Some Lego Friends stuff...





Got some free promotional Friends DVD, too bad it's not that cool holographic stuff...

It's actually a very nice theme, I love the colours and all the new accessories. It's a nice addition to any City theme but only thing is the minifigs are not compatible. Agree with bro Caryane below, I don't like the dolly minfigures. It's nice to see but not so posable like the standard minifigs... Heck, they can't even sit down with their butt properly joined to a seat! lol!

Both are my favourites from this theme! I'm not so into the vet and horse stables....

I'm also quite interested to get the Hulk, may I know which set has it? Hope it is not a discontinued set...

Anyway, more pictures...



Star Wars theme! I have to admit the 7965 Millenium Falcon is growing on me just by holding the box alone! It is quite heavy! A very "dense" box, not the usual sets where there are lots of extra room. No wonder it cost so much!

So I'm expecting this falcon to be another solid masterpiece once built up...

Hee Hee. Nope, I'm not going to break the rules and do business here!

Sorry bro, pretty much everything are pre-ordered by my friends and me. Some of my sets I can let go because I can re-order again but my friends' stuff I can't decide for them. We worked on this combined order since Chinese New Year... If you find something you like in the photos feel free to pm me and I'll let you know if I want to let them go...

Some of the sets are also for a few forum members here.

I'm just spreading the poison with the picture spam... hee hee

Sorry to hear that guys... Well, look on the bright side... Your money is safe! (for another day) hahaha!

Next poison is for Lego City fans...



Palace Cinema.
My daughter will love 4429.

I bought my CMF Series 7 from him. Good seller and very reasonable shipping but I suppose if you buy Mr. Gold you will want all sorts of insurance cover! lol!

Sharing is caring bro!!

Btw, before I continue with more poison, can anyone help confirm this? Another forumer and I would like to know if the track from the train sets are compatible with that from 6857 Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape? I know I've asked this before but would like to put it to rest once and for all... Below is a picture of the regular train track, the track width is 4cm. Can someone help check the track width of the tracks in 6857 please? Thank you!

Wow! The last "hint" getting personal... You must have been digging in FB!

Anyway, hope the following can "calm" you down...

For the choo-choo train fans...



Horizon Express is here! Yay! More tracks anyone?

Wah! Emerald Night carry a very high price tag!

Sorry sis, this is a previous combined order with my good friends. The one you signed up for is coming, I'm expecting and hoping your shipment to reach KLIA by this Friday... Fingers crossed!

However, if your fingers really gatal you can take the train first! Just have to trouble you to COD again when the Palace Cinema arrives...

Thank you! That's the whole point with the picture spam! Keep drooling!

Hmmm... nothing much to spam... now some less exciting stuff...



Again for choo choo train fans, PF LED lights!



The police helicopter polybag was requested by a fellow forumer, you know who you are!

Thank you sir!

haha! Now you know!!

I don't dare to check BL...

Well, I know the feeling when you are honourable and the other party is not... Nothing you can do bro... Just believe in things happen for a reason, maybe you're not destined to part your hard earned money to this person and there is a better deal round the corner for you...

Running out of pictures already...



Some Lego posters... We have City, Friends and Chima posters. FOC from my supplier. From time to time he dump some FOC promotional materials into the shipping box... I remember when Lego Friends was first released my daughter received a Lego Friends activity book, that was pretty cool!

Not all are mine la! How I wish!!

Hahahaha! Good one bro!!

Could be a misunderstanding or miscommunication too... I'm sure they can trash it out especially the seller since he needs to clear his name.

Great! Thanks for the confirmation!!

Yup! Totally agree, train tracks will take over your room and then you start thinking what should you put in that big space inside the loop... A Lego City!!

My last two pictures before signing off for tonight...

This is for the Chima fans:


I'm not into Legends of Chima but my supplier dumped me a big stack of stickers! (bottom right) On the left is the poster I posted earlier and on the top right is actually the Lego catalog for 2013 (Jan - June) featuring The Legends of Chima on its cover. Clearly TLG is pushing Chima very hard!

This is a journey back in time for some of us oldies.... For those of us here old enough to remember, we used to find Lego catalogs like this at the toy shop and department stores. They were free to pick up and I used to drool over all those sets I didn't own! Held it like a Bible and dream of owning it one day... Haha!

I thought TLG don't produce/distribute catalogs like this anymore in the age of the internet but I was delighted to have received this!

Has anyone seen this in LLM?

And ladies and gentlemen, the grand finale of my picture spam... The sets that you have seen in all the pictures only require one car to haul back.

Ever wonder what were in the brown boxes at the bottom of all the pictures?



Sealed in original Lego carton box and in perfect condition. Go google the number if you still don't know what it is. I needed the second car for this lot!

Good night folks!! Enjoy!

lol! If I have to wait for my salary to pay for this haul I really need to eat maggi or grass only...

I sold my car recently that's how I have the money to fund the big orders. So ideas for you, sell your car, house, wife, gf etc.... lol!

My picture spam generated a lot of interests and I receive a lot more pm than my bulk order! When I want to sell something no pm, when I'm not selling anything I get pm...

The PF Ligt is very cool, have yet to try it out myself. I ordered it to mod my trains, let me think about it ya? I may let go some lights and tracks since I'm too busy right now to play with everything, still have many unopened sets too...

Hee hee. Thank you! Glad you like it!

