JINZONINGEN73 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) I was in a MAJOR Lego building flatline due to wars with my landlord and no heat in this house, but then I started buying myself some sets with what meager cash I did have: Jabba's prize -(mom sent me it) The blue Barraki -(2 of them, because they glow) Green mini car -(3 of them, because of lime green tiles) 10 various matoran -(LAST year's, $1 each at Walmart). ExoForce Gate Assault -($21, Walmart). And best of all, the Ultimate Collector's Batmobile... for just $10 at Goodwill. And the bastard was even fully complete, too! So yeah, my building juices are recharging. Edited January 30, 2007 by JINZONINGEN 73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scouty Posted January 17, 2007 Tks guys for your answers ;-) Your welcome! Also Mutley, do you have a pic of the movie where is shown the 2 troopers piloting that speeder (the one TLC released with the green pattern in the Catamaran set) ? *yoda* No :-( , those were the basic troopers. You see them when A) Yoda chops the head off of one X-D. and B) In the beginning of the super Kashyyk battle sequence....GO!...oops :-$ . these are the guys. On Topic: I will be buying pieces via BL for movie-sets :-) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minifig Lecturer Posted January 17, 2007 I wanted to buy a second big city crane for a moc, but I can't as all the lego is sold out in the only 2 shops that sell it in the whole city :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutley777 Posted January 17, 2007 Also Mutley, do you have a pic of the movie where is shown the 2 troopers piloting that speeder (the one TLC released with the green pattern in the Catamaran set) ? *yoda* I have yet to find a picture of the swamp speeder with pilots. Very annoying! I wonder if anybody here has the ships and vehicle cross-section book from EP3 as that might have what we are after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shakar Posted January 21, 2007 About a week ago I went to my local Toy Center. To my joy, there were all the 2007 sets (except Bionicle, of course, and the Aqua Raiders sets, which aren't even available on S@H Italy right now). I got Claw Crusher, about a week ago. Very nice little set. Shakar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brainbox Posted January 21, 2007 I know its not technically today, but yesterday I went to Skipton and bought from Toymaster/-world (it keeps changing): 4917 Mini Robots 4918 Mini Flyers 8100 Cyclone Defender 8101 Claw Crusher 7774 Crab Crusher What amazed me about Crab Crusher (it's a great set, btw) is how the box art and the instructions don't necessarily correspond all the time. For example, I was left with 4 stickers. Bear in mind that these couldn't be found on either the box or the instructions. But if i'd followed the instructions, I'd have been left with 5. The box showed the two silver teeth at the front of the crab. The instructions show the silver teeth at the back of the crab (I prefer this). The box and instructions each show the two tubes/pipes at the back of the bub connected in different places, and the trigger piece is different on the box. *wacko* Anyhow, like I said, great set.

xwingyoda Posted January 22, 2007 What amazed me about Crab Crusher (it's a great set, btw) is how the box art and the instructions don't necessarily correspond all the time. Yeay lool, I have the same issue (if we can consider it an issue) with the Tiger Sharck set ;-) The parts colors for the mini gun are different from the box art and in real *wacko* It really doesn't matter IMO since both colors are pretty good looking anyhow ;-) *yoda* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted January 25, 2007 It really doesn't matter IMO since both colors are pretty good looking anyhow ;-) It doesn't really bother me either. It happened with the Cyclone Defender as well (on a smaller scale). The instructions show foot stickers, the set includes foot stickers, the box art doesn't. And I actually had 6 (not 4) stickers left at the end of the Crab Crusher build, with a potential 7 if the instructions had been followed completely. I missed 2 at the bottom of the sheet.

simonwillems Posted January 27, 2007 Three BNSF's, you must be a wealthy cuddly tiger! :-D I bought some more Lego today, of the internet so it hasn't arrrived yet: I bought the big firetruck out of the new 7945 firestation (just the truck with the firechief in the driversseat), I already have the firestation and bought the truck for parts to build a regular fire-engine in the same new style. A bit like the 7239 truck but MUCH more beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
