    Your just now starting to see the European pricing cross over the pond, £4.99 for a 32 x 32 green or blue baseplate in the UK, and £10.99 for a pair of road plates. I agree, I think they have been priced out side what most will pay, but if you've got to have them....... I just wish you could buy the 32 x 32 in more colours off the shelf, especially white, brown and tan.

    Here is me thinking all second half sets had to rhyme....plANE, crANE, I wonder if we will see any pictures leaked today? As per 2 Christmas ago?

    Worst single piece made by LEGO in 2014.......Ghostbusters instruction manual, does anyone own now that has not fallen to bits?

    Mmmmm, wonder why they have not done an article on a uk collector? According to brick set, I have 1368 sets, and they are all built, so technically I can get Guiness round to count them an award me a record, although I doubt it would stand for long, someone will no doubt have more. The number sounds very low?

    A grab truck / tipper truck with a grab loader/Hiab would be awesome!

    That's a great little poly bag, roll on 2015!

    But if your going to go to the effort of buying from pick a brick, you'll have to either pay delivery or spend a minimum of circa £50 GBP or equivilent, as the original parts are still available and not super expensive on bricklink, why not just buy the original part from a seller who has one and keep the integrity of a classic set complete and accurate? If you ever sell the classic space sets, having them complete and accurate would surely be in your favour financially.

    Appreciate it's probably a little bit late, and not the best picture of the balloon cart, but I think it's a good add on to the Mixer set, it's a reasonable scale to the trucks, but a little tall compared to a mini fig.

    My local independant Toy shop in Farnham had the smallest 4 demolition sets, I must admit, the blue truck, grapel loader and conveyor was priced at £35 which is a little more than I expected for this set. But that truck is lovely, Although I'll wait until after Christmas for that one. For the time being I just picked up 60072 and 60073

    I've always thought it's a shame they don't offer the 32x32 baseplate in brown/red/tan/white without having to try and source them from brick link/lego parts direct, etc. I'm sure they would sell well.

    Congrats to the winners, I feel a little sorry for the Nil pointers, a bit like Britain in Eurovision! Sorry guys

    It's intresting to think what the finished model would be that they would need to make to justify the development of a S motor, but I totally would like to see this and as someone mentioned earlier, there has to be a reason why they started making the M and XL motors first.

    I love these compact little builds, such a clever use of parts in a compact space to add functions to the model. Nice job,

    I reckon there is always 2 - 3 in backlog, but I can always find an old polybag or something small if I look hard. Currently I have a city train, arctic icebreaker and the Technic loader and Technic hauler in the backlog.
  15. paul_delahaye
    For me it's technic, followed by Train and then City/Creator, but with Modular buildings and a few exceptional creator expert sets thrown in the Mix, actually it's hard to pick just one.

    Many years ago I got a load of old style pneumatic cylinders and pumps out of the Bluewater Store pick a brick, I suspect they got them from some of the old Mindstorms add on sets, and they had broken them up, but that was a totally one off find.

    I'm sure the original instructions recommended an Ink Eraser (Rubber) or Methalated Spirits, lol, both hard to obtain now days and I doubt any are great for children

    I think it's a little harsh to say Technic was poorly represented, there were many displays that could not have functioned without a technic element. Plus tons of Mindstorms on offer which contains many technic elements. Some of these automated fair rides would surely fall apart without a technic backbone There was plenty of Technic functions involved in most of these GBC modules. The Volvo was a slight disappointment for me, I really was sure I read somewhere it was going to be a L350 at the exhibition, turned out to be a baby L60G But overall a great show, always good to support a new show, I just think they need to have an AFOL night, where they remove all the children, and just let the Adults in for a couple of hours, but lots to do, and not too many repeat models from STEAM which is always good. Roll on 2015, it can only get bigger and better (well, there is a limit, it's already pretty big!)

    Not one of the LEGO groups strongest areas this, just take a look at a set with large quantities of yellow in it. But this is not a LEGO bashing session, I'm sure it's massively complicated doing what they do with so many new parts each year.

    A new baseplate in an unusual colour :-) I wonder what the reference of the word Pool is? likely a pool table venue, but I'm unsure where it would be in the building? I can't quite read what it says on the windows of the ground floor building on the left either. I also really hope they have found a clever way to print onto clear glass, especially after Jamie mentioned with the PR how AFOL's wanted to pay a little more not to have stickers?

    I've already posted in buy and sell for UK offers, and whilst it's bad practice to repost, I think this is more relavent to this topic, I wanted 2 copies of the 42030 Volvo loader set to build both the A and B models, I'd been waiting for Argos in the UK to offer 3 for 2 on toys, but this year when the offer ran, they prevented you being able to order additional copies of the set into store during the promotional period. Anyway, instead the catalouge company "Very" were offering 3 for 2 on certain toys at the moment, the Volvo was in the offer, plus they had £30 credit for new customers, so I picked up 3 sets for the price of 2, plus the £30 credit made them £104.50 each, and they delivered next day, well chuffed.

    The UK Catalogue "Very" has 3 for 2 on toys at the moment, I've just picked up 3 of the Volvo Technic Loader for the price of 2, plus they had an extra £30 off credit for new members, so they worked out at £104 each, best price I've found. Argos 3 for 2 just was not cutting it

    I vote no, and pray for a few years without police sets :-)

    For me The bus was a great addition The crane was oversized The road sweeper was a poor attempt, but we got a part in a new colour I could do with 3 more of the cycle shop to make a cool building And another pizza shop?
