el aba9785 Senior Member 743 posts Joined: Jun 2005 From: Penang	let me compile some Q&A for my mini CS.... FAQ: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « - Why only 10228 Haunted House? Cos kena poisoned from other ppl - Why so sudden? Just only managed to struck a deal with the seller for a bulk price yesterday. - Why 3 slot available? Already got 4 ppl ordering (including me). Seller mention if I topup on the shipping, he can fit 6-7 box of HH, thus creating this mini CS and open to others. - Why offer end so fast? Cos we are all anxious to get our stuff, we know this is a good price and dont want to wait any longer (scare seller change his mind too) - Why deposit rm200? I dont mind if u deposit rm100 or less, as long as you are commited to buy and I dont have to keep stock. I'm doing this as mini community service, I'm not a seller. - Why COD at Penang? I'm from Penang. But we can COD at other place, eg: KL. please PM me and we can talk there. - Is the price fixed? Sort of, my estimate is between rm725 -rm750. But to be safe, I put rm750. Lot's of variable involved, eg: how much my credit card charging me for the conversion rate n so on. Will update on the final price once i get my credit card billing, custom tax and misc. - Why so long to reach Penang? Seller using Fedex and should reach within 4-6 days, but the date only valid after the seller ship the item to me, so I add few days extra just to be safe.

Way cheaper than USPS express and save us trouble to go collect from custom. oh... me can only opt for the cheapest shipping rate to further bring down the price.... another seller quote me rm880 for HH, that's what make me determine to self import and make my life complicated just in order to save some money for 2nd wave

But price after include shipping was not bad d, got sales over there ka? roughly USD10 cheaper for buying bulk, not much la the real saving is at the shipping area, cos current order already over 10kg. anyway...no offence to other seller here.... just treat me as a cheapskate ppl will do...

el aba9785 Senior Member 743 posts Joined: Jun 2005 From: Penang	QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Apr 12 2013, 02:58 PM) Bought for <RM500. Repeat: used set. Not yet ship it back, will take a long time before I can touch it. If you want pneumatic parts only, suggest to just get it from Bricklink sellers. Way cheaper than paying premium price. But this 8455 comes with the most pneumatics so far ... 10x cylinder (47224c01) , 2x pump (2797c02) , lengths of tubes ... Ughhh... I just check Bricklink, the average price starts from RM20+ for new/used pneumatic-cylinder and ~RM10+ per pump). 10x means RM200+ already not yet count shipping. Actually, sometimes it's better to buy a complete set box and salvage parts from there. Much cheaper per part cost, and less hassle on ordering/delivery. np This set still in SG, pending shipping back to KL. In the meantime, I'm doing testing/mod on 8110 and 9398. Saw some killer 8043 mods on Internet, wait for it thanks for sharing... i think used complete set would be better here... QUOTE(yuying1 @ Apr 12 2013, 03:04 PM) Yeah, if only I'm in germany! used set cost less than 75 euro on ebay Germany. Guess I'll have to go bricklink then hmm... later i check more n see what i get

el aba9785 Senior Member 743 posts Joined: Jun 2005 From: Penang	QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Apr 12 2013, 05:06 PM) Thanks bro! Hope the prices will be attractive to everyone otherwise I have to look for new supplier! lol! Up for grabs are: 10197 Fire Brigade 10224 Town Hall 79003 An Unexpected Gathering 9398 4x4 Crawler 10233 Horizon Express The above I have managed to block some allocation and have been guaranteed the quantities I requested since I'm expecting these to be very high in demand. Below are also items that were on the promotions list but I didn't request them to reserve for me since I'm not into those themes/sets and unsure of demand. The deadline was actually 11th April but I requested for them to hold the price for me till this weekend but it is while stocks lasts... So if anyone wants something from the list below I cannot guarantee availability, I can only put in a request and wait for confirmation. 70505 Temple of Light 5891 Apple Tree House 9472 Attack on Weathertop Going to create the sales thread now... Stay tuned! many nice set not sure what to do now either rob a bank or something QUOTE(maxilife1 @ Apr 12 2013, 05:18 PM) Finally your sales thread establish! Best of luck! Btw, when will the item arrived? 1 thing i hate (in a good way ) of this forum or BOM, is that LEGO stuffs at a very good price, comes when im out of bullets! Hahahha yup....good things come when i'm out of bullets too QUOTE(Caryane @ Apr 12 2013, 05:25 PM) Aiyo... dont lah poison me like that... I'm confirmed on Family House & Tree House. MAYBE i will check out Hillside house from my supplier tonight =X Fingers crossed. ok ok... waiting for the good news
