Instead of 1x1 rounds at the base, I used the back of headlight bricks to connect it to the baseplate. If there are any alternatives to this, I'd love to hear about it and experiment.

Thank you for all of your comments! I feel that this creation was truly inspired! I will be getting more parts and intend to build new versions! Do you mean this part? In what way would you position them? Will have to see about finding some. YES! Transparent colours! I am getting those parts in and will build a wave just in trans-dark blue or trans-light blue! I did build it curved at first, but the structure is flexible, so it can be curved any time! Tidal wave? I'm also thinking of building a tsunami! But your idea sounds great! Like a scene from "Deep Impact" "Day After Tomorrow" or "The Perfect Storm"

Hey craym0nk, I've seen them at Maddington, as of Wednesday. Better get in quick!

No worries. I heard that the Garbage Truck is also on clearance, but there weren't any

Big W is putting some sets on clearance, this is what I saw on the shelf: 7591 Construct-a-Zurg for $12 ($28 normally) 7598 Pizza Planet Truck - $30! (formerly $73) 7597 Western Train - $60! (used to be $124) Star Wars 8096 Palpatine's Shuttle $60 ($97) 8089 Hoth Wampa Cave $49 ($78) 8097 Slave I $90 ($142) 8098 Clone Turbo Tank $120 ($197)

Which is the better Agents set - the Volcano base or Mobile Command Center? Both look like they have many features and are increasing in value!

Kmart has put World Racers theme on the clearance track... (seen at Maddington and Cannington) 8897 Jagged Jaws Reef $25 8898 Wreckage Road $39 8899 Gator Swamp $39 8863 Blizzard's Peak $49 I hear that 8864 Desert of Destruction is also on sale, but did not see any Also: 5892 Sonic Boom $59 7789 Lotso's Dump Truck $20

May I suggest 7644 Hypersonic Aircraft? Available from Bricks to the World for $84, down from $140. Mind you, I used the flat rate shipping, Having it registered was too much for me.

Garden City has five Turbo Tanks left and about six Slave I sets left ($76.30) It was hard, but I had to walk away. I've also blown my budget. To those asking when the 30% off sale ends, the sign says "Offer valid while stocks last." Neither the Emerald Night, Imperial Flagship, nor the Battle of Endor was on offer. For those in Perth hunting for a Fire Brigade, check with Cannington. I saw three on Monday, not on offer at the time.

Thanks very much for that tip! Just scored myself one Just had to have a little patience. For those in the West, Myer in Freo has 4 Fire Brigades left! - $153.30 Forgot to see if the offer has an expiry date, sorry.

So far, I very much like the suggested idea fairytale set or a zoo set with lots of animals. Soon we'll be competing with those Schleich plastic animals I keep seeing at toy shops. How about a theme or set based on Amazons? Would that be too outrageous? Could have Hippolyte and other famous woman warriors. I was just looking at the 9349 Fairytale Minifig set and there's a female Imperial soldier and a woman holding dynamite! That's interesting! I wonder why TLC displayed them like that? Those should be expanded upon! Such as: - An Imperial Flagship or Pirate ship with female crews! - Bringing back the Western theme - a ranch with cowboys/cowgirls taming those wild stallions! A western saloon with a card game, piano and dancing entertainment. A gold mine with prospectors seeking fortune! Oh, my imagination is going nuts!

I've just bought one, mostly for the pure novelty of having a giant head! It'll look great on a layout as some kind of tourist attraction minifigs come to see The sort and store is not bad. To get the bricks all sorted, I stacked the compartments up and shook it. I don't think it's best way to sort, since it's round and there aren't any handles. I may just sift and sort through each compartment until I reach the bottom, see if that works better.

What?! That is unbelievable. I'm not even a SW collector and that sounds like a fantastic price!

Fire Brigade for $160! #&^@£!$? OMG! Edit: That promo doesn't appear to be in Perth just yet, I just called two Myer stores, still RRP. Darn, forgot to ask how many were left.

