    Agents Gold Hunt MOD

    There are 10 gold bars in total for this set, so it's great if you want gold for its price. The MOD is SO much better than the original truck, and I have the set, but I never thought to remove the backseat chair and railing on the side for extra storage and proper doors. At least now you can actually fit the minifigs in the truck!

    Review: Hyperspeed Pursuit 5973

    I suppose I can, as soon as I have time. I'll need to take, upload and deeplink the pics. I could imagine the Skull Twins are like marmite. (And, luckily, I love marmite sandwiches )

    Most Expensive Minifig(s)?

    Chrome 3PO, I'm pretty sure. However, orginal MISP first minifigs would also be very valuable.
  4. Excellent idea (or just any Lego model of a Rancor would be nice)

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    Thanks for that update NT Fenson - I was hoping the book would come with that minifigure. I can't wait for that book to become available, and I hope it's not too much

    Review: Hyperspeed Pursuit 5973

    I second that. The main reason I got this set was because it had what I thought was the best alien ship in the current Space Police III line. I must admit I didn't expect the Twin heads to be as detailed as that - and two sided. But the main factors I got this set were the best designs of alien and Police ship alike. I would say that Police 'hyper-cruiser' comes in my top 5 ever Space vehicles I've also edited the review to provide a total score for all aspects of the set

    Review: Hyperspeed Pursuit 5973

    The price has been added to the list for other Aussies Thanks for the response guys. @ lordofdrangonss: I agree. The twins look cute in their own little way, as well as trying to be evil. @ Alldarker: I love the way that the fins on the hot rod could be removed and wheels put in. I'm not a big fan of town though, so I doubt I'll do it. However, the Police vehicle looks as home in space and is definately a Space only vehicle @ Darth_Legois: The opening mechanism for the prison pod really doesn't open that much, but it depends what way you hit the opening panel.

    [MOC] Corporate Alliance Tank Droid

    I second that KimT, those minis look straight out of a Lego box (although they don't seem to make them any anymore ) All the nice Clone Wars minis lately have gone to brickmaster, but lets not start a rant about that. The binocular pieces are perfect for dual laser cannons and of course the small dark bley disks are perfect for the sides. I hope to see the large counterpart in stores in the UK/ on the website soon!

    LEGO Star Wars 2009 Sets and Rumours

    edit: Sorry nope not the right place. Keep comments on availability in the right topic please. I don't mean to come of harsh, but I am getting tired of comments on S@H availability in this topic. Post it in the "Star Wars Sets Anyone?" topic on such matters. If in doubt on where to post what, then check the Star Wars Forum Index.

    Pictures for the new board games

    I was going to do the same but you saved me the trouble of doing it I would like to see more detailed pics of the Pirate and Egyptian games but they weren't in the magazine. Those miniminifigs definately do not have removeable heads but some of these games will be great parts packs! It brings me back to the days of that Orient Expedition board game (except these are far better)

    It's a good thing that the Orc is now in a smaller set, because

    Best Summer 2009 Bionicle Set

    I never recongnise most of the bionicle names so I barely ever know which name refers to which set. However, I will admit that I do think the weapons this year are amazing and Mata Nui has the best design. I love that mask!

    Lost twinkie

    I don't get the joke, but it's still pretty funny and the animations is really good!
  16. True, I like the idea, but it is the MODs who know about these things. Perhaps they might give us a clue at some point. Patience.

    E3 Sony stuff

    I don't get why Final Fantasy, as a role playing game is so popular. Perhaps it is because it is one of the only role playing games but they all seem to be the same. I've never known anyone personally who has even played FF games at all, but I can't comment on the quality, becuase I haven't played it either. I would still like to see some E3 stuff about Motorstorm Pacific Rift downloadble content!

    Space Police

    Oh well - at least when you buy your sets they are cheaper (but I shall go no further) I ordered: 1x Hyperspeed Pursuit (Perhaps the only set more than

    E3 Sony stuff

    Don't forget the amazing new downloadable content for Motorstorm Pacific Rift - Speed Pack and Adrenaline Rush pack I wonder if there would be any infor on the next Timesplitters game... BTW guys, I got a PS3 given to me on release date, not only as my birthday present but my brother's as well. That's how I sorted the costs. Besides, I buy new controllers and games all the time with my own money! Don't worry, I still have enough money for Lego

    Ben 10 discussion thread

    Could see some weird elements in this line. I mean, how can you create Spider Monkey or Brainstorm with current Lego elements. If you're wondering, I did my research (this involved watching an episode to see what it was like) Mind you, it can't get much weirder than the '"making toys of toys" with Toy Story Lego. I hope TLG remember some of their older fans!

    LEGO Sets Price Increase

    Well said Suvie, but I feel I just can't help myself from still getting some great sets (just less of them).

    Space Police 2009!

    I also live in the South (and slightly West) and the proximity of a Lego store is quite frankly shocking! However, I am pleased to inform you that Space police III sets are at the UK Lego brand stores AND are on the S@H new items page but are listed as not available. I was hoping they would be avilable on Monday or Tuesday!

    LEGO Rock Band Trailer

    The song selection will probably be toned bown for 'younger rock bands' but I hope not too much!

    New sets available on LEGO.com!

    Yes, it's true for the UK S@H too. All these sets are on 'what's new?' but aren't available: All the non-special edition Space Police sets (hyperspeed pursuit and galactic enforcer still don't have cache pics) All the non-special edition Star Wars sets (everything except mid-scale falcon and Pirate Tank) All the newest City sets All the newest Agents 2.0 sets Some new Duplo sets (maybe all of them) There are NO Indy sets on yet
  25. Hello everyone! Haven't posted for a while. I've literally just been to my local TRU to investigate which sets are there. I was surprised to see first that a small Star Wars display had been introduced near the door. Upon closer inspection, the display actually said... FREE 4cm DARTH VADER MINIGURE WHEN YOU SPEND
