After a year of hard work and dedication, we're very proud to announce the next milestone in our BUGS history. WE ARE NOW AN OFFICIAL RLUG (Recognized LEGO User Group)!
We would like to thank all our core members, our forum members, the local LEGO community and TLG (The LEGO Group) for all the support that you've given us. Without you guys, there wouldn't be a BUGS today.
Our story doesn't end here, in fact it's just beginning! So please continue to show us your support and we promise bigger and better things to come! Here's a very big thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Guide for LEGO Promo Nov - Dec 2015 - 20151104
Alot of us might be facing the same prob at TRU. We want the Hulk polybag, but we don't want to be paying paying full retail for something we can get at a discounted price, be it a member discount or sale discount.
Here is some information to help you ppl along.
Above is the list of TRU exclusive. As we can't get these sets at any ideal price, this will be best to get these sets in order to clock the amount for the free polybag.
Note: 41057-1: Heartlake Horse Show has a clearance price of $59.9
Above is the list of White Tags (pre-discounted sets).
Fillers to cover the last 10 cents will be CMF, Mixels, Friends Pets.
Anyway, hunt well.

CMF series 14 with reference to RoTK - 20151026
Today is the first day of the last bricktober 2015 set release.
CMF being the lowest priced items is always the go-to when you are just short of the last few dollars to clock $100.
As we move from point to point, my friend and I were talking about which are the most unwanted of the series. Then he started making reference to the 3 brothers of Romance of Three Kingdom. Please do your own homework as it's a very long story.
The three brothers title will, without a doubt, go to the 5s of the series. Monster Scientists, Monster Rocker, Zombie Pirate. But who is who?
刘备：confirm is Monster Scientist. Most unwanted of the lot. Always staying behind to man the fort. Though unstated, most cunning of the 3, biggest brain. Half of 厚黑学 is based on him.
关羽：Zombie Pirate. The 2 most defining characteristics of 关公 is his 青龙偃月刀 and his beard. Zombie Pirate comes with a large blade which was also the first choice of ppl trying to reproduce the same weapon for minifig; just need to extend the handle. And finally a extra beard piece, though not the ideal long type like Sensei Wu's, but still a beard.
张飞：Monster Rocker. Believe to be the dumbest among the brothers, Monster Rocker give you a look of not being so smart. What's more, one of 阿飞 story was that at a bridge, with a loud shout, he backs down 曹操's army of 100000. Guess the guitar will help boost it.
After the naming of 3 brothers, we went on to identify 5 tiger generals. 3 characters are needed for 赵云 马超 黄忠.
The next few more unwanted in sequence will be Squarefoot, Fly Monster, Skeleton Guy.
Both of us agreed 马超 is Squarefoot for his furry barbarian look.
No idea who is what next, any suggestions?

Whats is thanksgivings? - 20151019
http://www.allabouthistory.org/meaning-of-thanksgiving.htm
Thanksgiving holds different meaning and different practices for different ppl.
Thanksgiving holds different meaning and different practices for different ppl.
Here in Singapore, we dont really celebrate thanksgiving, or rather, thanksgiving is merged together with Christmas. Which is also why we have turkey on our Christmas dinner. Yes we are a highly efficient ppl. I'm waiting for the day when the rice dumpling festival and mooncake festival will merge and restaurants will be selling moon-dumplings.
Today we will be looking at the 2 thanks giving set. 40056-1: Thanksgiving Feast (polybag) and 40123-1: Thanksgiving Feast (boxset).
Maybe its just me trying to be romantic, but i like to look at sets and perhaps imagine that there are clues and stories that the LEGO designers has hidden in the sets.
Today we will be looking at the 2 thanks giving set. 40056-1: Thanksgiving Feast (polybag) and 40123-1: Thanksgiving Feast (boxset).
Maybe its just me trying to be romantic, but i like to look at sets and perhaps imagine that there are clues and stories that the LEGO designers has hidden in the sets.
As we can see, the minifig looks similar but has perhaps aged. Whats more to give thanks for than the well-being and companionship of our other half? well, maybe the 2 cats has died... but that will be another story.
We can see that for the male minifig is almost exactly the same. Same Torso, same hairpiece but different colour, grey for the older man.
Based on the same concept, the female minifig also have grey hair for the older minifig and a change in hairstyle. Understandable, you dont expect a lady to maintain the same hairstyle for 50 years do you?
What about the torso? you might ask. different torso = different minifig. well, hear me out. this is a part where only a castle fan will know.
The torso for the younger female belongs to the Kingdoms Lion Princess.
The torso for the older female belongs to the Kingdom Lion Queen.
Here we see a change in status, the princess has grown to be became the queen.
So there you have it. a link between 2 sets. an aging couple. Thanksgiving has never been more meaningful