That's why I sold my car. It finally dawn on me that car is a depreciating asset while Lego will appreciate over time... So now I collect Lego and pray they appreciate when they go EOL.

Sure! You supply Mr. Gold and I'll provide the hammer.

No worries, Mr. Gold will come out again at the other end... maybe not Mr. Gold anymore! Muahahaha!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hi, the explanation is going to be very long and I don't have much time right now... I'll do a quick one and hopefully others can chip in to complete the whole picture...

As a rule of thumb shipping from USA will be much higher than Europe. Some of the better or more experienced sellers/stores in BrickLink will list the shipping charges either in their splash page or store terms tab. I will normally buy from stores who publish the shipping charges as it is more straight forward and to me it is also an indication that the seller is experienced with overseas orders. If you really need to buy from a store that did not publish the shipping charges then just send them an inquiry first BEFORE placing an order. So far from my experience all sellers responded positively to my inquiries.

Sometimes you may come across stores/sellers who has the items you want in their inventory but they do not ship to Malaysia. Unless the seller is already very specific in the splash page or store terms that international shipping is not available it doesn't hurt to ask politely if they would consider shipping to you because in most cases they will! I've done this many times and was never turned away!

Hope this helps! Have a good weekend!

Definitely do-able with the car he's driving. I've seen it!

Good morning bros and sis! Was busy with work and tax returns last week, now have to spend hours catching up on the posts! Looks like we're hitting V10 this week!

If you are only buying a small set usually you will escape tax. I think the rule of thumb is anything below RM500 in value is exempted from import tax, bear in mind your shipping cost is also considered part of the overall import value meaning Lego + shipping less than RM500 is exempted. The import tax is 10%.

Mind sharing what are the sets you are hunting? I think USD$40 shipping can only be a medium size set. You may want to try a European seller? The prices may be a little higher than USA but shipping will be cheaper and it may work out cheaper overall. Another good source will be Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Shipping will be very reasonable within Asia. Hope this helps!

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...

I always like your photos and I have to admit I finally kena poison kau kau by The Hulk! Can you please tell me in which set(s) I can get it? Thanks!

I actually had a dream the other day that somebody here will get lucky with Mr. Gold, hope it comes true!

I won't be so lucky... don't even get anything in a lucky draw!

lol! The writing is already on the wall, you are failing to resist!

I'm also exploring this to light up my city in the future. I have a contact who makes scale models for housing developers and he uses LED and fibre optics to light up his models. I've been meaning to check with him so since you brought this up I will check it out maybe this week.

I have those tweezers too but bought them for other purposes, I did try to apply stickers with them but it ended up worse than applying with my hand because I get all clumsy with tweezers! lol!

Just watch out when using tweezers that you don't pinch them too hard otherwise you will leave a deep mark on the stickers where the tweezers were holding them...

Yup! Unless you plan on making it a permanent display it's a good idea to have it battery powered, that way it's much easier to move the set around and for ease of storage too. Nowadays with LEDs power consumption is minimal and batteries should last quite long.

Between LED and fibre optics I would go for the later but it could be expensive. I lilke fibre optics as it means I only need one main light source and then I can run the fibre optics to wherever I want to light up. It will be a challenge to conceal the wires for LED lights and the wires will be thicker and more visible than fibre optics. Fibre optics are clear transparent, slimmer and lighter so is much easier to work with imho. It's all theory, I have yet to try it myself!

Unfortunately you may have to do some DIY if you want it to look neat and have that professional look. One of the things planned for my city is to light up all the street lights, for that I plan on drilling a tiny hole in the lamp post so I thread the wire through it. I'm already eyeing a Dremel tool set in Amazon, sadly don't see it being sold here...

lol! Their engines still new so cannot engage warp speed yet, need to slowly run in...

I'm keeping the good news for later...

Thank you! Injecting full dose of 6868 poison now...

Yeah, it's painful pushing those Technic pins but isn't it risky with the screw driver? A slip and it can leave a deep gash in your fingers... Also risk scratching the Technic pieces...

I used to use a blade too, same technique as you and it works well for me but now I'm too lazy so just use fingers. I think with practice using fingers is also not a problem... Yeah, I guess nobody like to apply stickers! Well, except for my daughter but I wouldn't dare let her do it! lol!

Yeah, prices of Lego is very much higher in Thailand. My friend goes there quite often to visit the in-laws...

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!

Yup! The old Lego fibre optics are very thick. Anyway, I was not referring to that. Will be too pricey and they don't produce it anymore I think. It's also too short.

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!

USD$280 before shipping? BL prices starts from USD$245, maybe you can try there.

lol! How to take photo when we were so busy building ah?

Yet another inspiration, I'm having the same idea too but will let my daughter play with it first. After some time the building will be demolished by her and that's when I'll pick up the pieces and MOC it to a modular building.

Currently I'm combining her Friends sets into a modular.

Buy it! It's relatively inexpensive if you can source it from overseas (<RM200), retail price here is

Hee Hee. How do you know?

Eh! I'm not so bad ya! She's my daughter!

That's also my estimated price... If anyone can find a source cheaper than that please share! Given the circumstances RM900 will be a good price!

Yeah, most of the time the tax works out to be about 11% from the value of the order. IMHO I think it's because customs use a different exchange rate from us, they will do their on conversion and levy the 10% tax rate based on their computation hence the end result to us is about 11%.

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!
