I think I know what the issue is: try scroll to the bottom of the page and see if there is a button for "Desktop" version. I believe shortcuts for tags are disabled when using mobile.

Not using iPhone anymore but my Note 2 switches to mobile automatically.

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

This sucks. Exceeded quota for mobile internet and modem not working.

Anyway, today's sightings at AEON 1U but only 1 of everything.

Galaxy Squad sets - I think this is all or most of them. Not really familiar with this theme.

Bro, Where is this? Didn't see High Speed Chase # 60007. Any idea how much is the RRP?

Think all kena sapu already. Could've used my 1U card points at TRU and get it cheap cheap. Have about RM 50 - 60.

QUOTE(zoomckng @ Mar 29 2013, 01:19 AM)
How much is the fire boat set 60005.  is it 129.90?  Plan to get this one.

Sorry bro, thought I took pics but didn't and can't remember the price.

Don't know how I could survive on Screamyx for so long.

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. And I'm a Batman collector too.

Initially during my come back to LEGO, she doesn't really like to idea as LEGO isn't cheap and its considered as TOYS.

So i thought why not i import more LEGO along with the sets i want then sell them to help fund my LEGO. Well she ok with the idea.

Then one fine day when i bought Superheroes Loki's cosmic cube escape from Uncle Kenny.

My wife wanted to build it and she likes LEGO after completing it tongue.gif

Then i bought her spring time scene as a gift and she built that too.

Is this the one with the injured Luke (think there's a printing on the box that states Han, Leia and Luke are new designs or something - think Luke's new hair is better than the older ones. Looks more modern-ish)? I saw this at Toys R Us 1U

EDIT: Oops, the set I saw at TRU 1U was Set # 7879: Hoth Echo Base, not Battle Of Hoth. Can't remember the price though

May be heading down to Mid Valley later. Will check out what's new there.

QUOTE(happy toy @ Mar 29 2013, 06:29 PM)
Nice find. I respect their dedication to their hobby (Business too I'm sure. Probably mixed business with pleasure brows.gif )

But what bothers me about those photos is that if those shelves etc. is out in the open (i.e. the hall etc), it doesn't look like a home anymore. It's just so cluttered. It's good that they put the boxes in cupboards etc. but who knows, they maybe staying in a small apartment or something.

Makes me wonder - what happens the day I have no more space for cupboards. Will this happen to me too? Will I become one of these types of collectors?

Still can resist a lot of temptation so that will be a long way off .......

Sorry - no offence to anyone here if your homes are like this and it's just a personal opinion. What's your strategy to overcome this issue? biggrin.gif

I read somewhere that HK superstar Louis Koo is a collector of 1:1 scale items and he stores them in a warehouse. Saw some scans from some book or magazine. How nice it is to be rich and have a warehouse to store your toys and LEGO wub.gif
