What I bought today

Found a box of collectable minifigs at my local bookstore with series 9 and 10, no Mr Gold but I thought I found a chicken suit man but it ended up being an Alien Avenger....    I really wanted a Chicken Suit guy



Any got a spare Chicken Suit Guy they wanna swap :-p

Now I took advantage of the TRU 20% deal on the weekend......

Now I added this to my super hero collection yesterday.......

Only the AA will complete my 2012/2013 series of sets !

Yesterday I bought The Constitution Train chase - mainly for parts.
$111 from Target.

my space monorail arrived today! going to muster the parts, build then will take pics if it's all G2G:)

Cant wait to see The monorail

After much feeling, proding and frustration I finally found the 3 minifigs from series 10 I wanted!! I was also very tempted by the cement mixer...... $20 at Target..... Maybe I'll have to go back....



Sorry for the pic quality, my iPod Touch was the nearest camera at the time of the post.... 

Today i bought Lego Lord Of The Rings Wizard Battle


Its a Great little Set & a Fun Little Build. If you can get this set for Under $20 its Great value.Defiantly in my top 10 list of 'Tiny Sets'

Have had this for a few days now but only just unpacked and am planning a fun filled evening building it tonight  



And yes I started unpacking it and then realised I hadn't posted.. I get a bit excited with new sets

Its a great set and a lot of fun to build   I recently got mine & i spent about half a hour just looking at the unopened bags and admiring the box

Great set, congrats. I have to stop buying sets from Big W and order some Modulars online before they start retiring more.

I put another Town Square, another Friends Pool and another Creator house on lay bye this morning, planning on combining 2 x town squares and 2 x friends pools to make larger sets. The second Creator house is because I really like one of the alternate builds.

So today I bought this:



(Sorry for the sideways photo, but I'm really not in the mood, I've tried to spin it about 4 times and it just won't work for me...   )

Found it on Gumtree for $250 in Sydney, so no postage  so that's about as cheap as I'll find it. I wasn't going to get this modular, but some folks over on Eurobricks persuaded me haha. Now all I need to do is to Bricklink Market Street, and I'll have the full set!!!!

the Market street is not really worth it unless you really want to complete the set. it's the poorest quality build of all of them, and you will kill yourself to get some of the rarer parts.... i made a red/white one last year from the instructions, and all in all in was not impressed with it. you cannot furnish the inside due to the way it is built with the staircase in the middle of the room.

a busy life had put the monorail on hold, but a quiet weekend finally allowed me to build it.. and it works fine!!

i've decided it will probably not live forever in this form. i think im going to use it to build a city-based monorail, a 2013 airport shuttle.




and here is a draft:

 Yeah I've already had a play around with it on LDD, including replacing the dark blue 1 x 4s etc with light bley on the sides and backs, and I have most of the door components or similar in my collection which are unused atm. The only things I really need is the front door and the dark blue arches (which I've seen on EB will be in the new Winter Village set coming out in OCtober, so that could work very well for me   ). I must admit I am a bit of a completest...

Ooo how exciting. The set looks great!! And I can't wait to see the 2013 airport shuttle  

Today i went to my local K-mart to get a lego minifig series 10 Sea Captain , after feeling bag after bag i was struggling to find him, another person who was also feeling for minifigs asked me what i was looking for i said The sea captain, she replied with 'oh hes right here" as she handed me the bag
I asked her how do you know its the Sea Captain? , she replied someone has opened it already
LoL.

^ Wow, that's so Awesome.

So I got Olivia's house yesterday, Its a decent set that is way overpriced. If you build the set as an entire house back, front, walls and roof its not very big at all and its RRP is over $100 where as the new Creator home is bigger and doesn't cost nearly as much. I do like some of the extra bits and interior stuff with this Friends set but still a tad disappointed. If I bought another one and combined the two it would make a really beaut house.

Im getting it from America so i have to wait patiently for it. lets hope it doesn't take too long to arrive

Wow, big set! I'm not a LotR fan but if I were, I can see this would be like Christmas come early for me haha

I hope you don't have to wait too long and happy building

I proudly own a Jabba's Palace # 9516 after finishing off paying for it today  
 
Amazingly there remains a few left in my local Toyworld after feeling concerned that I would struggle to get one a while ago !!!
