Does IE not have the 'highlight read threads' feature? I can only find this thread thanks to Firefox and this spectacular feature

:on topic: I'm having great difficulty getting the Race Car Driver minifig :/ After going blind sifting through box loads of the things in Tesco/John Lewis I've come to the conclusion that the bump code on my identifier phone app is lying to me or they are mega rare

code:

.      .
  .  .

right or wrong?

Would it be too much to ask for the Marvel/DC sets to become minifigure series 6?

*sigh* ...I can dream

The lady in WHSmiths on the Isle of Wight gave me 3 randoms (bleh - snowboarder, cavewoman, lumberjack). Apparently they came in yesterday and most of the box had gone already. We got one of those vouchers too but we'll only spend it if they let us feel the packs!

We also bought one of the alien conquest sets at Tesco last week for ~�18, I now wake up with a tripod-riding alien staring at me. He's pretty cool tbh

Just to piss off all you s5 hunters - Tesco in Portsmouth [UK) had put them out early AND because they didn't scan through their tills yet, they used a s3 barcode instead which was reduced by 1/3.
We now have the entire set for ~�21 when it should be �32. Tesco did something right for a change!

OMG!

Yes, this astronaut built a LEGO model of the International Space Station - while inside said station... IN SPAAACE. I wonder if they took a photo of the model in front of a window...

I've GIS'd both these images but cannae find them - can you link me to their original page please, I want to share them with an astro-friend. Ta!

The UK, specifically WHSmiths shops.

We had an excellent touch-up of a floor-stack in Tescos yesterday - got 13 differnet ones then got annoyed with Xmas shoppers.

How do you mention those and not the AZTEC WARRIOR and the Black Knight and a Valkyrie and what appears to be Lego Jem. That is truly outrageous.

...oh and a stoned hippie. They seriously gave him a stoned face.

I purposely chose 2/3 of the gayest ones just for this reaction

I think the geek guy is adorable tbqh

Spent an hour in John Lewis (Southampton UK) squeezing every drat packet. Fastest we've ever collected a set and no duplicates!
There are some pretty drat awesome figs this time (though Zombie will be my favourite for a long time).

Oh and we found the dynamic duo funhouse escape a few days previous too. It's currently sitting next to our alien tripod battling the power suit Lex. God I love lego
