Amazingly there remains a few left in my local Toyworld after feeling concerned that I would struggle to get one a while ago !!!

My Big W and Target have had Jabba's Palace for ages, It looks like the same sets have been on the shelves for months, It seems really expensive for what you get in it? I Guess Jabba's Mini Fig is probably worth $20 or more alone.

Well finially after a long long wait i received today my Tower Of Orthanc took 15 days to arrive very long wait
In the mean time i bought
LEGO City Police Headquarters (#7744)

LEGO - City Police Command Center (#7743)


I Also bought bricks to remake the World City Train Shed

All up it cost around the $120-$150 ( i will add up all the invoices soon to get a exact price soon) the most expensive and hardest parts to find were the Roof pieces, the Black slopes and Smoke windscreens, are Very Expensive But all up i am happy with the price

'SnapLock' you have the only good set from the World City theme......that reminds me to fix mine.  
Now even though cash has been tight I have twisted my own arm in the past few days......

Now I have only 6 or 7 city sets left to get this year.....man, by 2015 Railshow I'm going to have a huge Lego city layout.  

Hey Lightningtiger where did you buy the Cargo truck & f1 racer truck form? is there a Shop in Adelaide that sells them?

I've been thinking about doing this myself, $150 seems relatively reasonable given the amount the sets are for sale on BL for. I'd be really interested to know how much you spend in the end. And interested to see the end result  

i got me a Jabba's sail barge, and the Octan GP truck and trailer from TRU.. not cheap, but only place i've seen 2H 2013 stock so far...

Used my 20% off coupon at TRU for this......

Added these two today.......the latter I got from Toyworld.
They also had the city starter set for 39.99, maybe next time.  

Nice Lightningtiger, what is the Monster truck transporter like? i went to my Local k-mart today to pick one up but they only have the Cargo and Coast guard themes in. I really want the Cargo plane terminal but they didnt have that either it  

Well I just finished both the stunt plane and monster truck sets tonight......the little plane is well worth the money spent on it and the monster truck is cool, the tools can mostly be stored in the two red 2x3 cupboards.....the only odd thing is no mirrors on the prime mover but ting ones on the monster truck. The stunt plane and monster truck are joint theme.....cargo and great vehicles but also together as a stunt team......driver and pilot have the same torso.

I have been quiet of late spending most of my cash on increasing the stock levels of parts for my bricklink store.
 
Anyway, during this buying spree I managed to grab a Hot Dog Stand Polybag Set # 40078 which arrived today

Since I turn 45 tomorrow.......and paying the last 60 bucks owing at Target.......

I decided at about 8 o'clock tonight not to cancel and pay it off......ah, now to built it all day tomorrow.....only a bottle of scotch is missing !

Oh Wow this has to be one of my all time favorite Lego sets i as thinking about buying another to combine them.
Tiger you wont be disappointed the whole set is great and looks really cool on display.
I love the "Asylum paddy wagon build" & just the overall "crazy" & "spooky" vibe of the building.
The only i thing i changed in mine was i replaced the broken window effect to match the other windows with spare parts form ToyCorner.

Great looking building, Love the gate! I didn't see this set at my Target or otherwise I probably would have put it on my layby.

I only have the last three bags left to build.......I've decided to leave the window broken for the playability factor.......hopefully I'm buying some more city stuff this week !  

Today i bought lego cargo truck 60020

The forklift design i really liked however, it is let down by the rubber band that moves the hoist arm up and down why Lego didn't keep the old metal spring design as seen on the forklift form the LEGO World City 4512 Cargo Train . Or the pin movement of 4206 Recycling Truck.
This is one of the few Lego sets that i will put into my 'Meh Whatever"  Pile.

I was bitten by the buy me bug last night !

Now the tiger is in the other side of the fence on the fork lift.......though I did note that forks don't hit ground - about a plate and a half thickness off the ground......so I'll build a loading dock for it.
 

I twisted my arm today......

Hey Tiger what would you rate that set? Ive been eying it off at my local K-Mart for the last few days but its $125....  
how much did you get yours for and is it worth it?
I really like the Cargo theme as it fits in with my Train layout

It's only 115 at my local Kmart, but I brought it from Myers with their 10 bucks off every 50 deal.
The vehicles are cool and the plane well worth it....better than the last cargo plane from 2008.

Got the very last city set on my 2013 list today.......only the winter cottage to get off long term Toyworld layby now......

This set looks cool, I want to get it from somewhere cheaply though. I got tired of the Friends sets now because they seem boring

The best at the moment is Myer's 10 bucks off every 50 bucks till tomorrow night.....not sure when another %-off sale is coming up.

1960's Town Plan (USA version) by Samsonite
