That's what I meant! 2 visors, an extra spanner, 3 1x1 grey round tiles, a cone and a tap.

Mini modular set 10230 is utterly superb! Can't recommend it enough. Great value for the price-point. Just spent 5 hours building a street of five fabulous buildings.

Thanks to the car parts, the Snowman now has a Death Chariot. -Ralph Whereas in this house the Astronaut is driving it around as his Moon Cart. (I think he may have smuggled some golf clubs onto his capsule... I spent Sunday afternoon assembling the Galaxy Force mecha - it is an absolutely fantastic kit. The engineering is superb - I grinned partway through assembling the rotary cannon, as I realised that it was actually designed to spin properly. Some lovely articulation on this set as well, it can do proper stompy mecha poses really well. I've also played around with a slightly re-build which allows it to mount the cockpit section from the Swarm Interceptor, and with various different weapon configurations (one with a long autocannon on one arm, one with an array of various laser weapons). I am in serious danger of picking up more Galaxy Force stuff just so I can break them down for parts and permanently build a variant to stand alongside the official version. I think I need to get or build more Lego Mecha at some point... Karl

I need some Galaxy Squad and am hoping for a post Christmas sale. I completed my second larger Chima kit today. Doing a bird kit as an air vehicle is good, but doing one as a tank is a really good effort. And it works far better than any of the other animal land begin le which look like something with wheels and an animal head oonthe front if I'm honest. I've got the bird bike waiting for me in John Lewis along with the Gorilla mech

I do like the look of the Gorilla Mecha - the overhead cannon and the two great battle fists do give it a great look. Not hugely taken by the Chima vehicles, not the same way I am by Galaxy Force. Possibly because the latter feels like an update of the Classic Space stuff of my childhood.

I do fancy the Galaxy Force sets but just have not had room in the budget for them other than the two mini polybags. I'm not fussed about the bug vehicles but the space marine crafts and robots look great.
Damn you, Lego! You have too many interesting themes to keep up with!

I've been looking at the Chima Gorilla mech - that is another one that is going to need to be obtained at some point. Everything is better with Monkeys
