yeap this is the one.. have used them for several times.. it's more worth it when you reach prime status.. otherwise it's better to get from local resellers / retail with discount icon_rolleyes.gif


What means prime status?

bro, buy for me was 7% of the order (prime).. my package shipping was about 40+ USD.. all in all less than 500 so didn't kena tax
hehe... that's one option.. wanna speculate pricing?  laugh.gif
well there's always a way.. whether worth it or not only.. my attempt was rather experimental  biggrin.gif
depending on the shipping charges, sometimes it ends up cheaper than retail. take my purchase for example, all boxes >10% off retail, and the bonus is to pick up martian along the way (worth erm... 60-65?)
the box they used to put my order, there's just so much space in it.. if they use a smaller box, the savings will be greater but these are probably standard sized so nothing much can be done..
if it does cross kena tax, DHL will help pay that 10% tax first.. from the customer service reply that i got seems like they don't charge additional handling charges..
nice haul! we share the same wish list.. haha

ICIC that means it was cheaper then retail and u get the bonus is good biggrin.gif i think sometimes it maybe worth to try ! drool.gif

Hello everyone, reporting in! Just came back from a week of seminar in Hong Kong... I know what you're thinking, Lego shopping!! rclxm9.gif But unfortunately was there for work so had very little time to shop. I did manage to check out some of the places mentioned by fellow AFOLs here, credit goes to bro cute_boboi and Bigfoot-X for the shopping guide and store contact. notworthy.gif

I didn't get anything other than a Lego Woody alarm clock that I had wanted for so long to go together with Buzz...

Generally it is a very interesting place especially In's Place where you can find lots of discontinued sets. I saw a 10189 Taj Mahal going for HK$14000! drool.gif Just feels special to be in the presence of such a massive set.

Prices are generally cheap but not cheap enough to get me to forget about the hassle of hauling the big boxes through the busy streets of Hong Kong and back to Malaysia... So after checking out most of the stores that were opened and controlling my urges to buy I ended up buying nothing. tongue.gif

I'm quite surprised that the prices are "fixed", maybe I'm just not very good at bargaining but every store I go to they just tell me price is fixed and non-negotiable so that really put me off finding good deals for certain sets... I hear others having a great time shopping in Hong Kong so either I'm looking at the wrong places or just a terrible shopper. tongue.gif

Anyway, yesterday was at Bangsar Village and my daughter spotted a Lego truck parked by the road kerb outside Coffee Bean. So we checked it out and it is called "The Mobile Lego City". Inside the truck is a built up Lego Police Station on Display, a Lego City game on iPad and a pile of bricks for the kids to do their MOC.

From what I understand, they are out to create their own customer database so first thing you have to do is to fill up the registration form provided before being allowed into the truck. The kids are given a postcard sized card with 5 boxes to be stamped after they go through each event station. So first station is the Police Station display, you play with it for a bit and gets a stamp. Next is the iPad game, another stamp. Then comes the MOC, create something and get another stamp. Take your MOC down to the booth to have a photo taken and printed on the spot, another stamp. Once all done, you get a RM10 shopping voucher.

Sorry I didn't take any photos of the truck and the inside of the truck. Here are photos of the flyer to tell you when they will be next and the RM10 voucher I received:

Thank you for further clarification and I hope this puts everyone's mind at ease. rclxms.gif  thumbup.gif

It is a thankless job and I'm glad another person has decided to offer his/her time and effort to bring in affordable Lego sets to fellow AFOLs. icon_rolleyes.gif
Congrats and welcome to the club! rclxms.gif

Just a nice warm up to the launch of Lego Technic Volvo later this year... brows.gif
