and define "collect" as well too smile.gif
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?

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)...

then its worth collecting =)

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 smile.gif
*
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 sad.gif

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." .

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. smile.gif
*
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?"


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!
P/s: i dont like to arrange the bricks according to colors or size.. How many of u actually do this? smile.gif
*
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...

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... smile.gif

The new numbered bags and instructions are so easy even my 4yrs old daughter can build Modular Buildings! Lol!
*
The numbered bags is cut almost half the fun I used to have.... sad.gif Kinda sad... Now have to manually cut open all packaging and lump all up together to get back the feel.... like mixing 3 in 1 coffee

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. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yea I'm looking for the set but cannot find one at a reasonable price sad.gif Somehow I buy because I like them and don't have any intention yet to sell them. Maybe I should convert one room to a toy/Lego room like this laugh.gif

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... nod.gif

Just a question, must all the train set have motor and electric part? What if I just want to showcase only?

Not all train sets includes the motors and power functions

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
*
10194 Emerald Night does seems very nice in my opinion... It reminds me of the train I took when I was in Europe wub.gif wub.gif

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 cool2.gif When I was a child, I felt like want to buy train set but it was like RM400++ (I guess is around there) at that moment of time, which is like 10+ years ago. Due to my family can't afford this kind of train set, therefore I only play the CITY set sad.gif I was hoping to get a train set which I like though.. but is quite expensive (even I already working and earning)

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 tongue.gif

It's not that "realistic" as it is compared to Emerald Night.... sad.gif

LOL...  I spend my childhood years without a LEGO train.  after my  dark ages I attempted to "revive" this hobby but that time is not ideal coz LEGO had been juniorized. this: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6548-1

then I laid low for a few more years until one fateful day I spotted a LEGO train (just one there, jusco) in a very beaten up box , cellotaped back again, felt like Back-in-box .  Bought it home and the poison started till now smile.gif

http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=4560-1

This was my first set since 1991 (the year when I start to love Lego ALOT) laugh.gif
