30% off toys at Farmers stores until tomorrow. I picked up 3 Alien Invasion Tripod sets so I now have an invasion force of 1 mothership, 3 abduction UFO's and 6 tripod UFO's. Should look good on my next show display layout

I really like this 4 wide truck in Maersk colours. I think I will have to modify mine into 6 wide to match the current truck size. I have a one carton (24) of these unopened that I got off a LEGO sales rep many many years ago when there was a LEGO yellow truck tour of New Zealand. If I remember rightly I paid $NZ 17 each and they retailed for $NZ 24 each then.

Picked up the Tokyo International Circuit set 8679 today for $160. I bought 3 Maersks early in the year when LEGO S@H had free worldwide shipping. Think I will get the Red Cargo Train that way next year. Been buying most my sets this year at The Warehouse or Farmers sales (usually 20% -25%).

From a fellow New Zealander, this is a great model and original design. I have been thinking of building the Wellington Cable Car but not sure how to build / operate the passing loop. from a fellow

Is Toyworlds 20% sale on today? There is a Cars 2 set that is exclusive to Toyworld and normally is $200. Which is a bit much for the number of pieces in it. But $160 would be OK for it.

LEGO is addictive. Selling most of your old LEGO to me just gave you withdrawl symptoms

I have never modified LEGO before but a round file to enlarge the hole will be on my list to do for this life jacket.

Due out in July in NZ and the price has gone up 20% above the price for the other modulars. So I hope the increase is due do piece count and not a general increase like that for the new City sets in 2012.

Since I am more of a vehicle builder/modder I prefer the 2nd wave. I can see that the horse float is very similar to the City one. The camper could also be modded quite well. The small boat is also similar to the red City one and you get a great sand castle. Plus a VW Combi van

I would but 99% of my LEGO (1000+ sets and another 300+ sets for spare parts) are in storage in Napier, a city 300km's away. We live in a one room apartment in the capital city Wellington so I only have parts bought recently from sets or Bricklink

I know we will be getting a Friends Advent Calendar The ambulance looks like a fast response vehicle for a paramedic. Going by the size of vehicle (4 wide) and sticker on the side. In NZ we use cars or SUV's for this.

My list also has 9465 The Zombies 9461 Swamp Monster 9462 Mummie 9463 Were Wolf 9464 Vampire Hearse 9465 The Zombies 9466 Frankenstein 9467 Ghost Train 9468 Vampire Castle

V-LI-08F I needed something for my Traffic Management Truck to do so I made this roadside mower attachment for my tractor. Round white disc will be replaced with blue and white arrow once I do a Bricklink order. My vehicles are left hand drive as are most LEGO company ones even though I live in a right hand drive country. Reference photos Enjoy

Some of the summer sets 3063 Plane 3184 Camper 3185 Riding Camp 3186 Horse Trailer 3189 Horse Stable 3937 Speedboat 3938 Bunny house 3939 Music Great parts for a City builder like me

I joined in February 2007 and become member 1340. I have always had a thirst for anything to do with LEGO since I started collecting in 1985. I started up my own Bulletin Board System in 1992 so I could get a Fidonet feed of rec.toys.lego After the Internet became avaliable I think Lugnet was my forum choice. At some stage I found Eurobricks and am on many times a day. I enjoy the contact with fellow AFOL's from around the world. It is great to communicate with others that share my passion as New Zealand is a small country with not many AFOL's. I love showing off my MOC's and displays and the feedback I get. Eurobricks is the greatest LEGO forum for me

Now that it is official here are the sets I know about: 9469 Gandalf Arrives 9470 Shelob Attacks 9471 Uruk-hai Army 9472 Attack on Weathertop 9473 The Mines of Moria 9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep 9476 The Orc Forge Enjoy

You have to wait for email from LEGO to activate your access. I have joined as NZLEGOMAN1

oppps my mistake, is modular set

No hospital but there is a Town Hall in July

Don't know where Sylvester is, but I know there are horse related sets coming out in August

LotR

One set is called "Vampire Hearse". Must be the first time that LEGO has produced a hearse set

To be released in NZ in August

Eight sets due out in August and they would make a good theme park with the variety of monsters and size of some sets

Seven sets due out in September. If I say more my source will kill me.
