Alien Conquest is available at Target East Victoria Park. This store usually gets sets last in Perth so I'm surprised the sets are not anywhere else. Has all Alien Conquest sets (I think) except for the large vehicle (the one with the nnenn figher on the back). No new HP as of last Friday 8/7. -Noodles

Designer's Office by Noodles140 Marika models the concept Phase 3 'Stormtrooper' armour system from galactically renowned armour designer Kristian Marchamps. Kristian hopes to impress the assembled Clone Troopers with his concept before seeking further development funding. -Noodles

This is exactly what I want to say as well. -Noodles

According to the retailers catalogue all the train sets are not meant to be out until August. -Noodles

For those chasing 7936 Level Crossing I asked at Myer Perth CBD today and was told: * Myer are expecting them, don't know when but should be soon * The barcode scanned in the system (from the barcode in the store copy retailer lego catalogue) * They will be ~$23 on sale (good price even if just for the straight track) -Noodles

I bought myself a beutiful Emerald Night from Myer on Friday fopr the bargain price of $107.10 (20% off + further MyerOne 10% off). Built it over the weekend. I love it! It is unpowered as the PF pack is *very* expensive. Next is to make some sort of display. Thankyou Myer sales! I never would have got it otherwise. -Noodles

Mr Cowboy and Mr Forestman (Noodles' prizes) say "Thanks Eurobricks & Classic-town.net members! And thanks WhiteFang!". -Noodles

lasoo.com.au has 8092 Luke's Landspeeder marked as 'Only at Big W', whereas 7694 Pig Farm & tractor doesn't say the same, so might be able to get this elsewhere too. If the Landspeeder arrives at Big W before the sale starts on 1 July then it might be worth picking one up as I expect it will be very popular. I think I'll have to buy a few if I can. -Noodles

Thanks everyone for participating in this contest, both to those who entered and those who voted. This was my first ever LEGO contest and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers, -Noodles

My vote is one point each for: 9) Forestman Entry (Build by Sandy) 35) Robot Entry (Build by Колпак) 54) Magician Entry (Build by Skalldyr) Nice job everyone. -Noodles

I too would like to join the Academy. Thanks, -Noodles

Колпак, love the robot-shaped hole in the wall. -Noodles

Sticker price at is $199.95 so drops to $150. I have seen these Endor sets at a Toyworld for $299.95! -Noodles

Toyworld Balcatta (Erindale Rd, just east of freeway) had minifigs last weekend. Perfect opportunity for any interested Perthies to pick up one of the 5 Endor sets I saw at Myer Garden City last night.

Target Perth CBD now has stock of Minifigs in the LEGO section of the store. 2 boxes opened and 2 unopened. $3.75 each. -Noodles

Dunjohn, thanks :). And thanks to WhiteFang too. -Noodles

For the Skater (aka Emo Kid): This will be pane-ful (lol). -Noodles

After randomly grabbing 10 bags from the Toyworld Balcatta (WA, $3.99 each) this afternoon I scored: 1 x Robin Hood, Robot (awesome), Dummy, Clown, Ninja, Caveman 2 x Magician, Diver Halfway to collecting the set. Very happy although I would have loved finding several Spacemen and more Robots. -Noodles

WA update - Still searching for the elusive minifigs (Midland is too far for me). I tried Toyworld Claremont (WA) by telephone, they will have Collectible Minifigs earliest next week. I tried Toyworld Fremantle (WA) by telephone, they said they had them in stock. But on arrival they actually only have the boxed Impulse Sets, not the bagged Collectibles. -Noodles

Tried Toyworld Subiaco (WA) for Minifigs. They had no idea what I was talking about... -Noodles

Hear hear! -Noodles

I dropped in to Kmart Garden City/Booragoon last night. They only had PoP Fight for the Dagger ($49) & Desert Attack ($18 or $19). No Ostrich Race or the 2 big ones. Such a shame on the prices as Kmart had been doing so well this year, pretty much Big W prices. Myer had no PoP sets. -Noodles

MYER sale starts tomorrow. See here: http://www.lasoo.com.au/search/lego.html And spend over $50 and get the free bunny. Noodles

Just visited Target Perth City store. They have the new SW sets and new Toy Story sets. No new City/Town or Space Police or Atlantis sets yet. Also had some of the small Racers sets, but I didn't bother with those. Prices: TOY STORY 7590 $35 (Woody & Buzz to the Rescue racing car) 7591 $40 (Construct-a-Zurg) 7592 $50 (Construct-a-Buzz) 7593 $60 (Buzz's Star Command Spaceship) 7594 $100 (Woody's Roundup) 7595 $23 (Army Men) STAR WARS 8083 $23 (Rebel Hoth Battlepack) 8084 $23 (Imperial Hoth Battlepack) 8085 $50 (Freeco Speeder) 8086 $50 (Tri-fighter) 8087 $90 (TIE Defender) 8088 $110 (Arc-170) Prices were all round dollars, i.e. $23 not $22.95, which I found a bit weird. I also visited the David Jones and Myer stores but they have no no new sets at all. Looks like Big W is the place to shop so far... - - - - - Noodles

Quite right. I was thinking them from a purely structural frame building POV, which is quite near-sighted. But of course, on reflection, the friction ridges are very useful for things like doors, dozer blades, crane arms etc. where having something stay open slightly, or move more slowly is required. Thanks for the replies. Noodles
