It has been paid for already. Guess I need to call ebay.
Made this little MOC with a few pieces at hand:
How the dwarfs get their goods to the local Medieval Market Village.
Hahaha, I loved that! Good chuckle
Had a great day out at legoland 'star wars invasion'. they had the UK stormtrooper garrison walking around in costume, and when you see 10-20 stormtroopers walking towards you, its pretty impressive. The Star Wars miniland is really nice but fairly small - 7 dioramas to look at, and its quite dark in there, so photography is difficult.
A few shots from today:
Episode II:
episode III:
Episode IV: Millenium falcon taking off from Mos Eisley. It was HUGE
Episode VI: Battle of Hoth
Lord Vader surveying the damage
Episode VI: Imperial Shuttle on Endor
misc:
remote controlled R2-D2
Ewok in the enchanted forest
Desert Trooper(?) and Land Speeder
The Empire on the march

i seriously doubt that the parts will break, lego is pretty robust, and I cant see technics being any different

At the flea market and there are 2 nanoblock sets in box for $7 each. Is that a good deal? Pretty sure I'm going to pick them up. Another booth has build your own mini fig for $2 a piece with tons of options but I'm not into minifig collecting.
I like the bagpiper's underwear underneath his kilt.

Technics can definitely snap or bend. It's probably not as easy to have it happen by disassembling a set. I recently replaced some fishbones from my Silver champion as they had snapped. Also had some technic pieces inside my Star Destroyer destroy themselves over time by bending.
Technics are a bit more delicate than normal bricks, but not brittle enough to compare to say a normal model.
Wow, fantastic review. Quite a few neat new pieces. The little lego laptop is brilliant! And I tend to feel this way about every new minifig series, but this one does look the best yet. The hippie, bunny man, and little red riding hood are must-gets.

The Nanoblock sets are a good deal, yeah. I have like, 7 sets now, and the minimum you'll pay is like $12 for a box (via Amazon). Retail is $15.
Yup. It seems that the minfig series is going to cover every space theme. Hopefully they make Zotaxian.

Love that Brick Show main guy, he looks and sounds like the exact opposite of someone who has anything to do with Lego, and that's what makes him so fun to watch It's like a bulky pro wrestler from texas is reviewing Barbie toys.
Absolutely no offense intended, you know what I mean

I ended up getting the 2 sets for a total of $12 thanks to a little haggling. And a guy had a booth with all the modules and a few it looked like he built himself like a bank and a cinema. His prices were fair with a boxed fire brigade for $140 and the black pearl for $80.

Which Nanoblock sets did you get???

Man, I'm heavily debating right now on whether or not to get an X-Wing set or Mass Effect 3. My life is slowly becoming reconsumed by my childhood desire of Lego again mostly from this thread and from Tested.
If anyone is interested in City stuff, I picked up an extra 7207 Fire Boat for $60 on clearance. (Picked up one for myself and one extra. Had to at that price since they've been OOP for a few months now.)
I'm happy to sell it for cost plus shipping, so just shoot me a PM if interested =)

Some have reported some pretty long waits. It took mine maybe 7-10 days or so when I had a missing piece to a set.
Ordered the Fire Brigade a couple of weeks ago from Lego.com when the double-points sale was going on. And just ordered the Grand Emporium from Toys R' Us w/ free shipping and 10% off. I don't know when I'll get around to building them, since I don't have any real place to display them. But... Just knowing I will have them waiting to be built at some point... mhmm.

Dammit. Toys R Us just fired up their B2G1 50% off sale. I just spent so much money, I dont want to spend more but that deal is fucking great. And sure enough, Grand Emporium and Pet Shop are out of stock. I will be watching all week for them to reappear.
EDIT: Fuck it. The sale is frequent enough I can wait. I need to remember that I am broke now after this last month of Lego purchases.
EDIT 2: Damn. It looks like the 10% off sale AND the b2g1 50% off sale combines. That is some crazy good pricing on stuff.

Bone posts this, I go to the TRU website to place my order, Tower Bridge says "in stock online", place items in my cart, click checkout, "Tower Bridge is no longer available". =(

Seems like the modulars and Tower Bridge are only being sold in stores. Personally I wish the site had a in-store stock availability link

I ran across this set again today while browsing YouTube vids.

Another 10000 series model that is along the same line as the T1 Van. I remember the Taj Mahal back when it was available, but this one seems to have slipped my mind. Cool looking nonetheless!

Nice, though I think I'll only be importing 1 or 2 boxes this time, I'm still sitting on 7 complete sets of series 6, 2 sealed boxes and about 50 spares that I can't sell. Not sure why but last series no one was buying.

Surely people are buying up all the Roman Soldiers they can? And Lady Liberty seems to be the most expensive figure.

Horrible looking model.
Well I'm selling them as complete sets and once you make 3 complete sets per box there's no more remaining soldiers or statues or liberties. :/

That Beetle is hideous! Way too blocky, the hood doesn't even look finished.

Meh, I like it. It's not the BEST representation out there (a lot of cutoms are better), but it's such a unique looking set. To each their own.

Moai Statues of Easter Island and Neuschwanstein Castle. I built the Moai set last night and it was pretty fun but I'd say over 80% of the build was the 3 statues so it was repetitive. The teeny tiny bricks were really cute and good quality. I'm looking forward to building the castle soon.

I haven't bought the Easter Island heads yet, but I have that castle AND the ...Deluxe Edition that I'm really excited to build. I'll keep an eye out for the Moai statues, though - I really want them!
