QUOTE(aba9785 @ Aug 20 2013, 02:53 PM) reporting in for new thread... Thanks but take your time bro, I'm saving up for Christmas haul already... let me reserve for others  not sure..let me ask them later   Maybe next year I will buy it as an extra set to keep, hoping to get a MISB set.

I thought they were some special collector's boxes!   QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 20 2013, 03:10 PM) Woo... new chapter. Had a quick look at BL database and it seemed to be made up of common parts except for the panels' colour which is unique to this model. Again, the box is unique! haha! #41999 does it contain rare parts ? Perhaps much cheaper to buy parts and mod 9398 ?  |

QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Aug 20 2013, 03:54 PM) Congrats on the new V... Wow! On hindsight it was the right move, look at the prices now! Lego_Jason I wish it would be easily RM900... My own set is almost RM900 at cost. The forummers insist me in bringing it in if i could find it at Amazon or ebay. I manage to find it USD300 to USD350 at Amazon on the day it sold out and bite the bullet... That USD300 still not included shipping & tax. To make even worse, that day the rate was all time high for me of 3.45 (Amex)... I'm sure those forummers will thank you for that!  How many sets you ordered? I reckon the population of 41999 in Malaysia will not exceed 50 sets unless you managed to bulk order this. Actually, I managed to order this for myself. Have to pull a really big favour from USA and my estimated cost landed in Malaysia will be around RM1.1k...  QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 20 2013, 03:54 PM) Panel maybe can use other colours, depending on preferences, after all, can own mod based on it. Hmmm... It is pretty much a 9398 with a different skin so I suspect those who bought it are attracted by the colour scheme and slightly updated design... Also, the newer-batch panels have extra holes, depending on the build if can replace with older-batch panels. Except for box-hugger, collector's or to resell later, I don't think I will get this limited-edition if the price is way too high like >RM1k. Playability is the same as 9398, except different top-cover and slight changes. Dark blue parts are always rare in Lego... I was never attracted to the 9398 crawler, hated the colour! lol! 41999 appealed to me and the clincher was the box, it is very cool! I'm not a box hugger but always appreciate pretty boxes. QUOTE(tanghm @ Aug 20 2013, 03:58 PM) Gosh, was self poisoning looking at restocked modulars at bbastion and now you posted mini modular pic. Looks like the mini slipped under your radar and hit you at the most vulnerable spot, you are defenseless against this! Antidote cannot help you anymore... Where is my antidote ?? |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 20 2013, 04:14 PM) Yeah, those who doesn't have 9398 yet, 41999 is a good choice. Agree, those who owned 9398 need to think twice but those who don't have it already 41999 is definitely the one to go for (putting aside the current price Those who do, need to think twice, unless got unlimited money cheat code  )QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Aug 20 2013, 04:16 PM) Not many la...Because it seems plenty of people saying the 9398 its just the same-ish. lol! Yeah the box sealed the deal for me! It looked so expensive. I hate the 9398 as well. But just look at the box, the stripe & color ! RM1.1k sounds right for the initial cost. Plus, the trouble that we go through to get that set... I forgot to mention the favour I pulled isn't free, have to "bribe" the person. haha! |

QUOTE(mryellow19 @ Aug 21 2013, 02:03 PM) Lol nice set there. A lot of people will be jealous of you cause the price for this set here is expensive. Mind sharing how much you got this for? Wah!! Hot off the press! Fast fast grab it! Local RRP for Tower Bridge is RM999 and should be available in Legoland Malaysia if you have friends in Johor. Or we got a seller here in garage sales selling for RM970 and he is in KL. You can PM him also if you can't wait for that set. Calling brickitect Whoever wants MKII, grab it fast https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2931027  QUOTE(cruiseantz @ Aug 21 2013, 02:04 PM) this just came in....gonna make my self busy tonight lol! It will only keep you busy for 30mins...  Congrats on hauling this, not easy to get initially but slowly the stock is coming... This post has been edited by Lego_Jason: Aug 21 2013, 02:12 PM |

QUOTE(mavericksam @ Aug 22 2013, 08:15 PM) Anyone can lead me to where I can find loose bricks? Try Marcus. His BrickLink store is Marcky's Junkyard: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=marckyHe also make appearances here in the forum especially when his name is mention. Summoning Marcus! QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 22 2013, 10:41 PM) yeah, will improvise Technic builds like what you did. Let me know if you guys need the XL motor. I can dump in a few in my next order...  4958 I'm not that sure. 8275 is expensive, I think RM1k or higher. I BL the parts for my build and it's not cheap either. XL motor can buy separately Lego S@H also got. Remote control also.Only the L-motor and Servo-motor not available in parts, unless BL it. I got my XL motor more than half year ago. Not sure current price and our RM weakening  I may need another 3-5 XL motor for my plan/mod    QUOTE(scoop7 @ Aug 23 2013, 12:06 AM) Shipment 1 arrived today. Police station is big Congrats!

