Self praise hahahaha

Haha laugh.gif its typical in this world nowadays... but before I buy anything, I would see who leave what feedbacks, at least a reference check from a high reputable buyer is required (I mean a few).

Don't worry if you using paypal thumbup.gif because you are covered by Paypal. As if you were using Direct Bank Transfer, I'm sure it is difficult to get refund as you need to go do police report, then go to bank and all those hassle tasks sweat.gif . Therefore, always pay using Paypal - Your trusted payment gateway. nod.gif

Yeah it is quite safe with PayPal, downside is you have to pay higher Forex rates... sad.gif I just paid for another lot of my toys and when I worked backwards effectively the Ringgit-Euro exchange rate I paid was 4.36!!! cry.gif

Just have to think of it as insurance cost... If not very hard to swallow... rclxub.gif

With bank transfer I doubt you will have great success in recovering your money. First of all the bank will not be responsible, and then the police report is not going to frighten overseas crooks. (as if Interpol is going to look into your case...)
*
Yes, I agreed on paying of the higher exchange rate is a pain in our *toot*.

Well, police report and report to bank only works if the seller is in Malaysia. If it is international bank transfer, I doubt we will get our money back. Therefore, always buy from a trusted seller like Lego_Jason

Share a story with you guys, I have Barclays bank account in UK, therefore I'm able to buy from UK (sort of cheaper by bit). There were once a seller cheat on the transaction and attempted to run away with my money, I reported to Barclays, and file a fraud report and I get my money back rclxm9.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

Haha! Thanks bro but this seller close shop liao... notworthy.gif

Only taikuns have overseas bank account. notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

If I open Barclays account with RM1k end up with only GBP200, dunno whether to spend it on food, hotel or just buy Lego and beg on the streets... doh.gif
*
Me no taikuns smile.gif I just have running business there, therefore I need to have a local bank there to receive fund.

You will be surprise how cheap is the food (if you ain't a picky eater). 2 Pounds for a big of Tesco Sandwich + Drinks + Chips. Fulfilling and satisfying wink.gif

I tot you have modular shipment? hmm.gif Bo jio again? cry.gif

QUOTE(bloodghost @ Jul 17 2013, 04:49 PM)
if seller intend to cheat they can withdraw all money from their account can cancel all source of fund right? I read that some buyer fail to recover or only recover partially due to the seller inssuficient fund
*
I'm not sure about cancelling account and withdraw all the money. But through experience, either by small scale seller or large scale seller, I managed to get 100% full amount so far. Maybe Lego_Jason can share some experience if he has variant? I think maybe will be in full amount, since Paypal act like a Credit Card link to Credit Card kind of service than an Account to Account stuff... because any time I have a refund, it goes directly to my credit card.

When I look at the BTTF car in CUUSOO, it looks rather nice actually smile.gif But when I see TLG make them to production... I was like shocking.gif ... Kinda disappointed and hoping TLG can just manufacture what is the MOC actually are..

I think if use 1-design of stand would be better, at least it applies to all and look neater. I like the stand on Superman.

I think Arkham still selling like hot cakes. Don't see it anywhere.  Even the one with the slightly damaged box at 1U TRU no longer on display. Maybe it got put back into storage to make way for the new sets to be displayed.

Just back from Tropicana Mall. Brickboy Toys have 5 boxes of Haunted House and 1 Town Hall on the shelf.
*
How much is the Town Hall? Was planning to get a Town Hall... sad.gif But the price... haiz...

Sorry, what are "taiwan mia guns"?

Already bought some stuff from him. Hope to get it within the next couple of days. I'm looking for the M41A assault rifle but he doesn't have it.

Seen Brickarms weapon packs. Saw one of the Singaporean sites selling some. They don't gave the assault rifle I want in the packs.
Unless someone got nice prices.

You poisoned by Modulars now?

Hahahaha laugh.gif I was wanted to either get Palace Cinema or either Town Hall... but after I consider my Winter Village set, I need something to go with it, therefore, I wanted to get a Town Hall to go with it.

Town Hall will still be a while before EOL since Fire Brigade EOL is only this year. Still can slowly look for it. But once you start with one modular, you'll be sure to want the rest. And I'm sure somehow you will soon end up with GG, CC and MS ahahaha

*Taking drugs, injecting anti-venom, injecting antibiotic* flex.gif I try not to go into modular... but hopefully it dun grow, else my piggy bank I kena pecah edi :LP

Town Hall is havent EOL but the price already soar up so high sad.gif

Town Hall price is high because the box heavier and bigger than the other modulars. By far, I think Palace Cinema has the lightest box. If you do decide to enter modulars, I would strongly advise you to start with the soon to be EOL Fire Brigade before the price goes sky high hahaha
*
Wow... chasing after Modular is a challenge for me, normally how long will the modular coming out? once every 6 months?
