Im behind schedule as well. some 2014 sets not yet opened. Even the 2014 Creator sports-car-turn-dino also I havent buy (will wait for 10% discount hehe).  I'm reserving these sets to be unboxed during "musim kemarau" next week that might  last 2 months.

And 2015 stuff not a single set bought.

need to start craving to un MISB LEGO set rather than craving to buy new set but dont open/play with it..haha

musim kemarau?? long holiday ah?

My own Technics tips:
1) That brick separator is pretty much useless for studless. It's more for the standard lego studs sets.

2) To Push : Phillips screwdriver (test-pen). Either original Phillips, Stanley, or RM2 from pasar malam. This is mainly used to "push" those axles at the head/tail portion. I feel this is just a nice size and grip, with more than enough force. Hold the tip close to fingers, find your own rhythm, strength, and style. Much easier and stronger force than the puny brick separator. No scratch.

3) To Pull :
(i) Thin rubber grips. Any kind 10cm is enough. I use extras from my badminton overgrip.
This is the same grip I use to open those 1.5L carbonated drinks container. Sometimes it's pressurised so hard in order to open it.

(ii) Pliers : That's right. Wrap the item with thin rubber grip (1 or 2 layer), use plier to grip and pull. This can be done on any axle, but you must know how to grip using the plier to minimize damage. Assume the pliers grip top and bottom, you must grip X, not +.
X gives you 4x points of contact. + gives you only 2x points of contact.
Pliers must grip using the front teeth, not sideways.
For pins, it's easier to damage, unless you practise well with axles first.
Also, must not use pliers excessive force to grip and pull. Just enough inner force.
I did damaged a few pins and dented a few axles when starting. Now, I'm confident experienced when to use it without any damage/scratch/dent.

4) Push & Pull technique : basically combination of both #2 and #3 above. Sometimes you just can't push the entire axle out. So, push out quarter/half first. Then use the pull technique.

5) Pin : another pain in the sss finger. This one is easy, treat it as axle to push out.
The rest, just use the pull technique with thin rubber grip.

Edit: which part to grip ... the pin normally look like this from head/tail:
( )
grip both the top and bottom.
Don't grip left and right, the pin will damage easier.


There is a technique where you need a brick/liftarm with this "Utensil Space Gun / Torch ?" , so you plug the other side of pin-hole to "stop" it, and pull it out first. Then release this stopper by pulling out the pin. Then use pull technique above.

Don't know how to explain, I think there is some sort of video or other blogs/explanation on this. Some older technics manual has this as well.

Anyone who has tried dismantle 8110 front wheel hub-set will know the difficulty of the axle-2 (red)
6) Do not use pliers/test-pen as leverage or to skewer something. Metal vs plastic = metal wins. Use the useless brick separator as leverage.

News for London Toy Fair 2015.

Scooby Doo set confirmed.  Not minidolls.  Need 2 sets to get the whole gang. Scooby is not posable.

City sets will be Space and Deep Sea themed for summer.  A large City square set seems to be interesting.

Bad news for Chima fans mchw08, final wave for summer.  Gonna be retired.

Jurassic World coming in May.

1 Ant Man set. No details. 20 GBP price.

New Jokerland set.

Big Star Wars year, but no Episode 7 sets revealed.  Advent Calendar to have C3P0 as Santa, R2D2 as reindeer and a mini Sandcrawler.

Nice nice... more review coming from u?
Townhall was my very 1st modular i get mid last year.. rm800 together with MF Hauted house (also rm800 at that time)..  why i choose townhall instead of other when frens says other modular better... well becos of SIZE! townhall is freaking huge! and got lif inside.. so its a winner in my eyes.

i was planning to buy town hall this year 2015 since i assume the set will retired next year 2016 because it was on sale in 2012
after GE, should be petshop that is going to retired since it was on sale year 2011

but somehow rumors and speculation said townhall going to retired sooner because low volume of sales..and TLG already stop production..

thats make the price jump doh.gif

"I have also heard rumors that the #10224 LEGO Modular Town Hall may be retired early as that seems to be one of the least favored sets due to the higher price and lack of interesting details."
