I like the look of the one bottom right.
I saw a whole bunch of new City stuff I hadn't before in the Lego store on Saturday, mostly various Coastguard and Cargo sets which look rather nice.

I got the little Chima one.
It's a shame the star wars one is a mini ship, not something for minifigs

There's only been two SW bags with minifigs. The small ships are apparently popular
Hadn't spotted the chima one was a Raven's head
The one in the bottom right is described as a ride on lawn mower

Some of the Galaxy Squad sets have shown up in the Burger John Lewis.

My Smyths has what appears to be the bulk of the range. I have to say they look even more appealing on the shelves than they did in pictures, the modular play function isn't restricted to just the mecha - most of the human sets appear to split into air and ground elements. Looks like being a fun play pattern, and the designs of the sets are very nice indeed.

All 7 minibag builds complete. I say 7 cos it turned out I already had the Racing Car 30150 (do you need Burns?)
Lots of good stuff. Fire Chief's car is the least interesting and the Chima one is really only worth it to get Razcal.
Top of the pile is probably the ride on Lawn Mower. The blades are angled so they touch the surface the mower is on so they spin as you role it along :-)

If you want clearer evidence of this then take a look at 31007:Power Mech and tell me that doesn't remind you of Springer...

That's beautiful. So much work must have gone into that. And it is a wonderful translation of the built-over and repurposed aesthetic of the Cyberpunk Genre into plastic brick form.

Look at this lovely robot I made using the Thunderwings Lego Creator set and some alternate instructions I found online!

Indeed.
In other news, the polybag lawnmower is amazing.

Meant to say that some Asdas have been having a clear out. The Star Wars Droids escape pod set was down to about £11 and the LOTR Uruk hai Army set 9471 was down to £9 (I stock piled for Helms Deep expansion). Also £9 was the Jedi Starfighter with green r2d2 type droid. Other Asda had only reduced to £13.50 and others had not reduced at all.
Creationary is also down to about £12. Other sets had also been reduced but I was taking note and most were just buy a few pounds. Oh Gandolf Arrives or whatever it is called was under £6.

What, and give Harmony Gold someone else to sue? :-) In all seriousness, that one is never going to happen because the merchandising rights for SDF:Macross in the west are exclusively licensed to Harmony Gold, so if LEGO wanted to release the set outside of Asia they would have to go cap in hand to HG. It is an absolutely lovely build though, so it is great crying shame. (Especially as LEGO parts have been used to prove the designs of a lot of the hardware in later Macross shows. Kawamori-Sama isn't fond of designing stuff that isn't at least barely feasible in the real world). Karl

I'll have to pass on the BTTF Delorean. One of those rare mis-steps from Lego. It doesn't look like the car. Looks a bit crap, to be honest. -Ralph

Here is the original winning design. Better car, and better skateboard (why did they change the skateboard! Come on!!) lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/96I do like that you can make all 3 Deloreans though, it's just that the bonnet design kills it for me.

Asda are at it again. Varying from store to store but all sorts of stuff half price. Got A-wing with Ackbar and Han Solo this morning for £12.50. TMNT Shredder set is half price too, Star Wars planets £5. Hobit big tree and wolves set is £25, Hobit Big Spider and dwarves set half price. Some DC stuff too.
Really mixed bag.
