Death Star Troopers!!!
Not sure about the SD ships, but then I suppose they would be more fun for kids than the Planet sets.

I'll probably skip the SD Ships. Not my cup of tea at all. However, Imperial Army troopers packed with some Royal Guard... A few mooks are always handy to have around.

SD Ships: Maybe if the minifigs are decent and one I need.
Have I said yet today how good Minifigs S11 are?

Of s11 I have the climber, welder, evil mech, scarecrow, yeti and gingerbread man. I think the latter may be one of my favourite minifigs of all! What doesn't show up in pictures are the little red flecks all over him (including the arms). Lovely tiny painted details. So much higher quality than Kreo crap.
Gingerbread man is easy to feel for. He is the only one in the series with a cup. Also, he has the round flat head rather than the usual head.

Yep. Priceless.
Targeted packet feeling netted me the desired female wind-up robot. My next feeling quest will be for the British policeman. Should be easy enough to feel for his helmet, but that could be confused with he elf's hat so best feel for his truncheon too!
For this wave, I am challenging myself to try to feel for the figure in a minute or less. If no score, I must move away and have had my shot for the day.

Bought 2 packs today and ended up with the same figure. I have the wind-up girl robot and spare for swaps. Elf army not off to a good start.

Some of the Castle sets are on promotion in Tesco already. The Daily Bugle set has a tenner off and is now at the price-point I have been waiting for, but on the wrong side of payday. I could have wept.

I got the Policeman. Really good figure.

I too got the policeman today. He is my new favourite figure. Dixon of Dock Green will dispense justice! I now demand a Gene Hunt figure to go with him. This will make sense if you saw the ending to Ashes to Ashes.
Also got the jungle face mask man. Ooga booga!
John Lewis have got the City Advent Calander in (not the SW one yet). £16. Has a snowman minifig! They also have the big winter scene set that is usually in the Lego store. Looks great. Also saw the Castle er, castle. I must have it!

I had toy porn delivered today: the latest Lego Shop@Home catalogue.
And a club mag last week too!

You order something from the shop and your name goes on their special list for a few years

I have still resisted ordering from their shop. Once I go down that dark path forever will I be lost.

Remind me when you visit and I'll show you the old ones I have from 02-03-04-05. I used to get lots of my train stuff off the website. Got catalogues with Life on Mars, Bespin and the Sandcrawler on them

Got the DK Harry Potter minfigure guide with Harry Potter at wedding minifigure and the DK DC Universe guide with Electro suit Batman. Both £2.99 in Home Bargains. The DC book is too large for my tastes, I like the compact Star Wars and Potter sized ones, but I do like that it covers the whole sets not just minifigures and also the games and whatever else.

Are Minifigures due to go up in price later this year?
Tesco have series 11 listed under the normal £2 price tag, but as 'Special Purchase' until October 3rd.

Saw the Back to the Future set in tesco, kind of cool but so expensive for what it is.

Do not look at the Lego prices on Amazon. You'll be poor very quickly

There is a certain comedy value to be had in looking up ten year old Lego SW sets.

Acquired a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid (w/ Jango Fett, Clone Trooper and Battle Droid minifigures) today for £5 in Tesco.
Might be a regional offer.

Couldnt make the Lego show, but found 3 lots of lego this morning. The first was a small tub of modern licensed coloured bricks. The second was a large box of 80s lego that a guy was offering to a lego dealer. She didnt think it was worth more than £10 because of condition so I offered £20 as it had some base plates I wanted and also the compulsory 1980s Transformers weapon, this time one of PMOP dual cannons, when I got it home I found it contains most of Fort Legoredo and Knight Lords Castle and loadds of small Technic parts. The final tub for £4 had a few little sets including 2 Indiana Jones ones. I now own a Sean Connery minifigure.

Nice haul from the GW Lego Show. Pile of minifigs, polybags and the mini-modular street set from the Lego store. Also a pile of things for Mrs Ralph.
