Probably.
Does uncle Phil still have that footage he took of us turning the Death Star into an Epcot-Centre-style centerpiece for his mighty train network?

The author is doing a book launch thing for this at Blackwells in Edinburger next Thursday evening. Freebie event. Must grab a ticket. Some very impressive models have been constructed in the bookshop window. www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=6340-Ralph

Why I love car boot sales, pt 2. Wandering around today and saw a boxed enchanted island set. 6278. Its been on my want list since stumbling across it on a lego site. Only cost £2.50. Hehe. Why I love car boot sales, pt 3. In todays exciting instalment, I spied a blue box with a lego logo on it, usually they contain baby clothes for some reason, this time it was lego, but when I showed interest I was told it was one of two boxes, okay how much for the two I ask. £10 I am told then the second box comes out of the car, it is the box for set 6769 Fort Legoredo and topped up with a load of other lego. Taking some time to see how much of the set is here but it's looking good so far.

Also on my almost daily B&M hunt I spotted series 3 lego minifigures for just £1. Bought one which turned out to be the Sumo just to confirm the price. Called a friend who swooped in and took all 22, but I got the elf out of it and after sorting through them swapped some series 6 for the Mummy, Samurai and the zoo keeper from another series.
So yeah check for minifigures.

Yep, saw S10 this weekend in Toymaster. Don't have any yet, but I did blind-select roulette on S9 and managed to pull another Sentai-Robot bloke and the Alien Mercenary. Quite happy with that as a random haul.

I know this sounds like I'm complaining about a good thing,(and I suppose I am) but theres too much lego, all I want is to build a fort and want is probably Dumbledores office. The indian campsite would be nice to go with the fort, but all the rest is just annoying me as it's taking forever to go through.

8862 looks great! My brother had 8862. Wonderful set with the pistons and working gear box.

I don't really get Technic, well I do but have never been able to enjoy it as much as regular lego, still if its complete and works I am looking forward to giving it a go.

I have picked up my first S10 minifig this evening, and I have lucked out - I got the Mariner with his seagull companion. He is great, with his grizzled grey-beard. He is going to join Ackbar so that they can be Captains for two shifts in my house.

Up Buchanan I ran, past what once was a Borders, to the new Lego shop, on the good Doctor's orders. The massive B-wing was built up in the window, next to Red 5, its Rogue Squadron bedfellow. The Star Wars department I spied from afar, With Executor there, big R2, the Death Star... From Duplo to Monsters, so much on display! And play sections for children, with loose bricks in trays. The "rainbow wall" held extra bricks for the thrifty, plus a minifig builder- three chaps for three-fifty! The whole shop was mobbed! There were hundreds in there! The selection was brilliant! The prices were fair. The shop has all any Lego fan could but seek, which means St Enoch's Hamleys... is now up shit creek.
I actually had to google "what rhymes with window".
