Evan Almighty and His Toy Collection

Ebay haul for Lego & Technic

Technic 8109 Flatbed Truck 4 hour build

New release Lego 21307 Caterham Seven 620 R 2.5 hour build
This was a custom build by a perspm that Lego decided to produce

Both seem to go together


I have another truck to assemble

[Super]

Are you building some massive shelves in your family room to display all those huge Lego builds?

I gotta stop spending so I can finish our basement

[Super]

...Just refinish it with lego blocks.

Aren't there added fees to the FromJapan order?

Yes, but minimal, still cheaper than Hobby Search

Lego Technic 42008 Service Truck 6 hour build


My fingers are raw! lol

[Super]

Yes, but minimal, still cheaper than Hobby Search

Really? Wow, so minimal that the total would be cheaper than Hobby Search? How do they make any money?

You don't actually buy it from 'From Japan', you buy from Amazon.co.jp who have it on pre-order discount and ship internally free under 'Prime', so the only cost you have is the 200yen service charge then the actual international shipping which is one thing Hobby Search always spank you with in my experience. It seems everytime I buy things from HS the shipping is as much or more than the cost of the items I buy

[Super]

What!!! You mean that FromJapan only charges what amounts to the Bank Transfer Fee in Japan for a purchase and zero Fees or Commissions? Again...How do they make any money? LOL

My fingers are raw! lol

At least Evan is happy. That's all that matters now.
