But now my need burns ever deeper! If only it wasn't so expensive.

Early wedding anniversary gift today in the form of the TMNT Mutation Chamber set. Pretty much a Raphael VS Spiderbytez encounter. I've heard this isn't out in the states yet. I look forward to assembling it when possible.

Arctic Sets and ECTO-1 spotted at John Lewis today. Loving the Arctic stuff but will wait for a sale. £45 for the Ghostbusters set seems steep, but it's not going to get any cheaper and won't hang around forever so I guess I have to decide soon!

So Ecto-1 sold out in the Glasgow store in 2 days. Uncertain whether to order it from the Lego online shop or wait and see if Glasgow get it back in while I'm here for the week?
Will it be a Mars Rover (a quick sell-out and gone forever) or a Delorean (shelfwarming event horizon)?

Ecto-1 still available online so no disaster if the Glasgow store does not get more stock in while I am through here.
The store has a birthday event thing on tomorrow until Sunday. First 100 folk each day get a freebie. Mmmm.

He left the flat around 7am to be first in queue. Such is his dedication.

His early morning start appears to have been rewarded.

I knew that one day I shall find some one from this group in or around the Lego store, and today was that day.

I was early for my interview, so I went to see what the building thing outside the Lego store that Ralph tweeted earlier was about. There was Ralph with his bag full of goodies sitting on the bench outside tee Lego shop.
I honestly didn't expect him to still be there by then.

He did say he was waiting on 'others'. No one was about by the time my interview finished.

At last report he was in the Pub with Andu & The Kaptain. I reminded them that Rule 1 was in force and haven't heard anything since!

Andu has now been fully blooded in Lego for he now has a VIP card. A proud moment.

Did go a bit mental yesterday. Lego X-Men Sentinel Attack set, two of the GOTG sets, the one with Groot and Rocket and the smaller escape ship one. Got a free Lego Store and my VIp card.
Took a lot of self control not to get the final GOTG set and Ecto-1 today.

Will you still have that self-control next month when you take your special box in for your 3 free minifigs?

Yes. For spending a certain amount at the weekend you got a box which can be filled with 3 'build a minifig' Lego people for free next time. Part of that store's 'birthday' promo. I got one along with the other promos: extra VIP points and a Lego store kit. Also this month's balloon cart promo freebie and just for turning up a birthday cake polybag (no purchase needed).
I deployed cash given for a special occasion so picked up Ecto-1 and the Palace Cinema, which is my first big modular building. Such sets are usually out of my price range so now was the time and if I was only ever going to get one it would be that set due to my love of cinema.
The mini modular street set is a favourite of mine for being a fun build and being a great display piece so I look forward to a minifig scale one. Will probably keep it for August holiday time.

Jonathan has been asking to play with my Lego railway for a while. So while he was out this morning I set SOME of it up under his cabin bed....
