Tower of Orthanc is too awesome.. Now in my must buy list after finished watching the review by lego designer..

Battle of Hoth 75014 - RM219.9

lazada...then r u going for the republic gunship?

me also SW fans but limited to episode 4/5/6 and certain vehicles only
SSD & DS is a must

you already have blockage runner?

I'm missing blockage runner, SSD, DS & AT-ST

nice to have would be DS2

SSD Expensive. Blockade Runner is the UCS, without figs one I believe. Tantive IV is the one with figs.

How much is camper van n r2d2 retail price yeah?

Bro you are really hauling like no tomorrow! hahaha! Super envy you!

Wow! Emerald Night price starts from USD$245 in BL! Hmmm... wonder if it's cheaper to build from parts?


This lady is seriously poisoned by train! hahaha!
Yes you better save up for the UCS X-Wing, it's already flying here...  

Usually Lego will throw in some special parts for their Exclusive sets making it not so easy/cheap to put one together...
Is it so hard to find a vendor meh? You must be trying to find one selling below USD$240 then! Let me know if you do find it at a good price, maybe I'll dive in also! hahaha!

Picture spam time! Spent some quality time with my daughter yesterday and built the newly acquired 4429 Helicopter Rescue:



Love the design of the helicopter and ambulance, you also get two stretchers! I think this set is good value as it uses lots of bricks with grooves, you don't see it in the picture as the grooves are facing inside. Playability is also very good, my daughter loves it!


Doctor: Relax... I do this all the time, it will make you feel better!

perhaps segan to show coz its the dad that does most of the playing/building. heheh..

Add postage how much ?
Need to add 10% for M'sia tax ?

Here's some updates on sets to be discontinued or already discontinued courtesy of my supplier:

June 2013: Monster Fighters, City Space, Creator sets 5766 & 5891, 1st series of Chima Speedorz, LOTR 9469 & 9472.

December 2013: 10197 Fire Brigade & 10227 B-Wing Starfighter

Recently discontinued: 3677 Red Cargo Train & 7965 Millennium Falcon

3677 and 7965 prices have not moved up yet as not many are aware of it, there are still stocks floating around either in distributors warehouse or retailers' stores. As far as TLG is concerned it is EOL and will no longer be rolling out of their production lines. As usual, once the remaining stocks disappear from the market prices will start to head north...

I regret selling my 3677, if I knew it was going EOL I would have hang on to it! You know who you are, you got a good deal!  

Lucky the persons who approached me for my 7965 wanted to think about it, so now sales is withdrawn. I want to play with it and was considering selling thinking I can re-order but since it is already EOL I want to keep my only set. I'm still trying to sapu whatever remaining sets of 7965 from my supplier but still no reply from them, maybe they are also stocking up for price appreciation!

The retirement of 10197 Fire Brigade is expected, still no official words from TLG regarding retirement dates for 10211 and 10218. Don't wait too long though, I think it will be soon too...

I was shocked to see 10227 B-Wing Starfighter in the list, I wrote to my supplier for clarification but have yet to hear from them.

Hope this will help you to plan/expedite your Lego purchases!

i was wondering a set usually last how many years b4 it is EOL?

Yeah I actually wanted more but lucky I decided to buy one first to check out the quality...

Any kind souls can help me pick this up from Tesco? I need 4. I'm willing to trade Lego for it!
You're welcomed! Go haul like a tycoon! 
It's hard to say, some sets stays in production longer than others. Ultimately it is a business and marketing decision Lego has to make... Some decisions may baffle us but I'm sure they have their reasons... I think usually minimum 2-3 years depending on how successful sales are... The decision UCS B-Wing is puzzling.
I think 10188 Death Star is either already EOL or going to be end of this year. The lot I bought was suppose to be promotional price before it goes EOL...

Thanks for the answer... LOL make me thinking to buy Millenium falcon or not... I am not a star wars fans but MF is just too awesome...

The Red Cargo Train is not so common and it is priced much higher than 7938 and 7939, maybe that's why it is not so popular and Lego decided to chop it. Looking back now, the months leading up to its retirement prices has come down by 30+%. If only I knew it was going EOL I would have ordered more!

Choo choo fans may want to keep in mind that 3677 was released in 2011 while both 7938 and 7939 were released a year earlier in 2010. My bet is 7938 will be the next train set heading for retirement, another indicator of this is Amazon UK slashing prices on this set. I have mentioned many times before, IMHO 7938 is the cheapest way to get hold of Power Functions components. If you plan on adding power functions to your Maersk, Emerald Night or Horizon Express then I suggest you buy two sets of 7938: Transfer the Power Functions to another train and then combine two sets of 7938 to make a longer train! So take advantage of the Amazon offer(s) before its over!

I have until December to save up for my B-Wing... I was reading up on the UCS Millennium Falcon early this year and it seemed back then there were no takers for the set and retailers have loads of them. Right before going EOL retailers slashed prices and some guys were lucky enough to pick up a few at a bargain. Look at the prices now! The B-Wing will definitely not generate that sort of interests like the MF but I personally like it very much as a display piece.
Ah! Lovely set, I have it too. The cheapest seller for this set in BL is located in France (BL store name: Chiwal's Shop), have you tried asking this seller for a shipping quote? I think shipping from Europe for this set can be around 20 Euros depending on which country. Actually the shipping charges from USA that you quoted earlier was also not bad given the size of this set, downside is USA is very far and shipping will take longer if it's not priority.
Me no big crazy Star Wars fan either but iconic pieces like this I like!! lol!

how much should i pay for a local set of death star?
rrp is 1999 rite? can i expect 1800 to be a *decent* price?

most emerald night sets are in USA i think

HH doesn't seem to poison me

but modular is powerful

I think if from asia is cheaper than usa, is it? (maybe the difference of shipping cost...)
yeah... I also not into train until i read the review for emerald night...
wow... when will the show available...

question:

Ok la... I try to hunt for you guys. What is the ceiling price going to be? Is RM750 ok? Early this year my friend and me bought 2 sets from Korea, including shipping was under RM700. I forgot exactly how much... Nearly two years ago I bought at RM450 only... hee hee

yes, just 3 more sets. for me only SW episode4/5/6 and limited to vehicles

since DS2 is totally out of reach, just 3 more

Heres the battery 8878 review
