Anyone bringing this in ?

Long weekend for me as my company off today. So I did a moc using the parts from the buildings of 6857 & 6864.

Lol both showing the same collection. At least you guys have them. I don't hahahaha

the spiderman web can do this

this is lego. its endless possibilities. limit only to our imaginations

The ewoks are sure a brutal lot, to make such bridges.. they have to butcher the army droids and chop off their arms . Wondered what happened to the rest of the bodies

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

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.

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.

  no lah bro. Standard alkaline battery (AA or AAA) are 1.5V (in reality around 1.4-1.65V++)

Rechargable battery are 1.2-1.3V

Hence, the standard battery pack 6x alkaline ranges 8.4-9.6V++
Rechargeable 6x 1.2V = 7.6V , hence degraded motor performance.

By going 8x 1.2V = 9.6V
If battery is fully charge, is about 8x 1.3V = 10.4V. But I tested it won't sustain at this, once running continuously, it will drop to 9.5-10.0V

Even new/fresh alkaline at +1.65V x 6 = 9.9V

The Lego motors can stretch all the way to 11-12V.
10V is still fine.
<8V the performance will degrade.

Cannot fit 10x battery lah    that's 12V-16V already, sure kill the motor.

tl:dr summary: More environment friendly to use rechargeable battery, but I need to maintain ~9V.

i currently use similar solution, but its 3x3 drawers per unit. its small, and i use it to store
1x1 tiles
1x2 tiles
1x1 plate
1x1 plate round
modified tiles
modified plates
modified slopes/brick
transparent bricks
hinges

for decorations, weapons, i use separate hobby boxes like for fishing hooks where once open you can access all compartments.

now that u mention ima gonna drop by at tesco and grab some more storage hehe

So far, I bought 6x Daiso mid-size containers with compartments. You know how many of those tiny Technic pins, axles, connectors are. Don't skimp on too small compartments like 3x3cm. Get bigger ones with 5x5cm compartments and deep enough at least 4-6cm (not 2-3cm).

The above (your pic suggestion) is good, if you have a work/play table to permanently put it. I still use containers and can bring around, stack and move around.

Also, the small drawer may seem sufficient, but very soon will be too small 

Just my 2 cents

for me, still not enough containers and compartments, so I share 2-3 items per compartment.

compartment 1: 2x and 4x axles (or 2/4/6 x axles)
compartment 2: 3x and 5x axles (or 3/5/7 x axles)
...
some have huge quantities, like the black Technic pin with slots ... easily have 1000 pieces total now. Which will occupy a mid-size single container all by itself. Cannot mix with other pins, as digging deep down will be difficult.

u guys are so well organize

for bricks i put them in the daiso shoe box, separate by colour and stack them up. plates of the same color go into the shoe box in a separate ziplock bag.

my singapore haul from toystation@serene centre:

9466 monster fighter mad scientist lab
7188 kingdoms kings carriage ambush
7572 prince of persia quest against time

all were on "further diskaun" due to box condition.
pity they dint have battle of alamut...

if you dont mind "loosening" the bricks, join the same parts together and store. i do it for my 2x2, 2x4 so i can more easily identify the 1x2/1x4/etc

Just to share, I don't have many sets and spares yet so this is sufficient for now.

RM 5 DAISO case.


Think need to go buy more display case for minifigs. Multi-tiered ones better? All my current ones are flat.

i think the monster fighter set i will build and play cos my kid loves monster fighter minifigs
kingdom set can build and play also
prince of persia one maybe play a bit then take apart to make something else cos a lot grey parts
but i wont join the 1x1,1x2 parts cos they are weak and will loosen after a few times of build

Yes, I notice the grouping is quite simple. Skip 2 sizes, for each compartment. Easier to find.

You can go different method, like:
1,4,7,10
2,5,8,11
3,6,9,12

or some go
1,10
2,9
3,8
4,7
5,6 -> this one a bit difficult to choose/pick out.
This is the problem. So far I still not yet mix the sets together.
No choice. There are couple of times, I thought there are missing parts, until I dig left/right up/down, different containers & compartments until finally found it 

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.

This is nice!!
Arkham Asylum is where they dump all crazy people. The building is nice, minifigs are nice - some are rare too. Look at my avatar, nice eh?
Yeah, so great. Saw that one of the BOMers bought it.
Saw one brand, Enlighten, also nice. Got pics in BOM. Then saw it in Ebay US, got China people saw it as Building Brick "City", hehe

and my complete S10



Got a few more others.. but will need to dig back out.. will post later.
