Wange 6213 & 6225 Manuals as PDF

Hello, I am new to Reddit, but I hope that someone can help me with my request.

I have to sets from Wange with no manual. The first one is 6213 (St. Basil´s Cathedral) and the second one is Colloseum (6225). Maybe someone can send me a link to one of the manuals...

Thanks

Selling Whole Collection (Kits & Minifigs) Follow up post

This is a follow up post to one I made a few months ago originally listing my collection. Thank you to everyone who bought something the first time around.

I’m looking to sell my entire Brickmania collection. The items in the picture are what is left from my original post. Every kit and minifigure was built and put on display on shelves so they are all in good condition.

Each kit has its original box and instructions and is complete. The only kit without its original packaging is the LRV.

Each minifigure has its original clamshell and is complete with accessories. The only exception is the Apollo and Gemini astronauts don’t have their clamshells.

Prices for everything pictured:

T-34 Fighting Girlfriend $190

T-18M $100

T-28 $170

Sherman $150

Panzer II $160

Panzer III $200

Panther A $460

BMP-2 $240

T-64BV $270

Vostok 6 $260

Titan II $100

LRV $60

Each minifig is $20 and the adventures pack is $90

Additionally the ME-262, A6M Zero, Su-122, T-34/84, and Bell X-1 where built from digital instructions I’m also looking to sell these so if you are interested just reach out and we can work out pricing.

Please reach out to me with a DM if you’d like to purchase anything or want any additional pictures and we can workout pricing and shipping.

Thanks for taking a look.

Some Custom LEGO money-saving tactics lifehacks that I use (and preferably you should too)

Being isolated in the Philippines wherein LEGO and custom LEGO is very expensive with shipping fees worth the product, here's some of our tactics in order to save money:

  • Wait for a relative living in the U.S., UK, Europe, or Australia to return or if a friend/family member goes abroad. Have the minifigures shipped to their address and let them carry it on their luggage. In that way, one bypasses the expensive shipping fees and taxes when shipping to another country.
  • Scour the pre-owned market: Be it here, FB groups, or Discord. You may get good deals or even steal prices. I'm already at this phase of clamshell packaging be damned. I usually avoid eBay, knowing how notorious that platform is for scalpers and greedy resellers that mark up the price.
  • Regional resellers: Being in Asia, Momcom (Japan) and Ministry of Arms (Singapore) is my best bet to escape the expensive shipping fees. I've recently used Zen Market - a third party forwarder based in Japan - to look for some militaria and some custom LEGO. The shipping is acceptable to say from Japan to my country.

One would say to use the sales Brickmania offers from time-to-time, but to my dismay, the sales are just evened out by the tax and shipping.

What other money-saving tactics do you use?

Review TK2 Jagdtiger

My first review.

Great overall quality. TK2's bricks just seem,.. crisper? Cleaner? They fit and grip better with less flash and mold marks than others. The included instructions are clear and easy to follow. Mind you I've built 20+ kits over the past 9 months. I'm getting used to looking out for "trouble" spots/techniques so "easy" to follow now may have been a bit frustrating when beginning months ago. I love the included sort bins. Don't like NO minifigures. I was missing ONE part that turned out to be special to this kit. Well I've not seem them anywhere else. It's a very thin sharply angled 1 stud wide tile that is 2 studs long but is totally flush on the bottom side over just the angled area. That missing piece prompted my search light mod next to the commander's hatch.

The build went great. It's so interesting to see the different approaches/ techniques and sometimes, special parts that are used to achieve the desired effect and how there seem to be similarities within the same brand. TK2 loves to do the 1X1 slanted tile bricks to achieve shape and exterior appearance. To do the same thing, 12GO uses an entirely different approach. I didn't mind the tedious nature of all those bricks. My OCD reveled in the chance to perfectly align each piece. I want to point out 2 things: First, when they call out a 1X1 tile with a right angle up or down side stud, you MUST pay attention to if it is a middle stud or high (right angle up) or low (right angle down) stud. Some brands in their instructions will provide a pop out with close-ups of the "use this, not this" parts. TK2 doesn't do this. If you look closely at the instructions you can see the differences. Do it wrong and things don't fit. Second, the road wheels are NOT the same on both sides. One side has a raised hub. The other side does not. I did not find out if this was critical or not. I followed the directions and everything works with no clearance issues. You are told to used 60 track links per side but that is WAY loose. 59 works perfectly. The track droops just a little behind the drive wheel. I think 58 links would have it taught light a bow string. But those 2 extra links gave me 6 total spare. Now I can mount those on the casemate sides like you see in almost EVERY historical picture. A little disappointed that wasn't addressed in this kit (as it is in their winter SO4 Tiger 1). Also wished they included an antenna. The interior is fantastic. Particularly the gun carriage and breech. It's linked to the exterior barrel for elevation but sadly no traverse (as limited as it would have been anyway). The only interior spaces that will accommodate minifigures (without major mod/removal of details) is the driver & radio operator/bow gunner's locations. I'm not bothering with that as the opening (covered by a swivel hatch) is only 1 x 2 wide. All you'd see looking in from above is the top of the minifigures head. I like the included exterior things that seem to be hung onto/strapped onto tanks in RL conditions. Particularly what I think is their interpretation of a jack mounted on the rear lower plate below the exhaust.

Overall I'm very please and impressed. I think it looks spectacular.

Rant

How the actual fuck do people spend 800 goddamn dollars on Lego helicopters and not become homeless? Like it’s cool and all but 700 dollars for a limited kit that will return in about a year as ANOTHER DAMN LIMITED is complete and utter bullshit. Dan, if you are reading this, lower your prices. Or shove a live grenade down your throat. Preferably both.
