I now have Lego pirates on my fridge in magnet form. I judge this to be a good thing.
This was a 3-piece set from a few years ago, not to be confused with the new Lego store minifig set.

I'm not usually interested in the Archetecture line but I keep being drawn towards phitos of the UN building. Must be because I have seen it in so many comics and tosh films! I have now placed it on my very long wish list!

Oh, I picked this pirate set up from the Lego Shop at the Lego Show last weekend: Fierce and mighty pirates... They do look rather fantastic - and they even have a Parrot as they well should. Karl

Excellent use of Croissants on the top floor roof decoration.

It is amazing. I have put the mini-modular set aside for a rainy day. That should sate my thirst for the full size modulars. I really can't afford to get hooked on them!
Picked up 60011 Surfer Rescue mini-set. I had to have a Lego shark!

Also as I've said before City lines generally don't hold much interest to me so the more standard minifigures I tend to have little interest in anyway. Thankfully. I really do need 2 Blues Brothers though. And then a black pair of short legs or to paint a set of Woody's legs black to finish them off.

Castle set 70400. For only £8 you get two heroic knights, two brigands, a dog, a cart, a treasure chest with treasure, a flag, a tree/bush which has 2 action features and four different weapons for your knights to do battle with. Fantastic value, easily the biggest bang for your buck in the small sets currently available. Well worth it. £8 for all that! www.brickset.com/detail/?set=70400-1-Ralph

Considering anyone of those minifigures could easily be used in a blind pack at £2 each, that really is good value.

Was at a new car boot sale this morning and a couple were selling nothing but Lego. Highlight was a boxed Black Barracuda for £60, but they had loads of city stuff and individual bricks too. Grabbed a couple of series 3,4 and 5 sealed minifigures for a quid each. sadly nothing I was particularly after.

Sainsburgeries Toy Sale is on. 25% off all Lego. May have red hazed. May have less money for weekend away. Ralph will never learn. He should not have went back on his lunch break.

I've made the mistake this afternoon of looking at a site called BrickCommander - which features an enormous number of Battletech Mech's both as CAD renders from a LEGO design program, and with galleries of them actually built up. I have been looking at them dreaming of the possibility of ordering the right bricks to build myself a Mini-Fig scaled Mad Cat IV, or Thunderbolt, or Marauder...

The Exo-Suit is being produced! www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=8026The model was on display at GW Lego Show and it looked fantastic. If the production model is close enough to it that will be an automatic purchase! -Ralph

Finally cracked and picked up the 3in1 Creator Power Mech 31007 in the Sainsbury's toy sale. UPDATE: A little disappointed by the truck and helicopter modes... Both had >80 pieces left out of the build! Although - the helicopter does use 3 of the wheels for jet outlets and the rear propeller which was nice. I've also managed to incorporate all of the spare parts into the robot! Two wheels can attach to the back of the legs as there are 2x1 blocks with peg holes in, and conveniently a few spare pegs! The remaining wheels I've attached to the forearms using spare 2x2 flat pieces with peg. There were a few other spare pieces that can be snuck in on various points, but the wheels were the main ones.
