Yes, i bought some of my minifigures at Müller. Usually they have 1-2 boxes there.
You can also buy them at Karstadt.

In Series 13 we got a King and now we have a Queen - so let's play chess!
Unfortunately the black Knight is about to capture the Queen after some moves. The King as well as the frightened Pawn are condemned to watch ...

Wow, thanks Robert. Your entries aren't so bad either
Too bad that I created my account so late and can't vote at all

I chose the Series 12 Prospector and placed him into a vignette which was slightly inspired by "The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck". The theme should be Western.
[Local Landmark] King-Friedrich-August-Tower - Löbau, Germany
in Special LEGO Themes
Posted · Edited by FrankM
Hi guys, here is my entry for the "Local Landmarks Contest":
I decided to rebuild the King-Friedrich-August-Tower (König-Friedrich-August-Turm) which is located in eastern Germany nearby the town Löbau and is named after a former king of Saxony (Friedrich August II.).
It's the only observation tower made of cast iron in Europe that still exists and the parts of the tower were actually made in the iron works of my hometown Bernsdorf back in 1854!
During realizing it in LEGO there were some problems to solve. The base of the tower is a regular octagon, which is not the most common shape of Lego parts and I had to find parts that can represent the iron construction.
I decided to use the binocular piece which ended up in a very fragile construction. But, finally I am very pleased with the result, even if it is a little bit unstable ;)
