I'm not sure how you goons view LDD, but Had to take out the lower elevators, and re-jig the connections between the sections (LDD  ). I think it's a comfortable balance between owning the model and having money.

I see Series 1 minifigs everywhere in Australia. I don't think they're as popular over here.

It's a bit hard to see, but it is definitely folded and overlapped in the official photo. also found a good series 2 barcode pdf: http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/miscellaneous/8684Barcodes.pdf

Death of Rats posted:And just for nostalgia, I think this was the one model I always wanted and never got (apart from the really big pirate ship that "that one kid" always had, and everyone secretly wanted: I had both of these as a kid. I only just realised how lucky I was. Sadly, I threw them out years ago.

So I got Creationary for Christmas, and I'm totally loving it. I'm wondering if anyone else plays it? They seem pretty popular, but do the hardcore AFOLs play it? fake edit: Also, the Creationary box advocates sorting by colour.

Just went to the local Target in Australia, they have 20% off all Lego. Unfortunately, they didn't have any creator sets or any other sets that interested me/were in my price range. They did have S3 minifigs, though, and I can confirm that they're going for almost $5 each (before the 20% off). I bought a baseball player. Also was dicking around in LDD and came up with this:   Furthermore, Alien Conquest owns hard.

Saint Sputnik posted:Could probably write your own rules for Creationary. Or play, like, a Lego version of that game where you draw (build) something and someone has to guess what it is? Or everyone can just make CubeDudes. Creationary is almost the same thing as Pictionary. You can actually check out the rules for Creationary from the Lego website. I'd recommend laying down a tablecloth before you bust out the bricks. It'll save a lot of time cleaning up at the end of the night.

Is the set between the wookiee and the rebel pilot (top right) thematically appropriate? I'm sure I don't get it. Otherwise some very cool micro builds in there.

I know that Star Wars LEGO is marked up, I didn't realise just how much. Visiting my local toy store this week, I spied a Fire Station (the deluxe modular one, ~2200pc.) for $300. The same store had a Tantive IV (~1400pc.) for $320. For any ausgoons interested, this is Toy World at Eastland, Vic. They are the best LEGO stockist I've found in the area. They also had a big Mars Mission space ship for some reason. \/\/\/ This is Australia. Toys R Us Australia is terribly overpriced and understocked here.

I hope they do a realistic police station one day, like the deluxe fire station. I would be all over that. Speaking of which, what's the news on any further sets like that?

Series 5 minifigs hit Toys R Us store in Australia over the weekend, picked up the gladiator and queen's guard. It's a shame the gladiator's helmet hides so much of his face.

Just finished building the Winter Village Toy Shop with the wife. She is now hooked. I don't know whether I should be happy because I can more easily support my own addiction or unhappy because I now have to share. Also the Toy Shop is gorgeous.

Souichiro posted:That's BS. Might want to call back and see if you can get someone else to hear you out. Seconding this. Generally the law is that, if the manufacturer fucks up, it's the manufacturer's problem. Also, in Australia we'd all be hosed, since there are no Lego stores and buying it through Lego's online store is stupid.

Fooley posted:You know with the stickers vs. printed thing I'm surprised Brickarms or someone never made a service to paint whatever the hell you want on bricks. Of course that makes them even more specialized than printed ones, but I'd rather have that than a sticker. I know that in Australia there's a company called BrickInk that does custom printing.

Manchild King posted:You mean the Lego Starwars Minifig Collectors Guide? I think I might be getting that for christmas actually. Very nice large colour photos of over 200 minifigs. There's quite a few. Google offers five current books:
The last one includes a smaller version of the visual dictionary, a Heroes book, a Villians book and a 61-piece x-wing model. I am sure there are more than this, too. MaliciousOnion fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 7, 2011 |

I like that it rewards you for building well, not just guessing. Some of the builds are difficult for their supposed level, though. I'm also a little disappointed they didn't call it Bricktionary, although that might have been a bit too close for Hasbro's comfort.

My 3-year-old daughter likes to play with my LEGO. So far, she's had fun with winter village, creator log cabin and Toy Story stuff, as well as a few random minifigs. She's not much of a builder yet, that's why she's getting DUPLO for Christmas. I'll definitely be looking at getting her some of the friends stuff next year. Also, I see the mad scientist's flask is getting used again in the scientist set.
