Gryphon Ink Posted October 1, 2011 Took another step into Technic and got 8069 Backhoe Loader yesterday. It's an awesome set. Technic is WAY more challenging than System - this was the first time I've had to backtrack because I'd messed up a couple of parts. I love that it's actually a challenge to build. Luckily, none of the other Technic sets out right now (in a price range I can afford) appeal to me that much, or I could have a whole new addiction on my hands.

Brainbox Posted October 1, 2011 I went to the Lego shop in Liverpool today, and came away with a small PAB tub, an Alien Quest battlepack, a Pharaoh's Quest battlepack, two keyrings, a build-a-minifig (well, three for £3.50), two Series 5 minifigs and 40019 Brickley the Sea Serpent. I just can't resist a nice polybag! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hiawatha Posted October 2, 2011 Just scored an amazing deal on a complete Armada Flagship! The sails are nice, all the figures are there,the instructions are there, and the seller threw in two bonus pirates, a captian, shark, and rowboat to go along with the set! It should be here next week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDesuComplex Posted October 2, 2011 I, myself, recieved the 8070 Supercar today. VERY excited to get building, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next weekend. Oh well, just a quick sneak at my first Power Function parts for now. Anyone know good modifications for it? I'm looking the link the steering wheel to the HOG with two 4L U-Joints I've been saving and turn the gearshift into a true motorized drive. Not that worried about the 'baboon' rear though. And I'm already buying the PF Switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

President of Brick Town Posted October 2, 2011 Got my third Alien Conquest set. After 7049 and 853301 I got 7051. Fortunately it was free from crumbled instruction and DSSs. It is a great set.Yes the tripod part is hard to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Got the Winter Post Office earlier today, and a review (SilentMode style) is coming later. No sign of this mystery "exclusive" set someone suggested. Which 'exclusive' set is that? The new 'holiday' one that will be a freebie? I think that's not until mid-October. 17-31, IIRC. Fairview was PACKED, so I just snagged five random bags of Series 5 (my first ones!) instead of spending the time 'groping' the pouches and got: Cleopatra, Zookeeper Jane, Gladiator, Snowboarder and Boxer. Not bad for totally blind picks. Also picked-up BrickJournal #15. Edited October 2, 2011 by Ogre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentMode Posted October 2, 2011 Which 'exclusive' set is that? The new 'holiday' one that will be a freebie? It's the one that turned out to be the Kingdoms Joust set. I don't know if it's in stores yet, because I wasn't looking in that direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre Posted October 2, 2011 It's the one that turned out to be the Kingdoms Joust set. I don't know if it's in stores yet, because I wasn't looking in that direction. Ahhhhhhhhh. Sweet set. Comes out in January. Tons of pics on Flickr for folks like myself to drool over. That new Falcon (updated Black Falcon) knight looks AWESOME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocketbilly Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) A second Evo 2.0 to combine with some spare Scorpio parts and some miscellaneous pieces to create a lime and yellow Hero Factory figure I designed on Recon Team. He's turned out very well and since I got the set from Amazon, I could create the figure for a fraction of the cost it would have from Recon Team - about £4.49 all told, compared to around £15 for Recon Team including postage. plus a far, far shorter wait.

Ratshot Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I've purchased a number of custom Lego products lately. Minifig Cat - $50 worth of Body armour and headgear. Bricklink - $45 worth of heads and torsos for my WWII American GI's. BrickArms - $45 worth of WWII guns and WWII Helmets. I'm very impressed with the quality of Minifig Cat. Its just as durable as genuine Lego. BrickArms are extremely durable too. Edited October 5, 2011 by Ratshot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryanfitton Posted October 6, 2011 Ar one point they used the atrocious YODEL, but I'm not sure now. Never heard of YODEL, they will probably use a courier. Although it's tricky to get the parcel re-delivered if i'm not in the house when it arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kibosh Posted October 6, 2011 I got another copy of the Mill Raid and the large Atlantis set for 30% at TRU. Got the 1st Bricktober figure, and $10 in Geoffrey Bucks for the 2nd one.
