A German webshop has series 4 for € 1,49 each: http://www.mikado-spieleland.de/index.php?a=645. Postage is € 3,95 minimum, but if you buy 20 bags you'll still save a lot of money.

A PAB order from s@h. More bricks towards my Batman tumbler! Woopwoop!

Another lady? Welcome!

It's great to see so many bookworms on here! I am 250 pages into "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. You really have to love your history/academic work to enjoy it properly. But I like it!

I gave in to Pharaoh Quest yesterday and bought 7307 Airplane (it was just too cool to ignore :D) 7306 Motorcycle 7305 Scarab (I just loved it for the coffee pot and the chicken leg :D :D :D) plus, got the awesome 40019 Sea Monster and the 3365 Moon Buggy. The latter one was just for the cool astronaut minifig :D

They had the treasure chest, I got one myself. must have sold out, while the lid is still there. Which is weird.

+1 for krystalKING. Thanks ever so much! Hope my package will arrive safely soon.

Awesome, and as inspiring as the lovely Steampunk MOCs on the Sci Fi board. Actually, since you mentioned Final Fantasy yourself, Peppermint, the Magitech engines first appeared in FF VI (my favourite of the series). Can't wait to see more!

Awesome picture, Mr. Penguin :D

It's published by the German Fantasia Verlag publishing house. They do lots of independent price catalogues for collectibles, like figures from Kinder surprise eggs etc. So yeah, it's definitely not an official guide, but certainly there will be more sets in it than in the official Lego Book. The publisher's website says it will be released on April 29 and cost 27,95 €.

I pretty much agree with davees really good and wise post. That's what growing up really means! Thumbs up, man. I openly display my built sets as long as there's space, just as decoration. My living room is a colourful little museum of geekdom and book/art love anyway, so a few Lego sets fit in there quite well. Interestingly people are really benevolent when I tell them about collecting Lego. When I asked my colleagues for a Lego shop voucher for my birthday, some of them were really nice and even browsed their own basements for leftover bricks from their kids. My boyfriend loves my Lego love anyway, and my sister's boyfriend nearly crawled into my Lego book when he saw it - we got it for him for Christmas and he loved it. He even called me at work to tell me when he bought the Fallingwater set. I think when people loved Lego as kids, they will never forget the good times they had with Lego and get nostalgic when you start talking about it. Good memories are always worth sharing, it's nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you are coping well with your life, why on earth shouldn't it be okay? Plus, there are people who work on model trains throughout their lives, who collect antiques, stamps, jazz vinyl, comic books, 18th century British watercolours, vintage dolls - it's all the same, and anybody who is a collector or has once been will understand what your hobby means to you, no matter how old you are. Another good thing is that I often know what kids in the bookshop I work in are talking about. :D Makes me invaluable!

Seconded. It's what I do with all the Batman sets, for their prices on Bricklink and amazon are just ridiculous. If you don't mind having no box and no printed instruction, then go for it! Usually you pay about the price the set would cost if it still was on the shelves, maybe a bit more. Good luck!

Aw, the Tumbler would be fantastic as it is my next building project. But I already started buying single bricks. D'oh.

Aw, and I kept my fingers crossed for a penguin on behalf of you! Well, they haven't revealed everyting yet, so there's still hope, Mr. Penguin. Ivy would be cool, too, for example. I love that Catwoman is in the game... as for the voice, it sounds quite generic, but okay so far - we haven't heard much of her yet anyway. Her one-liner made me roll my eyes, but you can't have it all!

I guess you're waiting for it, so: *oh2* *oh2* *oh2* WANT!!!

Fantastic pictures, everyone. If only I wasn't such a rubbish photographer!

I am still not keen on the Hogwarts set, but I love the dark green and brown of the Forbidden Forest. And the purpleness of the bus of course, even though it looks a bit too chunky for me. Will buy it, though, it is a fairly iconic set :D

Ha, you were faster then me, I just wanted to post the trailer. Aweseome, aweseom, awesome stuff!!!

Awesome work, monty! Love the dinosaur :D

Ooooh, nostalgia time! I was really into it when I was in my late teens. I only played the blue GB version, but it was so addictive! I tried the new version (don't know which one it was, it was in my boyfriend's brother's DS) the other day and it seems to be quite the same. If I may quote the joke my other half proudly cracked: The concept hasn't EVOLVED very much. I miss the first 150ish monsters quite a lot, but I think you just stick to the things who got you into something. Anyway, once again I am really tempted to get myself a Nintendo DS. Now that the 3DS is coming out the older ones might get cheaper.

I love all the steampunk MOCs coming up these days! The horse alternative is fantastic, well done!

Meh. I wish I could vote, too.

Hm, there was no special deal on Lego going on there, just the huge pile of S3 boxes... I'll keep an eye on it in my remaining week here.

There's only one thing to say: AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW :wub: :wub:

Hm. Toys R Us in Reading has stocked up four boxes of series 3 at the till - there has never been more than one before. Very, very suspicious... do I sense a clear-out?
