I'm liking the Batcave more and more as I play about with it. It's definitely a grower and Bane's tank and the Batcycle are brill. Currently, several series 8/9 minifigs are attacking it. They are Bane's army! -Ralph I made Bane break the Batman! Best set ever. -Ralph

I was near Smyths on my lunchbreak. The shop was in the midst of being restocked and the 2013 sets were being out out, ie the Not-Springer Creator robot, the new 'bricks and more' sets and all the new SW stuff. I must have the Rancor Pit, A-Wing (Ackbar Wing!), Old Republic Sith Trooper battle pack, the new Clone dudes battle pack, the Clone Atst thing, etc! Only thing I did not see were the planets series 3 sets though I imagine they were put out not long after!

I will tell you how. Listen to Ralph.
The minifig you got came with a leaflet. One side pictures all the minifigs. Ignore this side. The other side has pics of the individual parts. You will see pictured very handily in a row all the 'unique' parts ie a jetpack or a club or a helmet. Put these shapes into your mind. Think hard about how they might feel in your hand.
Then decide which specific figure you will go for when you approach a box of packaged minifigs and feel only for the unique piece that is part of that figure. Do not try to feel for multiple figures at the same time. Feel for one figure all through the box then start again for any other desired figure, and so on.
You now know what to do.

This skater is TERRIBLE. Looking at the leaflet , it is by far the worst figure.

And yet I have just given you wisdom. No more will you get the minifigs you do not want! Now only the desired gems will be yours! My method works! Forum members have seen it in action right before their eyes!

This method is pish if your sensorary perception is fooked and fingers don't work well :-(
I will resort to ebay.
And you need the Knight

The Knight is great, he makes a great opponent to fight the cyclops and his big club.

I have several minifigs from S9 now, thanks to a rather good WH Smith offer. Still no Roller Derby Lass. <sigh>
Sherlock was fun though.
<edit>Today I followed the good Doctors advice and felt many packets. I now proudly own Roller Derby Girl. It works! It really works!

Went into Tesco in hope of spotting a Hulk Breakout set for £25 even though it has never previously sold it. Instead came home with £49 Battle of Helms Deep.

FFS! I checked every Tesco in the Burger for a cheap Helms Deep! -Ralph Did you check the price? In my Tesco when I saw it last week, they were still listed at £80, but I think they had actually been reduced to £50 even then because they all vanished within a day. Not sure where the one I got today came from but there was no SEL at all for it but the price check came up at £49. If any of your Tesco have them left might be worth double checking the price.

That was last year Andy that they were £25.... or have more turned up since? Need a cheap Quinjet Someone over at TFW mentioned £25 Breakout sets, but I dont know if he meant recently, but given that Tesco have reduced almost all the expensive sets aside from the new Hobbit stuff I figured if Tesco happened to have any instock they would be most likely be reduced too. Has the Quinjet been available cheap? Saw my friends back in the summer, it looks great, one of the few sets I would buy for the vehicle as much as the minifigs.

The quinjet is indeed a very nice set- a fun build with many groovy play features. However at 70 quid they were having a giraffe. Definitely worth a look on sale. It's also the only way to get the Black Widow if you're after a full set of Avengers.
