Thanks for the link. I know almost nothing about Minecraft but I enjoyed the video. I liked how for a brief second it says "L E G O S" then they quickly erase the 'S'.michael wrote:Also, this video is worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcwWN6jcdu8

Re: New 2012 modular builind Town Hall 10224 pics released
My initial reaction is similar, like the building not crazy about the color. IMO the modular buildings rank (roughly): Green Grocer Cafe Corner Pet Shop Fire Brigade Grand Emporium (Market Street, if you want to include it) [How would everyone else rank them?] One of the strikes against the Grand Em...

Re: Splash Toy shop fall 25% off sale
Not sure about Kaboodles, but Toybox is on this week as well (Same time as the Splash one), but Toybox prices their stuff over MSRP so the deals aren't as good.chump wrote:The Toybox and Kaboodles usually do their sale during the Canadian Thanksgiving week. Haven't heard anything about it this year, though.

Splash Toy shop fall 25% off sale
Splash Toys (in Dunbar and Richmond) is having their 25% fall sale this week (start today, the 29th). 25% off everything in the store. Their lego is priced at MSRP so it's 25% off the price you'd see at lego.com.
I imagine stock is limited.

Splash Toy shop in Vancouver (Dunbar) is having their annual spring sale where the whole store is 25% off. This, of course, includes Lego.