Modulars are not all of LEGO - 20151016
Recently, some fans were telling me that they feel like giving up on collecting. They cant get the earliest 3 and they don't see an end to the line. Its like dangling in mid-air; being neither here nor there.
What I told them was, Modulars are not all of LEGO.
Every year, LEGO releases more than 500 sets of LEGO. Modular building is just one of the 500. If I were to define a point that makes modular stand out from the rest, I would say its only its high count with a price to part ratio comparable to Creator series.
If you just gave it more time, you will realize that there is more aspects of playing LEGO than just modular.
In fact, being buildings, it's on the simpler end of LEGO structures. Buildings only build from bottom up, deploying simple SNOT when creating its facade. Starwars and Chima vehicles uses a number of techniques in other to make an irregular shape stable.
Ultra Agents makes use of a lot of new techniques in other to have the vehicles transformable and perform special functions. Yeah, that's the reason why the ocean HQ needs to have a brick built hull instead of a single piece that can float. So quit nagging that you don't want a ship that can't float. I don't see you throwing your Imperial Flagship into the pool either.
Modulars have a maximum minifig count of 8 (Townhall has the highest count). bad news for army builders. And at the same time, all the minifigs are generalized with classic faces so it will not be drawing attention away from the building. unlike Collectible Mini Figurine Series will gives every character a different expression, which had allowed me to recreated my friend's wedding photo in LEGO form. though my friend didn't know, I had to use an expensive Roman Legionnaire face mirror his expression. Bro, wedding leh, smile abit can?
Other area of LEGO, will include but not limited to, Landscaping, Minifig Mod (Gollum voice: Murderer~~); Minifig Molding; Micro Builts, Mech Builts, Mosaics, Giant sculptures, Life Size Replications.
So why does Modulars draw so much attention? another M word Money. Modulars has proven themselves to be highly effective investment vehicles. Even better than stock market as my investor friend exclaimed. But why does it hold so much value? Any bricklinker will tell you, its not worth the current market price as long as you are willing to alter the build slightly and accept a different colour replacement.
I would feel that the only reason is that, as long as you have older Modulars, it is very easy for you to gain envy and importance. Which sound more important? I built the entire Singapore, out of 20k bricks. or I have the entire Modular range. To a newbie, most of the time, the second line will draw out a lot of envy. You don't have to build it; You don't need to wreck your brains to solve issues in the midst of building; You just need to spend crazy money, buy the series, sit back, relax and throw out the line to steal the limelight from a MOCer.
Time and Money are the issue most ppl had problems with. Personally, with a toy that stress and encourages Creativity, I feel that it is ironic that this is happening. This is a gap that most ppl who just started will almost never be able to close. That is why a lot of veterans will advise looking forward, never look back. Its more important to have a healthy bank account than overpriced bricks. Pace yourself, LEGO collecting is not a sprint, its a marathon.
End of the day, every Modular release has me excited. Who don't like new parts and all Modulars are guranteed to have an exclusive part. You need to appreciate its beauty and not clouded by its value. I think the designer rather hear lines like how you never tot certain parts could be used to create certain looks; that it looks awesome and wonder how he came up with it than how much you think you can sell it in future and how much profit you can gain from it.

Below is a much recommended store. not mine, but he provide excellent price, value and service.
http://mall.shopee.sg/shop/?sid=10508&source=search#shopid=10508
You may use these codes to buy other stuff, but personally I only buy LEGO. so...
Here is a slight explaination of how shopee works so that we can iron out all misunderstandings. I have my share of hiccups since my store opened.
1. Buyer Place Order - applying of promo codes are done here.
2. Shopee alerts Seller and give Buyer 3 days to make payment.
3. Buyer's Action
- Buyer makes payment and Shopee informs seller to ship
- Buyer forgets about it and Shopee cancels the transaction; this part Sellers have no control over and Buyer might lose the promo code.
4. Seller ships items
5. Buyer's Action
- Buyer needs to acknowledge that the good are received
- or apply for extension of date
- If no action from the Buyer, it is assumed that the Buyer has received the items after 7 days and will auto close.
6. Shopee will release payment to the Seller. which will take quite a few days.
Here are a few points to take note of.
- Sellers do not see how much the buyer is paying, what kind or how much savings you managed to offset using codes is not controlled or even seen by the seller.
- Payment settlement takes very long; please do not hold back the seller by buying something and not collecting. True that you paid for the items, but the Seller wont receive anything til much later. if you wish to create an unfavourable environment for the Sellers, they will simply list at a slower pace to have more payments clearing before listing more.
- Regardless of how many account or how many codes the Buyer is using, its the Buyer putting in effort to save as much as possible. Sellers don't have to adjust your pricing accordingly. You are not LLM.
A Seller Buyer relationship can be a cooperative one. We don't have to kill one another.

