Malu la, haul mixels series 2 only

Yes they have on the first floor. From where the piano is, take the escalator up and right in front of it is the Lego store.

Thread lacking of pictures so posting my recent gain

Yupe mixel series 2. Series 3 looks so damn interesting. Now I can't wait to have them at hand!

Ops. It's HKD39 so around RM16+ after conversion. Sorry for the confusion

This is a must get for me!! Reshuffling priorities now on my wishlist

While everyone is drooling over the new and upcoming sets, here's a pic of my haul from HK recently. Ultraman the great and Mr. Alby, I finally posted pics

I didn't debox any of the sets nor was I taxed for any of it Total weight for Lego alone is around 22kg.

All the sets were fitted into 2 big brown Lego boxes and was checked in together with my baggage (4 check-in items in total). The counter lady asked what was inside the boxes so I just said Lego. No further questions asked. Back in Malaysia, the boxes and baggage were placed in the airport trolley but Kastam did not check them so off I went back to my house. Surprisingly, the brown boxes condition is good so no damaged boxes

Lol not champion but was lucky Kastam didn't kacau and check hehe.

Lol already planning to start building one of it tonight

Lol use luggage to cover the brown box? I think it really depends on luck whether kastam wants to check your bag or not. My first time hauling so much when travelling.

If compared to retail price here, yes there's a big difference. As an example, Parisian was at HKD1350 and LOTR Tower was at HKD1500. Perhaps smaller sets do not have huge difference but still quite an amount when combined everything (plus I cannot tahan seeing those sets and ended up buying them there as well ). SW Microfighters was only at HKD85 for example.

Lembu on the way

Clothing, shoes, other toys

Some new sets in HK are cheap (sometimes real cheap) but some are not. HK is good if you're looking for rare/discontinued sets as they have a good selection of those. I think US retail is cheapest if you can haul back from there (I might be wrong though).

The state tax depends on where you buy I believe. 7-8% if I'm not mistaken. For HK, as mentioned by maxlife, it's good if you can haul big/EOL sets that is rare here in Malaysia. Or maybe some sets of interest that you can find cheap there compared to the price here. Oh and it also depends what you like and want to collect.

hehehe

Didn't try hand carry so can't tell if customs will check. But if the set is big, don't think you can fit it in hand carry luggage.

Ins Point is the place to go in HK. There are a few more stores here and there in HK but the prices might be slightly higher than the price you can find in Ins Point.

Wah your brickfolio stats is missing Cepat show please hahaha

Hmm not sure about baseplate, but using very little UHU glue on the 2x2 bricks, it sticks nicely on the cardboard. Of course there will be some figs that cannot fit like Medussa because of the tail.

This was my first attempt on Ribba. Now I'm done with 8 of them

Yea I did some slight mistake in the measurement calculation for the first attempt. Fixed it in version 2 of my template so that it does not cramp on the sides. They are now almost equally distributed (with 0.1-0.3mm difference)

Anyway Ribba has both white and black. Downside to white is you need to clean it often from dust. I was actually thinking of spraying the frame with the packaging color but I will need to spend a lot on paint.

Yea 1 frame 1 series with a mixture of black and white frames. For background, I use cardboard colors according or closed to the packaging color.

For Medusa, I tortured her a bit Flipped her tail to face frontwards and then the tail end can be folded down. I know after a long time, the tail will be stuck with that folded position and that's why I got one extra Medusa for keep sake Will take a picture tonight when I'm home.

Hmm didn't thought of that before lol. Maybe I can scout around and experiment.

Planning to hang them on the wall but didn't get myself to do it yet

Yea standing on 2x2 bricks will require the figs to hold their accessories. I'm not a creative guy so I guess holding accessories looks ok to me hahaha.

I think you will need to play with the colors a bit to make it look good. What colored bricks and what colored background changes the outlook. I guess everything needs experiment hehe

I was mistaken. Only 7 was done lol.


Here's a pic of series 10 in ribba. Notice how medusa tail is folded and the amount of UHU I put is very little hence the 2x2 not in a proper state. Still thinking of a way to fit Medusa.


And here's a pic of another calculation mistake I did which made the second row figs a little too near.


p/s: Sorry for the bad quality picture

Lol I modified my calculation template and finally got the right measurement on third try. Series 2 has the nicest measurement at least to me lol

Lol both of you have the same idea of putting it on the side. Anyway 90 degrees might not work because her tail is fat. Maybe around 60 degrees. If only her body can face up then it's like looking up to the sky hahaha

Hehehe Emmet and Wyldstlye are all inside the frames. But... I have spare Emmet and his gang who are not imprisoned so who knows what will happen hahaha

I think it's Millenium Falcon
