QUOTE(bloodghost @ Jul 4 2013, 08:38 PM) Mayb the box made in china? I dun think the block is made in china as they need set up machine for that and they will only finish setup buy 2014 in manufacturing, packaging material is seldom described as a component of assembly.in any case, we wont know what exactly, but my recent new minifigs definitely feel crappier than the previous series. i dont really care where its made but if they start this cost-down game, we will never again enjoy the great quality of lego that can last decades. |

I just love the temple only place this set on a 32x32 tan baseplate, and add on some more greens and dark grey stones. maybe even do a sunken ship half embedded with a few skeletons.I was trying to find just the temple only... it makes a good setting for my Diver set that I had previously that was one of my idea the monsters, figs, vehicle u can sell off separately to unker amcorp... |

QUOTE(hades4eve @ Jul 5 2013, 12:28 PM) Die lor the link here. about RM260 nia.I think it can mod into some Greek Mythology with Spartan and Roman Soldiers... very very nice http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jonadi&itemID=41064812 place on green baseplate. lose the seaweed. add pine trees around. change the gold statue to roman commander, even better sit the commander on the new horse who can raise its legs. the bowl in front of the steps, put fire on it. add some ballista on the sides. you'd need about 12 roman cmf also. get from rickebrick. they got 13 in stock. maybe rm 440 incl shipping.

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jul 6 2013, 01:53 PM) 10226 rm300 Looks like I will be planning a trip there in Nov. Prolly with family so dun think got much luggage space.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 ? 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. |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jul 6 2013, 04:25 PM) If you can accept unboxed, then bring along a big foldable bag. Throw all clothes/less value stuff into it. Padlock if needed. Will definitely unbox. Now dunno what to buy nia.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 I use the first method, so far, didn't get stop. |

QUOTE(501-Elite @ Jul 6 2013, 04:36 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jul 6 2013, 04:39 PM) Nice! Can I provide some comments ? 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.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 Just my 2 cents ya ... 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. |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jul 6 2013, 04:53 PM) 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. ya the colour scheme too dull and i thinking how to spice it up. but u know medical hall, its all wooden drawers for an entire wall. 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. Agree with you, don't do modern shops/building/architecture. IMHO, not much point doing that, for now. might have to scrap the idea, spending too much time reworking it.

Maybe should hold off getting any Police Station sets until a modular version comes out. buy the current one and modularize it wei.what this guy did was great, and nice use of a road baseplate: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |
