yeah...im starting to collect back all the modulars... tongue.gif
Just bought corner cafe for usd350...& green grocer for usd300...(BIB)...
The rest of the modulars will ship together with Parisian... biggrin.gif

When check again with brickpedia & some sellers, technically the market street is different theme altogether.
So, lucky la...if not have to browse everyday to find a good price. It seems that it fell under Factory theme. But the subtheme is the same la...

wow, u got it so cheap shocking.gif
I have been looking for these set since 6 months ago, never found the price as cheap as you got. (usually, USD 600 for green grocer and USD 800 for cafe corner)
Now, I decided to buy brick from bricklink to build my own but even just buy brick is more expensive than the price you got for full set doh.gif
Congrats for your haul rclxms.gif

thanks all for the kind compliments  notworthy.gif

will take more high-res pics to share later  brows.gif
this package takes around 5 weeks to arrive.  doh.gif  the worst was around 2months for first class.

normally i won't file dispute for first class package because i can't track the package and not fair for the seller as well. i only use this for small orders which is less than usd50.

you might want to give german store a try. their registered post is quite cheap. credits goes to one of our senior mr.pang  thumbup.gif

Bro, Thanks for the info.
By the way, do u experience lost for first class package from US? icon_question.gif

I can't say I did thorough research at In's Point as alot of the shops don't display the prices of their big sets. As long as I had savings, I was a happy man.

According to cuteboiboi's blog, he saw the VW Camper van selling for HKD $ 980 at one of the shops in March 2013. If not mistaken, I saw the price selling at Let's Go for HKD $ 930 or $ 940.

Another price comparison that he had, which I also found online:

10197 - Fire Brigade (Sept 2009)
HKD $ 1598.90 (RM 625.50 - Can't remember when I calculated this exchange rate) - HK Toys R Us price
Let's Go (HK) - HKD $ 1,550 = RM 644.80 (21/10/2013)

Haha I bought my VW camper van for HKD900 1 year back brows.gif

Hopefully, the Lego Group will set up something like lego store in US ( lego store website, Lego point, exclusive free gift polybag and free shipping for above certain amount purchases)

Especially for Penang ppl like myself, very hard to find good price for Lego compare to Kl ppl. Some more, need to cost extra money to pay postage and some good KL seller don't do postage......

So, to see what will going on next year by Lego group, I decided to hold my wanted list for 10240, x-wing and 10234 Sydney opera house icon_rolleyes.gif

I think once the existing stocks finish, they will replenish with new sets.
I wanted the Helicopter Rescue but seems like they won't restock anymore, if anyone sees it do let me know!
Only bought this dirt bike set (35%). Had to take lots of antidote man, if not I'd have sapu a lot. City sets are poisonous!  icon_question.gif

plenty of stocks left, but already quite a number of ppl there when I left

better don't share because lego really got high chances get on hold by customs.
Once they found out the cost + shipping is more than Rm500, then U need to pay for 10% tax
