Ralph told me about the cheap Dinos. And sent me tempting pictures. He is to blame

Piked myself up another Space Girl mini-figure this morning. I figure that one of them can wear the helmet, and the other the hair and they can team up with my flight-pack equipped ADU trooper and the Galactic Patrol guy to bring peace and law to the spaceways.
No Alien, Robot, Space-pirate or human can escape Justice now. Even a Robot-Ninja-SpacePirate-Monkey would be hard pressed to evade this long arm of the law.

Reports of a £25 TRU Y-Wing and a massive sale in ASDA are reaching my ears from the edinburgh area. And of Burns fleeing a store to avoid spending any more money

It's true. The ASDA Superstore had a sale on every range of Lego: Star Wars, City, Dino, Monster Fighters, Lord of the Rings, etc. Some fairly decent discounts on some sets. I had to flee before I blew my load on cheap LEGO. I almost lost my mind, especially as they had quite a few sets going cheap which I have had my eyes on.
However, I had just picked up the SW Y-Wing for £25 in TRU. Much better than the stupid £60 they had been flogging it for in the past year and half the actual proper RRP of £50!
In other news, Smyths and TRU have Jabba's Palace down to £100. Still too rich for my blood though. Knock another £20 off and I'll consider it.
Right. That is the last of the LEGO for me this year. Plenty of sets yet to build:
SW Y-Wing. MF Crazy Scientist and His Monster. MF Ghost Train. Dino T-Rex Attack.

It's great to hear about so many Lego price reductions and promotions. They used to be a rigid constant in TRU, price-wise. Nice catch on the Y-wing, Doc!

TIE Fighter is down to £32 on Amazon. A steal at that price! The City Fire Plane is down to £25.
In other news, Lego have announced a Lone Ranger theme!

I've checked the Wiki. Head is different expression from the Veers minifig.

Where do I start? Already got a rebel pilot and tie pilot from the Complete Galaxy line. That's not R4-P17. Despite the name Obi-Wan's R4-P17 is a round headed astromech and is white & red (Astromech's should all have domes corresponding to numbers: R2 - Round R3 - Round and clear R4 - High cone R5 - Cone with 3 small eyes Unfortunately Lucas' naming of this droid F***ed up the convention) There's a Fleet Trooper in the Advent Callender so as it stands the only set that's really worth me having is the B-Wing. But I will of course buy them all! 75006 Jedi Starfighter & Planet Kamino now has correct droid: lego.wikia.com/wiki/75006_Jedi_Starfighter_%26_Planet_Kamino75007 Republic Assault Ship & Planet Coruscant now comes with Clone, not Clone Pilot lego.wikia.com/wiki/75007_Republic_Assault_Ship_%26_Planet_Coruscant75010 B-wing Starfighter & Planet Endor has a new version of the B-Wing Pilot lego.wikia.com/wiki/75010_B-wing_Starfighter_%26_Planet_Endor

I approve. Can't wait to get the mini B-Wing. The large one is somewhat out of my price range.
