Thanks for the offer bro. Will inform you if I need your help

Wow that's a really cute tower bridge. Got instructions for noobs like me?

And the tycoon has spoken. Nice sets bro!!

Hi guys,

I've been lurking around for quite a while. What can I say. I've been poisoned looking at pictures of the collections you guys have. I was a minifigures fans, but now, after hours of reading this thread, I'm a modular fan too.

Lego played a small part during my childhood but I can't remember much. So it all started when I went to a Lego shop in Frankfurt. Then, I didn't know that such store existed. I bought few key chains and minifigures set.

Last year, I was stuck in Houston for two months for training. The place I was staying is far away for attarctions that interest me. So I went to a nearby Lego store at least once in a week. There, I bought few Superheroes sets, mainly because of the minifigures. I always bring minifigures with me whenever I go. In my bag now, I have a Sandtrooper, a Batman, an Ironman, and a Bilbo Baggins.

Now, I'm back in the US for a month. I just went to a Lego store in NYC, and man, I am hooked with modular sets. But I shall resist, as I'm planning to buy few Superheroes and Star Wars sets. Perhaps, I want to collect all available Batman versions.

It's such a lengthy introduction, isn't? I don't intend to offend any sellers/members here. I am aware that few members here do CS once in a while. I intend to bring few sets back with me, if anyone is interested. I'll be back in Malaysia at the end of April. Again, I apologise if I offend anyone here. If so, I'll scrap this plan and keep following (lurking, posting, pictures) this thread.

I'll post pictures when I decide what sets to buy.

Welcome bro and pre-welcome to join to the dark (modular) side

Of course no one is gonna be offended provided you start posting pictures of your collection And by all means, please do post up your list if you plan to do a CS haha. I'm sure it will be reserved very fast!!

By the way Caryane, does this interest you besides #31012?

Took some photos this morning to give you a better picture...



Front and rear locomotive for set 7938 Passenger Train. The one on the right is with Power Function (PF) components built in. Also note that the windows on the PF train is black to hide the battery box inside. The regular train's window is transparent black.



Close-up view of the IR Receiver. On the right is the round dome top of the IR Receiver. The one on the left is just a normal modified brick with curved top and two studs on top.



Top view. Side-by-side comparison between PF and non-PF locomotive. In this photo the IR Receiver is more visible.

Great moc! Really got the feel... Cant wait for your next moc! Thanks for sharing!

Do you guys think the tower bridge is a good investment? looks huge to me.
seems like nobody know whether LLM got 10193 stock or not. Any bro here got 10193 to let go? of coz price must be good la.

2nd wave of the creator sets are so tempting! Poison poison!

Welcome, and I can't wait for those pics

Thanks for the effort to explain to me, and now I think I understand better

Train set does look interesting, maybe I should go around and check for price

I highly doubt LLM will have stock of 10193. When news got round that it is going to be discontinued people started "sapu-ing" all the stocks! I missed out on that rush... haha! And prices shot up immediately after that. So even if LLM have it it would be snapped up immediately. I doubt you will find it sitting on the shelf waiting for a buyer...

I personally think Tower Bridge is a good set to keep. Even if the set depreciates in value (which most probably will not happen) it is still a special one-of-a-kind set to me. I bet it will also be an eye-catcher when displayed.

Yupe, the new creator releases are super poisoning. I really hope August comes fast so that I can get my hand on them

You're welcomed! Actually there were a few more photos but I ran into some problems so this is part two... hee hee



This is the Power Function (PF) Train Motor.



If you want to remove all PF components then you will have to replace the PF Train Motor with a regular bogey like the one in the photo. I removed that from the other non-PF locomotive.





Some photos of the locomotive from 7939 Cargo Train to give you a better idea... Hope this helps!

Yes bro! i'm definitely very very interested in the Tree-house.

It will compliment the family house well.

Hi.. You are welcome to join us! Really envy for those can travel to US... Because US really a poisonland for all lego collector...

The poison running strong in my veins... hahaha! I started with the 7938 Passenger Train, then 7939 Cargo Train... 3677 Red Cargo Train and 10219 Maersk Train still in unopen box, waiting for free time to build again...

I think 3677 will be the next set to be discontinued so better start planning!

You know what? I dream of going to the US... Spend one month there to just shop and shop until bank account kosong, fill up one 40-feet sea container and ship everything home! Then come home and live inside the container! muahahaha!
