathering...but keep sold out. =_= so i hv to wait

Here is some of the interior shots of the MOC. It is a MOC of Olivia's house and the Heartlake vet. FYI I build it using extra tiles and bricks I bought from LLM plus extra doors and windows from my stash to complete it.

[attachmentid=3332868][attachmentid=3332870][attachmentid=3332872]

I'll get then! XD Hopefully there's atlantis brickmaster too..
