Chima mag #3 has been secured. It brings both great joy and great sadness. It comes with the superb Grumlo the gorilla. As well as the pictured hammer, he also comes with a spear and shield! He is a tooled up minifig. Alas, the next issue page reveals that #4 does not come with a minifig but with a 'cool jump ramp for your Speedorz'. Awwww.

That's proper Jamie & The Magc Torch/Chorlton and the Wheelies fare that is. NIGHTMARE FUEL: In other news, local McDonald's is advertising a forthcoming Lego Movie promo tie-in. Oh no. I have only eaten from that chain three times since 2005. Oh no. -Ralph I don't think I've eaten there yet this year. Jonathan is fond of a happy meal.

eBay seems to have lots of auctions for the Counil of Elrond LOTR set minus the minifigures.

I have been gifted Galaxy Squad 70700 and Chima Legends Beast Gorilla 70125. The latter will go nicely with the fabulous minifig from Chima mag #3.

Is it me or does the Simpson's house seem less Lego and more like one of the other "compatible brick building system" manufacturers?

I haven't really done more than glance at the picture to be honest. I have found that the Simpsons LEGO hasn't really stirred much interest in me for some reason.

It lacks the draw that the modular buildings have for me.

Haven't mentioned before, but I received a new City set as a Christmas present this year - 60018 Cement Mixer.
I haven't built it yet, I am saving it for this weekend methinks but am rather looking forward to it - it looks like a rather nice set.

I've been building the Chima Legends beasts this week: The Eagle is a little disappointing because it's been done so much better in larger form. The Gorilla has also got a larger version but it's much better than the Eagle. The Crocodile, Lion and Wolf are all superb with, I think, a narrow win for the Lion. Some nice building arches on Curved bricks in the Wolf though!

I have seen the Lego Movie sets out and about. Not too impressed at the 50p price hike for the blind bag minifig wave though!

Package from Lego this morning - the Curiosity Rover has arrived! Thought it wasn't due in stock until 30th, so a nice surprise. We'll have a bit of a build later.

Lone Ranger Lego continues to shelf-warm at my local Tesco. AFAIK this is the only Wild West themed Lego so far.

Progress is gradual on building the Mars rover as you might expect with a 3yo but she's quite into it and I'm really enjoying the half hour session each evening!
Picked up a Chima Eagle Interceptor from John Lewis, on clearance at £14.99 so it seemed a shame not to, really. Might be a while before I get to putting it together though.

I'm hoping that 50p price hike on minifigs isn't everywhere, but I did see that coming when Tesco listed the usual £2 as an 'introductory price' when s11 surfaced.
The only place I have seen s12 is on eBay for £2.99 inc P&P.

Movie blind bags in Sainsburgeries. Alas the price hike to £2.29 did mean I bought a couple rather than the usual four. Got the mermaid and the guy in the panda suit.

I don't know how well it did, but the Western Town is one of the largest segments in Legoland: Denmark. Bizarre, since they only did Wild West once and have had Space themes for most of the time Lego has existed yet there was no sign of any space-themed zones, rides or attractions! I was most put out. -Nick

Several of the figures (ie Mexican dude, Shakespeare) are just redone versions of figs from previous series. Think I'll just feel for Lincoln and that's me done this time round! -Ralph

Just been to Tesco and bought this. It appeared on the shelves about a year ago in a slightly battered state and has never had an SEL or shelf space, it just got dumped places. It has always been full price. Until today. Anyone want to take a guess how much? Go on.
