Let's play Minecraft..
Got this set from Mr. Alby a couple of months back..

Hi, like what the sifus have said earlier, you can still get 3677 at a 'decent' price so if it's to your liking you should aim for that first. Not everyone like the 3677, most prefer 7939 and 7938.

You will most likely end up with Power Functions so 7938 and 7939 will be a good start. 10233 doesn't come with Power Functions and will be funny when you have other trains zooming round the circuit and the 10233 needs to be pushed along... lol! You will need to consider adding Power Functions once you get 10233, that will come later but you should expect this to happen because you need it, not by choice...

10219 Maersk Train and 10194 Emerald Night are considered "exotic" now so if you want to save your wallet you should steer clear of them.... In fact, don't even look up those set numbers! You will seriously regret!!! First regret for looking, second regret for not buying them sooner, third regret for having to pay $$$ for them... Regret betul! lol!

Jokes aside, there will always be newer trains to be released by Lego. Who knows, with both 10219 and 10194 retired and market in short supply of these two 'classics' there is a chance a new classic train will be released soon...

You're right, building a Lego City is a labour of love (my wife definitely do not share this view!:x) and frankly it will never be complete because it is ever changing with new buildings/features being added and dismantled... The fun and joy is really in the process of building.

Haha.. It's not always like that.. Only half for LEGO.. Half more for toiletries.. Remove everything for the sake of taking picture..

Yes.. Now need to find some nice case to display on office table..

Check out my thread bro. I have 7938.

Couldn't agree more! why did you have to go and do a bulk order on Maersk Train???

Wanna Ask, Where did you go to buy ur lego in HK ? Any special location? planning to go HK end of the year to do some serious shopping..

lol! Nobody asked you to click on the link...

If you look at bro cute_boboi signature you will see his guide to Lego shopping in HK. Very helpful guide and a must read for any Lego fans planning a trip to Hong Kong.

Ya, technic need more time especially for those large set a lot of small parts and it build parts by parts then combine together
(example, 8109 is build middle motor part, then rear part, then the front part, then combine three parts together, then front colorful part and lastly the rear big flatbed part)

when i finish first 10-20 steps, I only realize that I'm taking the wrong parts at the beginning and luckily I found it early rather than finish the truck but definitely enjoy the build process... I even can't resist and play with the gears when the whole gearing parts is clear, and i learn that's how the motor make this and that move...

Just to share what i found out, the 8109 back four wheels part will lower a bit when the flatbed part is lower by motorised function...
this is quite surprise for me as I though only the flatbed part lower...

Haha... I'm also feeling the same as well regret betul...
but nvm, i think that there is a chance of new classic train will be released in future that similar or even better than 10194 emerald night...

I found another big lot of 10194 Emerald Night! More than 10 sets available!

Please don't read anymore if you want to save your wallet...


I don't think I have the financial capability and time to do this order, need volunteer to take over the lead for this one. Anyone?

Can I only have the volunteer(s) pm me, I really cannot undertake this bulk order as I have multiple shipments incoming... Based on the number of requests I get for this set achieving the minimum quantity is not a problem, more than 10 sets also possible if everyone who inquired confirm to buy.

Seems like good price for tis set.. train fans buy buy!!

Glad u received it.safely haha~
Enjoy, happy reading and assembling~

I also skip all previous trains (pre-2008 ?). Start with about 3677 and RC (PF) series. Not 9V tracks.
I also skip those cartoonish trains like Toy Story train

If derailed ... major minifigs in hospitals ...

But seriously, the stress on the motor will wear it out. I have not try it out yet, but I think one motor with 4-5 box-cars will start to stress it out, unless multi-engine train.


Well, I'm one of the victim Was doing along fine on Technic only. But I have passion for trains since young though

Smilies emoticons limit ... separate post ...

Again ... I'm a victim for train poison already ... waiting Maersk

Building a city ... will cost a lot... base plates. Then add harbour.
Then add airport.
Then police station series.
Then fire dept series
Then hospital, ambulances, ...
Then other buildings like 10184 (warning: poison, don't search)
Then city accessories stuff ... a lot of small packs / boxes
Then ... then ... city goes bankrupt

Therefore, ... better don't follow this thread

split post due to too many emoticons ...

woo... bro, u first batch also ?

Bro,

Check my signature link lah ... I susah susah type leh ... then print-screen google map, then draw colour guide lines for you all ... take pic and upload ...

Thanks bro. Not that I'm a blogger or looking for hit-counts or making money from it. Just start a blog and put there for people to easily read / follow.


Ya, Technic is quite realistic and similiar very-light-engineering/mechanical stuff.
Quite impressive on how the designers think/plan those beams, connectors, etc.

I heard 10194 emerald night pieces falls off easily like the SD/SSD ?

and 1 more do not read those review.. kena poison

http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53438

This is poison ...

Actually end of last year (or earlier this year?), a bro here was selling a damaged box set ... I was contemplating go or no go into train... then someone already wallop it

That was the time my anti-venom was still working ... Then crumbled ... defense -10, str -5, cons -5

ohya, to motorized it with RC, I think need another few hundred RM

This is seriously poisonous bro... cannot read on lol
