QUOTE(goldfries @ Aug 9 2013, 08:36 AM)  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151685573774016 Posted this a few days ago on Facebook. Sick la some adults. These Lego minifig packets are the aftermath a person's inconsiderate actions. I suspect this individual was looking for the much sought after Mr Gold. The sad part was that he was pressing the packets in such a detailed and rough manner that the packets are now in terrible shape, and to make things worse, he just left it as such. Didn't even bother to put them back in place. Why was I there? I was looking for the paintball character. spent just a few minutes there and put the packets back into place. All in all, I am disappointed to see such inconsiderate practice even when it comes to toy collection.   QUOTE(zemperor @ Aug 11 2013, 07:39 PM) BTW, just finish my mobile crane MKII this holiday... my first set that unable to complete in 1 day... spoiler-ception...lollet me share some pictures that i take this morning (haven't apply stickers yet) personally, i'm prefer the hook to be in one piece of metal, just like those old sets but i don't think it's possible with this size... and there are "sound of doom" or sound like somethings gonna broken when raise or lower the crane part to maximum point... took me 2 days to complete (about 13-15 hours) even i'm follow the instruction, only open the packages that's require instead of open all at once... (normally i will open all at once and search through all the parts and this is my first set to use this method and i found it not bad actually... reduce the chances of wrong parts) probably take me longer time if i apply stickers as well... first thing that surprise me when i open the box - the wheel... it's really bigger than I had anticipated although there is picture show 1:1 of wheel size but it really surprise me when i take it out from the box and it not only 10 rubber wheels in MKII  i'm sure it can be seen in my pictures u all already got your stage coach...i'm still thinking to get or not... QUOTE(Bigfoot-X @ Aug 12 2013, 08:33 AM) For those not in BOM, found this old treasure when I was cleaning out my store room. Probably only my 2nd Star Wars set. Kinda like the design of this Jedi Starfighter. nice treasure u got there...The other small box is a Medicom Kubrick Jedi Luke Skywalker. Both not MIB » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « u make me go BL n check for the pricing for the SW set.. haha QUOTE(vey99 @ Aug 12 2013, 12:10 PM) i ordered an envelope of lego parts from canada. i think need 2-3 months to reach here....its been around 2+ months liao, still not arrive who the heck wanna steal a few loose pieces, only value item is a blue classic spaceman  be patient. dont worry. QUOTE(Bigfoot-X @ Aug 12 2013, 01:13 PM) Wah. All big hauls coming out. Nice. tell me more about this master builder academy...You also got Modulars? Just saw a pre order on FB for 20214 Master Builder Academy - Adventure Builder.

QUOTE(zemperor @ Aug 12 2013, 02:00 PM) thanks for the info. It's easy to know. Fully extend it. Touch your finger onto the side of each LA, both should have the same firmness. If one is firm, another wobble slightly, it's not balance. so it means one of the LA will be slightly longer than another one when fully raise  does it mean it will damage the LA if always raise and lower? will it damage also if keep in lowest position... actually i also know this and test it before put the crane on it but i can't see the difference... i just simply put one long 'batang' and raise it or lower it Fully minimize it (no vertical force impact for 42009, but there is for 8043), do the same, see if both firm, or only one is firm. What it means while extending fully in operation, it is using only 1x LA power, the other is no-load. i.e. might as well take out the other LA to mod other stuff. Refer some dismantle pics here Using single LA, with repeated up/down, may strain it and the metal cylinder 'screw' will start to "cut" into the plastic housing it, even with lubricants. So far I have not hit into this ... yet. I test my 8043 with bucket lifting load of up to 250gm (yeah, I weight the load dumped by the bucket with a scale) and it sounds a bit strain to lift up the boom. Digging at higher load "in the ground", I estimate at 400-500gm, it starts to grind. Not yet build 42009, but I expect the double LA issue, and I will build the gears parallel instead of opposite. Also, by keeping the crane boom in down position, I guess no damage will occur, as it will rest on top of the front driver's cab. |

Hi, need some opinion on Lego minifigures series, I have collected from series 1-10, tho I start to feel the tedious of following the series, so maybe I will let the whole collection go?
I was in part of a 3man gang for the Series, so we buy a box when a new series come out, then we do the manual thing to set our portion aside, if there is sometimes 2 figure issue, we buy extra to make up for 3man gang. All my figures still in bag and not open(all 10 series) + extras, not sure if anybody is interested in this since the whole collection will cost a bomb to begin with, I don't have the cardboard box, only the figures still in packets. Lego is still churning out the series at a rapid pace, and I felt can't keep up. Problem for me: continue or not continue? if sell, got ppl want? how much will be the price? |

They might just re-release with more minifigs and some upgraded parts and a new price tag.QUOTE(heaven @ Aug 12 2013, 04:10 PM) Hi, need some opinion on Lego minifigures series, I have collected from series 1-10, tho I start to feel the tedious of following the series, so maybe I will let the whole collection go? If you have already collected all 10 and still have the cash to go on (provided you don't collect any other theme) then why not continue? But if you do plan to let go, definitely there will always be people wanting them especially new collectors. I for one don't mind to get the older series from you if the price is right I was in part of a 3man gang for the Series, so we buy a box when a new series come out, then we do the manual thing to set our portion aside, if there is sometimes 2 figure issue, we buy extra to make up for 3man gang.
