Not that hard to believe is it? I managed to get 15 in 2 days from just 4 Argos stores & I maybe heading out again tomorrow to find some more! In total I've acquired 35 Spartans (1 opened for my collection & 34 waiting to go in a box)

5 more Spartans & another karate guy

Kingdoms Advent calendar (7952) 10x Spartans 1x Surfer 1x Mime 1x Lifeguard 1x Disco Stu 1x Clown

Need to know what sort of things happen during the "working interview"? Got mine tomorrow afternoon. Any staff discount? How much (%)? Cheers

No-one?

Does anyone on here actually work in a TRU store? (In particular anyone in the UK) Want to know what sort of thing happens during a second "working" interview when you're on the shop floor with customers

Deeplinking is not allowed especially with confidential items Search on Flickr if you want to see them

ENOUGH ALREADY!! If you want to bitch about elves & other creatures with pointy ears then message each other privately, the rest of us don't care & don't want to read petty arguments!

Seriously who cares if it's a "normal" elf or a Tolkein elf? It's TLGs interpretation of the subject which kids will recognise! There are more pressing issues in the world rather than what type of elf it's meant to be!

Won't happen I don't think. The forestman got a new moulded bow & that's the one they'll use for this one too

That Jwoww fig looks like Kat Slater from Eastenders!

That is fantastic!! I like it a LOT!! :thumbup:

My thoughts on series 3: HULA GIRL: Love the new skirt, hopefully made of cloth & hopefully we'll see these in a lot more female sets. All figs having trousers regardless of whether they're male or female is a bit of an odd one (either that or the strange slope piece as with the witch!) TLG have missed the boat though, this would've been the perfect opportunity for them to mould a new guitar/ukelele piece. INDIAN CHIEF: Like the headpiece & outfit. Rather than use the Spartan's spear, TLG could have moulded a new Native American Chief staff, this could've then be used in the future for any Western themed items should they revive the theme. SAMURAI: Like the armour, this will be S3's Spartan in that it will be the most popular with people building up armies. FLYING ACE: Love it Typical British flying ace, leather jacket, big moustache, biggles goggles, backpack & I REALLY hope that's a rigid scarf going back over his shoulder! That really would make this figure perfect! Tally ho pip pip! One of my favourites. FISHERMAN: New shorter fishing rod piece is excellent, the last one was a little bit too long. Love the oilskins the fig is wearing & love the blue cap. Also like the new beard piece. CYBORG: Just plain weird, looks like a parts bin mish mash! Won't be overly fussed if I don't get hold of this one! SNOWBOARDER: Love the new snowboard mould, would go well in an extreme sports MOC. Like the pink helmet ( ) too (So many jokes...) RACING CAR DRIVER: NOT Ferrari as this would have to be done under license, just another Octan racer. Nothing really new with this one, just a smug look on the figures face! Not even a trophy (May change with the final version), just a plain figure TBH. FLY GUY: Love this figure too, the cap & the vest top are pretty good, the face is funny & the ghetto blaster is great! Microphones will end up in the parts bin though ELF: Pretty cool fig. Who's going to be the first to build a Zelda MOC? Shield's pretty well decorated. SUMO: Never seen an anorexic Sumo wrestler before TLG could've made a new "fat" torso for this figure. Like the hairpiece. The trophy looks bronze in the picture, is this just the light or will it be a bronze one instead of gold? Would be cool if this fig had a bronze one & the racing car driver had a silver one, then we could have a full set ALIEN: Was expecting something similar to the Toy Story alien head or your stereotypical alien with pointy chin & big eyes. Not really a fan of this one & again is another that I wouldn't be too upset if I didn't get hold of one. Doubt I as a City/Classic Town builder would find a use for it so would just be purchased to complete the set. MUMMY: Like the green face but for an ancient Mummy, the bandages are a little too clean for my liking! Would've looked much better off white/cream/dirty grey. TENNIS PLAYER: Could've benefited from a skirt like the Hula girl, maybe this will be added to the final product. Like the tennis racket mould, pretty good mould & could also be used by a longhaired male wannabe rockstar as a guitar! Hope it comes with balls too, what good is a tennis player with no balls? BASEBALL PLAYER: Like it, nice top, nice cap & love the new baseball bat piece. Might have to get a few of these. MONKEY: Headpiece looks to be an odd shape, maybe the picture has been taken from an angle but it just looks odd. Wonder if the eyes are part of the head or if there's a black head underneath. Planet of the Apes MOCs will be plentiful come January I reckon. Conclusion: Some fantastic figures, some good-great figures, some average figures & some pretty strange/poor ones

My local team when I lived in Devon so support them. Used to go to every game home & away but now I've moved away don't get to watch them play

Post the pics If need be the mods will delete them if asked

8 more Spartans!

Wanted Cafe Corner, will pay £20 Seriously? You're asking for almost half of Public Transport (A relatively new & expensive set) for £16 when it retails at £79.99 (Or £99.99 if you shop at TRU )

Any chance you can do one of these: http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/catalog/product/view/sid/432345564227583206/

This is what we have in college: http://www.thinglab.co.uk/printing_product.php?URL_=product_rapid_zcorp_zprinter_650&SubCatID_=66 We have one of the "Lego" based models shown on the website in the classroom but the bricks are oversized. The printer makes 3D renders using powder/resin so isn't as strong as ABS. Thin printing makes items brittle. It is possible to manufacture small thin items but they won't have any strength in them. Not sure you can make ABS models with it, it's just resin/powder to give an idea of what a product will look like

It won't take days, it'll take a matter of minutes to produce a 2x4 Lego brick.

That is really simple yet so effective.

For £52000 for a 3D printer I don't think TLG have anything to worry about just yet! Don't think many members of the public can afford them & doubt they'd use it to make counterfeit Lego bricks. Although I could use the one at my college to make myself a load of baseplates & roadplates

Because the nearest Lego centre is the Discovery Centre in Manchester... over 200 miles away & buying from S@H will add £5.25 postage on top of an already huge price!

Public Transport is still stupidly overpriced though!!

As they're limited editions TLG won't be able to issue replacement parts
