IMHO what's more important is the seller.... Sometimes a "used" part is in better condition than a "new" part simply because of the way the seller handled and store the parts. If the seller dumped all the mixed parts together they will all get scratched so the new parts will not be perfect and shiny when it reaches you. And a "used" part where it was only built once and then dismantled for storage (and stored in proper sorting bins) will probably look as good as new too.

So how to find good reliable sellers? Well, the hard way is to learn from experience. The easy way is get recommendations from fellow LYN and BOMers.

Light sabre no match!

Yummy haul!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I gotta work too...

Nice! Pls spam some photos tomorrow!

Good afternoon AFOLs! It's Tuesday but feels like a Monday eventhough I had to work yesterday.... Can't get any better, get the Monday blues on two consecutive days! lol!

Yeah, I only find Town Square cheap. Others are only a little cheaper than the reseller's pricing here so not worth the trouble to haul big boxes back...



I'm afraid it is not going to happen. 41999 is a limited edition run of 20k sets, all snapped up already and now if you want it you have to pay a hefty premium in the secondary market...

Congrats bro! Wah! Your set number 18k +, almost the end... haha!

From my scouting mission looks like every major retailer is selling it at that price. It is a promotional item so don't know how long they will keep it at that.

Dunno, have yet to find time to open my set...

All the big deals are done behind closed doors.

Haha! You're welcomed! Make sure you purged it completely from your thoughts otherwise it will quietly creep into your sub-conscience and slowly poison you into buying it...

I only know 7965 Millenium Falcon is going EOL. Well, I was told that earlier this year anyway but I still see it being sold online so maybe it is ending soon or mis-reported...

Wow! Nice collection!!

Is the cargo plane the same size as the blue passenger plane on the left? May I know the set number of the blue plane? Thanks!

Gd morning and congrats on the nice number! Fast fast go buy 4D!

So far see everybody's number 18***, how fast must you be to get in the top 10k?

Most likely selling at RRP, at best give 10% discount like BBT. Doubt gonna be cheap as the rental isn't.... Anyway, I think their target market are all the richbies and mat salleh who patronises the mall, not hardcore AFOLs who knows where to find cheap sets.

It's a simple matter of perspective... For taikun with big house "little" means can fill up a medium sized condo or terrace house already.

I have to agree, ALJ sucks at bringing in Lego Exclusives to our market. So this is either a parallel importer or ALJ themselves...

OMG!! I was always under the impression all key chains are priced at RM19.95. So which key chains are priced at RM24.95? Star Wars?

If owned by TLG then we would have heard of it in Brickset, the interior design of the shop is definitely not complying to TLG's boutique standard.

Thanks bro for clarifying!

Eh? You too much la... small set like this still want numbered bags? Spoil la you!

If RM450 including postage then it is a good deal. I think local pricing will be around RM500... Just a guess.

Wah! Thank you for the picture spam! Something for us to drool over the weekend!

Looks like you didn't make any impact on the Iron Man polybags, still have lots of it... haha!

Anyway, may I ask if you spotted any Fall Scene polybag? If yes can share the price?

I second that.

Thanks for sharing, good to know I got my advent calenders at a good price.

Oh.... I didn't know so many are after this, let me try to check. What is the price in LLM or reseller's price?

Ok, I sent the inquiry already. Don't see it in my list... Will update if have news. Have a great weekend everyone!

HK?

Wah! Well spotted!!

Anyway, I checked for the Rock Band set 850486 and it is no longer available.... Looks like it is going to be difficult to find this one. Sorry guys.

Take out 2 extra pieces and will become 2011 version liao...

Any prize for guessing it right?

Welcome and pls share some photos!

Another taikun hunting retired sets!

I personally don't see anything new there, looked like new packing for bunch of commonly found minifigs...

If RM599 I also join the queue on pre-opening night! Like what Uncle Kenny said, what are the chances since it is either affiliated or sourced from ALJ?

Wow! Thanks for the picture spam!
Looks like Japan is a better place than Hong Kong! The vending machines are cool and so typical of Japan!

Slowly savouring it heh?

Lunch time!

Who's getting this?


10241 Maersk Line Triple-E container ship

Populating my 2014 shopping list...

Wah! Another taikun with $$$ to burn! Even RM1k I cannot get myself to pull the trigger, guess that's why I'm not a big SW fan!

Haha! Maybe or maybe not going to do bulk order... My source is not so good anymore... I'm a sucker for Maersk Blue bricks so anything in that colour I will get!

Trying to spread the poison...

I'm hoping for printed bricks but most likely that's not going to happen. My Maersk Train also lots of stickers and I have to say those transparent backed stickers are very hard to apply as you tend to get your finger prints on them.

Oops! Sorry for the double post!

Yes you are right! I just read it and am disappointed with the news...
