It's not all doom and gloom la. Lucas showed us that there's a new hope. It's the Sith that strike back. Didn't Vader redeem himself at the end? Even though he had red (and yellow eyes) and went all emo and all...?

Go watch thephantommenaceattackoftheclonesrevengeofthesithanewhopetheempirestrikesbackreturnofthejedi during the Christmas holidays. Hopefully you see the light in others.

Heck, even Magneto and Prof X could be friends.

After only 6 series only redeem. Many already died and fallen for the interest of Master, Father and Son. Entire Jedi council all destroyed, alliance and rebel forces dead.

Magneto and Prof X has always been friends, just that their principals and outlook towards humanity are different. Thus the approach to handle situations are different.

This is a collecting community. There will be time where stocks are less bcos of promo time. So normal there is fight for it.

We feel happy for those that gets it, and for those who didn't, lets wait for next round. With thing s are going with alj, there might be more discount. Take police station for example.

Pls refrain from commenting about the taikuns here unless u have personally met them. I know a few that will take trouble to buy sets with their own money, drive down during rush hour to secure sets for other collectors with no extra charge.

From collecting we meet new friends and that's how your interest grew stronger. If u need help with securing some sets, there are plenty here that is available to help. U be surprise.

Well, it all depends on how you see the glass. Whether it's half full or half empty.

Sometimes people need to start with Chima first. If SW is too much to handle.

Peace, bro.

True chima collectors are the happiest. Plenty of stocks, no ppl to fight over. With the most discounts.

Great advise  laugh.gif

Point taken. nod.gif That's why there is no Taikuns in the Chima world.

It's all marketing. No point stacking up 50 sets at one time. Else taikuns will not rush to grab the stock at 50%. rclxms.gif Bet you won't see 50%+10% happening like on the Speedorz for LR and SW advent.

Sorry but i dont know whats the RRP and AK discount is 50%?

I got just one set from BVII for Rm130 less 35%. Not sure about AK but I don't recall it every went down to 50% before it sold out completely at both sites. What I was interested is the little catamaran that came with the set. Put that together with the rest of me city beach side collection.

Hi. You might want to try to look for a shop that's selling lego in Komtar. If I remember correctly, it's on the highest floor. Bought my spiders there last time at a much lower than retail price. It might come back to the same thing if you get it there after you factor in the postage costs.
*
Yah, thats very true, unless you buy more sets then can justify the postage cost.

Wait till the last few days. The promoters are alj ppl. If all of us go down one shot and grab stuff, they won't bring out more goodies. The reason they brought out the trains set is bcos sales has slow down. It's just to boost the sales in getting more ppl there.

We can wait, they can't. smile.gif

Yah, Gardens and BVII convenient for me because I live Bangsar. Hard to justify rushing to get to AK with the other just for one set. Parking is not cheap and LRT not convenient if hand carry the 70705 or 70709.

Anyway, I bought from BBT a 42006 and 3 sets 6914 T-Rex to build the 3 dinos all was 30% off.

thanks bro chew_loong,

gardens bbt.
helms deep 30% abt 20 +/- boxes
orc forge 30% about 20 boxes
42000 technic grand prix 30% 20boxes.. previously 40% =(
42006 excavator 30%
passenger train 30% about 5boxes
no restock for 42008

also saw many boxes of haunted house in the room at the door behind the cashier.. are they going to dump the price b4 xmas hmm.gif

not sure bout SW and galaxy immune!! don't want to look. hehe
the rest was pretty the same.
*
Nope, I asked already. As long you see the exclusive 10xxx sets will NEVER dump. At best price is only comparable to LLM sale on Monster Fighter sets or any of the exclusive sets.

Anyway, not all 10xxx sets is expensive compared to those FB resellers. Eg. SRP 10937 Rm700, 10232 Rm650, 10233 Rm450 after members discount 10%, so far I have not seen any FB local online sellers willing to match their price. Even 10229 is around Rm450 after 10% disc.

ALJ is selling direct to consumer but still discount like Toysrus in BV2....sigh... anyway will try my luck this noon wif my kid.
Tks for the update bro.

How they expect resellers to take stock if they themselves sell lower then their resellers? Anyway good move to keep the taikun from grabbing 11 sets at one time away until everyone else get a share of the moderate discounts on the hot sets.
