yeah. the camper van is more complicated. some of the proportion of the beetle is a bit awkward. a bit short and the wheel doesnt fit well imo. in terms of scale, 3 lego minidolls fit side by side at rear seat as if they're toddlers but when standing nxt to the car, they're about wheel height which isnt correct laugh.gif its a cool display set nevertheless and fit my detolf well.

i got mine at GM. van is 10~20ringgit more expensive only..
*
im probably gona get one via ezbuy. with the prime account it seems pretty cheap, not sure if there are any t&c or charges i dont know about yet tho. The porsche i got cost me less than 200 excluding shipping (so far, again, not sure if there are additional charges)

Only issue being that you probably have to deal with missing parts yourself. *prays no missing parts!!!*

by using ezbuy, need to include the agent fee on top of the prime acc shipment...not sure the sea shipment need tax or not for MY, SG require to declare n pay tax for sea shipment regardless how much the item.

btw, i also bought my lepin from tabao  biggrin.gif
*
ehh.. hmm.... when do we pay? so far, have not paid for any agent fees

**ohh ya, no agent fees till the 14th october

ahh. u buy direct. how much would that be? i got the beetle for 125.
*
err..... no idea.... called them this is what they have said.
basically:
+18.xx for prime account (one off payment about a month validity)
+8.80xx per order (u can buy as many 'prime' items as you want per order, size and weight don't matter)
+xx.xx total item(s) price

so far ordered the porsche for less than 200 + (with some other bunch of random goods+ahbeng accessories which i dont know why i bought). so far seems like a good deal i guess. (mepoorfeg cry.gif must cari best deals! honestly was shocked seeing the porsche for 200... saw the original lego set in megamall after ordering it, 1499, my jaw fell off shocking.gif )
other items:
tumbler 160
vw 90
mini 90
camper 80
f40 80
f1 80
mercedes benz arcos 240 (didnt realize it was released)
crane 260 (didnt realize it was released)

(prices i saw on exbuy were around that fig, cant remember exactly)

your stated prices all excluding shipping fee ?

am actually not sure how it works.... but from what i understand,
1)I applied for a trial prime account which cost me RM18, for 1 month validity (one off payment)
2)every time i made an order (as in every batch) they charged me rm 8.80, regardless or weight or box size
*asked about agent fees, am not so clear about it, not sure if its a limited time 'no agent fees' promo OR basically prime memberships dont need to pay agent fees (which is what they claim and makes no sense to me)

So far, i have yet to receive all my items, they will arrive separately. Just picked up (yes 'picked up', lol instead of mailing to you they allow you to pick up your goods at certain locations&times they select. usually at mcd or other well known areas) some led bulbs and spot lights last saturday. They didnt ask me for additional payment SO FAR.... porsche has already reached malaysia, they are not sure if i can get it by sat or tues.

wow.... got the lepin 20001 porsche on saturday and 10++ hours into the build and am now at chapter 4. Am very happy with this kit so far rclxms.gif ! Not complete yet so not sure if there are any missing pieces! Very good value for $ for such a large scale model with fantastic features. Model is flawed tho, why did they hide all the inner workings of the car? its adds to its attractiveness. bangwall.gif
As some reviews have mentioned, tyres are kinda crappy, glossiness of the panels are not very consistent and some scratched, some pieces abit loose (not really an issue, still holds fine) but for the 200 bucks i paid, im very very satisfied. I was actually expecting much worse.

not sure bout u guys but, one of the pieces (4225033) was slightly 'off'

like it was formed abit too long and needed alot of force to fit in.

Thanks!

That's interesting. But does the package includes box? I cant seem to trace sufficient details to make a decision.

so far i have bought the porsche via ezbuy, came with the box (but was abit squashed)
another camper van otw... so far, ezbuy has been relatively painless for me cheaper than buying it over here (porsche cost me less than 200 rclxms.gif ), only issue being that i dont know how to get missing parts from the seller

Bro...too bad i can't PM you, LYF block promoting message.
You may direct search in taaobao and select good reputable seller, the price is almost the same.

Same as ism1991 recommendation, if you are box collector highly not recommend for taobao
Since I am buying Lepin, box condition never my consideration
*
i too cant be bothered bout the boxes.... its a ko set, not the real thing. Am dumping the boxes anyway, I ain't got no space to keep the boxes in my house smile.gif

I'm just happy that LEPIN brought back all the retired modulars.

And really really happy that scalpers are not able to sell their stock....So have more waffles draw crap..whops I mean raffles.

Green Grocer > RM3.5K? No thanks. I bought less than RM180 HAHAHHAHAHA *Thank you LEPIN.

LEGO Grand Carousel RM9~RM12K? Baik you simpan saja la. I can pay less than RM400 for that.

yeap...lepin porsche only like rm300 ? it's not like you gonna play with the lego porsche whole day long..most of the time it's gonna be displayed
you have better use of the extra rm1.2k for something else
*
lol... good point.
1.5k is not something i would have been able to afford.

anyone have any idea how much the original lego campervan or mini costs? should go check that out next time....
