No idea, just happen to see this while I was there. Not hunting for it.

PM me if interested. Can COD anytime. Clearing my annual leave now.

Cannot hug. You may crush and devalue it

Yah, then you will have to face the next problem. "Storage and Space management". Under my staircase like mini store room.



Box also cannot throw away. Have to open and flatten as best possible to save space.

Yah ... Dust Collector!

The 10193 in the corner of the pic is an unopened new set. Depends on what you mean by "reasonably priced", I might consider letting go from my collection.

Carefully take it outdoors and use good-ol feather duster and a soft lacquer brush. Cannot wipe as it might scratch or wet towel will leave water marks on the bricks.

Aiyo, cannot compare to your Lego Star Wars collection. By the way, still got any 10223 Kingdom Joust in for sale?

Available at any local hardware store. Rm5 can get.

Really depends on how you approach the situation. Scenario is that ALJ stocks all will have to go one way or the other. If they can sell at 35% off then why bother going down any further. Reason its going to 50% is because lots stocks still lingering, especially for the big city sets.

If they have intention to get rid of it completely, strategy is to probably push it to the bigger resellers like Departmental stores which can commit to large quantity orders. Places like Isetan and Parkson are already pushing out their sets beyond the 20% mark down which is quite rare. Even like BBT have expanded their inventory for this sale period, unfortunately on ALJ terms. Meaning you wont see discounts beyond the 50% mark as resellers need to have some margin else why bother taking stock at all.

We'll see, at this moment I'm personally holding my budget back from impulse buying just because its 50%. Unless it's a set you are "REALLY" targeting for.

Just be ready for 26th~29th Dec. They might throw down beyond 50% but of course pissing off the Resellers and the earlier buyers who shopped earlier but to ALJ who cares! Come 2014 is LEGO Malaysia's problem already not ALJ.

What about Friends Advent? Any left since last night? My nieces so excited following up to your update!

One way my nieces did it was to download the Heartlake City Map from http://friends.lego.com/en-us/downloads/hl...eme/hlc-playmat. It's a double sided map with roads Print it out on padded vinyl where you can roll up. There's a advertisement printing shop on the ground floor at Amcorp mall which can do this. It's cheaper then buying base plates and can roll up when want to put the sets away.

Looks like they replenished. Got like 20 more to go. At Rm65 can't really go wrong, so I picked up 2 sets this afternoon. No Sw or City advents. Everything else seems to be the same selling everywhere else. The 2 largest Friends set available at 35%, no biggie since already bought previously.

Yah, Give you free 200k pcs bricks for free also I wonder what we going to do with it other then Selling and making money from it.

I just pick up a 42008 this afternoon at Brickboys MidValley. Was Rm350 after 30% off, so I figured why not. Put aside until I have sufficient time to put it together.

I have a Technic 9398 4x4 Crawler, I used 6X 2700mAH AA rechargeable NiMh batteries. So far don't seem to drain off the batteries if its powered off. even for the IR controller. Been more then a week, 4x4 still can run.

They will make you wait. 70% on Small Friends and City Sets. Everything else 50% ... if you are lucky. Next 2 weeks. Trick is to make like you don't want it. Then they will drop until you cannot resist.

Is like looking for the other sock in your laundry, you won't find it if you're looking for it.

That's the idea. But probably not. I see everywhere ALJ is pushing out with as much coverage as possible. Saturday I was like in Pavillion, can see lego stand outside Parkson 30% off, Isetan Gardens, Suria KLCC then walked over to Avenue K prices like in Bangsar Village 2.

I think the question is if we're only going to see these few sets going on sale or will there be more? Little by little, like the Advent calender has just been put on shelves. Castle sets, haven't seen any yet. Technics only the smaller sets. Bangsar Village had some Technic Helicopter rescue previously. Hobbits and some first wave LOTR. Brickboy is also sucking up a lot of stocks from ALJ on their terms.

So I guess, will see how much stock can ALJ clear until 29th. As far as I know Brickboys has ordered more and ALJ only release to them in batches. It's a business strategy so keep all of us anticipating for release of more sets and more discount on those currently on sale now.

Thats my gut feel lo. Unless Places like Parkson, Isetan, Brickboys, take more stock. As I know TrU is their biggest stockist of maybe just consignment to widen distribution coverage. Jusco, Metrojaya and the rest don't see them taking anymore stocks from ALJ.

So it's really up what you decide. Me personally, am only getting selected themed sets that I really want at 30-50%. Rest is not priority. As we have seen so far the fools who rushed in to grabbing everything they can afford to buy @ 35% is regretting. Sprinter all KO. Marathon runner have to save some juice to finish the race.