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Aug 23 2013, 02:14 PM) ehya ? great. PM me the price when you calculate for next order Give me time, very busy with work but will think of this when I plan my next order. kamsiah QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Aug 23 2013, 02:36 PM) Whats the price of the XL motor? Didn't plan to order but just offered to help get it since it is small and would not take up much space in the shipping box... I just bought this morning ! Worst case i need to buy more stuff just to balance out the price of the shipment... If i knew you gonna order, I would ask 1st... QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Aug 23 2013, 03:39 PM) Alamak..really?? lol! When i saw the #41999 comes with L motor, i thought i can just swap it with XL..i need more power ! ..and i always assume if buy XL motor, you need to buy that battery box.... *will read more review now...

QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Sep 5 2013, 08:51 PM) Up till now, i still dont have that brown box !!! Really?!? Congrats...that set is awesome !  I'm shocked to hear that! I can spare you one brown box if you like... Probably not going to help much given the number of sets you have! QUOTE(Mr. Alby @ Sep 5 2013, 08:55 PM) After this I will be more discreet like Mr Digi in buying sets .. I feel your frustration bro.... All kinds of people in this world and they wouldn't hesitate to jump to another deal that is RM10 cheaper...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. QUOTE(rayz2003 @ Sep 5 2013, 09:17 PM) Yeah.. Finally! Wow! You took a day off to build ah? congrats on a lovely build! QUOTE(hades4eve @ Sep 5 2013, 09:51 PM) Btw, I tampal a bit your petrol $$ because you took a big turn for the trouble to send my Pet Shop to my work place Paiseh... Huh? You paid me more? I didn't realised that... Now I'm Paiseh!! As Lego_Jason see he still got any brown box for you or not Wow, I was wanted to get Ewok but now no budget... sustaining my business now also merely surviving... but still have few sets to go after before I call it a "NEW YEAR RESOLUTION".. wakakkakaa Of coz you can I got a bigger list actually... but has to be cut down because bad exchange rate...

Gd morning AFOLs!
QUOTE(daydreaming @ Sep 13 2013, 08:44 AM) morning folks, Shouldn't be a problem bro. I was informed by my supplier that all EV3 language versions are exactly the same except for the detachable sleeve which carries some language specific text. And then TLG price them differently for different language versions where it is essentially the same box.... Currently the cheapest EV3 version is French followed by German. Hope this helps! got my mindstorm EV3...and realized the cover is in french. hahaha. cham lo this time. anyone know if the manual is in French as well? There is also another version which is the EV3 core set. I didn't go further to investigate the difference between the core set and retail set but I believe core set is under Lego Education series.... |

QUOTE(scoop7 @ Sep 13 2013, 10:57 AM) you mean your suppliers don't use these boxes to send to you? I have quite a lot of brown boxes, gave most of them away to peeps who bought more than one set...i've been getting these types few times QUOTE(cruiseantz @ Sep 13 2013, 12:13 PM) all previous P.O fulfilled ....never expected 50 packs bought already "out of stock" hahahahahah. Big thanks to bro lego_jason for the financial assistant for this round of CS. What did I do? QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Sep 13 2013, 12:28 PM) Yeah, I also waiting for more info and pics. Same here, my 42009 still MISB! lol! Very busy recently, will be away from home until Oct. No time to touch Lego or the boxes ... but good to find more moolah for Lego. D@mn ... so close and yet so far ... transiting at Charles De Gaulle 2E & 2F Yeah, core is the education series. p.s. I still not yet open 42009  QUOTE(cruiseantz @ Sep 13 2013, 01:06 PM) bro hyde013 ryucando hope is still there...No worries. LLM is not that far, but the cash is Don't give up hope, maybe some peeps might ffk and there will be extras for late comers.... QUOTE(bloodghost @ Sep 13 2013, 02:17 PM) thanks, my concern is i'm not able to get all MOC part from 1 seller, i afraid that need to order from too many sellers.. I'd say from experience that you will have to order from several sources, it is quite rare that one store will have everything you need unless it is very small quantity of parts you need... |
