Another young one! "Seen" the photos! I feel like a dinosaur. I've had the opportunity to use them before. HAHAHA

Back on topic.......

Field Report from Ikano Toys R Us - The eagles have landed.



Looks like we'll be seeing new stocks everywhere soon.

There were some other Star Wars stuff, especially restock of the 9493 - X-Wing Starfighter (which I've also seen at 1Utama TRU over the weekend)

My humble little purchase today after work at BBT, thanks to my buddy who lent me his membership for 10% discount.

Who who poison you with 60014? Accidentally click buy but how come didn't accidentally clicked on pirate ship as well? How much anyway for 60014?

memang humble compared to some taikuns here

why I can't load BL? 

I can load BL on my phone with Maxis, but can't when connected to Unifi. Same with my PC

Sorry bro. Didn't notice the LOTR pirate ships. TRU staff were still stocking up the shelves.

I was kinda excited to see new stuff and completely forgot to look for the ship. But if it already arrived, I didn't see it displayed yet.

Sometimes, people (like me!) haul first and pay later. Gotta cut down on credit card spending. 

But so far, past couple of weeks was getting local resellers. I'd probably buy from you guys and spend much more if I'm not fighting temptations all the time!

It's also a blessing I'm quite selective with my themes (for now!). Wishlist not getting any shorter.

I think it's for convenient sake and there's still alot of people that don't surf LYN for good discount and info.

One utama TRU just restocked. 80 cartons of lego boxes. Didn't see what's inside though since i'm going off. Most probably new summer sets. They were just counting the cartons when I left.

Scouters, you kmow what to do hahahha

No offense guys, i think its unfair to judge online resellers that gain large margin of profit.

Sometimes we got a bad deal or high exchange rate or get taxed, ended up only earn RM10 or no profit.

Its still way cheaper than retail, i think i should stop here.

Dont want to venture into the profit margin and stuff.

Lets get back to the LEGO topic

The saying "buyers beware" comes to mind... If you look deeper into it, the resellers are also "buyers" as they have to buy it from Europe/USA. They also run the risk of running into scams or the sets not arriving in the conditions that they first expected... What do the resellers do with the damaged sets?

Hahaha go grab it. I asked for two earlier to keep my sets But again most of their Lego carton boxes are smaller ones. Only had a few big or long ones.

There is this one particular seller in Penang (dont think he/she is active here) who, IMO, is well-known for lowest prices for LEGO on eBay. Their sets are consistently the lowest-priced sets. We'll call this seller "Seller A".

Lately, there are several new sellers on eBay who price the same sets substantially lower than Seller A. What does Seller A do? Drops their price to be RM1 lower than the new sellers. Only goes to show that they have a very high margin or they are hoping to price the new sellers out of the market. Not very cool IMO.

As an example. a particular set was sold by Seller A at RM159 only to revise the price to RM139 when other sellers start to sell the same set at RM139.

Silent reader at the forum > those participate at the forum..
Thats why when i have extra sets or something to sell, i always gives priority & gives special prices to those participate in the forum...

Hard for a startup to be lego distro. Need to show princpal that:
U got network to distribute ur toys eg relationship with big toy seller n hypermart
Able to do promo
Adhere to pricing rules
Most of all need cashflow. Hypermarts are famous for their six month payment term. Plus lego is expensive item which adds up.

u use them as pillow? or as bolster? 

Got roll-roll dreaming ... flatten the box like chapati ? 

One way that is popular is to team up several sellers to combine effort. It may work quite welll in short n mid term scenarios n if the partnership works well u could expand.

Damn...you already gotten the ship. Where did you get it?
My "ship" also just arrived...

acougan wow very nice voltron lego!!!

Mr.Alby : am i entitled to discount too ?

ultraman the great : very very very nice ships!!!    esp 79008. i think the skeletons are glow in the dark !!!

Let's focus for the future better..

Orang kaya dah post with his ship collection. Next up build and then do custom acrylic casing for it
Hohoho big ship there I assume.

Anyway was at Curve TRU today. Two Lego staff wearing Lego T-shirt was there arranging the stocks. Saw some new sets there (Tree House, Family House, wizard battle, black gate, AT-TE, new SW sets, friends set and lots of new duplo). Finally get to molest 31010 and 31012 boxes

Sad sighting was there were 4 packs of series 10 CMF torn literally. There are actually people tearing off the packet although the boxes are located right at the counter I didn't check if there's any missing parts though but the tear was quite big. Passed it to the counter and hopefully they will do something about it.

at BoM, 1 guy picit 10 boxes only then found Mr gold.

Don't know if this is old news, but as many here will say sharing is caring.

Lazada is giving RM 70 coupon off for purchases above rm 200 . (on condition that user download its app).

Hence, 79006 The Council Of Elrond at RM 209 - RM 70 = RM 139.

Is that a good price?

Just finished watching Man of Steel. Well...7.5/10 for me...
I miss the undies....
Anyhoo...
I cannot tahan...and bite the bullet....

Hahahaa
RM270.45...I can't complaint much....

1. Thanks, yeah RM580 for 10232 is indeed good price based on historical data LYN Garage - BrickExpert

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2747244/all

2. 60026 at RM380, I think it's a good price considering:-

BL price at RM340 x 25% loading = 425 (MIN)
BL price at RM380 x 25% loading = 475 (MIN)

where 25% loading = 5% Paypal + 10% Shipping + 10% tax
SOURCE: lazada.com.my after RM70 off voucher IF you DL the Android Apps. heh

I'm not dare (still) venturing into modular, once in there is no way out.
Still holding myself.

argh.. 

should i proceed with LEGO 4195 MISB without box for RM830? 

i loves the red ship 

Looks like someone poisoning people with ships and soon trains Lol I think he meant mint in sealed Bag

Still keep waiting and surveying. A few is offering RM940-970
Sorry, is every set without the Original Box, should i proceed?

Investor as don't open and fix it?  I can't because it would keep seduce me to fix it! 

what about the big ship Lego 10210 Imperial Flagship offered me with RM1300 without the original box too.
