bulk order la...

Haha. no problem.

Don't wait till June, price of 10197 Fire Brigade will be higher than now. You know what they always say: "Buy now, regret later".

Yeah, but the prices in that list is not always that attractive...

Haha! Slow down on BO this year as I don't have that many sets in my "buy list". In fact, hoping new distributors will save me the trouble of self importing... The problem with self import is I always buy too many, end up jamming up my $$$ and storage issues... Wife nag...

Anybody interested in CMF Series 12? (aka Lego Movie Series?) I'm going to order myself a few boxes, maybe I will do a bulk for that if people are keen...

I just checked last night, from my supplier before shipping and tax the cost is already ~RM750... I leave it to you to work out how much is the final landed price in Malaysia...

I also considered the Ikea Detolf based on what I read here but after checking out the real thing I changed my mind. Like what bro maxilife1 said, it is not completely sealed so dust will still go in but to me the deal breaker was the build quality. It is not a very sturdy shelf, held up only by the four skinny metal rods. It is wobbly when you gently push it and the glass is very thin and flexes too much to my liking. I can't have that in a house with kids running around...

Thanks for the suggestion. Like bro maxilife1 said, I should've read a few pages back regarding the dust. I'm going to IKEA this week to check on Expedit or Detolf. Maybe after I finish building my Pet Shop.

2014, need to save money for the upcoming sets. Big sets like Simpson's House and Metalbeard's Sea Cow are very very tempting. Not to forget Parisian Restaurant! Buy maybe I'll that for later. Gotta buy Town Hall first, then Palace Cinema. LOL

can try this, its Billy from IKEA with glass shelves. Saw it in the fitgher aircraft collection thread

anyone have/collecting technic figures? hows the playability?

the one that mention is = RM469 ..80x237 cm
http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/S19884595/

Billy bookcase with class door..200x237 cm = RM1228
http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/S39885947/

But be aware the Detolf cannot fit modulars like Town hall or Fire Brigade because the the spacing between shelves cannot be adjusted. Even the Grand Emporium won't fit into Detolf unless you remove the roof bill board sign.

Billy bookcase shelf is will not fit any modulars also as the baseplate depth required is more then 20cm. I use Besta for its 40cm depth so it can even fit a large grey base plate.

Glass doors and lighting is available but optional.

This is how I protect my Modulars from excessive dust.

reading all the responses regarding display, seems like I need to dedicate a room solely for Lego. with custom display shelves

means I need to save more money to move into a bigger house. haha

Ikea LED dioder/strip quite expensive

future plan = dedicated LEGO room

but in order to save money, dont buy lego..how?

Actually i have a question on storage of lego boxes. How to you store them? Opened ones I stack them up like wallpaper. The windows are never opened. But somehow the smell of boxes fills up the entire room. I have tried using those tasty hyppo type stuff to absorb the moisture but the same smell still ada.

Any ideas?

RM690 dari mana?

i flatten the box and put it inside fire brigade box

example below (google)

tea time spam

Nicely done by that person.

That will be the best solution.

I also have that smell, I supposed once you have enough of those boxes in one room the smell becomes very obvious. I even had charcoal in the room but that doesn't seem to work. In the end I spread them all over the house (wherever I can find space to stash my loot) and the smell is gone from the room. I also use those cling wrap films to wrap the boxes (opened and unopened ones) and that may be the solution...

Zaman yang terlepas...

Wow! This person has so many of the same set!! Army builder! For a moment I thought it is yours!

i don't want full set.. only the spares.. if you have extra to let go let me know ya... thanks

besides, i have a couple of detolf at home. placed them at corners. it wobbles but not too bad.. but they are not suitable for lego displaying. small sets, yes. bigger ones, it'll be a hassle moving them in and out (for play etc.)

billy bookcase, i thought there are the deeper ones? those should be able to hold large baseplates.. no?
