MAB

Team GB were limited in the sense that they were sold only in the UK (and possibly Ireland, if I recall correctly). However, they were not limited within the UK. They were available at a number of outlets, all the usualy places that CMF are sold. And there were plenty before and during the Olympics, they even went on sale for a while at the end of the Olympics.

I don't believe that there are limits if you go through online PAB. If there are (999 or 9999 or similar), then phone them.

Another way is to stand them on a baseplate. It all depends what storage / display space you have.

You pay whatever your country's standard shipping costs are. It's free over a certain limit (£50 for UK) and can be combined with other items and help towards promos and VIP points.

But then the same could be said for the entire Friends, Elves and Princess series for some people. And that would mean the loss of minidolls and all the customers they have brought in. Minidolls are here to stay and there will be new characters done in minidoll form that probably will never appear in minifig form.

It would have to be a completely different head mold for minifigures.

No it wouldn't. It would look odd to have a minifigure Beast in a minidoll set. It looks perfectly fine to me.

I hadn't heard that. I'm fairly sure S12 and S13 were out in Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark. Not sure aout Luxembourg and Finland though.

Don't think about price per part. It's completely misleading. I could sell you a load of parts at 8c a piece, and would be ripping you off. Conversely I could sell you a load of parts at 50c a piece, and you'd be getting an incredible bargain. Think about what the parts are, rather than how many there are. Will you use them, if so get it. If you won't, it doesn't really matter how much they are per part.

Warwick Davis should get Yoda though, as he played him in a number of scenes.

Which ones? We have had them all in the UK. There are people that want armies of shark men. Animal costumed characters are always popular, so they have done the right thing making him a common one.

Confirmed, but nothing new. Not much of a teaser, just plain white minifigs.

They have removed them in the past. For example, the ghostbusters torsos were free for a while, then they realised and changed them to 58p or something, then eventually pulled them (even though they were still available for replacement parts). Green lantern was available for a long time, but got pulled before the bricks and pieces site went down. Remember that they are not meant to be selling licensed parts through bricks and pieces at all. Some but not all get through and they pull them when they realise. They just take a while to realise sometimes.

Take a photo of the collection, then phone customer services and explain you have a big collection. It is good they are reviewing this, as there are a number of websites saying how to get free parts (including some on here that have done it) without buying the sets, by abusing the service.

There are normally less parts available, after all by now they will have realised how many 1000s of Nick Fury bodies, and Sabine helmets they have sold and shouldn't have.

The initials AT appearing in preliminary space holders in set names.

I doubt you'll see them at the London one. As it is quite early, they reveal very little. Even a lot of what they do show is mock-ups rather than the real thing. And of course, no photos allowed. The German and NY ones are more likely to have something interesting but even then I doubt they'll show all the Disney figures at the German one.

Yes, of course she can. But I have multiple mitches already.

No, it is independent of ideas. As for Wizard of Oz, if there are no sets, the witch is pointless to me. Without Dorothy and the other key characters, having the wicked witch is pointless. If they do the others in a set, the they are likely to redo the witch too. So for me, she is redundant.

They =Shayd.I didn't realise it was already submitted. Talking about it on a lego forum is promoting it, just as much as talking about it anywhere else.

Well, in the original review, Whitefang got 2 Fishermen. In this thread, http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=53391, people mentioning finding at least three per box (although it is not clear if they opened the boxes themselves). I bought a sealed box in Jan 2011 and got four. It is also discussed here, for example, http://brickset.com/...rent-to-the-usa, where it was thought that European boxes were being packed with a different distribution to USA ones. But distributions of four fishermen were also found in the USA. It seems that the early boxes (and Whitefang's would have been an early one) had only 2 fishermen, whereas later runs had 4 fishermen. Not surprisingly, it was also reflected in the availability and secondary market price of fishermen. They were hard to get and expensive on BL, then became rather common and cheap at a faster rate than the others in the series. (I know they all start off with smaller numbers and more expensive at the start, then gradually drop as the set is more widely available and still in stores.)

Maybe they are now going to wait to list it, so that it truly has no promotion. Although even then if people are looking for it, it is a false test. As if they say that they are putting up a project and are not going to promote it, they have already promoted it as noted above. To really test whether projects get anywhere without any promotion, they'll have to post something under an anonymous name and not say that they have done it until the test is done.

No, they haven't. Series 3 had boxes with two different distributions.

They seem to rely more on renders and artistic impressions these days, rather than photographic images.

This is good practice. Put LDD in the title, so they are easy to avoid if you only like looking at real Lego mocs.
