my experience with part replacement for 'Flash' head, TLG will ask for the serial no. printed at the back of the manual.
They will tell you some mumbo jumbo about

" The pieces you need are based on a story and characters we didn’t create ourselves. Before we can send you the parts, we’ll need to get a number off the back of your instructions."

Haha... but it was an easy process.... shipping does take a while though... (mine was about 5 weeks).

Good luck!

thanks n glad u like them~ 
woah, ur defective part quite serious~

still havent ask for replacement for my GE~ 
2 wolverine claw scratch and hulk smash brick n a missing brick~ 

Yup, polybag giveaway last month.

Regarding the questions asked during replacement parts requests, they will need proof of purchase from you only for parts where they are exclusively printed, or part of a licensed range, like Batman's torso or the Flux Capacitor.

This is to avoid people abusing the system and get parts for cheap to resale.  You know how expensive these parts can be.

My experience has been smooth.  Asked for the reprint flux capacitor, only needed to quote the number on the back of my instruction booklet.  Another incident where my Ecto-1 booklet fell apart, they didn't ask any questions, just asked me to log on with my Lego S@H account and put in the request.  I think they can check there that I purchased it from them.  They even sent an extra one without my requesting since I bought another set for red5ive-O.

If you are asking for a generic replacement part like a 4x2 red brick, they usually don't care much, unless your request is abnormal.

Better put in a request la... New toy feels like old toy with the defects. I was lucky the defective wheel is still serviceable and that allowed me to attach to the steam roller thus completing my build. However, I accept that as a temporary measure while waiting for replacement part to come. I cannot live with a cacat Lego set. haha!
That's daylight robbery!
Thanks for sharing your experiences.   Still no reply from Lego...

I got it from an online seller from Facebook. Now I just need to look for an x-wing
Nice! Did you "improve the foundation in the south east corner?" (Taken from batman begins)

3 dudes shopping for a new car.

Hello all. So basically I'm new to this hobby, but I've been collecting figures (Hot Toys) and Gundam for some years already. And I think its time for me to start collecting Lego as well, as I never play Lego when I was a child (damn poor. Haha)

So long story short, I'm very keen to purchase any ship Lego. I have 3 things in mind: Queen Anne's Revenge, Black Pearl and Metalbeard ship. I saw Queen Anne's Revenge at Amcorp, damage is 1600. Is it worthy to get it with that price? Any other good place to get Lego beside Amcorp Mall? Thanks in advance.

lol! So subtle I didn't get the warning leh...
Perhaps if you can post some photos of how you connect the PF components together the experts here can help to narrow down the problem?

While waiting for more information from you my first instinct is to check the basics, have you set the same channels on the receiver and remote?

Hello and welcome.

If you like ships then you should also throw 10210 Imperial Flagship into the mix.



It is technically not a pirate ship (this is the good guys) but they all belong to the Lego Pirate sub-theme.

Imperial Flagship will be the biggest of them all, Metalbeard's Sea Cow is probably taller but I don't own it so I can't tell for sure.

If you are a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean (POTC) then perhaps it may be worth spending so much of Queen Anne's Revenge. With discontinued sets it is definitely not going to be a value-for-money purchase, it really boils down to how badly you want it. I highly doubt Lego will reproduce any of the POTC ships ever again so if it is something you want then you have to bite the bullet...

As for price references and sourcing for your Lego, besides the usual eBay, Mudah etc. One of the best sites we AFOLs always go to is BrickLink

I took the liberty of checking the prices of Queen Anne's Revenge for you on BrickLink, you can see it HERE

Oh and finally, if you are not crazy over POTC or any of their ships and is happy with any pirate ship then may I suggest you wait a few more months? Strong rumour is a new pirate ship will be released by end of the year...

Hope this helps!
Ah! That's very good news indeed!

Very upset with Lego for not making a statement sooner and cause widespread panic among their fans...

hello there. welcome to this new hobby 

QAR & BP both retired... if you really like them and don't mind spending the high prices why not? they are hard to come by now. Sea cow is easier to find.. and more wallet friendly. some might not like its design though.

My build diary for sea cow:

Day 1 - after 2 hours of bricking

good news indeed! serves those hogging 10-20 exo suits right. ppl must not pay exorbitant prices for these sets.

Hi guys,

I need some help from the more internet savvy peeps here... It is off topic but related to LYN so I put in spoiler below. Anyone who can help is greatly appreciated!    

ps. I wrote to LYN admin and he told me to click "Advance" and proceed to the page... Isn't that risky?

I've got my own UCS Tumbler link  (see sig).

But of course, if you wanna organize a larger bulk to reduce costs, it'll be to everyone's advantage.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion and replies. Yea, I am aware that QAR and BP production had stopped, hence the sky high price. Maybe I will go for Sea Cow and Imperial Flagship. Plus, RM1k+ for my first Lego is kinda high. Hell, this new hobby is more expensive than Gundam and Hot Toys.

I am generally more interested in classical ship theme. POTC theme suits my taste, but my wallet doesn't agree with it (and so does my wife). I will get Seacow or Imperical instead.

Thanks again everyone. :thumb:

Wanted to ask you guys, do you all keep an extra box of Ecto 1? Still thinking whether want to keep one in box...coz initially when I order from BL, just want to lower the shipping cost.

hey,guys.....i'm looking for the modular cafe corner, green grocer and market street..i dun mind is used set..can pm me if u guys have any source for it..thanks and regards

I read that as saving up for a big purchase.

In other news, was down with high fever last night and only felt strong enough this morning to open my boxes.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the largest Lego Technic sets of 2013 and 2014:

no escape from this pic... im seeing it everywhere 

I was at Shell filling up my car last week and noticed that Lego Shell vehicles have finally reached Europe, maybe 2 years too late. Lol.

One can get a free Lego vehicle or a minifigure set for 30 litres of V-Power.  Or exchange the whole set with 2799 Clubpoints.



I'll not be filling up on V-Power (EUR0.20 more) is not worth it.  However, I'll maybe buy the minifgure set for EUR4.99

my late birthday gift from a friend ....
