Re: New modular bank (10251)

I recommend using your VIP in the States to buy this modular, if you have a enough. I used VIP points to buy the Detective's Office earlier this year at Alderwood Mall, and the points converted straight across to American. And you don't pay taxes on your points purchase. Thanks for the tip - will d...

Re: 70751 Temple of Airjitsu

This set looks really cool!

"Medieval Market Village for Ninjago" is an excellent comparison!

Alas this is probably one of those LEGO exclusive sets so it will never go on sale. :p

Re: Instruction manuals im looking for

Before I had kids, I could remember the set numbers for many sets in my favourite themes such as Castles, Pirates, Star Wars, etc.

But now that I am constantly sleep deprived, and with the proliferation of 5 digit set numbers, I can't remember anything... :oops:

Re: Pics of 2015 Sets

I don't think they look at Alt bricks as a competitor; they most likely view them as they do brickarms and brickforge. They kind of augment or fill in the gaps where Lego dare not or is reluctant to go. Well "competitor" wasn't the best term (hence the quotations)... Perhaps third party is better. ...

Re: Pics of 2015 Sets

I spoke to the guy at BrickCon who makes the parts and runs AltBricks.com. He told me Lego is coming out with these new leaf colors directly because of his stuff... They thought it was such a good idea they had to do it themselves. ;) That's a first - LEGO copying something from a "competitor"... :p

So... has anybody been able to purchase one of these? The demand for this set has been unreal! I had relatives in the states last weekend and they couldn't find any from the stores in WA and OR.

Re: VIP points?how do they work?

Make sure you don't redeem points on your purchase when they are offering 2x VIP points. Obvious to some, but not so obvious to others!
