I too shall use it as a place to aim for on my walking route. Though I expect it to be cleaned out by the time I get there!

Lego Movie minifigs spotted in Waterstones in Edinburgh.

Tesco had them here but the box was completely empty.
Not lego but I found a 2 draw metal filing cabinet this morning for 1p. Down from £30. So still worth keeping an eye out.

No joy, but I did have an interesting sandwich.

My local Tescos appears to not be participating (at least yet). I'll keep a look out. I am normally looking for reduced stuff for the Christmas boxes mission I work on throughout the year.

Only because I had money off coupons I tried out one of the movie mystery bags (listed on Tesco.com as series M, not 12) and ended up with a weird character with no trousers on. the minifigure had a spare set of alternative legs which were the trousers.

The quest for cheap Galaxy Squad continues I enjoyed 70701 Swarm Interceptor (see the little joke with the set number) but all the other lower preice sets are predominantly Alien ones: Got 70702 Warp Stinger & 70706 Crater Creeper cheap in the Entertainer today. It's hard to find a human galaxy squad set at the cheaper prices and I'm wondering if that's one of the reasons the range failed. The quest is the quest...... Phil needs an Eradicator Mech.

I never saw the range clearanced in the Burger. It just quietly vanished from shelves. -Ralph

The Entertainer and Argos had some cheap cheap just after Christmas. I missed the Eradicator mech then.
I got lucky with the Interceptor and got it when Amazon had it cheap
It's just the 2 alien sets linked above left in the Kingston Entertainer at the moment.

Tonight, 10pm BBC2:
I've got mixed feelings about whether to go and see The Lego Movie.
On the down side, I've never seen a computer-generated movie that I really enjoyed. Wall-E was great for the first half but was spoilt for me by the CG humans that appeared half-way through. On the plus side, judging by the trailers I don't think there are any CG humans in The Lego Movie, only Lego figures. On the downside, I think a Lego Movie should be made using Lego (i.e. stop motion), not with computer animation, so that it celebrates what can be done with real Lego rather than what can be done with CGI.
On the plus side, I loved Lego as a kid and still delight in the creativity of all the exhibitors at the Lego exhibition in Swindon. On the down side, not so keen on how the toy line has bought in from other franchises.
Hmmm. I dunno. I'll probably see it!

Martin, the Lego Movie is stop-motion using real Lego elements.

Lego Star Wars SD-Microfighters £3 off at WHSmith... But don't get too excited, they're still £9.99 each AFTER the discount!

WHS Lego prices are a disgrace.

I struggle to think how WH Smiths ever sell toys. Their mark-ups are obscene!

Oh dear. Karl has finally been able to get mlCAD working, allowing him to break the CAD modelled Lego Battletech Battlemechs on Brickcommander down into parts listings with individual parts codes suitable for throwing into the Pick-a-brick fields on the LEGO store. This is dangerous, because the temptation to purchase the parts to assemble a MiniFig scale OW-1 Owens is very strong. And if I do that I will be tempted to modify the Locust model to replicate the Royal Locust I have come to love in the boardgame. And if I do that something will tell me I may as well get the parts to do a -6D Phoenix Hawk and another Royal Locust so they can be a happy light strike lance together.
And then Ollie will start asking when I'm going to get the parts to do a MAD-5L Marauder for her. And There. Will. Be. No. End!!!

This will happen about 2 minutes after you see The Lego Movie.

Truly The Lego Movie is the greatest selling device of all time.
As for the animation its apparently a crazy blend of cg, but using traditional stop motion techniques and cheasts. Brilliant.

The promo is online only and not in store. The Burger store said "NO."
