I see ALJ pricing is back again  doh.gif  Got a feeling these sets will be peg warmers like the the hospital 4429 sets in all the TRU  doh.gif
*
For some weird reason ALJ price based on the box price plus some other factors. That is why you will see sets like Creator with big boxes costing much more although they are the same price as their small counterpart. Then of course the huge markup on Star Wars, Superheroes and LOTR. The police station is a classic example of an overpriced set and there is simply no reason for it to be priced this way. Other sets is Destiny's Bounty, Batcave, Unexpected gathering, Dino HQ.

The hospital has its charm, but I too cannot accept the fact it cost so much for a simple building plus some minifigs, one of which does not have a proper printing (the doctor, torso and leg different color of white jacket).

Some of the sets in TRU lagi teruk, has been warming the shelfs since 2011 or earlier if I am not mistaken. The Toy Story, Prince of Persia stuff simply cannot sell at such an overpriced price. So high that even during TRU sale also nobody buys them!

My eyes almost popped out of the sockets when I saw the price of the Police Station - RM 559.90. The price in HK is only HKD 989.90 (Based on XE converter - 989.00 HKD = 393.901 MYR)

LEGO City # 7498 - Police Station in Hong Kong

And yes, I've seen alot of damaged Toy Story and Prince Of Persia stuff at TRU Mid Valley.

Yes. LEGO can get for 10% discount.

Was at Mid Valley today and was looking out for the Police Sets. Namely the 3 sets below:

# 60007 - High Speed Chase
# 60008 - Museum Break-In
# 60009 - Helicopter Arrest

TRU has # 60009 - but no 60007 & 60008
AEON has # 60007 & 60008 but no # 60009

Very strange findings. Either the distribution is all messed up or the missing sets were all sold out?

Hand itchy so ended up with tiny haul today.

I guess I found the answer. Set # 60009 is a Toys R Us Exclusive. Check out the website for TRU HK

Toys R Us Hong Kong - LEGO City # 60009 - Helicopter Arrest

Made a quick stop at Toys R Us Ikano Power Center and again, there is only LEGO # 60009 - Helicopter Arrest. Very strange.
Plenty of Hospital sets but I saw one of LEGO City - # 7498 but box has slight damage all around. But look at the price!

i love my 4429 set! i went and doubled the building, added a bigger ward and hired like 7 more staff to join in.
part of the expensive is due to the helicopter and little ambulance. but its really nicer than the previous one which was set on a hill

Yup, that's the one in my spoiler. Looks like an awesome set. Nice one!

Where did you get it from and how much was it?

I also realized from the Hong Kong Toys R Us page that the 2013 Police sets are called "Elite Police". I guess the "SWAT" bullet-proof vests are what makes them "Elite" compared to the regular black uniformed policemen and women.

You're right. Didn't notice the Set Number. But the contents looks the same though.

Still, 4-in-1 for that price is a good deal!

That's what Lego call a Super Pack. They bundled the smaller sets of the same theme to it. I bought my 7905 Building Crane as part of a Super Pack like that too. Also seen few combination of Super Packs for 7939 Cargo Train. smile.gif

Yeah, I think it is a good deal for a Super Pack. Just 7498 alone will be to too expensive.
