Wah! Shopping trip again? Envy you bro!

Visa to buy Lego! lol!

I bought my Imperial Flagship from a Taiwanese seller, I can only tell you that shipping is ok. Sorry can't help much... I think Korea is still cheaper.

Wah! Very nice price!!

Thanks for sharing. My supplier asked me some time ago if I was interested with 10234 and back then I thought was the architecture series... lol! Only now I realised we are talking about the replacement for Tower Bridge!

Thanks for the valuable information bro!!

Hmmm.... Saw the review already but wasn't too impressed with the ship... It's kinda sparse and I personally don't like how some of the pieces are attached, looked like they can fall off easily... Just my opinion, could be very different when I get my hands on a box later... Lol!

No problem! Hope to see some reports from you on Taiwan pricing upon your return!

Yeah I remember seeing it selling at RM699 or RM690. Look more like a marketing blitz to bomb the reseller market than anything, until now still no re-stock... lol!

The pace of life there is very different, even when you cross one of those big zebra crossings slowly you will get 'hit' by locals who seemed to be always in a hurry... Life on the fast lane in a busy metropolis, Malaysia is still like a kampung compared to cities like that...

I heard the same too, would love to visit Korea one day...

Me! Me! Me! If our bro can help me bring home 20 sets pun tak jadi masalah! I love this set too much!

I think he meant FC/FO? Financial Controller/Financial Officer?

Anyway, relieved that my shipment of Maersk train landed in KLIA!

Hmmm... I won't say it is impossible but have to really find a cheap source in order to achieve price below RM600 for AA. I am paying below RM600 for it at the source but once factor in shipping and tax the cost the numbers are no longer magical... lol! Maybe find a wholesaler in USA, ship it via sea container and perhaps then can get it below RM600...

Haha! I suck at bargaining so can only press my supplier so much... Moreover, I look into other qualities and not just price alone. Believe me, I have tried many times but he wouldn't budge. I was already pushing to the limit where I run the risk of upsetting them and souring the relationship... I recently tried to nego a special price for someone who wanted 30 sets of 10240 Red Five X-Wing and he wouldn't budge a cent! That's the limit of my negotiation skills. lol!

Seriously if I can do a bulk order for 10220 at that price I would but still no luck with price...

Thanks bro! You have no idea how stressed I was with this order especially given the bad experience you had... Now I can proceed to confirm the 2nd batch!

Hope your issue get resolved soon too!

lol! Import 100 sets nanti Inland Revenue Dept come after me, think I buka kedai!

Now the real sifu has spoken!

If you can get < RM350 I will also COD with you in Penang!

10937 Batman™: Arkham Asylum Breakout

Simply amazing!! Work of a true master!

Yay! Can't wait to see! Need to keep Modular Buildings poison strong...

Won't ship to Malaysia la... You were just teasing us right?

I'm not the only one who has supplier la, if Amazon cheaper then will sure buy from there...

I think your HK price still cheaper!

Thanks for sharing Modular Buildings poison!!

Uber cool PF Lights!

Here's the link bro --> 8870 Power Functions Light

You're welcomed sis! Glad you love it!

You will need Queen Anne's Revenge to battle his Black Pearl...

ToysHunt is also found in Novena Square, neat little shop but very well stocked. Minifig collectors will go gaga in there! I also visited their store in Great World City, it's double the size of Novena Square but the ambiance not so great... I think if you buy over a certain amount you get to join their membership and enjoy 10%. The cashier will advise you to keep the receipts for that purpose.

Another popular store is ToyBrickStation located in Serene Centre. Never been there myself but I heard their prices are also very good.

Happy shopping! Can't wait to see your haul!

TGIF! Have a great weekend my friends!

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.

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.

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.

Glad to see a happy ending bro!

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.

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!

Hahaha! Started it as a joke, I don't want to get my hopes up finding it at RM350. Will "close case" with this joke. lol!

Mind sharing how much was the shipping for this lot? Perhaps that will shed some light whether it is sea freight or air freight?

Yup! We should all use rechargeable batteries for the sake of our environment! It puzzles me that big names like Tesco are selling single use batteries cheaply, kinda sending the wrong message to the public. It is true that same devices needed the full 1.5V from single use batteries to operate but I'm sure there are compatible models that operate just fine on rechargeables...

I have a battery charger/analyser and so far the Eneloops are very stable even after many rounds of recharge.

Have you tried Eneloop XX? It is higher capacity at 2500mAh but downside is that it is only good for 500 cycles... I use them for my speedlights and they last forever in them! I find my speedlight refresh faster with the XX than regular Eneloops....

One day I will try to do a comparison on my train between regular Eneloop and XX...

Yeah, Eneloop still the best for me too. Took note of your price, I may be going to Low Yat Plaza soon so I'll check price and report here.

I just tried, parcel tracking worked for me when I check for my incoming DHL shipment.
