Just calm down and give the picture a scrutiny.......dont let your impulse control your behavior....clicking the bid or buy button.

I think it is true the sellers can do whatever they want as long as he/she is not misrepresenting, so we really have to be careful. I earlier bought a klicky off from ebay and only one sleeve is included....ironically....there is really just one single sleeve shown on the picture. That is my fault. Luckily we have DS service.

Talk about those rare parts. Sometimes I just convince myself, Geobra is gonna make something new and I dont need the old items and skip that :-[ Remorse does haunt sometimes though.

Nothing, nothing, nothing can be more annoying than when sellers have like several rare/of interest sets, and they end up splitting them between several different auction lots

Arrrrggghhhh!!! >:( >:( >:(

It makes me have to spend so much money some times, but most of the time I don't bother buying any :no:

What, do you have a DS service in HK?  :o

This month I am going on a tour of the Malta factory, somebody gave me that for my bday. Ill see if I can ask people about that, cause I can't believe for a moment that there is no such service here, the birthplace of the klickies.

I don't know. You just ask I suppose. They do the tours twice a day if I remember what was written on the card correctly. I hope I'll be able to ask them some grown-up questions while I'm there ... I hope it will not be something dumbed down for the kids.

As for lose parts and stuff, I am tired of sayng - on this forum - that I haven't seen any of those in years. It's a bit like those poor migrants in the 1800s thinking that the streets from the port to the city would be teeming with gold coins  :P

Now that is one thing that truly annoys me. I have seen so many auctions were the seller sells a set in a job lot and on a seperate auction are all the structural parts to the set. I have seen it with the Snow Labs, the Colorado station and even the black floor pieces for the Steck train station.

Last month I saw the auction for the 4300 and it went for a premium price, something a collector would pay but the thing was the black floor was not in the pictures. On a seperate auction there was the black floor with a starting price of $25 that would have completed the set and it did not sell ? ?

I wonder this because there are so many customizers in here who never seem to be able to leave any klicky or building in its original state
I'm afraid I fall into this category . . . just can't leave well enough alone.   :-[
