hamilton Posted December 18, 2007 Author Posted December 18, 2007 thank-you all for your kind words of welcome.... yeah Melbourne is a 'nice' place..... The Lego hunting is good in terms of thrift stores and garage sales, markets etc. For new sets though, the standard TRU and department store support is a little slim, though recently i have been purchasing quite a few medium sized castle sets, Exo - force and Bionicle large sets for under $20 au , so perhaps not so bad around Xmas time, yeah! ,heh.... Nearby to where i am, in a suburb named 'Moonee Ponds' is the first 'Lego Education centre' in Australia, i believe another opened in the Queensland city of Brisbane recently. They sell some supplemental parts, minifigs etc. but tend to be rather overpriced. So Melbourne Lego consumption is o.k. And YES! i am exited to see the Minifig custom section, Minifigs are the main focus of my Lego addiction and, coincidentally i am currently moulding and casting some new parts for my 'Fig's including several different geisha wigs and oriental fans, stay tuned for pics soon...... My main focus of brick building is minifig custom across several 'themes', i am creating an army of classic blue spacemen at the moment, as well as the Gotham City Special Operations Group, they are coming along nicely if i do say so myself , heh (pics to follow soon). i build Mecha and Spacecraft both flying and rolling, and also this year the city theme has started to really grab me (large Hauler etc.) and am working on a city layout loosely based on sections of Hong Kong. i also enjoy building some fairly abstract structures purely for their aesthetic value. No theme no story, just 'the build', hehhe.... i am happy to see other Australian's and indeed other 'Melburnian's' here on Eurobricks, anybody able to tell me anything about the Melbourne LUG? i am located in Melbourne most of the time, as i said, but sometimes travel to Bangkok and Hong Kong; and i hope to move to Kyoto Japan by the end of 2008, so am alway's eager to hear of lego event's etc in those locations.. Nice to be welcome, i feel at home already.. Quote
