What I bought today

Ouch, BigW's here in Adelaide have them, so they available to Toy Corner.

wow, star wars lego, i will see at my local Kmart tomorrow, the new lego must be out, now, because the old lego and super heros are on sale at Target, and since, the legomovie is out on 3 april, I guess we will see the new sets soon

Well I am back on the LEGO bandwagon after a few weeks off. I have now sold off all my Technic and am just starting my next project. Just picked up two more haunted houses

Wow! That must have been a hard decision, Paul.

You had some excellent MOCs amongst the sets.

Good luck with the haunted houses.

Today i bought another Monster fighters Haunted House for $160

These arrived today. I can build what I wanted to build.

Breezy, would love to see what monorail bits you have.

Basically I bought a ton of straight parts to complement other curves, points, ramps and short bits I've assembled. Maybe its time for a random and rambling WIP blog now that the concept of my layout is constructible. Plus I'll probably need some help sourcing more than a few 1978-85 straight roadway baseplates for it to all work.

Since my fellow local brick enthusiasts have been buying it and raving I thought I would cave in to buy the LEGO Movie Ice Cream Machine set # 70804.
Building it sometime in the next few days so you can expect to see photos of it completed  

I've bought a bunch of the LEGO movie sets and I must admit the ice cream van is my favourite.

Same here.

my haul from the US:

Aw, lucky you winter village market - I want one ! LOL

Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the last day of double VIP point at LEGO.com and bought myself two sets, the first since January!!! I've been trying to save up for this   



And because everyone's raving about the ice cream truck (it does look cool):



Awaiting delivery   

Oh, the ice cream truck needs modifying because the height of it is too high !

Lt, I beg to disagree.

I recall reaching up to a mr whippy van to buy an ice cream.

The adult owner is standing on a floor which is above the axles.

I think that this is in proportion.

Have you built one ?
I have the girl must hang from the side it's one brick too high and you were a kid right ?   
The town moderator on EB has redesigned it so it's more minifig friendly.   

i snapped one of these, arrived today from the Myer online sale... $99 is a great price for it.

That's a great price for that set.......the house is a wonderful build !

Top set.

I think i've caught the Winter village bug... time to buy the older ones too now....

Ouch, the toy shop will set you back a pretty penny on Bricklink now !   

Finally got around to buying the GE before the price rise, Im actually buying 2, one from The Lego shop for $250 with free postage (should be here soon) and then to my surprise my local overpriced toyworld had them for $250 so I put another one away on lay buy. Wish I had visited toyworld first I would have at least one right now!

During the past week I firstly bought the following sets whilst attending Brixhibition Launceston 2014.

BTTF DeLorean Time Machine # 21103 for $59.99 @ 20% off = $48.00

I doubt that anybody would of got it for a better price and I am glad I waited patiently to get this one.

Small Cottage # 31009 for $39.99 @ 20% off = $32.00

Secondly I bought the hard cover book called Extreme Bricks having seen an exhibitor featured in it who displayed at the above event !!!

It is nice to know that Tasmanians can make an impression alongside other exhibitors around the world   

Today I bought a few of the new Simpsons Collectable Minifigures and managed to secure the following ones shown below,
 

 
Bart Simpson
 

 
Marge Simpson
 

 
Lisa and her little sister Maggie !!!
