This needs to go on Cuusoo...

Yeah, I was up at TRU to buy the Earth Dragon the other day, and they had the spy jet, but not big bentley. Odd. I was also at target a few days ago and got Flo's cafe since it was marked down from $60 to $41. SCORE! [EDIT] - Ultimate build McQueen was also marked down at Target.

THANK YOU MEDIB! I must say, that's really odd. I looked forever on that site but i couldn't find it, and now it randomly turns up. Thanks again! MF out

I got the Big rig truck stop set (6393) a while ago, and it was missing the brick1x3x5 with the jack and gas pump pattern. Under normal circumstances, I'd buy the part of BL, but NO ONE has the part there, and it's not even in the reference catalog! I was wondering if someone had the part available to trade or sell. Thanks! MF out

I was at my local TRU today and noticed they've marked up the castle to $164, the train to $98, and the burrows to $79. What will they do next?!

Maybe a Back to the Future line, though a lot of young Lego fans wouldn't know what the heck is would be, or maybe a Portal 2 (Think of GLaDOS! or Wheatley!) line, or possibly even a Half-life (2) line. (Imagine Nihilanth...... Though that may be a little too gory of a line to put in Lego form, But there's always MOCing possibilities...)

Now that I look closer, It seems Cleopatra-lady's hair is reminiscent of Lady Gaga's hair at times! Oh, and GODZILLA!!!!!!!

You know what would be ever better? Quiddich packs! They could have one for each house, so we'd finally get some other characters like Cho, or maybe Cedric! But, if they don't release more HP sets, it most likely won't happen.

Keep in mind though, the ad only shows McQueen, and we'll have no idea what the other sets look like until Toyfair. (Though the Tokyo grand circuit sounds interesting.) And for anyone who's interested, here's the Cars 2 trailer:

Wow. Even though I'm only a buyer on bricklink, I'm shocked. R.I.P Dan and my condolnces to his family.

Well, pretty much the only Dino Attack set I've ever owned (7474) said it, so I don't know about any others. MF out

Aanchir- According to the "components made in" side of a Dino Attack box (Circa 2005), parts of it (most likely the Dino) were made in china. So after all, parts were apparently made in china before 2006. MF out

The thing with the printing of heads and such has happened to me a few times with Dobby (The new fig) , 2 Spongebob Headpieces, The magician from Series 1 of the collectible minifigures , as well as the cheekbone of the pharoh from series 2 . The minifigs that happens with are usually made in China, but I'm not entirely sure about the Spongebob headpiece.

Just went to a garage sale today and picked up a giant tub of bulk bricks with pieces from the Mos Eisley Cantina, 1st edition Hogwarts Castle, Quiddich practice (not the new one), house of gryffendor, and many other sets for $25!!!!!

cylex7- I think you should get rotor and meltdown. One, because rotor and some decent pieces, and 2, Meltdown is downright awesome. Hope this helps! -MF

Hey EB, I'm reassembling my old Launch & Load Seaport, but I don;t have any of the stickers, (Yes, i'm a person who cares about stickers) and I was trying to find them on Bricklink, but the cheapest the entire sheet is selling for is $70! I was wondering if anyone out there had the complete sheet and would be willing to sell it for a reasonable price. Thanks! -Leo

I've been pretty lucky in the past few years. One of my major finds was on Craigslist, an older man was selling his son's old bin of Lego, and I managed to grab it before anyone else got it, $20 or $40 if I remember correctly, and guess what was inside? Many classic town and space sets along with 2 floatyboats! (What I call Lego boats that float in water.) Otherwise, the only few other rare things I've found are the Discovery Space shuttle with misprinted box (No set name) for $40, and a MISB Battle of Metru Nui for $50 in a small toy store called Salaria. I also saw someone selling Café corner for $45 (no box), and someone else selling the Railway Express and an Insectoids set for amazing deals, $75 for the train and $45 for the Insectoids thing. Sadly, I haven't gotten them yet and i'm not sure she even has them anymore. So all and all, i've been pretty lucky.

Hey all- I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but I'm confused as how to make stickers in Lego Digital Designer. I've seen on some ads a picture of a kid holding something he made, and it has custom stickers on it. So, I;d be happy for someone to answer my question: How, if possible, can you make your own stickers in LDD? Thanks! -MF

Yeah, and I'm glad I found it, because if some 5-year old had asked his parents to buy it, anfd then found the missing/extra piece, they'd be like " What the heck is going on? "

I just felt like I needed to post this, yesterday I went to TRU and bought Preston Stormer. When I got home I opened him and what do I find? They put in an extra one-piece arm and forgot to put in his chest armor! I think it's pretty rare to get something that according to Lego, happens in every millionth set. -Minifigure-fan

Yes, that's the minifig who i'm talking about.

Hey all, I have a question: I've seen this actual Max Minifigure in a polybag on bricklink, and I was wondering where do you get them? Because my local Lego store doesn't have them, and I just got back from Legoland/Santa Monica and they said they'd never heard of it! So, is it a promotional just-european thing, or is it something else? Hope somebody can help, -Minifigure-fan

Ohhhhh i really hope these don't get snapped up like the series 1 figs did! I can't believe TLG finally made a mime!!!

FINALLY! PICTURES! I've been itching to see this set, and now that I have, once I buy it, it'll make a wonderful addition to my Winter Toy Shop!

I just checked and it's public.
