Guys,

I ordered something from eBay. But the seller gives me two choice - ship with or without box.

With Box is Euro 42 and Without Box is 20.

You guys will go for debox or still go for box?
*
This need a thesis research writing tongue.gif

If tycoon, ship with box.
If collector, ship with box.

But forwarders may damage the box, reach you becomes like run over by alam-flora lorry already, so does the box matter ?

Are you a box-hugger ?

How much is Euro 20 worth to you ?

42 and 20 is the shipping cost ? Depends on the item value also.

If 10179, then ship with quad-layer boxes tongue.gif

Nano haul. Senior Maersk worker (1980) meets Senior Shell worker (1980-1986). With over 50 years between the two seniors, the three Juniors (2011 each) with 6 years totaled-up experience at the back can learn more on replacing the train engine.

how about 10226, 10220 and 10230 that you bought? i saw it in your blog
*
10226 rm300
10220 rm332
10230 rm312

I calculate by x0.4 for simple calculation.
Actual rate is even lower when I was there, about rm0.397 = hkd1

So, organising a trip to HK ? brows.gif

However, to be fair to sellers in M'sia, they have to factor in the cost of logistics, 10% tax and at least some profit margin.
Therefore, I'm very grateful to some bro who do CS, which is nearly non-profitable, and sometimes maybe intangible net-loss also.

Looks like I will be planning a trip there in Nov. Prolly with family so dun think got much luggage space.

If you can accept unboxed, then bring along a big foldable bag. Throw all clothes/less value stuff into it. Padlock if needed.

Otherwise, ask the shops for carton boxes. You bring along masking tape, cling wrap (big roll from Tesco), just check in the entire carton box. Or boxes. But doing that will have risk of KLIA/LCCT Customs stop you

The main problem here is weight, if you just 1-2 person. If more, then can help utilise/share the weight.
Else haul everything into multiple cartons, then goto HK post office tongue.gif

I use the first method, so far, didn't get stop.

Nice! Can I provide some comments ?
1) maybe the white walls too smooth (front & side). Replace a few with those Friend's 1x2 bricks. Then, the building looks more antique with broken plaster wall, which shows the bricks inside. (BL: 98283)

2) Windows - use the older frame type, which can connect panes (BL: 3856)

3) side alley awning - add medium-blue/green colour tiles ? More colourful a bit.

4) Tekan kuat sikit ya ... the upper portion roof / wall, got gaps between bricks/plates tongue.gif

Just my 2 cents ya ... icon_rolleyes.gif

Will definitely unbox. Now dunno what to buy nia.

1) Start making wish list tongue.gif

2) Check all old discontinued , current , new summer sets for the themes you collect.

3) Keep up to date with local price, RRP, prepare summary list and go there to compare with calculator.

TQ. I will hunt for items with "further diskaun".
TQ. I guess the food corner costs about RM100 excluding the house. and most of it is due to shipping cos so many different parts.
*
The problem with buying parts are expensive shipping sweat.gif even when average down. Therefore, I always buy more than needed to stock up, for my Technic builds like pins, connectors, axles, gears, liftarm/beams, etc.

Since I notice you use a lot of reddish-brown, just sapu everything of the same colour laugh.gif

Thanks for feedback. Lots of things can be made better and probably will put it into my next MOC which should be another similar shoplot so i can join them up together. Big headache are the parts. A lot of time i need to use substitude cos the cost is prohibitive, or too many stores to purchase from, or cannot meet min. order amount.

Still thinking about whether the chinese medical hall is a good idea anot cos it look rather plain. if do a modern shop, it kind of lost some magic that i am trying to capture in old malaya.
*
Normally I buy double the qty, or add more items which I think I may use in future to reach minimum order, or weight limit.

I remember your chinese medical hall. Quite detailed and nice. But ... the reddish brown a bit over-whelm, and the interior looks a bit dark/gloomy.
Maybe can replace some with lighter colours ? Tan ? etc.
icon_rolleyes.gif

Agree with you, don't do modern shops/building/architecture. IMHO, not much point doing that, for now.

10219 default does not come with motor set.
Also no tracks.

But it comes with complete instruction on how to motorised it with PF-train motor set.
