Wow talk about LEGO trying to expand their reach around the worl... i mean the galaxy! what next a factory on the moon to save on shipping cost

Looking great LT, Very nicely detailed as usual mate, I really like the fridge what about if you put in a magazine stand under the front window, a snack aisle, or a Mr cool ice freezer and a Swap and Go gas cage out the front? They are at every servo/roadhouse we pass, we use them when going to our farm but we are moving onto the 100 lbs bottles this week..

My ever loving wife is in line as we speak waiting for the doors to open, She is more excited to get diagon alley then me i think lol... and her knight bus she has a passion for purple and it being LEGO its a win win in her book me i get to stay home looking after the kids ahh well...

this looks fantastic LT!! I'm picturing the black plates as rubber mats so the poor workers dont go home with sore feet nice touch! love the drop saw and metal press very nicely done Vegimite in the fridge? never!!! specking of Ice box... thats one thing i always see and use when going to my farm on weekends always need a few bags of ice to keep me tinnies cold maybe one of these out side one of your store?

copy and paste... copy and paste another nice looking machine LT, this is one cool looking store keep em coming whats happening with this so called Pub and the continuation of the Mall? way too many projects at once it seems

i use Isocol to remove Sticker residue, i find it very effective and doesn't harm the plastic at all an its in chemists here in OZ

yes i have seen the pod racers, Falcon etc in Big W in Werribee in Melbourne yesterday but i didn't check for prices sorry

Looking Good LT Looking Good!! i notice you have built a wall between the vodaphone store and MisterMint, one suggestion for Mistermint now that there is no access point for the store owner how about putting in a bench door that lifts up and and the bottom opens in? like this? and opens like this?

how about a docking bay for deliveries? down past the toilets to a service hall as i use to deliver stock to the clothing stores like Katies and thats how we wheeled in the stock to and from the docking bays

this is looking awesome LT the details are very well thought out with the coffee kiosk why not make it a Donut King? they make coffee and also er.. donuts 2 items for one store plus they are in every shopping center and i would go for the L-shape center, i seem to recall walking in a few like that... with couches put around for the elderly to rest

Yep i was told the same thing a few weeks ago but took no notice of the guy as he said the sort and store heads wont be coming at all then 2 days later they were on the shelves if they do begin to have less Lego i wonder why my local store moved their Lego aisle to a larger one that is almost twice as long as the original one, my opinion of those that work at K-Mart is that they are as useless as T!ts on a Bull, i give up asking them when this and that will come in they don't know anything, now if it were me working there i would do my best to find out what is coming either it be Lego, Barbie, Beanz, Hot Wheels, Star Wars or what have you, its all about customer service and they don't have any!!

or not even school girls

my kid is always bugging me to get something from a gumball machine and for once i would be happy to throw a few coin in those machines 1) keep my kid happy 2) keep daddy happy when they get sick of it a win win in my book

you know what they say, "never trust a man with a beard" i dont think he will get many sales until he is clean shaven... or has some cars in the dealership looking great LT a very slick design there the spare parts department looks ace and that hoist looks wickered!! BTW is it your Printer that's making your decals look all pixelated? it would be such a shame if it were, using them Photo paper sticker sheets and not getting the clarity these so deserve...

what about us Poor Aussies not only Dont we get any of these offers.. yet you have Lego Brand stores (we dont) you get PAB walls and choose any peice you want and only pay $15 for a large cup for it and you also pay over half the price we pay for the same product... and yet you want free lego? give me a break you have good over there...

i have a 4 year old girl who loves to build castles and buses but i bet she would love a Disney princess theme....

QAR will be at target with 20% off all Lego this Thursday for $150 save $50

the docket says its only redeemable with womens clothing and underwear!... i dont ever recall seeing Lego in those aisles

even if the dollar weakened or not we will still have a mid year toy sale, its only a couple of months away so with our dollar so strong all retail stores will make a tidy profit anyways even if they ordered stock last month, sea freight will take a few months to get here so its win win for them... if they by passed LEGO themselves and ordered from a U.S wholesaler i bet they would get a much better deal with the wholesalers, i am also a Star wars fan and i remember when K-mart had the Hasbro Turbo Tank at the mid year toy sale a couple of years back and i brought a couple, i had an issue with one of them (mainly stickers) i rang Hasbro Australia to get replacements and they said to me that they cant because K-Mart out source that product and that they dont have any yet in the warehouse as of yet.. so i know that they do skip the respected company's from time to time

why dont you kill 2 birds with one stone/Brick and do a Ford XE ute? or a panel van?

i wasn't sure if it was butt or bud so i made an executive decision and chose butt(should have goggled it) i guess i was wrong, but hey whats new?.. just ask my wife

im just waiting for the Mods to nip K.O.B in the butt

i cant speak tbroyd but im guessing that the UK very rarely have high humidity, same as me in Australia i live in Melbourne which is as far south on the mainland as you can get and humidity is very low through out the year, we may have some in our summer but only 10 days in those 3 months if we are unlucky but we have our air conditioner anyways so humid temps never get through our front door

mine van is the same as this one i can see cracks are almost in the same bricks including the 1x1 white plate under the Trans Orange 1x1 plate and mine has only ever been in a dark room with the rest of my sets, i think its time to contact TLG and im in Australia

awesome news that they will stay intact, For sure just finding the space to sit and build as well as juggling 2 kids under 4 makes it hard to find the necessary time to start by the time the kids are in bed asleep i want to go too such is life i can tell you now they wouldn't be half as good as what yours are, plenty of ideas but lack of technique
