That is pretty severe damage, the box must have been thrown around quite badly before this... How was the box condition when you bought it? Am curious to know if MISB can still happen or not... hmm.gif

cant believe this can happen~  laugh.gif

Ouch! That's what I feared! MISB... cry.gif You are very unlucky bro... doh.gif

I kena before the polybag punctured and the bricks came out but lucky for me nothing missing and all parts were in mint condition. In fact, that happened to my first ever Modular Building purchase - Fire Brigade. Think it happened to either my Green Grocer or Town Hall too... Hopefully it is a thing of the past because Lego has shrunk the size of the boxes so the contents don't have so much room to move around in the box anymore...

SW fans who may be interested in some discontinued sets pls spoiler below, my collector friend quitting Lego:

very unlucky indeed~ 1st time kena~  laugh.gif
hopefully my other sets don give me nightmare~

u also kena few times~ so suey~
maybe the bag quality not good tear ownself haha~  laugh.gif
*
I think too much room for them to move and especially when you tilt and turn the box you can feel the contents move from one end to another in quite a violent way! haha! So even MISB if whoever handles it keep turning it this way and that to admire the box art will cause damage inside. I find the bursting polybag problem quite common in boxes that size, like I said the newer sets from 2013 onwards should be ok because Lego has shrunk the sizes of the box. icon_rolleyes.gif

Why is he quitting? Now LEGO in Malaysia seems to be taking off ...
I also kena. Beautiful Vampyre bride face got scar, maybe catfight tongue.gif. Lucky I managed to get replacement.
I watched a documentary sometime back - the production of the 7498 Police Station. Interesting. Everything from the 1st phase of designing the set and even the little German Shepard to the final step of filling up the numbered bags and packing of the sets at factory.

And the amount of plastic used stored in the silos. Wow.

I think the reason there's extra parts is because each bag is measured by weight and filled up by machine.

It was an eye opening documentary.

He's quitting because have new hobby already... He had lots of SW sets but have been slowly selling them off, now left with this few... They will be going to BBT if no takers.

Hi all, my first post to say hi to all the Lego enthusiasts out there.

Just recently got out of my dark ages, mostly because of the lovely modular buildings. Have been working on getting my hands on all the modulars but still missing the first 3. Agree with the previous comments - been quite a challenge to catch up coz they’re really hard to find.

Any advice for ways to populate my modular street? Currently thinking of picking the Lego movie vehicles – already have the ice cream machine but the garbage truck and plumber van look interesting. Somehow, they seem more appealing and realistic vs all the very emergency-themed city vehicles.
*
Hi and a big welcome to you! rclxms.gif

I too was drawn out of my dark ages because of Modular Buildings. biggrin.gif

Unless you are prepared to spend loads of $$$ I suggest you give the discontinued ones a miss, they are not hard to find, just hard to accept the asking prices. laugh.gif

10211 Grand Emporium is heading for retirement end of this year so I suggest that to be at the top of your shopping list if you don't already have it. nod.gif

QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Jul 24 2014, 10:11 PM)
What a day today. Here's what happened:-
1) Was on the way to MV at KL Sentral waiting for the Komuter to arrive. Since nothing to do decided to check LOM, Lowyat etc
2) Saw a post in Lowyat that the Volvo has arrived in Curve. Nearly pengsan when I heard about it
3) During lunch at MV decided to call BVII to see if it has arrive in BVII as well. Was happy to hear that it has arrived! So ask the person on the other end to reserve 1 for me. I didn't call Curve coz I didn't have their number.
4) After work went all the way back to Kelana Jaya (my car is parked there, usually take LRT to work) to collect my car then drove all the way to BVII.
5) I dunno why but tonight Bangsar was congested!!! Cannot even enter BVII basement coz it is full.
6) Then somehow managed to find a parking spot along the shops.
7) Terus masuk BVII to collect my Volvo then balik after that

Needless to say, I'm very surprised it came this early. Last year the MK2 arrived in August. In fact I got my MK2 in late July/very early August last year and that is through a FB seller. This time Lego themselves ship the Volvo early. rclxm9.gif 

Now regarding the box, it is HUGE. As you can see when I compared it to the box of the MK2. The difference almost equal to 1 Emmet.
BTW, the red technic truck and bulldozer is also there. The red Technic truck is RM399.99 and the bulldozer RM 199.90. The Volvo cost RM 1049.90.
Looks like Raya arrived early for me this year again!

To Lego_Jason, hope you dun mind since I already gotten my Volvo already. The desire to have the Volvo was too great. I'm still thinking if to get another 1 or not.  icon_question.gif
Thank you for your tip-off bro. 
Welcome to Lego!

Ya, the movie themed vehicles seem better proportioned to the modular buildings than some City vehicles. Also some city sets like Police and Fire tend to repeat year after year.
*
Wow! Congrats bro!! rclxms.gif

No worries at all, I'm super excited and very envious of you having that set already!! icon_rolleyes.gif

So I take your name off the list ok?

Thanks for sharing the photos on the box dimension, that confirms the shipping assumptions I have made earlier. notworthy.gif

Some photos I took of my Volvo wheel loader. Took me about 6 hours to build it.

Before building, have to organize all the parts for easier assembly. Quite alot of parts since it is a flagship model and no numbered bags. MK2 is easier since got numbered bags.

The completed Volvo with Emmet and Lord Business posing next to it for scale. It is quite large, but still....

.. the Mercedes Unimogs is taller. Length wise almost the same. Both are using the same tires FYI.

Hi guys,

I am new here on this part of the forums. Recently got really pulled into Lego frenzy after visiting Legoland in London with my kids during a holiday. I am a huge Star Wars fan and the Super Star Destroyer and X-Wing models blew me away. There was no turning back after seeing those. And when I came back to the shops in Malaysia, seeing the B-Wing on display sealed the deal for me.

I am in the construction line and so the Technic series are also making me very interested, especially seeing some of the Volvo photos above.

Just wanted to say hi to all the members here and hope to learn and share more in future.

Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Holidays to all!
*
Hi and a big welcome! biggrin.gif

Yes, you are very right about no turning back! hahaha! Enjoy and hope to see some photos from you. wink.gif
