wuah talking about train tracks now..i do wonder how big is ur LEGO room !

So now it's back to train poison? hahahaha. Anyway bro Ultraman the great, count how many boxes of tracks you need then share with us. I want to have an estimation on how many boxes are needed Then I can start drawing wahahaha

Bro Ultraman has his train laid from kitchen to the living room. I'm still waiting for his pic spam

lol! I think that's just the beginning...

The trick with the flexible tracks is to brace them. If you just lay them on the flat floor then they are bound to wiggle around when the train goes over them unlike the rigid straight/curve tracks. I'm assuming you have them laid on the floor rather than fixed on a baseplate or something similar... Once you have them set in a city layout then it shouldn't be a problem because the flexi tracks will be fixed to something, they are just too flimsy on their own...

With 7896 you end up with too many extra curve tracks. In most city layouts you can only use so many curve tracks, what city builders miss most are straight tracks and Lego (being clever people they are) don't give many straight tracks in the train sets... If you take a look in BrickLink, Straight tracks are the most expensive, almost 3x the price of curved tracks. Flexi tracks can be had from RM0.60! lol!

7936 Level Crossing used to be a cheap way of getting straight tracks but Lego realised that it was selling too well and affected the sales of 7896 and 7499 so it was discontinued.

Agree!

No lah. Get more sets with "straight" tracks 79111, 3677, 7939, ...

2 boxes not enough ah.... damn... nvm let me open the boxes and try the layout when i'm free this coming weekend.

If not enough only go and grab again hehehe

Are you placing your tracks and city layout on the conference table?

Can also use the straight BrickLink 3228b

The problem with flexi tracks, the gaps on the rail are quite big, and causes more serious rattles/vibration.
And each gap is like an inch away from each another

Also, when pulling carriages from stop, it is easy to disconnect the rail-cars at the back due to the additional friction.

Maybe more like into car porch, round the side of the house, enter the kitchen and back to living hall

yay.. for me i like the rattles/vibration sound created from the track when the train running over

the 7996 BL selling USD100 ??

buy the train station set, use the 4x straight tracks and keep the other bricks for moc or build a bigger train station

dammit. Lazada just cancelled my order for the Light house set for unknown reasons
Wonder how they manage their stocks, seen this happened previously to other members. This is really poor service!

maybe no stock?

Ya bro, the conference table

Hmmm perhaps too many people ordered because of the RM70 discount? I remembered the last incident was for AA.

Lol ok. I would love to see how you set it all up. I'm still thinking how I'm gonna plan out my layout with all 4 corners having different town setting

Pity u bro..heard few cases already that Lazada cancelled the order for unknown reasons esp Lego sets..

But u still got AA to build for the time being right..hehe

Buy first, regret/rejoice later.... hahaha....

True, but only if u want those sets la. Can get 7937 also, cheap set! Haha....

Sorry to hear that bro. I actually got one shipment delivered but under their lazada promise, means got ready stock, very happy with their servkce., got another order also but still pending and not cancelled yet. But today I saw anor promo, 40 off >200 purchase. Wonder if they cancelled the 70 off promo now....

but this Lighthouse is hard to find now
AA will have to wait until I have a space to display

There's an option to ask for a full refund or turn my cancelled order into store credit.
I wonder how much will they give for the store credit? As per the items original price b4 the RM70 discount? or the final amount I paid after the discount? Gonna ask them n see. Hope it's not the latter, else it's just bad business practice from them
