Haha, i go no horse figs

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Holidays, fellow AFOLs!:)

Hi all AFOL,
Wanna ask some questions. Wanna get my hands on this Lego Technic model:

http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Lego-42009-Tech...de02b1ea&_uhb=1

The seller is from USA. The list price on ebay is at about RM780/-

Assuming if the dudes at Custom wanna levy a tax/ import duty, how much would that be?

Also, can i get this model in Malaysia?

The price is not inclusive of shipping costs from US, right? Add another 10% for import duties (10% of the total set price plus shipping costs); and I think you may be able to get better deals from the various local Lego resellers on Lowyat forum and Facebook.....

Just need a bit of effort from your side to go through the Lowyat forum Lego sales threads and also at Brickfan of Malaysia Facebook. In short, don't be penny-wise and dollar-foolish....

Just my 2 cents opinion....

You still can get this set in malaysia, BBT still got stock but I did not remember the price. I am guessing the postage will be around RM250++ if you buy from US ebay seller. To be safe better buy from Malaysia Reseller, less the hassle and price will be not much different.

Hi - just to chip in - actually, i am from Penang Island. Just wanna ask - where is BBT?

BBT - Brickboy Toy, Lego reseller shop in KL. Got branch in Garden and Tropicana.

hi u can still find this locally..just the search the lego model number here in lowyat sales..u can sure find a good price..

BBT = Brick Boys Toys ..lego specific shop..2 outlets..1 in Gardens mid valley and 1 in tropicana mall damansara..

Yesterday haul in parkson..

i was quite surprise on the price because RRP i think is RM99.90..

then i tought maybe parkson got sale/discount..

then realized the price tag was meant for other set..31005

Parkson always got messed up their price tag. Sometime the price shown is different from the barcode. However it is not a problem because they will always follow the price shown. Good haul

Hi all
Just chance upon this fantastic thread for Lego Technic. Apparently, Lego is considered premium toys here in Malaysia - hence, it does have a very niche market and an equally small fan base.
Anyway, I have this lego technic 8479 (dating back to 1997).
http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?yea...7&theme=technic

Have kept it for ages - survived many years in the box.

There is a big difference between older sets compared to the newer ones. Older sets emphasized alot on the bricks to create the form factor whilst newer ones uses more pins.

Anyway, wanna restore this set - lost the motor and the wiring and stuff. Where can i find parts?

only this place www.bricklink.com

Ohhh - so, we just input the part numbers and search for availability? or we need to buy the entire set???

Vintage set anyway Bricklink is your best and only place to buy lego part.

Haha..parkson is good but the set available is quite limited.

u can buy only the parts also..

u need to explore and understand..

but if u have specific parts, just mention here..

got a lot of people can help

example chaud ..he has a BL store

you can probably look for your set under 'Catalog Items' and then check your set's inventory. from there you can identify what parts are missing then select stores that have them for sale.

Need some time to familiarize with the system, if got problem they are always a lot of expert here can help
