Hi guys, purchasing Lego Creator Maersk Triple E 10241 from a friend who works in that shipping company, is RM700 COD a fair price? Anyone wants to tag along so, maybe can ask him further discount....

Firstly hope the admin will excuse me to post this. As a newbie (actually silent reader), I want to confirm below who have pooled with me Lego 10241 and 10219, to keep everything transparent and avoid potential misunderstanding

Lego 10241
peso marge (deposit paid)
paanjang16 (deposit paid)

Lego 10219
Papabear (deposit paid 2 sets)
heng84 (deposit paid)
toh2020 (deposit paid)

Thanks for your patience liasing with me and doing the best I can so we all can get a nice set in reasonable time and price. smile.gif Order is now closed.

I wish to state that I am in no way related to bro lighthouse or ever knew him from a previous life. I got quite a few pm from fellow forum members asking me if it is safe to deal with him or pay the deposit. Honestly I cannot give any good advice other than it is a buyers beware situation in the absence of buyers protection from the likes of PayPal etc. I'm not saying this is a questionable person or deal but you have to do your own checks and weight out the pros and cons if you wish to participate. In fact, the same caution goes for every online transactions that you make, not only this.

Finally, to bro lighthouse. Thanks for running this CS and I hope you do not take any offense in any of us doubting you. I'm not writing this to discredit you, I just want to set the record straight for everyone. You were not a regular contributor to the forum and I hope you can understand why almost everyone is cautious with parting their $$$ to strangers. Good luck with your CS and hope everyone gets what they ordered soon! icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks bro Lego_Jason, didnt mean to use your name and caused any complications so my apologies for that. As you put it, it wasnt meant to be a Sales thread. Was simply asking if anyone wanted to pool for this one-off opportunity.

Anyway I totally agree that everyone should be careful depositing cash to an online stranger outside ebay or similar websites. Given the very tight timeline I couldnt think of any arrangements that can mitigate total risk from both sides, and asking for deposits was the only thing I could come up with (which I am still bearing some risk).

Comfort-wise, I am updating everyone personally through phone calls ,sms and pm, of the progress of their deposit and order. Still won't prove anything on trustworthiness , until the sets actually reached the buyers hand, but as of now thats the best I can do. Hope those paid don't lose sleep over this okay? smile.gif Sincerely dont want the excitement of waiting become a dreadful long anticipation from you guys instead

Looks what's arrived... naturally, a big ship like this can only arrive by sea.  laugh.gif

Great meeting you too!

Just to clear the air for the rest of the forummers who had booked with me, I apologize that this is not indication the order we pooled together has arrived. (Both ship and train). The one faish888 managed to get his hands on is by pure luck that another guy who have an extra stock from a looong ago Christmas order, and he wanted to let go his unit, so I'm merely the middleman.

Rest assured I am keeping close track of our orders and will keep every single detail updated to me to be shared with you in pm.
