The bipedal Mecha does remind me off Battletech's Catapult and Timber Wolf mechs, so by default looks a lot like Paymates' "Heavy Assault E-Frame" toy. I suspect that I a kit I will be tempted to pick up a couple of those when the line launches. I've just thought those shoulders look perfect for mounting some modular equipment pods on. onc e pods were designed and built anyway....

Huh. Just looked at the link. I haven't seen any of those yet. I'd thought it was the same stuff we've had for the better part of the year.
None of those interest me personally. I guess I'm only a ship buff.
Dunno why, but lego mecha just doesn't do anything for me.

I think this is the second wave in the US - we're getting Galaxy Squad in a single mass onslaught in the mid-year.
I'm partial to LEGO Mecha, but then I'm fairly partial to mecha of all kinds, and I like the ability to customise LEGO designs. I've already come up with a rough idea of how to build an Electronic Warfare version of the GS one, and a fire-support version.... I need to stop now before I give myself a reason to own loads of the one kit.

There was a £5 off voucher (when you spend over £30) for the two Toys'r'us shops in Glasgow in the Evening times, Tuesday before last. Smyths had the same promotion in the same paper two days later. They are out for blood and they are not even slightly shy about it!

Finally found a cheap Planets TIE Bomber in the other Swindon ASDA today. Just the Jedi starfighter to go.

Courtesy of Phil I had a little Chima poly-bag kit to put together yesterday evening. I am now the owner of a hawk-bloke and a hawk-bloke rocket-cycle thing. Although the hawk-bloke does not get to ride the rocket-cycle at the moment as Ackbar has requisitioned it so that he can tour the living room more easily...

I still haven't been able to bring myself to open the Chima Eagle Interceptor. The sheer awfulness of the cartoon has out me right off Chima.

Why I love car boot sales, pt 2.

Only cost £2.50. Hehe.

Enjoyed the Lego section of FAO Schwartz 5th Ave. New York followed by the Lego Shop on Rockefeller Plaza on my little trip to The Big Apple last week. Pics coming forthwith...

Ooh- didn't know about the Lego Shop. I did get to Toys'r'us in Times Square- that was awesome. They had lots of distinctive buildings from the NY skyline on top of each island deck. The Lego Empire State building was, naturally, being climbed by a Lego King Kong.

Times Square was way too busy, so whizzed around TRU and didn't take it all in missing those displays

The Lego fairy who went to Lego Land has brought me a Snowtrooper minifig keychain, minifig magnets pack of Mace Windu, Count Dooku and Yoda and Chima set 70002.
I was also informed that a Lego park exists at Manchester. I have started dropping hints.

Helms deep and enchanted island, which is amazing, its got to be the brightest set lego have made, have been combined.
The combination, makes for a much brighter helms deep. I also added hagris huit the deep to form the back wall.
Sabre island watch tower has also been incorporated. A viking ship, kreon and the GB team minifigs and the x men helicopter guys are all visiting.

Much excitement in Toys Galore. They have the Iron Man 3 Lego. They also have the modular fire station, which calls to me. I had thought only Lego stores sold that one. It's the 2000+ bricks one.
They also have a minifig loyalty card scheme. Buy 5 and get one free if your card is stamped each time!

I was looking at some of the IM3 LEGO through here recently myself. Actually quite tempted by some of it. LEGO James Rhodes is brilliant. Karl
