    Yep, Cardiff had new Star Wars, new DC Superheroes, new Technic (gotta get that new large racer) and new Creator sets. They might've had more but i wasn't really interested in other themes.

    The Cardiff store was crazy busy but mostly with families with kids. I picked up the Slave 1 and the bird Ideas set, the Slave 1 was the last on the shelf but as I turned from the counter after paying I could see the staff were already putting new sets out (this was around noon). It's a hefty build but still reasonably priced for an UCS set. I'm very nervous about picking it up though, still not sure where the solid/wonky areas are. And I've lost count of the number of times those landing lights popped off the bottom of the ship as I was sliding it around the table adding pieces.

    No, just series 13. They weren't even really supposed to be selling those but their stock is so low at the moment they had to do something to entice the punters in (I was told this by the staff). I only popped in as I was passing. Going up next week for the UCS Slave 1.

    Just a quick heads-up regarding the new CMF series, the Cardiff Lego Store has been selling them since Boxing Day.

    I called my local Lego store today to ask if there were any upcoming VIP offers and was told there were none. Can you elaborate on your email please?

    The one in the centre of town. I felt out fifteen of sixteen. Looks like the barbarian is seriously short-packed.

    Series 12 minifigures are available in selected Argos stores as of today (there are two branches here in Llanelli, one had them, one didn't).

    It's pretty much the correct scale for the old-school technic figures. It's also a total dust magnet, black shows this up worse than any other colour.

    You have no idea how big a grin I have on my face just from seeing the name Llanelli on this forum.

    Yeah, I'm getting this too and it's pretty annoying.

    Smyths have started selling Ecto1. Visited today (Monday) and asked when it would be in. The assistant told me they had them in the warehouse, they just hadn't put them out yet. He was more than happy to get one for me. They had all the new Star Wars sets out too, the B-wing, the star destroyer, the AT-AT, the snowspeeder and all the crappy prequel ones.

    Beautiful. My first car was a Morris 1000 and he's nailed the shape perfectly.

    Totally Strider Hiryu. (kids, ask your parents) Love it.

    I've attended the SDCC for the last two years, going again this July. The minifigures are given out in a raffle, you have to be lucky.

    Who?

    What a great little set. Tempted to get one. Let's have a quick look on eBay to see what they go for... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEGO-MOVIE-PROMO-PRESS-KIT-TIN-THEATRE-SET-9-MINIFIGURES-RARE-/121296293312?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3dd28dc0 Oof! Never mind!

    The UCS Falcon. But rumours are circulating...
  18. into the blue
    Me too. Bad form.

    With a paint job like that, the red one has to be the car from Starsky & Hutch. Am I showing my age here?

    Just picked up four-day tickets in the pre-reg sale. I'll see you all there for the madness in July.

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

    I have to admit, it's a bit of a fugly ship. It's extremely delicate, the top and bottom plates are held on by hinges on the outer rim, even look at 'em the wrong way and they fall off, and other plates are held on by tentative 1x1s. I put it together out of curiousity but I doubt it's going to stay on the shelf for long, especially now that I've found plans for the Skyhopper.

    Finally got around to putting this together today. Jeez, what a fiddly build! https://www.facebook.com/#!/sean.thomas.1257/media_set?set=a.10201789110066489.1073741837.1143884522&type=1

    I doubt there'll be much left, the store was crazy busy when I was there, I had to phone in advance for them to hold the 70709 behind the counter for me. Everyone was going bonkers with their Christmas money and most of the boxes on the sale table had gone, although I suspect some of the new releases will still be in stock.

    The Galaxy Squad line is being discontinued, hence the big price drop. The Cardiff Lego store had that whole range on sale the day after Boxing Day, I picked up 70709 for £55 (it was originally £80). They had lots of good deals on Ninjago and Lone Ranger sets too, and had new stock on the shelves including the new superhero, Lego Movie and Star Wars kits. They also have the new Lego Movie minifigure range in too. Those new Star Wars microfighters are sooo cute.
