So many creator vacation getaway and park figurines sets in Penang. Yet in kl everywhere no stock. What a big location difference. Still no signs of Porsche and xwing in Penang. Ecto 1 available in queensbay mall.

QUOTE(mchw08 @ Jul 1 2016, 07:11 AM) Few month back, everything also hard to get, now its everywhere in lcs. its good also, scalper be gone lol.. Yup someone shared a block on why he is no longer Lego investor/scalper and the reason are very valid. The exact reason he said about China sets undercutting Lego sets are happening now. First time I fully support piracy. Rip scalpers.

QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Jul 4 2016, 06:15 PM) I hope got sales as well as more promotions, VIP points, free polybags like overseas. Plus Lego trading should stop this low stock, need booking etc nonsense. Lego trading must be feeling the heat already since China brand is eating at their lucrative exclusive set market. I recently completed a Cafe Corner clone and my goodness.... it is like this clone is an OEM to Lego.  I bought it with low expectations and with the expect to have lots of missing pieces but it totally changed my perception of such clones. Everything fit well, the colors of the brick is close to the original Lego brick, there were only ONE missing piece and ONE defective piece. Even the color consistency of the brick is better than Lego (like different shades of grey, like my ori Lego Fire brigade wall, the worst was the Mk2 mobile crane with different shades of yellow). I attached a photo of it next to my ori Green Grocer and ori Fire Brigade. If I didn't mentioned it is not real Lego you would have thought it is a real Cafe Corner.  Ori price and lipin price?

QUOTE(paanjang16 @ Jul 4 2016, 07:01 PM) Ori Green Grocer and Fire Brigade retail price I recall was RM 899.00. Ori Brick Bank price is RM 800. The Lepin price is RM 250. So for the price of 1 ori can get 3 sets clones. Not sure the original retail price of Cafe Corner. I never was able to buy the Cafe Corner since I started collecting modulars too late to buy the Cafe Corner at retail price. By the time I got my Green Grocer it was already RM 1000+. By the time I got my Grand Emporium and Fire Brigade some time later that is when CC has reached ridiculous price. Now that my Cafe Corner is built, I have to remind myself not to accidentally post my pictures of my modulars with the offending modular in a LUG page or some places which has zero tolerance for clones and get banned in the process.  Don't worry. U r doing it for the greater good. These ridiculous prices must stop. Really killing off the original intend of why Lego was created. Just like property, it's a matter of bubble burst. Same goes to Lego frying price. This post has been edited by 666devil: Jul 5 2016, 12:36 PM

QUOTE(alien2003 @ Jul 19 2016, 01:17 PM) RM1050, last set on shelf. Not sure the RRP though. Expected the pain alrdy since already experienced it when building 41999 which is 1000+ pcs lesser  Price not bad. Rrp was Usd219.99 then. If x5(including gst) already rm1100. Some more this is retired set now.

Wanna ask all the expert Sifu here who has collected Lego for so long: has there ever been discount by LCS for modular sets? Especially during year end clear stock?
