QUOTE(Lego_Jason @ Jul 26 2013, 11:49 PM) Dunno yet... Have to really plan and think it through carefully, don't want to end up with a few hundred pieces of parts that I don't want... Lol! 60026 I think buy with UOB CC at certain shopping malls, get another 5% discount.Anyway, here's a little report from Singapore: 10211 Gran Emporium ~$311 10218 Pet Shop ~$290 10232 Palace Cinema ~$250 10233 Horizon Express ~199 10937 Arkham Asylum ~$300 10228 Haunted House ~$295 60026 Town Square $129.90 (discounted from $179.90) If I'm not wrong there is a set of 10188 Death Star going for $699 or $599 at ToysHunt @ Novena Square. Supposedly promo and cash terms only, no further discount even for members. Saw another set of Death Star at Bricks World @ Ngee Ngan City asking for $899. From the looks of it 60026 is going at a great bargain here in Singapore. Toyshunt has Brickarms parts but prices starts from $5.90 a piece... Gd Night! 10232 palace cinema can get about SGD220, that's why I did not get from my previous HK trip. Wait further, drop further ... |

QUOTE(hades4eve @ Aug 2 2013, 12:04 PM) Daily 10 minutes maintenance 12:00-12:10pm QUOTE(leo730 @ Aug 2 2013, 12:06 PM) Anyone tried customizing their minifigs before? Planning to order some parts in bulk but what is the paper quality to print the decals ar? I'm also looking at printing to clear-transparent sticker.Clear decal paper for the face and white decal for the torso? Want to make a horde of zombs!! Most of the shops I found so far, are A3 white-blank-sticker to print. Not much choice you have, standard gloss sticker paper only. Since we print 1-2 A3 size only. Unless you going bulk like 10k-100k pieces, I think can approach printing factory directly and more options. Also, printer colour matching , is a problem for shops. WYSIWYG is unlikely. |

QUOTE(hades4eve @ Aug 2 2013, 12:26 PM) So far I have not see clear transparent sticker so far.. but what I did see before is high gloss sticker paper from my paper client last time. It depends on each of the printer actually. Different brand and model, will have different colour printout. About printer color matching, if we use Photoshop to print and select using Adobe Photoshop color matching, will it be slightly more "closer" to what is on screen? and the sticker paper also, if it is not pure-white, i.e. pearl white will come out different colour than pure white. |

QUOTE(kaneshiro21 @ Aug 2 2013, 05:26 PM) problem with clear-transparent sticker is that they are using CMYK colours. Which mean that if you stick on dark surface it won't be able to bring out those colours. That's a valid point which I haven't think of yet.So far i couldn't find any shop that can print all full CMYK + White Layer. better explanation [attachmentid=3566852] If CMYK, how does it print white on transparent then ? Let's say I just want a white-logo on a clear-trans sticker. |

QUOTE(kaneshiro21 @ Aug 2 2013, 06:10 PM) i did ask before, they mention that white cannot be printed using CMYK color code. i dont really understand why Yeah. Need overlay with 1-2 layers of white. Then only print colours. Not cheap and need bulk.they did provide another alternative, not sure if i got the term correct. first they need to print the silk layer to get the white then follow another print by the cmyk to for any non white color. this alternative is very pricey and need large volume. |

QUOTE(photoshutterz @ Aug 3 2013, 12:46 PM) Have you ever bought a Set just for the sake of getting the rare part or part(s) that you looking for only from the set, instead of because been attracted by the (whole) Set itself ?? Yes, 42004 for the front bucket to mod 8043Probably non relevant to what you have in mind |

QUOTE(echoesian @ Aug 3 2013, 06:32 PM) Seems like buying overseas the price is almost the same or perhaps a little cheaper compare to buying from the local stores, If with shipping, you have to find 'lobang'. Or camp with tycoons who do CS. Some are underground deals If hand-carry, you can find cheaper in some overseas countries. |

QUOTE(wintzen @ Aug 5 2013, 04:31 PM) Everything is going up mainly because of our Ringgit getting weaker by the day. Unlikely. M'sia SOP for all businesses: Will give other reasons like transport cost increase, warehouse increase, labour increase, difficult hire people, no parking, bird drop from sky, etc. all kind of grand-bull-story I mean GBP still alright since it has been fluctuating between 4.6-5 for the past few weeks. I guess it's good to lay low for a few months until the currency gets better. Just wondering, if retail increase their price because of currency rise, will they decrease the price when it comes down? I doubt it since they already markup the price till 3-5x of US RRP right? Maybe give you sales 10-15% discount only |

I need to see EV3 integration with current PF motors.
I used to own pre-Mindstorm Control Center and Mindstorm 1.5 sets. Both can't integrate. Current add-on PF cables can integrate, but have not really play with it yet. Therefore, EV3 is not in my urgent list. |
