Apparently the One Ring was being mailed to the vampire in that haunted house. (Re-used envelope from Gandalf Arrives)

I guess he's been accepted to Hogwarts too, because that envelope is in at least a few Harry Potter sets also.

osici posted:The haunted house set has been announced! It's a Monster Fighters set and it looks awesome. As a Lego dabbler, what is likely the best scenario for getting this set on sale when it comes out (or relatively soon after)? I know TRU has sales on lego, but are they regular sales or just whenever they happen?

Your best bet might be grabbing it when they have some kind of promotion (free shipping, double points etc).

Beyond that I don't know if it would be included in sales or not (they do exclude some sets and lines from sales). Keep in mind that TRU tends to jack up the MRSP by about 10% for Lego as well.

I'm in love with Lego trains at the moment but I'm so conflicted on what I should buy next. I can get Maersk or Emerald Night for about the same price. Or I can be a good partner/boyfriend and import the Creator Fire Brigade from Amazon at a relatively good price compared to local (Australian) as a birthday gift in August. My partner has frequently dropped not so subtle hints that she wants the Fire Brigade. Last birthday I got her the Grand Emporium. She pretty much will take any Creator Modular she can get so I've set myself up for expensive birthday gifts each year...

I just applied to be a Retail Associate in a Lego Store. I want this job so badly I'm actually a little sick with nerves over the idea that I might not succeed. For one, I really need a job, and secondly I really love Lego, and it would be a dream come true to work around it every day. Wish me luck, I guess.

Good luck PriorMarcus that would be an awesome job. Now you've reminded me how crap it is in Australia we don't have any Lego stores. Well not in Victoria anyway. I'd love to go crazy with pick a brick cups

Ok I'm gonna jump on the Holy Crap That House! bandwagon because holy crap, that house! Way to go Lego, totally redeemed the monster hunter line (which was looking a little weak). My friend has been wanting to build an Adams Family home for ages, he's going to flip his poo poo. I love the boarded windows the best, but I wish the wood was printed and not a sticker. They've been using that plank in so many sets surely they could print it.

Also jumping on the Haunted House bandwagon, which appears to be filling up rather quickly. It really does look like an MOC, and the abundant use of sand green doesn't hurt, either. I hope this sets a precedent for original (non-licensed), adventure/fantasy themes getting huge sets that cater to AFOLs.

The last two castle lines each got a big AFOL style set, Medieval Market Village and Kingdoms Joust. They're both a good sight more complex and use more advanced building techniques than any of the mass-market sets in the line.

Ok. So my wife (who has a natural aversion to Lego) just got home. I asked her if she liked The Munsters growing up. When she said, "Yes". I showed her the picture of the house. Her eyes lit up and asked if we could build it together when it comes out. I just sat there speechless for a few seconds and said, "Uh...,sure". And, yes a roman era or mythology line would be awesome.

Wank posted:TRU currently has 25% off all non-sale stock if you take a coupon from their website. I think its for this entire long weekend only. I picked up every set except they didn't have the Orc forge (no big deal). They are now in storage for 5 years until my son is old enough to appreciate them. Is the coupon still up? I can't find it. VVV Thanks! Kind of regret getting Helm's Deep at only 10% off now, but a discount's a discount. Kazzah fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jun 10, 2012 |

My friend took photos at the Brick Show but they're all on facebook. I could ask him to upload them to imgur or something. Exhibits were quite good but many displays were either: a) big minifig scenes with poo poo loads of detail or b) simplistic large scale models made of lots of basic bricks like this:

For anyone holding out Weathertop just dropped to 25% off on Amazon ($45). request sorted Edit: Also for anyone who bought it yesterday at $50... as it's weekend it probably hasn't shipped so try ordering it again and then cancelling your original order or something!
