It's an impressive display. Nicely detailed. I managed to convince my sis to buy one for her house! wink.gif
I'd go for the Death Star for the wow factor! It is fun to play with also. The UCS B-Wing will also make a very nice display too! wink.gif

death star ! i saw one in tropicana city mall. awesome biggrin.gif

super star destroyer...to me, so so only lo. and review on the build experience is kinda bad.

UCS B-wing, looks nice but its only for display. the wing easily fall off.

Hee Hee. That's what I did. One for myself to display and the other for investment. *wink wink* icon_idea.gif

Just watch out for the import tax component in the checkout page. If memory serves me right the import tax component doesn't kick in if you buy two sets, the third set you get whacked big time with import tax.

I have pm some of you before about the beauty of buying from Amazon, so I'll just share it publicly this time. Hope I'm not sharing old news!

If the import tax section at the checkout shows nothing (meaning Amazon don't collect import tax in advance for Malaysian Custom) then you will not kena tax at all and the parcel will arrive safely at your doorstep with no interception by Malaysian Custom. This is Amazon's new policy to improve customer service and delivery speed.

If the import tax section at the checkout shows some figure that you have to pay then what it means is that Amazon will take your money in advance if they think the parcel will very likely to be required to pay import tax for whatever reasons, and in the event the parcel is delivered to you without having to pay tax Amazon will refund the money.

The juicy bit is when you can order in such a way that the combination of sets that you are ordering does not trigger the import tax section at the checkout, then your shipment is almost guaranteed not having to pay import tax when it reaches you! You will have to play around with the stuff you are ordering, change order quantity, order different sets... etc. For example, I ordered two Tower Bridge import tax is zero. I ordered two sets of 9492 Tie Fighter Amazon compute some nice numbers for import tax at the checkout.

Hope that wasn't too confusing! haha!

this is only applicable to amazon france? and not all items are available for the global shipping programme right?

So far I see it in Amazon US, France and Germany. I don't usually buy from Amazon these days as I have better source.

I only buy from Amazon if they have massive discount and I only need that one set urgently otherwise it is always cheaper not to buy from Amazon. Amazon will almost always only do Priority Shipping for Lego and that really bump up the cost, sometimes shipping is as much or more than the cost of the set!

Yes, you're right. Not all items are available for global shipping... So far I find Amazon France to be the cheapest mostly due to cheaper shipping rates compared to other Amazon sites.

Hope this helps! icon_rolleyes.gif

Time to put a closure to this one! I started this MOC early March but stopped for 2 weeks just to play around with Creator Red rotors + Kai Fire Mech (aka Rotormech) .

Initially I attempted to make a triple changer but  something hit me on my head on a new idea.. so I faster finish off with this one first hehe.
Do visit my blog/mocpages link for more photos and how he transform. smile.gif
