Tesco have the ATRT at £13.50 and probably the Awing is a third off too.

Yet to see an A-Wing in Tesco at all. Did notice the cheap AT-RT though, but was beaten to the Forum. :- )

Tesco here are loaded with them but they are doing a really bad job pricing lego right now, I've seen as many as three different prices for the same sets as the moment.

Falkirk Tesco is fairly idiosyncratic in what they actually get in. Usually if I am looking for toys or Lego I take a walk up the canal to the one in Polmont which has a better selection. They don't tend to have mutiple wrong prices in Falkirk though - the more usual issue, when there is one, is a lack of any shelf-tag at all leaving the price a strange and impenetrable mystery.

Liz is away this week so I've been building the Battle of Hoth set I'd not got round to.
Now when there's something in a set there's two of I tend to build them at the same time. Ditto something that's a mirror image of another piece, like wings.
One of the Snowspeeder's wings is in the bag with the cockpit. The other is in a different bag. What? That maks no sense! Pack em both with the Cockpit or both separately!

Balls. The Asda that sells A-Wings is an hour away. Probably for the best!

For the simpsons... I think it would be kind of interesting to see them attempt the overbite/mouth (Maybe even bug eyes attacked to it?) and pot bellies with additional pieces, instead of making all new heads.
The overbite mouth pieces be done simularly to beards... while the gut piece be sort of a reverse of the TMNT shells... peg in between the torso and legs, and give a bit of roundness to the torso abdomen.
And I had the A-Wing for a while. It lasted about two days before I stripped it and stole it's engines for a Romulan Falcon Starfighter.

The new freebie Lego kids rag arrived today. Comes with a spiffy lenticular Star Wars sticker. Move it to make the X-Wing fly past while Yoda swings his lightsaber!
Also comes with a dvd with two episodes of the Chima show on it.
For nowt.

Chima isn't a great show... but it was watchable. (Speaking as someone who can't sit through an episode of ninjago)
Now if only Lego will turn it over to Traveler's Tales for a game in their traditional style.

Jonathan is re-enacting the Battle of Hoth at the breakfast table.
General Reiken has a cup so you can tell he's an important rebel.

Quite right too! Senior Rebels need their coffee - there is a lot at stake in their decision-making, they need to be mentally sharp.

I keep looking at Helms Deep which is still sat on the table because I have nowhere to keep it and its reminding me of the castle from Man of Iron, I need a roughly leader class Transformer to step over the wall.

Ralph: place the hinges in the cockpit rear (and I think the plates on top of it) one stud further back than illustrated. you'll be able to fully straighten the bird's neck then.

My Asda does not sell the Ackbar Wing. -Ralph Regretably mine does not either - in fact it's only SW Lego is some AT-RT's and a load of Kamino and Jedi Starfighter planets sets. Karl

Not for myself at any rate - I already have one waiting to build that I got from Smyths back in January. Might put I together today seein as to weather doesn't sound promising out there at the moment.

Have been wanting 6866 Wolverine Helicopter set with Magneto and Deadpool but was waiting for a sale. Tesco finally lowered it to £15, but I had a voucher but not on me so left it and when I came back it had gone. Today for some reason I looked at the back of the new Spiderman set and saw one wolverine set tucked away. And to make it even better it only cost £9.50.
Honestly glad I didnt pay more, I have no issue with the three mini figures for less than £10, but the helicopter despite being an enjoyable build is lacking. I thought it would be a little cooler, instead its quite blocky.

Beware the SW Lego dvd doing the rounds. Not all copies come with the Medal Vader figure yet both versions cost the same!

Not really enough proper Power Armour (or sub-tactical nukes) for Starship Troopers. As far as I am viewing it they are the reinforcements to team up with the Space Marine bloke and Space Girl to make Outer Space safe for right-thinking people.
I think Galaxy Squad is brilliant, and I am definitely looking forward to the launch over here - which I believe is slated for August at the moment.

The Galaxy Squad sets are indeed a blast. Though, I don't see any exo-squad comparisons.
I only got one set, but there's another really cool large set that I want that's a neat looking space ship.
Also, the insectoid minifigures? The wings are perfect for stealing and using on kreo waspinator.
