I must have Jabba's Palace and the Rancor Pit so that I can get the Sail Barge. I only have the Skiff!

Jabba's palace sits in front of me on the table not 5 inches away from the iPad as I type this!

Well, that City stuff does sound a bit more interesting than the fire/police stuff that had already been revealed. Looking forward to seeing the monster truck!

Ralph had Chrimbo cash from Parentals so Ralph went to John Lewis at lunchtime and got Jabba's Palace.
Then Ralph saw that the Batcave was on sale and there was only one left so Ralph red hazed and got that too. Ralph now poor again.

It's okay Ralph. You can take Jabba's Palace back for a refund, since I got you one on behalf of the Scots crew when I was in the States. We were hoping to surprise you with it at Hubmanay.
EDIT: If you don't have the receipt or just don't want to take it back, I can eBay this one and send you the money. Whatever you want, Doc.

Fuck. Balls. Ah. Well.
Er, I have it now and who knows where I threw the receipt in my excitement. I shall allow someone else on the team to have Jabba fun with the other one then. Maybe you could all put your hand into a thing with a creature of death inside it. Like that bit with Peter Duncan in Flash Gordon.

The point at which I became aware of this plan was 5 minutes after Ralph had texted me to say he'd bought it!

It's all good. I forsee many amusing jolly japes at New Year to see who gets the other one. I must devise...a challenge...

In other news, John Lewis had a big display of the Chima stuff. Can't say it appeals to me at all. Plenty of Hobbit stuff except for the 'Unexpected Gathering' set ie Bilbo's House. Not surprising as that is the one everyone will want!

I keep meaning to look at the hobbit & lotr sets and work out which figures are in which sets and what's the minimum number of sets you need for a complete Fellowship and 12 Dwarfs

Go on Ralph, tear the house up! It's like an episode of Finder's Keepers! Only with Turnbull instead of Neil Buchanan

Let American Jabba be an amusing prize for some jolly jape. These things happen. -Ralph

I couldn't stop Ralph, as my phone had crapped out at that point and I was on my way to work after Scotrail hell.

Reading through your buying history Ralph, I believe I can offer a single piece of advice that would significantly help your sanity and probably your finances in the coming year.
Keep your receipts somewhere safe. I'm sure this is the third or fourth time this year a lack of receipt has cost you.
Less fun than new year games, but if you kept it for a couple of years then sold it it would probably pay for a years worth a lego purchases.
No lego bought for me for a while now. The advent calendar kept me happy through December it seems. I still have three of four sets to build too. I even passed on two unopened LOTR lego sets at a car boot sale a few weeks back. both were mine or cave type sets with dwarves and ogres for the most part. Looked nice but I'm all about the saving right now.

On a lighter note, it's out! New Arkham AsylumIt's a big set. Not as big as the original, but I think it's got a higher piece count. -Nick

It's highly impractical for me to store such a large box for years (I lack the space) and I generally disapprove of selling on gifts. I shall gift it to someone else in the spirit in which it was purchased. That seems to be the only logical solution in this instance. In other news, series 9 minifigs have hit Sainsburgeries. I netted the mermaid and the Mech! I sense many more Mechs in my future. I must...raise...an...army... -Ralph

The Shuttle is an excellent set, didnt realise it was that pricey though. Is that mark up or retail price?
