I never gave it much thought at the time, but I suppose there is a lot of "Arabian Nights" tropes buzzing around Tatooine. I take this group's points, but I think their anger is misdirected. Surely they should be taking their complaint to Skywalker Ranch (or the House of Mouse) who selected the building and designed the characters in the first place.

Personally I think it's utter bollocks.

On the one hand a great shame, but on the other hand it gives me time this end of the year for some SW and City sets.... Karl Yep. Plenty of other themes to intrest me in the meantime! Chima is Lego's Big Thing for the year so it makes sense to push Galaxy Squad back a bit. If it was put out now it would struggle for shelf space and attention. -Ralph

The wee Chima minifig I have is called Ewar.
Sadly there is no Chima minifig called Woowar.

Completed book 1 (of 4) of helms Deep. First big set I've ever built from new. Not searching through giant boxes of used lego to find the next bit is a very pleasant change.

That took longer than I thought. 4 hours later and Helms Deep is done. I can't really wrap my head around a £100 set of Lego or even the £50 I spent, but it is one hefty lump and a lot of fun. I was expecting lots of panels for the walls so finding myself building most of them with bricks was a pleasant surprise. I think the tower with its buttresses might be my favourite bit.

I had planned a Lego holiday until March but Uncle Phil has brought me a series 9 heroic knight (who will team up with the Kingdoms knight who came with the blacksmith sets against the 4 evil black knights from an earlier series) and a Chima polybag, which is Ewar on some flying vehicle!

My Quinjet is in Swindon! Liz is fetching it.
Did you know John Lewis shop at home will deliver to your local store? And they take Paypal! So if the Burger store doesn't have a reduced item and the website does you can have it there in a few days and they'll hold it seven days till you can collect.

Thoroughly good news on the DVDs. Can see myself springing for those in due course. Liking the idea of a LEGO shop under an hour from my house. It could come in very handy.
Think I have decided which large kits I am going to snag next - John Lewis has the Water-bomber marked down, and the local Toymaster has the Striker for a tenner of what Smyths want for it. Those should do nicely for the next couple of weekends.

Toys Galore had the Spider-Man with the wrong Nick Fury set and the amusing Arctic Batman V Mr Freeze and Aquaman sets in. Look fun but I shall pass.

Good stuff!
Lego has expanded in my local Sainsburgeries. Some of it is the usual toy aisle (first sighting for me of some of the 2013 City stuff and they now have the new 2013 SW battlepacks) and some of it is in a seasonal promo aisle (where the reduced SW Strikers now live) and there was also an end-cap display of mining sets (at 25% off) but annoyingly not the big mine set.

As was inevitable I have purchased an A-Wing this weekend. It was going to be constructed this evening but I have been distracted speaking to my sister on the 'phone, so it looks like it will be parked away for the coming weekend.

He will take his place in the living room next to the command chair once the box is open. Need a proper flag officer to mind the fleet when I am not on watch.

The Quinjet is completed...... and TBH it's the biggest pile of Meh since I started rebuilding Lego.
The build was nice, and the fuselage build was fun.... but the drone launcher is a waste of space and the wing tips are rubbish. There's some heft to it yet but compare to the Rancor or the Dino HQ it's a complete no brainer.

One less SW Striker in Sainsburgeries today. Has the Kaptain struck?

You know. Now that I have an A-Wing sitting awaiting construction it just pretty much seals the fact that at some point this year I will likely be picking up a Tie Fighter.... To quote Suzanne Vega "And so it goes..."

Get the older X-Wing if you can it's better and has a better figure selection?
