It is rather fantastically daft. I kind of like the slightly off the wall concept of Nexo-knights. That said, I can more see Fortrex being a useful source of spares for other designs (Bless LEGO for the spares service, and making available the parts that you can't get from Pick-a-Brick) than something I'm actually going yo buy to build in it's entirety.

Burns confirms my thoughts that this is like Lego Visionaries. Those minifig shields look like they could even be holographic. *dons moustache and cracks whip*

*tinker, tinker, tinker* been working on one of my ongoing projects today. Was never happy with the Autocannon mount on my unchristened assault mech. I've come up with a lower-profile design for the cannon, which should not only allow a lower-profile housing but also allow me to make it interchangeable with a different design fairly easy so the design ends up being able to represent two different variants. Now, the question is can I come up with a suitable gauss-rifle looking design for mounting...

It's rather too far/pricey to get to for a casual browse/small purchase.

Those Nexo Knights sets do look pretty good. I wonder if there'll be a Chima-like mag to go with them (I presume that's ending in December).

I am enjoying the monsters set of minifigs immensely. Seriously hurting my wallet though...

It's rather too far/pricey to get to for a casual browse/small purchase. -Ralph You're not missing anything mate, it's been rubbish any time I've been in. It's fine for a wander in to gawp at the displays but their selection of stuff has never been great. There's a full wall of the loose bricks, 75% of the rest is taken up with kids sets (as you would probably expect) and there's only a couple of units that have the stuff adult collectors would be interested in. The last time I was in one of the units was taken up exclusively by the Death Star and R2D2 sets. In other news, I built my first ever Lego kit from scratch the other day, the rubbish Scooby Doo Mummy Mystery one, I used it as an add on when it was a fiver to get free delivery on something else. It was surprisingly therapeutic, I'd always imagined it would be frustrating but I think the key is to split the pieces into individual piles as it suggests.

Picked up an annoyingly incomplete Millenium Falcon and X Wing during the week. The big ones. The X Wing I dont mind so much as I already have one and I think all the missing parts I can replace easy enough. The Falcon though is missing the whole cockpit section as well as some roof panels and one of the two pointy out bits on the front. I should be able to replace those too except for the canopy. I have a canopy but I think for the smaller release. Grrr.
Then I saw the new Millenium Falcon release, which is pretty much the same, but with the new cast and my annoyance grew.

that ghostbusters house is amazing, £274 quid tho is insane 4634 pieces and 12 minifigs/ghosts. Yes it is expensive (I can't afford one) but compared to other big Lego sets it at least packs a lot in for the price-point. -Ralph

Just skip buying food that month and subsist by licking the dew that collects on the Ghostbuster's station walls.
