Haha! No! I'm hinting you should go buy two sets! One to play and the other to keep! wink.gif

When this set is discontinued, you can sell it for double the original cost and in a way get the first set for free!

Oh and btw, I think rumour is Tower Bridge should be very near end of its product cycle so you guys should really think about owning this set. *Hint Hint* again!

I like Tower Bridge, but not enough to get it immediately, have other priorities tongue.gif

Yea I'm looking for the set but cannot find one at a reasonable price sad.gif Somehow I buy because I like them and don't have any intention yet to sell them. Maybe I should convert one room to a toy/Lego room like this laugh.gif

But some do share that taking standard shipping option (cheaper and not expresss) will most likely reach you in bad condition.

I personally didn't try this before, so try it at your own risk tongue.gif

*
In all sincerity I will advise against standard shipping... I had a few bad experiences and I will not use it for expensive sets. Cheap sets I will consider standard shipping...

My first big Lego order was three sets of 10185 Green Grocer. They were perfect MISB investment quality condition. It was to be my first Modular Building, my first big step in my Lego comeback...

I was very new and inexperienced back then and opted for standard shipping... When the Pos Laju delivery van was outside my door I was filled with excitement. I watched the delivery guy went to the back of the van to take out my parcel and I nearly had a heart attack!!

What greeted me was not a big shiny box of Lego. It was trash... The shipping box was on the verge of falling into pieces, the sealing tape has come off so much so there is a big hole that I can even put my head through it. The shipping box was also badly crushed. I was so worried that something may have fallen out during transit. Fortunately upon inspection all three sets of Green Grocer was still inside but they were no longer perfect box. All three sets badly crushed, my investment dream also crushed.sad.gif

So that's why I will avoid using standard shipping. To me it is very risky. My point of view is the longer the parcel is in transit the more likely it is to go missing or damaged. So now I only use Priority or Express. Shorter transit time means less handling equals less damage.

Hope I don't frighten everyone into spending on expensive shipping! Just sharing my experience. I'll still take some risk with standard shipping but only with very cheap parts or sets that I don't mind losing or damaged.

Peace! smile.gif

Finally, the new Police sets are here. Maybe it's time to redeem my 1U card points at TRU  hmm.gif

Is this the only Police set? No Museum Break In or High Speed Chase yet?

Always have a soft spot for cops. Love cop shows and movies. My first huge LEGO set was a Police Station. Too bad I don't have it anymore sad.gif

Btw, dunno if you guys will consider this community service or not... Found Black Pearl, Queen Anne's Revenge and 8043 Motorised Exacavator with my supplier:

1. 4184 Black Pearl (Qty: 2) RM750-800
2. 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge (Qty: 3) RM850-900
3. 8043 Motorised Excavator (Qty: 2-4) RM1000-1050

The above is based on my estimate inclusive of shipping and import tax. I already tried nego but that's the final price since it is discontinued set. I'm so glad I bought a few sets of the excavator is December! Price will be finalised when cleared customs and whatever savings passed back to buyer.

Cheers!

Ps. Mod pls remove this post if considered to be a sales post. Just reporting what I found. icon_rolleyes.gif

8043 cost that much because it is an old and discontinued set. When I bought my 8043 last time it was well below 1k since it just came out and still in production. I do not think the MKII will cost more than 1k too since even the Unimog and crawler is still below the 1k mark when it was first released.

Same like Green Grocer, Cafe Corner where it is so @#$%$#@$# expensive due to it being out of production already.
