Think I might pick up a cheap Chima set this weekend. Probably Crawley's Claw Ripper.
I find the "good" tribes quite silly-looking, while the "bad" tribes look predictably awesome.

I don't know, man. If I had to choose an order, it'd be:
Crocs > Wolves & Ravens > Eagles > Lions
Just look at this crazy motherfucker:

Meh just got back from a Toy store, they had a bunch of Atlantis sets for sale there, never saw these in stores before, those are an old theme though right?
Nothing else really caught my eye except for the Wampa Cave set which i would have gotten purely for the snowspeeder BUT at 70 something bucks i was like nahhhhhh.

The Temple was the best looking set from that line.

The white one you mean? Yeah they had it for like 80 bucks i believe... Problem is i really couldn't relate much to those minifigs

You'll want it for the grooved pillars. Best new brick since the brick pattern ones.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So... the modular sets vs. architect sets - which are better in detail and interior stuff?

Needs flat plates for the top and then you could build more shelf space to display more Lego.
This seems neat for decoration.

that large lego looks awesome!
anyway back on track...
frack frack frack, why couldnt I listen to phoncible, I knew I was tempting fate when I went into town...
50% off
and just to put it into perspective in the background you can see my current/former flat...
the worst part is I probably wont even unpack and build it now..

Unfortunately it's also very expensive! http://shop.legoeducation.com/gb/product/lego-soft-starter-set-45003-183/
And seems very safe for young kids.

Wtf. That's $666 for 84 pieces?

I think it's mainly for educational institutions. They always pay through the nose for stuff. Plus, that's a lot of rubber.

It looks like its around $8-$10 usd per brick!!!

under the magic 10 ppb (price per brick) xD
Can someone let me know if they spot one of these in the UK? Especially in London, would love to get my hands on one!

Nice Winnie, especially the second one
Love that Batman minifig.
So do i
)Unfortunately you can see the "stand" i used for Supes but it was pretty hard to get him to stand in the right angle otherwise
*cough* http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/james-may-lego
But the big bricks are pretty cool for decoration/practical use around the house.
I have a spare policeman, Judge and chicken suit if any UK Gaf wants to trade.
I should probably post my glow in the dark SSD here :O
With lights off it looks just like a regular in broad daylight.
Currently standing in my bedroom, it's going to get a nice stand whenever I move into my own place, though. Should probably do something about the overwhelming red light before then.

For anyone with TMNT sets, the LEGO mini-site has a bunch of alternative builds with PDF instructions for each.
They can be found at Donnie's Lab.
Exactly!! XD
The Michelangelo vehicles look nice.

Is there a simple, small scale Lego solution to put some lights into my Bag End? I'm guessing I would need two or three yellow lights in there to make some good ambience, and it would be nice if I didn't have to solder up some custom wiring.

Just got a couple miniseries 8 figs today, and i was pretty lukewarm on this one, so i was even more surprised to find the... Conquistador in one of the bags and LOVING the guy!! So wonderfully detailed and noble looking! Can't wait to use him in an MOC...
Those lights look very useful! Thanks for posting that...

Got married a couple months ago and at our head table we had the bride and groom from Town Hall:
Only problem was we lost the groom Is there anyway I can replace him? I'm sure I could find the top hat from another set but is that torso hard to get without buying another Town Hall?

And congrats man
This seemed like a fun way to spend a cold Saturday evening indoors:
Also picked up some of the new Friends sets.
Emma's Katate Class is AMAZING. It comes with a katana and kendo helmet. Badass.
That Mia's Magic Tricks set has a cool "hand of cards" printed piece that I would love to have a few of.
I've been thinking of picking up "Stephanie's Soccer Practice" for my son for the soccer ball. For $10, it's going to be cheaper than Bricklink'ing a soccer ball from an older set, and he would get 75+ more useful elements (though he's not impressed by the Friends minifigs)

Wow, thanks for the link. I'm definitely getting some lights, just gonna figure out how many I need. But a brick for each of the display sets I have planned shouldn't be too much.

I wouldn't worry about it... the X-wing you ordered is the best one yet IMO, and who knows what this new one is - it probably won't be released until summer anyway.

Hmmm, alright then, i would probably get it regardless but i am trying to fill out my collection of different ships first before i start on doubles
Also: Does anyone have some tips on what sets to get if i want to get into foliage and trees etc? Are there no complete sets for this kind of stuff kind of like there are for windows/doors and red roofpieces?
