  1. Precisely this. There is still an element of luck involved in some series, the recent Marvel ones had quite a few Captain America shields with only a small variation in other parts between a few. so I know I pulled a Bucky, thinking it was a different figure. I wish I could get a whole box, but the LEGO store couldn't and Online restricts your purchases. As Series 2 of Vidiyo seems to not have been distributed to other stores. I am certain ASDA and B&M would happily sell me a whole unopened box for the cost of each individual figure, however they still only have Series 2. Forced exclusivity means these opened series 2 figures are now on sale for upwards of £30 elsewhere.
  2. That is an old one! There was a while when a member signed off with it and everyone started to copy it and all the staff got sick of arguments about "copying" or whatever "cringe" was called back in 2009... So we just put that into the censor. Keep on Bricking, right?
  3. No no, the Boxes that the Vidiyo figures come in. Bags are fine, I can find the ones I want quickly and easily. What I think is terrible is that the Series 2 figures that I can only get in the LEGO shop of their online store: I bought three boxes at £3.99 each and had a duplicate. I know that in the US market people seem to be dredging the CMFs for re-sale, so yeah I can see your point. But locally here, it is not bad at all for people just buying some, in moderation.
  4. Blind Boxes are terrible and should be scrapped.
  5. "Sure thing. Here." Aysu handed the tooth over. "Its not like I can stick it to my gun!"
  6. "I think I will be happy far away from this before we anything accidentally sparks it off!"
  7. In fine position, Aysu fired on the Juvenile Polar Gator.
  8. "Scratch that, no time! I'll shoot the chopper from here!"
  9. I can't find anything else that LEGO produces that could match? Sometimes it is a little photoshop trickery that takes out the bits the builder does not want seen.
  10. "Need a hand?" Aysu moved to the spot Polaris had vacated and Fired on the Chopper
  11. I aim to educate! I remember my first event and the abject confusion my "Wenglish" caused let alone other slang!
  12. "Alrighty." Aysu moved to follow instructions from Enson.
  13. I know right? I suppose I am somewhat shielded by the fact that I like to use my points to discount on big purchases I cannot be arsed to carry around for a day of shopping. (When I go to Cardiff, I am out for a day of retail therapy and hauling a massive set is not on the agenda). So far, the changes are naff as.
  14. That looks like one of these.
  15. "Hmm, Firing again!" Aysu had a bead on her foe, it was time to shoot it down. Shooting at Juvenile Polar Gator
  16. Moving to M8, Aysu fired on the Juvenile Polar Gator. "Good Job this one is smaller!"
  17. I am looking now at my "to sort" pile and it is making me quite nervous. The beast grows and it has all of my purchases from the past two years. So I know parts will be in it, but I also have to hunt them down "old School" style!
  18. "Ouch!" Aysu tried to duck the bird, but it scored a strike. "If someone can get that close range hawk A, I'll Target Hawk B, looks optimal range for me."
  19. I am having trouble figuring any labels on this battlegrid. Which square do I move to? (Sorry, long day, I was at Comic-con but I don't want to delay the game)
  20. Aysu fired on the Nearest Frost Hawk (I can't see the label for it!)
  21. It is fascinating how different your perception of language can be depending on where/how/which first language you are raised on. I work with a lot of deaf guys and we communicate fine (A rough mixture of lip reading, written words and mime!) and one of my friends is deaf and we write notes back and forth (I am too dyspraxic to be any good at sign, unfortunately) I don't have any real hang ups about the use of the term Legos. But is still sounds weird to me. Then again, I live a few streets down the hill from the Indian Takeaway, so I say "I went Up the Indian for some curry." Someone else lives a few streets above, they "Went down the Indian for a curry." And that sounds strange!
  22. "Keeping 'em peeled." Aysu took her rifle, ready for anything coming their way.
  23. This guy's head and hair look perfect for an Adventurer villain. I will be using it myself for just that!
  24. "Can we just get a lat and long then nuke this from orbit?" Aysu also looked around, trying to spot any potential threat.
  25. "Okay, rancid... What I would give for an environment suit..." Aysu stepped back, fresh kills were one thing, but even out on the ice this thing stank.
