You actually bought that??@!#? Walauehh..

Respect

So many sets coming in August. Targeting the Mobile Crane MK2. So.... doing to do CS like the X-Wing? Speaking of X-Wing, should I? should I?

As for the Town square I remember it somehow appeared in Germany a week back. This August release date is for EU, US or worldwide?

so fast?

How about brick boy? Any stock ?

On the way back I stopped by TRU Pyramid just to scout the stock there. You know, in case there is a hidden Mr gold there.....

But Pyramid got no new stock!

So decided to head over to Empire to buy the superman set with general zod and Louise Lane. The S10 all kena picit-picit already, so did not buy any.

And no, there is no Extremis Sea battle in TRU Empire.

This week's haul. Superman from Empire. Orang Besi and Mesin Perang from KLCC. Book from Kinokuniya. Was surprised to see it in Kinokuniya. Best part is the little instructions to build KLCC!

No more after I took mine.

I wish was there during the COD session to meet up with you guys and see the reaction of people there eventhough I have yet to buy anything from Lego_Jason. Who knows, maybe time will tell if I would haul an X-Wing or the technic flagship later this year.

OMG, looks like Lego has taken over your room. Until you have to sleep with your Lego!

This thread is very crazy compared to the TF thread. Sometimes people haul the whole autobot or decepticon party in 1 go, but here people haul a few modular, ships, even death stars in 1 go

Having bought both the Superman 76009 and Iron Man 76006 set I have a little theory on why the Extremis Sea Battle set is cheaper than the supposedly similar priced Superman set. Prior to the arrival of the Extremis set by ALJ, outside sellers including our members here were already selling this set at RM 99.00 or lower. So I think ALJ must have seen that there is a big demand for this set here and BOM plus the fact that the sellers here are already offering this set CHEAPER and FASTER than ALJ.

Put it this way, if you are a distributor and you see all these grey importers bringing in this set faster and cheaper than you, I'm sure you will at least match the price they are selling. Otherwise if you kept the price at RM 139.90 similar to the Superman set you can see all your potential purchasers run and go to these grey importers and since the demand is high for a set like this grey importers will make a killing.

Now, why are the Superman sets priced more expensive than the Ironman sets? My question is this; I did not see any sellers here do any CS or selling this Superman set unlike the Iron man set where I saw got a few people bring in quite a large quantities of it. So the price "bar" so to speak was never set. Same like Lone Ranger, no one seem to have brought it in early.

Just my 2 cents on the different in price although I am sure there are other reasons too.

Btw, the summer 2013 Star Wars sets like the Republic Gunship, Sail Barge are already on sale on Shop At Home in some Euro countries. I wonder if anyone here is going to bring in these sets? I know the bar has been set for the UCS X-wing price as our good friend has brought in the 1st batch.

Wah.. So CHEAP!! I mean, I got my Palace Cinema when it just came out in early March at approximately RM 800+. Of course that time I pulled the trigger coz I knew I would be one of the early adopters and willing to pay a little higher than usual. Also that time dunno what is the price and estimated it would cost RM 899 like the other modulars.

The price of the family house looks good too! If it is good then I might want to buy 2-3 sets to build a modular.


I think so. So far ALJ didn't quite do my business very well since I bought some large sets like FB, PC, LOTR, Maersk Train etc from sources other than ALJ. Brickboy and TRU also not very often unless the item is RM 150 and below.

So I guess if ALJ want my business back for large sets they better offer it at a competitive price AND ahead of all the resellers. Like how fast I can get my Palace Cinema when 1 lubang came out...


Keep up the good work my friend! although ALJ offer cheaper price gods knows when the sets will arrive to our shore or the stock that they bring in is enough to cater for the demand. Like the Arkham Asylum, while it has a good price but the stock is very very limited! Same for the Palace Cinema, I bought it when it was available because I did not know when the set will arrive here. See how long it took for the haunted house to arrive here? Then I recall it took quite a while for the Town hall to arrive too!

Then of course the high price for licence sets like Star Wars, Superheroes etc. Some sets like Jabba's Palace and Rancor pit are insanely priced like there is some "license" tax on it. No one knows for sure how much ALJ will sell sets like the Sail barge or Republic Gunship yet. So there still avenues for resellers on this front. Then of course is the UCS X-Wing...

As for those who are still doubting or not sure to get a modular or not, below is the reason you REALLY should get a modular building.

You are right, gotta snap new pictures. But not easy taking out all of those modulars and arranging them again. Maybe next time

Oh, I read on Brickset some of the summer City and Galaxy Squad sets are already on sale in TRU US website. When it our turn....
