QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Mar 28 2013, 09:13 AM) and define "collect" as well too Well, after I moved then I will build it and display in the living room, revive the moment when I used to own a lot of lego set since I'm small (1993)...collect as in buy and hold/admire the box in hope to goreng price in near future for a small profit? or collect as in open the box ,build and be part of the centerpiece to be admired by house guests? |

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Mar 28 2013, 09:21 AM) then its worth collecting =) But I'm enjoy the moment to assemble last time compared to now as last time its like a big bag of bricks and you go dig around in it and find the parts.. now is more like guided using numbered packaging.... I know numbered packaging is somewhat user-friendly, but it takes away my fun I personally will do anything to relive my childhood (if wallet allows and ears still intact to take further abuse/pinching) ,coz thats the happiest worry-free moments ever. I believe that what makes most of us here |

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Mar 28 2013, 09:33 AM) Last time the parts are generic and very easy to spot . Now there are too many specialised parts and the size are getting smaller and smaller. Even though the parts:price ratio doesn't change much compared to 20 years ago, LEGO company actually cram alot of tiny 1x1 round parts into their sets making it felt like "wow .. so many part for rm100! worth the price." . Last time to assemble a vehicle, it gives a lot of enjoyment because you build using tiny tiny pieces up to the whole thing is done. For example, Lego 6594 Octan truck, it seriously enjoy! because you build the chassis, the axle and stuff... later on after a few years, I bought a set where it just gives me the whole bottom chassis that is manufactured into one single block, and I was like "What the.... how come so simple one?" When I opened new set to play around... I ALWAYS mix all the parts together despite instructions warning us not to do so. I love finding parts during assembly coz it prolong my enjoyment . And it enhances our hand-eye coordination skill too. QUOTE(manutd1003 @ Mar 28 2013, 09:34 AM) Yup... I miss the moment u found a brick when u thought it is lost... And u was so happy when u figured out it is hiding in the bricks! Its seriously in the most exciting mood when you found it.. and when you accidentally lost it, then you will seriously have big headache trying to scan through the floor, under the carpet, behind the door wondering where was the freaking piece...P/s: i dont like to arrange the bricks according to colors or size.. How many of u actually do this? |

QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Mar 28 2013, 10:40 AM) Yeah. I preferred the 'old days' where everything is just dumped in one bag. More fun to be searching through the pile of bricks for the one elusive piece... The numbered bags is cut almost half the fun I used to have.... The new numbered bags and instructions are so easy even my 4yrs old daughter can build Modular Buildings! Lol! QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Mar 28 2013, 10:53 AM) Btw, dunno if you guys will consider this community service or not... Found Black Pearl, Queen Anne's Revenge and 8043 Motorised Exacavator with my supplier: 1. 4184 Black Pearl (Qty: 2) RM750-800 2. 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge (Qty: 3) RM850-900 3. 8043 Motorised Excavator (Qty: 2-4) RM1000-1050 The above is based on my estimate inclusive of shipping and import tax. I already tried nego but that's the final price since it is discontinued set. I'm so glad I bought a few sets of the excavator is December! Price will be finalised when cleared customs and whatever savings passed back to buyer. Cheers! Ps. Mod pls remove this post if considered to be a sales post. Just reporting what I found. |

QUOTE(mryellow19 @ Mar 28 2013, 10:09 PM) The set featured in the video is Horizon Express. I'm not sure about those older locomotive sets though. Also I don't think Creator have locomotives. Correct me if I'm wrong. Perhaps you can search around in Brickset. Searched through just now.. Horizon Express appear to be the only one so far... |

QUOTE(sherwin @ Mar 28 2013, 11:06 PM) Not all train sets includes the motors and power functions 10194 Emerald Night does seems very nice in my opinion... It reminds me of the train I took when I was in Europe These sets come standalone without any motors: 79111 Lone Ranger Constitution Train Chase - does include simple track loop 10233 Horizon Express (in UK there is now a bundled kit with the motor & rechargable battery kit) Discontinued: 10219 Maersk Train 10194 Emerald Night City Trains includes everything you need to get it moving- motor, battery pack, remote control & IR receiver 7938 Passenger Train 7939 Cargo Train 3677 Red Cargo Train |

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Mar 29 2013, 09:17 AM) Yes talking bout trains.. LEGO trains is a must-have for many AFOLs. there's a sense of charm there. I used to ponder over old LEGO catalogs as a child dreaming of owning one. took me 10 years to finally acquired one and it still there in my display right now. =) I envy you QUOTE(daydreaming @ Mar 29 2013, 09:19 AM) somehow i hv a feeling LEGO Lone ranger's train ....the design is copying Emerald's design. ahhaha. just not as nice It's not that "realistic" as it is compared to Emerald Night.... |

QUOTE(alanyuppie @ Mar 29 2013, 09:32 AM) LOL...

Bought it home and the poison started till now http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4560-1 1611-1 : Red Race Car » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I'm goind around to find cheap deal for Emerald Night, hope God will bless me one Btw, Lego Creator #4957 Ferris Wheel (2008) for RM420.00..
