wow.. the box. looks perfect!! not a single dent!

But the outer large box is quite beat up... glad the inner 3 boxes is in perfect condition.

Nice haul...

Hahaha play it during hot day so that it will snow lol

That's a lot of van!! What are you gonna do with those empty Lego boxes? I need to find some to store my sets hahahaha

Ooh! They look absolutely yummy!!

So glad to hear everything arrived safely. What's in the top box? Looks like Modular Building.

Price? RM350 I sapu all from you... RM360 pun boleh deal.

Keep them in store room for other usage and the rest recycle and donate to charity

Hahaha you must be kidding, if you got for RM350 i sapu from you bro hahahaha

Hahaha! I was really kidding only!

Very happy for you bro. Just bizarre such a big box can go "missing"!

I'm very sure you will sleep very soundly tonight!

good news indeed.

Hahahaha you desperate for camper van at RM350?

Hahaha I think everyone will sapu from each other if they can get the van for RM350. Lol ok, I'm looking for boxes to keep some of my sets. Do you have extra?

Maybe need 3 of them each if were to display.

Blue?

Let me know if you want to donate the Lego brown box...Im more than happy to come to Gardens..

hmm... i got a question/request for suggestion for vey99, alanyuppie and all the brothers/sister here.

currently i got quite many small parts...all sorted by color and put in those rm5 daiso tupperware
but the problem i face = hard to find/retrieve/get those smaller part (2x2, 1x2 stud, connector n so on)

so i went to look around for those multi compartment thing.
i saw carrefour/tesco/giant selling something like this (but it's 25 small drawer like, refer the first 2 row of the image below)


maybe i should get 2 of those and stack them up? (selling rm18-rm20 each)
then put those smaller brick part there? (since i'm still doing house keeping for my stuff/toy/room)

is it a good solution?
please share

"Who was that masked man anyway?" and "Ke-mo sah-bee"



as for those minifig accessories, i'm using something like this now
also rm5 from daiso

Yeah i have no idea what happened to DHL, maybe they sent it for a ride around the world


Thanks!

Hehe sorry i kept the ones i want and the rest already gotten the recycling center to come collect from my house

i suspect they use sea freight?

Try one first. sometimes u wont know the "feel" unless you do a test-run on how your lego-picking habit will be like . I find small parts to be hard to dig from deep compartment (that's why I'm still using shallow and wide trays , dozens of them). I only put specialised /weird shaped parts (tyres, technic beams and exoforce /bionicle parts) in deep trays coz I only need to "browse" them once to collect my required parts for MOC (for eg. snag 4 tires if want to build race car). For repeated browsing during the MOC-ing process.. shallow trays = bigger footprint = easier to locate parts on the fly.

thank you for the reply...
i'm using those tray as well. very useful
but my table getting clustered everyday (still cleaning them though)


assuming i'm getting 1 of those multi compartment...
it's 5 row, 5 drawer in 1 row type.

can i sort them by this way?
row 1 = those smaller 1x1 stud, plates, etc. plant/flower stuff
row 2 = 2x2, 2x1 stud, plates, etc
row 3 = 3x1, 4x1, 4x2 stud, plates, etc
row 4 = all those connector/joints/hinge
row 5 = funny/weird bricks, printed parts,

does it make sense to you?

/in before i'm got Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD)

row 1 ,4,5 sounds good coz they're categorized properly.

As for row 2 and 3, you must train yourself to remember the plates dimension to avoid looking at the wrong location. since they're many plate sizes (2x3, 2x4, 4x6 ).. u might confuse yourself.

My current categorization

tray 1) everything plates 1x1 and 1x2 (including modified ones with clips)
tray 2) everything plate 1x n longer than 2. 1x3 until 1x16 ... I call them" sticks" .

the rest of the plates and "normal bricks" are sorted by color. If the plate are too big , eg 8x8 (I know I hardly gonna use it.).. all will end up in "unloved" tray with other huge parts. LOL. Big parts on top of much smaller ones will block the view, so gotta isolate them.

Got it. thanks for the explanation.
thanks for sharing too.

cos i spend too much time searching for those small part in tupperware (i only sort them by color)
so the big parts always blocking the view.
wanna cut down searching time and make it easier for me to build stuff (by investing some time to sort them first)

I agree and i have the same suspicion... The shipping i paid was... average, not cheap not expensive.
So i wouldn't rule out the possibility of sea freight... sigh.... well at least it arrived in one piece!
