Just finished Fire Brigade, what a fun build! 1932 part was ingenious!
Two pieces were missing, already asked customer service to replace those.
While Town Hall was nowhere near as fun to put together as Fire Brigade, the numbering part was ten times better than on Fire Brigade.
Can't wait to experience it myself but my next modular purchase is Grand Emporium. Internally it looks quite empty but that's been discussed here before, if I remember correctly.
Grand Emporium is next for me as well. Town Hall was a rather boring build until the roof. The roof was fantastic to build.
For me, Fire Brigade's second floor is my favorite, so many details there.
Ugh the mini modulars is available again but $80 just seems too damn expensive for how small it is.
Just picked up my first series 7 minifigure. I want the Evil Knight so bad I can TASTE it. But I got the tennis player. He's actually pretty cool. I like his hair and his facial expression, with the headband. I'll be able to get some use out of those pieces. Gonna try to feel out the knight later.
Bummer, wound up with two tennis players from the series 7 packs I picked this morning. That makes two duplicates so far, bunny man & tennis guy.
So do we know for sure if all of the Avengers is coming out in minifigure bags? If they're not I'm thinking of going to pick up one of the sets tonight. I need a new build and I want the whole teams minifigures too.

Grimlock would legit kill Optimus Prime.Why isn't Optimus Prime helping?
Finished Sarigar photos. The thing has yet to fail to impress anyone who's seen it in real life, Lego fan or not.

Beautiful.
Kind of mundane when compared to it, but what does your pilot look like?

Was it necessary for you to quote the entire post?
Amazing. So what's the finalized costs to get that?
yes. you shouldn't be so rude though. it makes you look like a dick.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dick. Though my avatar does make me look like one.
The only problem with the model is where the wings connect to the body. If I could figure out how to make that connection sturdier, it'd be perfect. As it is, it has to be handled carefully, and you have to explain where to hold it to whoever you're giving it to.Beautiful.

Agreed. I wish they were still using that design for the Imperial pilots. I have one from the Imperial V-Wing set. Was that the last set that included it?That helmet is pretty sweet. You already went whole hog on the model so dropping that extra $4 plus shipping shouldn't be too bad. I have that fig and the underlying head is killer too.
Got all my sets of series 7 in the mail on friday, works out to be about AUD $42 per set include postage. I'm keeping 2 sets and selling off the rest.

Hah! Me, too.I believe so. I only picked up that set when it was on sale at Target for $15 because of that and the droid. The vehicle itself is shit.
Yeah, such a determined look on his face, and then the scarThat helmet is pretty sweet. You already went whole hog on the model so dropping that extra $4 plus shipping shouldn't be too bad. I have that fig and the underlying head is killer too.
Around $100, but I lucked out finding 90% of the parts from just one seller, so the shipping didn't kill me. Here's the post I made some time ago that has the list of all the parts you need to build it, and the XML file for automated BrickLink ordering.Milamber said:Amazing.

Speaking of Australia...
I've just noticed, looking at some sets online (Specifically the X-Wing) that Aus prices are ridiculous. The X-Wing is $60 USD or $120 - $130 to buy here. Do fellow Australians just import all their Lego?
Wetwired, is that Larry David? And being a fellow Australian, where are you buying your Series 7 minifigs from?
yeah that is larry david
I got them from this german bricklink store They will cost you a little more than what I paid though if you only buy one set. I bought several in one hit. I then I sell off the extras on ebay. In the end if all goes well I can sell 5 sets and pay anywhere from nothing to $30 (depending on what I sell them for) for 2 complete sets for myself (I give one set to my daughter)
Ha. Solid caricature. MILK AND CAWFEE!
And thanks for the tip!
On another note - and I know that this may be quite painful for a lot of you - how much money have you spent on Lego this year? I think I'm somewhere around the 700AUD mark, which is about 100AUD below a fortnightly paycheck for me (I'm 23 and I work 3 days a week).

I would guess customs tax are huge?
