Thanks. There's 3 skulls.

Thanks! I had been looking for ideas on how to display my mini figs. This looks really great! I guess it's a trip to Ikea this weekend  Found this on the website after seeing your post. http://www.instructables.com/id/IKEA-LEGO-...-Case/?ALLSTEPS Is it the same as the one you used?

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Oct 30 2013, 02:32 PM) However, it maybe problem to source in Malaysia (and expensive). You can try source from SG or other countries, through the education line, and not the retail/commercial line. So far the only place that I saw this was in the KLIA terminal (inside the local departure) with all the other Lego sets  QUOTE(leo730 @ Oct 30 2013, 02:33 PM) yup, 2X2 white bricks. Coz it blends in perfectly well with the white art card. I use the art card so that it can withstand the weight of the bricks (& minifigs) when glued on.  Thanks. Now I have a mini project to for me to do

QUOTE(jwrx @ Oct 30 2013, 03:28 PM) everything you need, is in the ribba frame itself, i didnt need to buy any artcard/panels etc, no cutting involved, if you make the same size as the one i posted. For the bigger ones as per your link, yes you will need to build the supports its just my personal taste, but using stuck on lego bricks look really horrible to me, it hurts my eyes. i like it to look uniform, hence the straight shelve, instead of individual lego bricks (also, u can play around with putting more or less minifigs, but if you stick the bricks on, u are stuck with that configuration) Hmmm... i guess i have to go see what are the frames available. Thanks for the tips!

QUOTE(zemperor @ Nov 2 2013, 12:26 PM) wow that's 41001 Mia's Magic Tricks and 41002 Emma's Karate Class, right? still have a lot of stocks? Yup! They are going for 35% discount. There were still a lot of sets when I left (around 15 each). But then the crowd was getting bigger and Im not sure if they have any extra stocks that are not on display.

QUOTE(zemperor @ Nov 2 2013, 12:47 PM) wow quite tempting should i go there now  is the discount still available tomorrow? If I'm not mistaken its until the 10th. Personally, I'd suggest to go there today if there is something specific you are looking for. Otherwise, it might be out of stock since they are going for 35%

QUOTE(Bigfoot-X @ Nov 3 2013, 02:14 PM) Interesting and heard rumours before that The LEGO Group will start distribution. Perhaps that's the reason for all the sales recently - Clear stocks from warehouse and recover as much as possible. If it's true, maybe there will be sales all the way until early 2014? Empire is just the first site, maybe sales in other malls coming soon if ALJ see there's good response?  Hmm if Lego Group is distributing, would that mean that we get to enjoy the exclusive gifts as well?