Facebook missing post - 20150930
There was a post yesterday, regarding purchasing of a set and due to the source being from a different place than the one described, some unhappiness over it.
I had made a comment to keep myself in the loop, hoping to come back for a more detailed reply, but the post is missing now. Thanks for reminding me again why I set up this blog.
so.... here is it.
Its true that the price paid was the same as the one agreed upon in the first place. so why should the buyer be unhappy?
Financially, there is not difference to the buyer. The only thing different was that the description of the source of the item is different. It was from LEGOLAND Malaysia instead of locally as described.
To the seller, the difference might be ard 10% difference in the cost.
Lets assumed the seller has bought 2 sets. one locally and the other from LLM. (actually its highly likely the seller bought 2 sets in order to have it in the brown box.) If the seller passed the locally purchased set to the buyer, nothing would have happened. However, in this scenario, the LLM set was passed to the buyer and he found out.
Physically, the buyer has received a slightly less minty box, as there will definitely be bumping ard from its journey from LLM and LLM usually do not release its brown carton. meaning no protection.
Emotionally, This is the part that will bug the buyer most. He trusted the person as a friend, but the friend didn't reciprocate his trust. If the seller had told him the full story before hand, he might have agreed. After all, a builder wont need a minty box. Only a reseller does. The truth was hidden for a purpose. Only the seller will know, whether its intentional or set up.
End of the day, its hard knowing that someone whom you looked upon as a friend, only treats you as a customer. Its not easy...

- Jong Ong Fact: why get angry over box condition unless you plan to resell. I've seen people inspect boxes as though they're inspecting diamonds with GIA certificates. Ridiculous
- Lim Li Chin I think randy post meant dun trust any seller to treat you as a friend ? Or dun put friend feeling in sellers ?
- Kay Aik Its buy sell so what do u expect?.do u need to care where is the source when u already agreed to the price??
- Kelvin Tan Maybe the Lego sit aeroplane to Singapore or hand carry to Singapore got difference in inherent value?
- Tommy Chan If it's same SKU the factory source is the same. Unless the buyer had specific liking to us or euro box lol

- Lai Mun Chun Haiz. Too many grey areas. Not happy don't buy lo. You as a buyer if want to breach trust or break agreement, go ahead. It's not like you bought it from a shop or anything.
- Stephan Wong Is there any different in quality for lego bought in Singapore and Msia? As long we happy and agreed on the price, why bother where it from and how much profit the seller made?
- Keat JL if already agreed on the price and box condition, why upset about the source of the Lego sets? hmmmm.... something must be wrong here....
- Andy Goh Or maybe the Air inside the box will smell different when you open it. That's why the buyer is upset.
- Randy Seah Kekeke if let say seller say help buyer purchase from local store, its helping. If buy from LLM, its profiting. You ppl see wrong place. Its not the box or air or fucking SKU. It's just about the fucking trust.
- Randy Seah If you are the seller and want to pull this kind of stunt, no one saying its wrong. After all, its just business. but you need to deal with it's consequence.
- Joseph Ho methinks Randy's point is the integrity of the information. since seller stated the source of the set. then sold a set with evidence its from a different source. then its just distasteful, and reflects badly on the integrity and mentality of the seller. why need to hide or distort such information. be upfront and state price. go LLM also incurs transport, TOLL, parking, and other fees and charges. nothing free lor.
- LEon Chen When there is buying and selling, there is no real friendship. It is a game. someone win, mean someone loses.
- David Lee Si Chuan Buying selling also got friendship one also leh.. Both agree both win both happy liao. Maybe buyer feels that he quite friend but the seller don't really feel up to friend friend.
- Randy Seah There are also situation when a "seller" sells his stuff to a fellow fan friend at friendly price. The buyer went to mark up 50% (which was still lower than market price) and sold it.
- Stephan Wong I beg to differ. I went to my friend stall for dinner, I paid full price but he got me some extra such as salad or baked potatoes. End of the day, both parties happy and not feeling bad is what really matters...
- Stephan Wong Randy Seah, everyone has a ruler with varies length. I tired to bring the theory to another level but you may not see. Even if my friend did not give me extra salad or potatoes. i will not feel bad either. This is when i talking on the friend level. Fo...See More
- Randy Seah give it a try. smile emoticon see if i can learn from it. if using hawker as base, its like, your friend tells you this fish is from kelong, but actually when you eat, you find that its from a fish farm. same same, but different different.
- Stephan Wong As long I enjoy what he cook. I won't bother where the fish from even if he tell me from kelong, when actually is from fish farm. So come back to lego, I won't even bother to ask as long I like the set.
- Stanley Lim KH so Randy Seah wats your point. are u the buyer or the seller. wat is cavet emptor? can we do a reality check on ourselves before we commit a purchase? even you dun want to buy just walk away loh.
- Randy Seah Stanley Lim KH> i.word.com/idictionary/caveat%20emptor please use simpler terms next time. Very chiem. Let me look through first.
- Vinson Philip Kang The buyer should thoroughly inspect the item before paying.
He shouldn't complain if he had already made payment and brought the item home. Blame it on his own bad luck.
- राजीव मिश्र Honestly though, we don't even know the full details of what happened. Lets not jump to conclusions and put it behind us. The lesson here is that if you have agreed on a price and condition, it doesn't matter how much the seller got it for and from where, unless the source was also agreed upon beforehand.
- Randy Seah we just need to analyse all possible situtations. not pin pointing ppl, but to let others have a better idea what to do when faced with same situation.
