Lego technics are nice! Even their smaller sets are quite detailed and nice to build... Best part... Not many people into it yet so got a lot of stock 😁

LCS just called me....can collect GB HQ...

Now having mixture response...one side happy the other side RM1799 is gonna burn a big hole plus I have just increased commitments...

I can understand how you feel... For me I keep wondering if it's worth the price as I can get 2 modulars at that price... But then again, it's ghostbusters hq! 😅 So I'm leaving it all to fate... If LCS calls me or if I see it then I'll get 1... 😁

Anyone here had any buying experience from Lego Reseller on FB?

Yes, bought a tie fighter 9492 a few years ago from him. No trouble with the trade as did a cod in mv that time. (If this is the same guy)

I wanted to skip this set at first, but then the new trailer was out with soidey, decided to buy it, suddenly there is an overflow of stocks unlike earlier of the month

I see.... Based on historical experiences although I am not poisoned by this set now, I might be trying to get it after the movie... This is like what happened in Star Wars where before the movie I kept thinking... "So many Orange X wing???" And after the movie I can't find any 😅

Am still hoping for Lego online shop to be accessible in Malaysia... I would have thought that with all the many fb groups, Lego might see the value in setting up the store here 😁

Hi everyone~

I'm back again with a new MOC ! Introducing Killbison, a member of Transformers breastforce team . He transforms into a tank and also a leg for the super robot Liokaiser. Enjoy!
Introduction

In my quest to fulfil last year's vow of building a Transformers combiner , Killbison is actually the last MOC I started work on (from the team of 6 breastforce members). This is because I have difficulty finding the needed brown parts ,

Just like his original toy, Killbison transforms into a Gepard Tank  with 2 turrets. But the original toy has 4 tank treads instead of 2 like in many typical real world tanks. I choose to follow the latter.
Trivia

> Initially this MOC was suposed to be a "remold" of Drillhorn I started much earlier, but Drillhorn's drill tank mode is chunky looking. I decided to build Killbison from scratch using a new transformation method.

> When I started building this guy about 2 months ago, I used many black parts as a placeholder.In the quest to procure more brown parts quickly (this means not from ordering online), My routine scout in a mall yielded me Mixadel (A Mixel set) . This set has 4x c-clips I needed to complete this MOC. What a stroke of luck!

> Some sacrifices were made for the robot mode aesthetics to ensure Killbison form a sturdy looking combiner leg. (one example is the robot arms with bland desig

For more photos of his "killer" antics and poses (and my "killer" writeups on how he came to being), do pay a visit to blog below!

So far every box has 3 complete sets and change.  The 2 complete sets thing must be a defect of sorts.

You get 12 random assorted minifigures after.

For Disney minifigures, maybe 3 complete sets with 6 left over which will be assorted.
*
Actually series 11 and Lego movie sets only has 2 complete sets and the rest are extras... Not sure about the earlier series as I started collecting from series 11 😅

Hopefully Disney gives 3 full sets 😁

1 box have 3 sets? For Disney cmf.

Meaning extra 6 cmf duplicates right?

If I were to buy a box, I can share with 2 other persons but each will have to also buy the extra 2 cmf since 1 set is 18 cmf

Rm258 per person, anyone wants to join?

Going to a TRU after this to check if there are still sealed box available

Note: strictly cod at Selayang / Kepong / Damansara Heights on weekdays

The box that I shared with my friends have 3 full sets with 6 extras: stitch, alien, Mickey, dash, invincible bad guy, genie:)

actually sometime is ourselves to blame. When the set is in store, we wait and think that can buy somewhere cheaper or think that is still new so can wait. So wait wait wait, then suddenly EOL, no choice buy from others with higher price lor....

so this is opportunity cost - we wait then be prepare to pay higher later, we buy now then can enjoy earlier no need to buy at high price.... lol
*
That's true! Same thing just happened to me... Last time can find lots of Volvo Technic Wheel Loader at LCS, now when it's no longer around, I suddenly felt like getting it... 😓

Must keep reminding myself of the chant... "Buy first, regret later" haha

Looking at the leaked rogue one sets so far, I'm willing to pass on the resistance x wing for those new sets.

Agree with you that the rogue one sets looks really good. I'll skip on the X wings for now due to the price to see how are the rogue one priced.

On a different topic, was at TRU mv and there were quite a few collectors there. Really fun to meet and chit chat with other collectors... all trying to decide if they should buy first and regret later haha 😆
