I imagine they will be everywhere soon enough.
Meanwhile, I may be hitting the SW LEGO Event Horizon. Droid Escape and Endor Battle Pack done. BATTLE OF ENDOR partly done. I had to give up for the day when I was afflicted with LEGO blindness: I just couldn't tell the pieces apart anymore! They all looked the same!
Too much LEGO building in too short a period! AAARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

We had 4 cases of wave 6 minifigs on last week's truck. The manager decided to set them all out in a dump bin next to the big feature display at the front. 4 cases is 240 figures. They were all gone by the end of the day.
3 more cases put out today. Not sure how many will be left by Saturday.

I have never once seen LEGO minifigs in TRU Edinburger in the two years I've been out here. I don't think they sell them.

They must do. They are either hidden in a secret location somewhere in an obscure corner of the store (our display is next to Power Rangers for some reason) or they just sell out really fast.
Either that or they really don't get any because TRU Scotland's entire supply goes to us.

I have searched that store high and low many times. They never have them. Fortmax2002 has never seen them there either. This is why I tend to go to the supermarkets or John Lewis for minifigs.

Er... is anyone free the next couple of weekends? I may need some extra pairs of hands.I just worked out that by winning this on eBay rather than buying it on the Lego store and earning loyalty points (£100 spent = £5 off a later purchase- not amazing but better than Nectar points), I saved TWO POUNDS which I gave to NSPCC in the checkout. Woo. -Nick |

The resemblance is rather uncanny, isn't it? Oop- forgot to mention that today TRU is expecting in the region of 25 new Lego items. Super Heroes (the large build-a-figures, I guess), New Batman, new City stuff and the new Not Jurassic Park range. Expect them to be gone in a week. -Nick |

I must have a much higher paying job! In other news, BATTLE OF ENDOR set finished. Didn't really enjoy building the Bunker much. Not sure why though I suspect LEGO fatigue. Perhaps I have built too many sets in too short a period. I have HOME ONE left over from the recent mega haul. I think I shall put it to one side for a bit so I can enjoy building it properly. -Ralph |

It doesn't really hold together until you get the roof on. Having all the pistons flailing around for most of the build bugged me as well. That said, it does sound like you could use a break from the bricks. Until the Death Star gets here of course. Then you will be conscripted. -Nick |

The endor attack set and the one one number up are both half price at asda. £12 something. So tempted but I must behave.

Oh f***, I paid £21 quid for it on Thursday!
£12 something for more Ewoks is worth it.

264 pages? *swoon* That's no manual- it's a novel! Saw the new Batman, Superman and Not-Jurassic-Park sets in TRU today. We had the SW Planet minipacks as well. The rest of the new SW is apparently coming in on Monday. -Nick |
