Last Stand...

Pictures taken in my room and the light was pretty dim, didn't use camera flash. It was past midnight, and the guys were preparing for the zombies onslaught.

zombie fighters...preparing for the night...

The chain behind was used to slow down the zombies..

Using the sets 7245 Prisoner Transport, 7566 Farmer, 7639 Camper and 8401 City Mini figures. Plus mini figure Zombie. Samurai sword from Prince of Persia, Dastan. Revolver from Indiana Jones...

The camper defense van will be put on hold, insufficent pieces at the moment..

Lego Sales in Singapore (Aug 2009)

Pictures are not taken by me. On the bottom right are the rare Lego ambulance set bundle with a lego set. Pirates, City, Indiana Jones, Star Wars and others.

All these were gone within a day (10 am to about 9 pm), just for card members. No stock left for Sat & Sun, the public was disappointed.

Castles were gone within an hour...half the retail price. To get a cheap set, you have to be fast.

Lego Police Station, Fire Station at SGD 99.90, about USD 70. Just a few train sets avaliable..

As mentioned on 21 Jun post, here is a post on last year lego sales.

The day before the start of the sale, "scouts" lego fan (the pictures above), access the location to take some pictures ... I came across these pictures on the local lego forum only after the sales. Before going down, they were able to know where the lego sets were placed and what was avaliable.

For card holders, we were allowed to enter on the first day of the 3 day sales. By the way, more than 95% of the lego were sold on the first day. The price was 50% or more off current retail price. What excite the buyer was, on sale were the current sets in the market, so the price was very attractive, great savings indeed. 2009 was during the financial crisis, and business need revenue which was hard to come by.

She was lucky enough to get the rare batman sets too.. just 2-3 surprise sets in the sales. Even the sets town plan!

You need someone to keep an eye on your items, when you go around to gather the sets you want ...you can't carry them around if you are buying more than 3 sets, you need another hand to grab the items :) Have to be fast!!! Yes, if you are fast enough, you are rewarded with the town sets, pirates, castles (limited sets). At that time, all the good sets were gone within minutes. She kept an eye on our sets when we are away, she was with her friends, look at what they gathered, there were more sets in front! This is the first time i came across buyers who are stacking lego sets (like free), her 3 friends came back with more...

Yes, you can hand carry all the above in one go after payment...having tried that! Look silly, but i took a taxi back. So it is best to have a friend or relative around to help you. 3 castles, one for myself, one for my nephew and final set was a birthday present.
Just buying what I need, and skip the rest..

My second day purchase on 2 Star Wars Lego, a Creator set and a few others ... nothing left on the 2nd day...

Check the blog again, there is probably a sales again in the 4th quarter.

Lego are expensive...and to collect we buy on discount.

Warning: Lego is highly addicitive. At the moment, my collection are mainly castle, a few City, Indiana Jones and Star Wars sets.

Lego Delivery Monday

Home Delivery...

The most exciting Lego Set! The Hospital 7892 including 7890 Ambulance, 7903 Rescue Helicopter, 7902 Doctor's Car. The hospital was released in Jan 2006 and was discontinued.

Will review in detail when i open up the set. A review from Lego: When someone is sick in LEGO City, the staff of the City Hospital jumps into action! With three floors of medical rooms and equipment, a rescue helicopter and EMT truck, there's no emergency they can't handle! Includes doctor, patient and 2 rescue worker minifigures with lots of accessories! Includes rescue helicopter and EMT truck! Hospital has three floors of exam rooms!

Lego 66326, 4-in-1 super pack (front & back)

Today's delivery of 5 Super Pack

The Lego Superpack 3 in 1 - Above is 66307 World City Value Pack, below is the set 66329 Police/Fire Value Pack. These sets were purchased with the hospital sets last week and was brought back as they were easier to carry. 2 sets each.

Behind the box.

The postman arrived today at 10am for the Lego delivery. As mentioned in the earlier post, an update on the new purchase.

4 Boxes of 66193 (Hospital Set) and 1 Box of 66326, a total of 20 boxes of lego sets. Plus earlier 12 smaller sets of 66307 and 66329. The hospital set was gone within 2 hours, while I was there, calls were coming in and orders were placed. There was an unknown buyer buying up all 66193. Luckly, I am able to get a few sets. There were less than 15 sets in total.

The sets which I give it a miss is the Super Pack 3-in-1 set 66306 Coast Guard set, comes with 7738 Coast Helicopter & Life Raft, 7736 Coast Guard Quad Bike and 7737 Coast Guard 4WD Jet Scooter. On discount was the 7686 Helicopter Transporter at about 30% cheaper.

I guess Lego City sales are not as expected, so they came up with the exclusive value pack at a lower price. However, the lego hospital being discontinued, are what most Lego City fans are interested in. Currently it is quite expensive and hard to get in the open market, not many are sealed in box.

The coming post will be on last year lego sales in Singapore, so called "warehouse sale", so stay tune.
