2 half filled boxes put together in one to tidy up & reduce space? One box I looked through today had around 4/5 kung fu guys in!

5 more Spartans & a surfer!

I was the same! My Fiancee told me to get it a while back & I had it in my hand, then it dawned on me that I could buy 2 of the regular trucks for the same price so put it back!! They must've realised they just weren't selling! Hopefully they'll reduce the price of 8404 Public Transport too as charging kids/parents £20 OVER Lego's own price for the set is nothing short of scandalous!

Buy another on Bricklink?

Isn't it always?

My fiancee picked me up 2 more Spartans & 1 more Singer

Doubt it! More likely to be the greedy German sellers on BL snapping them all up!! Take a look at the sheer volume the German sellers have of them to find out why nobody over there can find any!!

Livingston TRU didn't have any of the first series when they first came out either

Racers wheels fit 3177s a treat & although they're bigger diameter they don't look stupid. Take a look at the white one at the back: Rolls further on these wheels too

4 Hopolites 3 Mimes 2 Karate guys 1 Surfer 1 Lifeguard

It's probably likely that it's someone out to make a fast buck for doing nothing! Probably discount information already obtainable for free through here, Brickish or elsewhere! The same as the morons who charge people to buy the barcodes for minifigs when they're available online for free!

This only highlights the importance of... Buying one of these:

Let them go out & ride bikes & fall off! Climb trees & get grazed knees! There's far too much wrapping kids up in cotton wool these days! We climbed trees, ate dirt, ate food dropped on the ground, fell off skateboards etc & we're alright! (Well most of us anyway! )

Simple but effective, works really well

There's a Hamleys & TRU in Glasgow, they can open one there

Just emailed TLG: Will see what they have to say!

I know they're not trains but I'm looking forward to seeing Trevor, George & Elizabeth plus Fergus (Which is a tramway loco)

Why not set up a Paypal account? Not many people trust Western Union

TRU should be getting them on Tuesday, that's what I've been told anyway

Went to a carboot sale & picked up a built 5541 Blue Fury Hot Rod (No windscreen) & 4 Lego Police models for £3! Then went back to WH Smiths & picked up 1x Surfers, 3x Mime, Cop & Singer, now got a full set

Today I raided WHSmiths & got: 3 Surfers 3 Karate guys 2 Disco Stu's 2 Skiers 2 Weightlifters (Got an extra one by accident!) 2 Lifeguards 2 Mexicans 2 Vampires 1 Hopolite 1 Pharoh 1 Explorer 1 Ringmaster 1 Witch Messed up the barcodes & failed to get the Mimes, Singer or Policeman! Will have to go back for a second go to get those!

Check where the stickers are near the tills, that's where I found them in my store Ended up buying 23 figures today but cocked up on the barcodes & failed to get a single mime (I want 3), policeman or singer!

Picked up a load of figs today but failed to get any mimes, policeman or singer! Thing that annoys me about the minifigs is the fact that the surfer, the pharoh & the hopolite have front & side printing BUT TLG failed to add printing to the rear so the looks odd from the back

My Missus better be home from uni with the car soon!! I think a shopping trip might be in order!!

Why not ask him?
