I may have a couple in a few weeks too (for possible swaps). Depends when The Sun promotion starts sending the Lego out.

I have parts of both the Hogwarts Express and more excitingly the 2004 Millennium Falcon, hoping to find more in the big box.

Bit of a result on the Lego front today. We wanted to get Jonathan a box of just bricks for Christmas. I saw this in ASDA a week or so ago: lego.wikia.com/wiki/5749_LEGO_Creative_Building_Kit 650 pieces for £31. It rang up at the till for £24! Gonna get him the boxes of wheels, roof tiles & Windows & doors to go with it.

Assembled (no pun intended) the Avengers Quinjet and Hulk Breakout sets over the last couple of weeks. They're decent enough wee sets, but if I had paid UK retail for them I'd be mad as hell about how small they are. I think back to the vast Star Wars vehicles like the Star Destroyer and the Tantive IV and wonder if their like will ever come again.
And then I think "Of course they will. They'll just be crazily expensive".

I got Hulk Breakout cheap from Tescos some while back ( see upthread) and wasn't impressed with the value for money then. There seems to be less brick to your £/$ on the licensed sets anyway

Indeed there is.
RE: Hulk Breakout and Quinjet. I have not picked them up as yet as they don't look like they have enough bricks for the RRP. I hope to grab them in future sales/promotions. I want the Spidey set just for Iron Fist but only Smyths seems to stock it and it's a bit of a trip to get there!
Haven't picked up any of the Dino stuff. However, like Monster Fighters, it has been discontinued so I expect to see it being clearanced soon...

Gruffy, if there is anything that deserves a "We Endanger Species" nose-art it is a Blacktron ship with a Raptor pilot. Well done sir! Haven't picked up any of the Dino stuff. However, like Monster Fighters, it has been discontinued so I expect to see it being clearanced soon... They've been discontinued? That is rather a shame. I quite liked the look of some of the stuff but haven't had a chance to buy any yet. Ah well, if they do clearance it then may be the time to pounce on a few things. Mind you, one of the Old Republic ships is currently down to 30 quid in Smyths and looks quite tempting at that price as well... Karl

The Dinosaurs themselves are most wonderful fun.

A reference book for the blind-pack Mini-figures? Sold!
I spent some of this evening building the LEGO City Police Heavy Lift Helicopter. A really fun kit to build. Very rewarding to see it come together. The minifigures are great as well - two cocky pilot types wearing different types of sunglasses, and a forest Ranger with a grim "this is serious bizznis" expression and a natty hat.

Series 8 alien queen picked up at the weekend. It is obviously from an AC set that never saw the light of day (same alien design asthetic) so it is a welcome addiction to the ranks.

Which reminds me. I picked up a S8 minifig on the way home this evening and haven't opened it yet! Must have a look see what it is.
*elevator music*
GOOOOOD MOOOOOORNING LEGOCITY!
It is the DJ. Not bad - still only got one double so far from S8 so I'm fairly happy with that. May have to go on the secondary market for an Alien Queen however - need one to menace my current Alien Defence Force of one Space Marine and an ADU flightpack trooper.

The Queen is easy to feel for, for she has the solid traingular base rather than the traditional two legs. You can also feel the distinctive brain shape.

That looks like a good follow-on from Alien Conquest! I can think of crossover opportunities!

Promotion on Lego.com this weekend. Significance of promotion varies with spend. If you had your eye on something big and aren't confident of finding it on sale at John Lewis, now might be the time to jump in. -Nick
