I've seen most of the other displays before already (not that they're bad!), so I was also most impressed by Paul's Music Land. Scott's blue cottage was also very nice!

Yah I do too, although they're not in the condition I would like them to be in... Why do kids have to be so rough with their toys?!

It's the Cobra HISS tank!!

didn't LEGO® say that they will keep old grey for the tracks? (somewhat off topic) They did say that they'd keep old grey for the tracks, BUT new dark grey tracks do exist! I think it's in 10132 Motorized Hogwarts Express, cuz that's the only 2004+ train set that comes with tracks. I sure hope that...

Kevin, does it have the new colours?

...and the last day of the display was on Saturday, August 28th...

Wow very cool! The space police ship looks very Japanese anime-ish.

anyone wanna build a space police building for my ship to land on ? :rotflol:

Let me think about it...

I get it, something like this:



Chopped in six, minus the stud part. Might be hard to yank one of those pieces off if there's a brick right next to it though...

-Bryan

Yeah, I skimmed through most of that thread. Lots of positive things for the future I guess.

But I can't figure out what that new part looks like... Something similar to this, perhaps?

I had a chance to go to Bellevue this Sunday. The only thing I was interested in was the Pick a Brick, and they did have a few pieces in the old greys. Most notably: 1x4x2 lt grey fence 2x2 dk grey brick 2x4 lt grey brick 2x8? lt grey brick 1x10? or 1x12? light grey technic brick They even had 1x4 d...

It's funnier if you compare the two comics side by side! :rotflol: Yeah at first, people weren't quite pleased with your parody. But that's always the case: you'll get your supporters, and you'll get your pissy ones as well. I haven't read the final version of the AFOL comic so I didn't know they to...

Coincidentally, my sister also went down to the US for the day on Saturday, but I didn't know how far south she'd go. I was eating dinner that night when she called me and said "I'm at the LEGO store and they have a whole wall of bulk bricks - do you want anything?!" :wow: Of course I wanted stuff, ...

That's good and bad.

Good, because we'll have a (somewhat) easily accessible LEGO store.

Bad, because I need to save my money for other stuff!

Shoot - I was just looking at that and I didn't realize it was Nathan's!

V. cool.

Wow cool stuff in the gallery! I bet this is Tim's favourite (the fire boat):

I like his use of the dinosaur tail (or whatever you call that piece) as part of the street light!

The only word that caught my attention was loyal cuz it was in a suspicious spot... But nice one!

My heart REALLY skipped a beat when I first saw that this morning. THEN I realized today's date... http://www.forwardhost.ca/~gumby/images/lj_pics/smilies/shaking_mad.gif But if it was true, after buying all of those light gray brick packs, I think my gf would have my head if I splurged another coup...

I haven't gotten my mania mag yet, but after your comments, I don't want it anymore. Although it causes me to not want to spend money on new stuff, it also forces me to get my "supplies" on the secondary market. Too bad for TLC. :shake:

Haha pretty funny!

Let me guess - from L-R the characters are:
Rob, Kevin, Dean, and Robin (only because he has a castle-fig torso).

So did Alex's minifig ever turn up?

The sets are okay... I'm not impressed by the new castle sets, and I'm still miffed about the colour change. I'll be buying very little (if any) of the new stuff...

i haven't had a chance to dig thorugh it to see what in there . but that trailer seems like the one from http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5590 Ho ho ho that IS the trailer from 5590! You scored a better deal than me on that set then! I took advantage of the 25% off at TRU and got 2 x 4101 Wild Collectio...

(course, I haven't actually seen the new stuff yet ...) I saw a few of the new creator sets on shelves, and even on the pictures on the box, I can see that the new light grey looks like something between white and old light grey. And the brown looks different. The general public probably won't catc...

They're a bit too goofy / colourful for me. I won't be buying very many of these... I'll just stick to the S@H exclusives instead (which I already have multiple copies of).

I recently got a 5590 Whirl N' Wheel Super Truck in excellent condition, complete with a box for US$60 on eBay!
