Just been sent the official press release from LEGO: http://brickfanatics.co.uk/official-team-gb-minifigs-launched/ A couple of points worth noting, one they are called TEAM GB MINIFIGURES not Olympic, different license plus The Team GB LEGO Minifigures will be in available from July 2012 in the following stores: Argos, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Hamleys, WH Smith, John Lewis, Smyths, and Toys R Us. Some interesting facts regarding the minifigs: LEGO Minifigures are the top selling toy in the UK (February 2012, NPD) The LEGO Minifigure has been around for more than 30 years 43% of households in the UK with boys have bought LEGO Minifigures at least once If all the LEGO Minifigures in the world got together it would be the most populated country in the world Over 4 billion Minifigures have been produced over the last 30 years

I used part 60594 with a clear window so it stayed open and then had a small window next to it, as O based mine off English style vans

Yes as rufus said no trades here, I will only deal with pm's as they are easier to track. Back on topic I think it is awesome that Team GB contact TLG to do these hence why they are TEAM GB exclusives not Olympic exclusives, a different license altogether.

To repeat what i have said already, I will be getting a few boxes to distribute to those not in the UK at cost price plus P&P.

See told you, will still be taking orders for them as well.

Nice one pal, will use these for sure

The Garage looks awesome, I so will be getting this later in the year.

There isn't all the Pirate sets have various alternative models on the back, just to give you an idea of what you could build but never any instructions. You will need to use the image above as your point of reference.

Really nice little MOC, looks as good as the ones I see on the streets.

Thanks for the clarification Rick. Gutted about it but understand you have to draw the line somewhere.

I want to enter the contest under Category 3: Classic Modular and in the rules it states "Entries should be 32x32" but not must be. So I feel the rule is flexible. I am just putting the finishing touches on to a modular building in LDD that will be 32px wide. The building has the correct paving at the front of the building and is every way a modular building, except one issue. The building is more that 32px in length (depth). This is because of what the building is, other buildings will still click together and it won't look out of place in the line up and was wondering would my entry be accepted or not? I am willing to send some images of the building to a staff member via pm if it helps them to decided. Sorry for the rambling but like to be 100% sure first.

I spoke to the main designer at the LEGO Show at the weekend and he was awesome to speak to. He told me the Friends theme will be around fro as long as it's popular enough, just like the City theme. 2013 waves promises to be interesting.

Thanks you two, the good thing is the major expensive parts are out of the way. The HQ in the LDD pictures are no more. I am just putting the finishing touches to my new modular version.

Yes update time. Sections one to three are built. Does not look like much but the basesplates are not cheap Already ordered the parts for the beach, surf shack and changing rooms, should be done in next few weeks. The biggest change since my earlier LDD photos is the Coastguard HQ building. I have removed the original design and I am currently building a brand new one in Modular format. I hoping to have the built in time to enter the Eurobricks contest, for now enjoy photos of sections 1-3:

I have always wanted and ice cream truck for my City I like both your ideas, I look forward to seeing the real thing soon.

I loved it met loads of awesome people, my images are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/65553751@N03/sets/72157629973796181/ . I will be doing a full report on my site later and also their will be video footage soon as well.

Right it will push me to finish my design on LDD and get it built before the deadline. Will be my first contest I've entered

With the Winchester TLG/Cussoo was damned if they do damned if they don't but if people read the statement they can't really moan as they loved the idea but due to the nature of the film it was turned down. I hope this does not have a negative effect on the whole Cuusoo project as it is something I am a fan of. I think EVE will pass the review stage and it will be interesting to see BTTF reviewed

The winchester got rejected http://legocuusoo.posterous.com/results-of-the-lego-review-for-the-winchester

I was at the Liverpool store yesterday and bought the Fire Brigade and was told what stock they had was all that was left as it was getting discontinued. I built it today and it looks awesome.

Thanks I have just started ordering parts for sections 1 and 3 so expect and bigger update within next week
