Went to Hamley's for the first time since it's opening at 1U.
Of course cannot compare to the one in London but some interesting stuff for sale. Was especially lured by the Designer Board Games.
They also have a LEGO section there - most interesting item were the LOTR Pirate Ship and the Star Wars Millenium Falcon. But of course the MF price was RM 989.90 so I guess it's safe to say who's the distributor is (although I forgot to check).
Only recently got back into it .. from chiildhood days when SG$ and RM was 1:1. Imagine how many eons was that. Anyway technically only got back to it since July 2013. POTC has long been gone since and I suppose many sets before. That's why don't plan to go into Star Wars. To many sets in the series and goes too far back to the 90s.
Anyway, latest collection count after all the sales and clearance.
wow! massive collection! whats bring u back to LEGO?

Believe or not, most of it are displayed. Put away are my 4 train sets and all the train tracks that comes with it, not counting the LR Train. Ohh, and all the winter sets not assembled. Kinda missed putting the Christmas sets out as I was on the hunt for the 10173 Holiday Train as well. Unfortunately got so caught up with the clearance sales, budget has been redirected. So no train but the hunt continues.
But nothing compared to these guys .... Nostalgic is the word.
fuh! watched it and

nice! but need to smoothen the edges..heheh 7782 is a year 2006 set..hard to find locally new set..
A normal penknife is difficult to penetrate the board. First cut was nice but once it hits the bottom, it kinda created something like those edges lol.
Yeah..will cost a lot but slow2 buy will not feel burden . Somemore its a good set, worth to collect
That is correct. Anyway had a chit chat session with BBT boss while he was signing checks. The sale will end on 31st. Dec.
These would be the last of the 2013 stocks.
Good News! The first wave of ALL 2014 sets will be in by 2nd week of Jan. Sets will include Duplo, City sets, Friends, , Hobbit, Star Wars, Technic, Ninjago, Hero Factory and Chima. Full range of 2014 Lego Movie Sets and Star Wars Micro Fighters are also included in this wave.
Bad news! With the new supplier (undisclosed), BBT members can only get 5% of 2014 sets SRP. Current 2013 stocked sets 10% members still apply.
On a lighter side, while sitting at the sofa at BBT, you will know when you meet a son of a tycoon. Trying to call for his wallet ... aka dad.

What brought me back? My nephew in Australia ... he has been collecting since he was 8. Now he is 12. My niece is also into Friends sets. Went to visit last year, spent some time bricking unbuilt sets with them. I was hooked but never really got on the boat.
Only this year, thanks to the internet I started doing some research and compared prices with retail shops, went online, Fb, Youtube before I committed to my first set comeback and has escalated exponentially since then and expanding my themed collection. Now I'm here LYN since end Nov since the clearance started first at Empire Mall , and still can't recall how I stumbled here? Still figuring out who are the tycoons, sellers and collectors.

if they set the SRP lower compared to current distributor, i think no one would complain of the smaller discount.. then again let's see how they price the new sets..
btw, youtube video is private dude.. can;t see a thing..
