This evening, the big and chunky City Mining 4200 truck was constructed. I felt like a man's man. Then the utterly fabulous AC Alien Mothership 7065 was built. Oh, that was fun to do. Yes indeed. Why did AC tank? I've picked up three AC sets now and loved them all! -Ralph As have I. 2 more to do inc the Mothership

In the absence of free Lego from a certain member of this forum who really should know better I must point out that the Entertainer, like TRU, now have Alien Conquest sets reduced.

Finally rooted through the box containing the Airport Shuttle Monorail set and got most of it built while watching the election coverage overnight. Missing quite a lot still, but most of it is standard bricks so should have replacements.

Everyone should own a Lego Dinghy. Fab piece. Finally got one in an old Polybag. I want more in different colours.
In other news my Pharoah's Quest Battlepack has arrived and it's great. (Missed out getting a Winged Mummy at Steam) Fab kit and I love the Sarcophagus

I got a small army build of the alien from Minifigs series 3 and commander from Alien Conquest. Will happily swap for S8 Santas.

In the absence of free Lego from a certain member of this forum who really should know better I must point out that the Entertainer, like TRU, now have Alien Conquest sets reduced. And that's one of my presents from my Mother sorted: a Jet Copter Encounter. £23 Kaptain. You're tempted aren't you?

I need all the Alien Conquest sets. I suspect I may grab the remaining ones over the next payday or two. I need the wee jeep one, the one with the blue copter thing, the tripod and the mobile hq.
I have the 2minifig set, the bagged chap with jetpack, the UFO Abduction and the Alien Mothership.

You need the tripod & HQ the most.

Perhaps, but I want them all as I love the ADU chaps and the different aliens have such great face sculpts. My favourite one so far is the one in the mini 2fig set. He looks so grumpy!
AC also activates the 'space Lego' burning sensation in my head...

a Jet Copter Encounter. £23 Kaptain. You're tempted aren't you? I would be lying - and without much credibility to it - if I said that I wasn't. That is a really good price for that set. Karl

It will be mine in time.
In other news, TESCO had the MF 9466 Crazy Scientist and His Monster down from £40 to £18. This was one of my 'to be acquired' sets anyway so very happy to see it so cheap.
I am going down the completist road on Alien Conquest and Monster Fighters...

I've had a look in both Tesco stores near me, regretably neither of them have that set. The Falkirk one is not carrying Monster Fighters at all, and the Polmont one has some other sets but not that one.
I have been doing another contract build for the LCPD this afternoon. They now have a new one-man helicopter for fighting crime. I don't know why I bother documenting the design and running training courses for the pilots though. You deliver it, remind them that it is rated as a one-man aircraft and the first thing that happens is that the Great Detective and a bike cop leap on the runners and the pilot blithely takes to the air.... LEGO Pilots, they all think that they are Wedge Antillies....

Indeed. In addition to the single-seater Police Helicopter I also carried out the construction of a Bin Lorry for the LEGO City Municipal Refuse Department - and a most excellent vehicle it is too, what with its rear-tipper section and working device for for tipping the bins into the back. It is an very environmentally sound kit as well - coming with a green bin for foodwaste and a grey one for general waste so that they can be collected separately.

I have received two of the mining theme freebie kit from the Sun promotion. They were going for £1 each so I thought "why not?". Minimal, but still quite nice and my stocks of Lego dynamite are growing.

It's a fab set possibly my fave of the recent freebies

I love the mining theme almost as much as the space one and would buy all of it if I had the time/space/money.
Shame the poly-bagged satellite never got a release.
