Lego Lazada/Shopee packaging is so damn bad, it feels like their packaging staff is purposely trying to sabotage them. I already have 3 lego boxes that came in piss poor condition. Planning on returning 2.
Also another 2 more on the way which most likely will be in the same condition.

I only had 1 which came in good condition since it was so big they had to use a bigger/sturdier 2 ply carton box.

No really, all my purchases from Lazada/Shopee packaging has been ok to great, never had issues for 99% of the stuffs i buy.
The problem here is not the delivery/courier people, it is the Lego employee in charge of the packing. Just look at how they pack the Lego boxes, seriously 0 respect given to their own products.

Yea, in all my 10+ years of Lazada/Shopee shopping, i've never seen such bad packaging & consistent too..


I've bought from other shops, e.g. Bricks Smart, Brickmonster, tftoy, etc - ALL great & neat packaging, and the Lego boxes were 99% great condition.

Reason i went for the "Official" Lego shop is the huge discount which went up to 40-50%. Really big savings, but if you plan to collect and keep the Lego box, definitely the last choice.

Interestingly the "bigger" & more "expensive" sets came in a more sturdier packaging and taped better as well, e.g. UCS AT-AT & Rivendell. (Handled by Mapletree Logistics)
The rest of my "cheaper" sets, e.g. Transformer, Back to the Future, a few 20th Anni Star Wars set all were horrible. (Handled by Kerry Integrated (Malaysia) SB)

Conclusion, Kerry Integrated is the worse logistics ever. If you have any parcels you see with their sticker/stamp, pray whatever is in your parcel is in good condition...

Yea they used the same big ass flimsy cardboard for all my small lego sets as well. To compensate the huge space, they fill with a few brown paper and lazy sloppy ass bubble wrap the lego box.
They even used their own Kerry labeled tape to seal the box, they seem proud of it when the tape is as weak as a small cellophane tape on a big box.

If you have Lego 75252 i am interested


I still blame Lego though, they have so many reviews telling them of the poor packaging/logistics but they didn't bother to change. For smaller/cheaper sets i'm no longer going to choose them anymore.
I just returned 3 of my orders, Transformers, Back to the Future & Tantive. I rebought the Transformers from the physical Lego shop, RM100 more expensive but at least the box condition is 99% great. Will be looking to rebuy back the Back to the future set from other sellers online...

What a coincidence, I actually bought the 42167 for my kid. I got it just to reach RM500 with my 75379 to get the RM150 discount. Really made my 75379 cheap, both total at RM342.92 - equivalent to a discounted 75379 and a free 42167 lol

The irony is that the 42167 box was in perfect condition (which my 3yr old kid wouldn't care), but my 75379 box was a bit crap (which I care...)

Haha some are box collectors? Used price even with good condition boxes are no where near NIB prices either way, so i think most keep the boxes just for collection.
I have a backlog since 2017 after building my UCS MF, mainly due to lack of space to display. So don't talk about boxes, even my Lego sets don't have space
Because of that i would most likely only keep those which fulfill several criteria - limited edition/rare/special collab? great artwork + unboxing experience?
In that sense, i would definitely keep the UCS boxes, Transformers & Back to the future.

Ughh after a few years being away from Lego, I spent so much in the past month after coming back...

Just buy from Shopee during sales, usually can get around 40% off.
I bought seriously too many Lego SW this past 1/2 year, more than 30 sets all still sealed

I bought the UCS Interceptor for RM576 from Shopee. Was cheaper at Lazada, but when I went to check Shopee price then went back to Lazada it was already sold out 😓
So I had to buy from Shopee instead, still a good price but not the best..

But overall the discount was quite disappointing compared to 6.6. I regretted not getting the Venator then, so cheap at around RM1.5k+