Hmm, I think we've got part of the ongoing debate about nature vs nurture on here. It sounds like the first few years of a child's life are a crucial period in deciding what they will like as they grow up. But after that, many of the habits will have set in, possibly for years to come. They can change, of course, but it would be due to the major influences in their life so far, including: family, peers, school or the media. Judging from recent posts, they affect the child in various ways. Would anyone agree with that assessment? Speaking of unusual figs, how about that Troll Queen? She was weird one

I just put this in the Aussie Sales thread, but I'm excited to report that they are available again! I just picked one up at Kmart! Cost me $38, but I'm glad I got it. Don't think there's much chance of getting it at $20 anytime soon. Sells on bricklink for $50! The distributor is Kidz @ Play. Does anyone know who was the previous one?

Kmart now sells the Sort & Store! Hasn't anyone seen it yet?? Dunno about Big W. Just picked one up for $38 in Maddington, WA!

If there were more sets that involved decoration and used soft colours like lime and tan, could that also attract girls? I look at the work being done by Legohaulic's little sister and I wonder, wouldn't girls like to recreate/design a bedroom like this in lego? It certainly has me interested.

Myer's a good place to get place the Log Cabin, if you can get 3 - just bought a bunch in Cannington. And 5765 Transport Truck is also available. Myer Cannington and Booragoon don't have S3 figs, but the city does, why is that? Deliveries are late? That Atlantis sounds very tempting as well, but have not seen it yet. Went to Bullcreek and Cannington - no Atlantis nor any S3 figs at all. Frustrating to know that Morley has them. I agree, Kmart has nothing much - you can get the Rebel trooper pack for $15 TRU Cannington has nothing good. Everything's at full price. And the store is deserted.

Target's latest catalogue says 20% off Lego and below it, 3 pictures of Ninjago sets. I'm guessing it's just Ninjago that the 20% off applies to? The page also says 20% off toy brands, and Lego Ninjago is one of them.

I find this conversation on pricing to be interesting. I'm always comparing the prices of sets here to the US. I'd like to know why we get ripped off, since it could be more of the same this year. Did you go with their flat rate postage, or would you recommend registered post? I'm thinking of ordering - they have the Mars Mission big spacecraft for $84, sounds good to me!

Oh you've sold them all! Congratulations. Mr Mustard is a lucky guy.

Are these sets still available, or have they been put up on bricklink? I'm interested in 8258 crane truck and 8063 tractor. I would like to know estimated postage to Australia.

I was just in Myer Cannington, and I got the 25% off right there! There were signs put up saying the sale was until Jan 8. I was there at 5:15pm. Maybe they had just put them up before closing... I had no idea it was a 1-day sale. It's strange, since I was in another Myer earlier today and there were no sale signs And I didn't receive any emails from Myer about this sale either I saw a bunch of Emerald Nights and Imperial Flagships (opened boxes) on the shelf. They had the new sets out as well: Star Wars - Bounty Hunter gunship, Mandalorian packs, Imperial V-Wings, Battle for Naboo and T-6 Jedi Shuttles City - Police minifigs, Police dog unit, Prisoner transport, Police truck, and the Station. Went to BigW Belmont - no sort & stores , nothing else interesting.

From the Melville area, WA Kmart Kardinya: 5893 Offroad Power $99 7596 Trash Compactor $79 7597 Toy Story train $99 5984 Lunar Limo $48 8192, 8194, 8195 Little Racers sets $8 and saw a tag for 8075 Neptune Carrier $53, but none left. Kmart Garden City, Booragoon 5 of the Hogwarts Express trains left @ $79 A buttload of 7207 Fire Boats left - 54 of them! (I wrote down $47, but that doesn't sound right, best to check for yourself) 16 Tantive IV left A bunch of the Fire Stations were put on the clearance price of, get this... $124! You're funny, Kmart Myer Garden City had nothing on sale and nothing new. They had 5 of them at Target in Bullcreek, but still at $69 And one Krusty Krab for $39 I wonder if the trains were hiding out back too... Oh well, looks like I'll be heading back at the next sale.
