Saw The Lego Movie yesterday with George, and we both really enjoyed it!
With some change today I bought a couple of the minifigs. Easily scored a Wyldstyle and an Abe Lincoln (one to keep for the boy when he's older). Those two are easy to find.
Also picked out the Free figure offer page from todays copy of the Daily Mail (in-laws copy, not my own). It is only Emmett in his PJs and not much to shout about. Not sure if they are doing more figures this half-term week.

Just come from seeing the Lego Movie. Amazing stuff. Very smart. Very inventive. Very fun.
Galaxy Squad quietly vanished from the Lego Store here in Glasgow somepoint during this week.

Some VUE cinemas are giving away Lego minifigs as freebies to folk who see The Lego Movie. My other half kindly got me a Mirkwood Elf Archer! Was given blind-pack Emmet and the Mexican Chap as well as Movie Melting Room set and the SW Death Star Trooper battle pack for Valentine's Day. -Ralph

Hmm. Like the nose guns on that little shuttle thing. I may need to work out what part numbers they are because they would make nice small-calibre Autocannon for LEGO Battlemechs. ARRRGGH! It is going to happen. I'm going to end up with a full Lance if not a Company of LEGO Mechs at this rate! Karl

Entertainer (at least mine is if I am wrong) is doing an offer on Lego where if you spend more than £3 you get an extra Lego City Polybag.
For the price of say two minifigs (even the marked up s12/M) your pound stretches further for more Lego basically.

Category 4 Kaiju event! Computer is tagging this one as "Duplodile"! I got Bad Cop and President Business in the only two Movie Wave Blind bags I have bought as yet. Fairly happy with that as a random selection. I will probably stop there with this wave of Blind Bags though, they have now passed the magic "impulse buy" threshold for me. Karl

I will have to feel for Bad Cop. I must have him fight my SW Liam Neeson minifig.

Bought some Mixels on impulse. They look utterly demented and a great price-point. I look forward to building them.

Tried the offer again at the Entertainer and ended up with a Chima DVD. Would have preferred the crocodile (for Blaise and Lincoln of course).

I saw The Lego Movie on Tuesday. I loved it; so witty, inventive and with such impressive animation. (I look forward to looking at the detail in freeze-frame.) Kiera wasn't impressed.

Phil's been building Done both the last two Chima mag packets. The Speedorz ramp is meh but the spuder gun is good, much better than the similar SW E-Web cannons. The Movie Melting room is fun with some new pieces. It's now the home to the President Business from last week's minifg spree. Built the X-Wing (found yesterday) and Falcon Microfighters and they're really fun. I think the Clone tank might be really great. Also *FINALLY* got a series 6 Clockwork robot and a Movie Panda Man. In the to build pile: 4 more Microfighters and a Galaxy Squad Warp StingerWhich reminds me 70700 Space Swarmer Fabulous for a small kit - get one if you can 70701 Swarm Interceptor fun starship 70706 Crater Creeper interesting insect

Chima Beast Gorilla has been built. Needs some mods though: larger platform is needed for the minifig to ride on back and the legs need some work for more freedom of movement. I shall need to dive into one of the tubs...

I've found a lot of old Lego boxes, mainly from Space Lego, some dating back 30+ years from when George used to live in London. I've flattened them down (since they are not keeping any Lego and loft space is needed) as it looks like I've quite a bit of scanning to do. There's also quite a few old instruction booklets and stuff that may be worth sharing and seeing (unless there's a site that has archived 'everything' already). I'll probably stick it all in a flickR album or something.

Not before time Looking forward to this as I wasn't buying SW Lego when the last one came out. I have a feeling it'll be more than £70 this time though Mr Turnbull, have you seen this? www.flickr.com/photos/96063791@N02/12243573953/-Nick

Ralph needs a Sandcrawler.
Ralph still needs Jabba's Sail Barge though the universe taunts him. John Lewis keeps knocking £20 off it periodically but never when Ralph has spare pennies. This doth driveth him into frothing rageth.

The feature wall in TRU is currently on The Lego Movie. A giant cardboard version of Emmet with a terrified expression has a moving hand which swings back and forth. A certain someone pointed at the Rude Function of the display. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
