Old Vs. New UCS X-Wing

Love the design of the old box. It's got that "premium" look. How much is it going for these days? hmm.gif

Actually, me too. Wanted to get it when I was in UK in August last year. Was in Windsor but didn't get to visit Legoland Windsor. Was with family and wife didn't want to go. Ended up sightseeing castles etc instead.

Old pic spam. Taken at a little department store in Windsor.

Then again, I wasn't as serious about Lego at that time and already planned LLM trip so I thought I could've bought stuff locally. Also thought there would be problem carrying them back.

Didn't know the prices in Msia were jacked then! Ended up getting only a mug from The Big Shop and went to Brickboy and bought 2 Batman sets the day I came back from LLM as they were sold out there!

Some late afternoon spam.

Inspired by the Iron Man Hall Of Armor ....... I deconstructed my Batcave set and trying to see what I can come up with. Something quick for now.

Thanks bro! Looks like about double in length of the normal one.

How many figures can you fit in that small one? It looks a little different from mine.

I have one DAISO case that fits about 5 in a row so a total of 10 figs front and back. If I really squeeze them together, maybe can fit 6 in a row making a total of 12 in the case.

agreed! wanna cheaper version, the "china copy c/w lego compatible" type also can hahahaha

Will these hold the figures in place or have to be dainty and not touch them to risk them falling over.

the bro who used elephant glue, why not try blu-tac? No damage to the minifigs. Plus you can always remove it later.

Stick a little blu-tac on my minifig legs and place them in Daiso case. Abit ugly if use too much but it gets the job done.

Good morning AFOLs,

Time for everyone to show July hauls .......

QUOTE(ilfort @ Jul 1 2013, 08:58 AM)
Me also lor, need keep press and press and press again.

Then drop some set off the cart, press calculator again. Then only check out.
*
QUOTE(wintzen @ Jul 1 2013, 09:06 AM)
Yup, have to press the calculator a few times, then maybe also check amazon and see if pricing is really cheap or not.
*
So that's how tycoons do it. With a calculator and online price check. I do that too and also with the use of Evernote which I save price lists from various sources and sellers.

Then it also involves me taking the box, putting it back on the shelf. Walk away to reconsider. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until I finally decide. This only applies if I buy from retail store.

Sometimes, I'll leave it to fate tongue.gif I'll walk away and jalan-jalan around to do my other stuff and tell myself "If the set is still here when I get back, it means it belongs to me and I'll get it". These are normally last set on shelves like the LOTR sets I got from AEON.

NO! No no no no no .......

It actually looks quite nice but I wish they standardized the colors. And had armor like the Galaxy Patrol CMF. But this way, they won't sell as many sets.

how come there is some ppl can get 10% disc from LLM?

Lazada RM640 i placed order, but the order was cancel as they don't have stock, even palace cinema they listed and stated not available and  nvr hv stock then later that delisted

Dunno about LLM discount but I got mine for about RM 640 with 1U Card Points. Now trying to get more points again after redeem all at TRU.

That's the complaint I keep hearing about Lazada. And now their packing methods for shipping shakehead.gif

Need to be real fast and box conditions not a priority if you want to buy from them.

Just curious, which set does it come out with Hazmat? I can't find any so far. As I somehow felt that all CMF like came from a set like Monsters theme got vampire and so on. But Hazmat?
*
I'm thinking sooner or later, all CMF will be reused. Don't think TLG will invest so much money to make unique molds and make limited quantities of figures. I think there are many unique pieces in the CMF series?

If not now, maybe a few years down the road. So maybe the Hazmat Guy will make another appearance.

Could be good to know but does anyone know how many CMF figures there are worldwide?

I'm still stroking and fondling my small unopened sets. Arkham Asylum also haven't opened yet.

And here I'm being poisoned by Modulars in the pic. Only Palace Cinema not in the pic or already got it previously?

Got my friend who was in New York to bring these back for me from Lego store. Something interesting he told me. The price tag for the sets in Lego store are all 2-10USD higher than the ones listed in shop.lego.com. For example, 76003 is priced at USD54.99 while shop.lego is only at USD49.99. Luckily, my friend printed my list with the price taken from shop.lego and showed the counter person. The store manager had no choice but to sell based on the online price.

If you see the receipts below there are two prices stated for each item, the regular and marked up price.

So guys, if you do end up buying stuff from Lego Store in US make sure you have the online store price ready at hand to compare.

Anyway, this most probably all the hauls I will have till end of the year except for some new summer sets which I'm waiting for a good deal to appear. Bought most if not all the sets on my wishlist and I think most of the 2012 released sets hahaha
*
This isn't madness. THIS. IS. SPARTA!

From this moment forth, I declare major hauls to be "Spartan" hauls. Elite. Best of the best! No more tycoon. Tycoon title doesn't seem to fit now. Who's with me? tongue.gif

This means got many Spartans here. Some injected with/drank Super Soldier Serum/Potion! notworthy.gif

I was looking high low left right for funhouse at good price for quite some time liao.... hopefully can get mine soon...
*
Better get Funhouse while you still can. This set is hard to come by now and I believe it was an old Toys R Us exlcusive (from last year?)

I was lucky I got a good deal! One of our bros selling it here.
