personally, my next project to keep me busy, hunt & built Tumbler Mark 2 (by Artifex). Thanks kaneshiro21 for the heads up thumbup.gif

Past project (hunt & build):
1) 10179 - fail miserably huhuhu
2) Ironman hall of Armour - Success!
3) Tumbler Mark 2 (by Artifex) - Hunting in progress

Bro cruiseantz, don't give up on project #1, where there's a will (and some fruits from money tree), there's a way. thumbup.gif

I think with the sets you have for harvesting, 10179 is just a few BL clicks away... whistling.gif

come on, must be below 1440, price after 10% disc from retail price

Haha, patience is the key here. Wait a while and the price will come down. This set is still new and demand definitely exceeds supply. Simple economics. Plus there's a premium to pay to get one's hands on anything new to "show off" smile.gif

Looking at this is making me drool.gif for my set which has landed in the country but still stuck somewhere... cry.gif

After this I will be more discreet like Mr Digi in buying sets .. whistling.gif
I kinda fed up with people ffk when order sets to me although I already gave my estimation & I already warn regarding the exchange rate.
Now Im stuck with some Ewoks playing around the Sydney Opera House in my room.
That guy thought Im doing this as a part time job or something.

Wow! Beware the wrath of an angry taikun. I wouldn't want to be the FFK'er. sweat.gif
No worries bro, I'm sure other taikuns here will soon snap up the remaining sets. Lots of money trees bearing fruits soon... thumbup.gif

WOWOWOWOW! A sight to behold... I'm so jealous! drool.gif You must be among the first in Malaysia to build this set. notworthy.gif

Lego rises to No 2 in toy market, thanks to Asia
September 06, 2013
Latest Update: September 06, 2013 06:36 pm

Danish toy maker Lego said it planned to focus more on Asia after the continent proved to be the fastest-growing region for sales in the first half.

Lego, the world’s No 2 player in the toy market by sales after Barbie maker Mattel from The United States, increased sales by 13% in the first six months of 2013.

Sales growth in Asia was 35% - far ahead of the 4% rises in both North America, its biggest market, and Latin America, and the 8% increase in Europe

“Asia has not been a major focus for us as a company up until this point, but we see now with the emerging middle class, more and more consumers that are really interested in our...products,” Chief Financial Officer John Goodwin said in an interview with Reuters
*
This report just confirms what we Asian AFOLs have known for some time - that there's a huge demand for Lego in this region. It's just a matter of time before TLG opens stores and sells online to this region. Let's hope Malaysia will not be left out. As for prices, we'll have to wait and see as Lego is an import and a lot will depend on our Ringgit strength. Malaysia boleh! thumbup.gif

LLM not consider run by TLG?

Legoland theme parks are majority owned by Merlin Entertainment. TLG sold off their theme parks in mid-2000's when they almost became bankrupt and streamlined their business.

This is an interesting article about TLG's turnaround. Can you imagine if TLG never survived and there was no more new Lego sets being produced since then? What would the AFOLs and taikuns be playing with instead... Megabloks? laugh.gif

How to judge the value of the lego set? Whether it is going to be popular..or worth to buy and keep hmm.gif

Instinct! laugh.gif thumbup.gif whistling.gif

Actually, you can pick up a lot of useful insights just by reading this forum, BOM or other Lego fan sites to see what AFOLs are talking about.

Weak Ringgit won't affect taikuns, they probably concentrating on hauling Hot Toys, Sideshow, or more expensive big boys toys. whistling.gif tongue.gif

This was a Cuusoo project that achieved 10k votes and reviewed but not passed for production. I think it was before Lone Ranger theme came out, so it would have clashed with the Colby City set? Too bad... sad.gif
