Got these in the last few days:
Lego Castle King's Castle Seige

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...sitions141.jpg
Lego Club Magazine and 2009 Catalogue
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...sitions142.jpg
Nothing really special for the first half of 2009 - seems like Power Miners is the big theme for 2009 with a whole 7 pages devoted to the line in the catalogue. New Pirates, Castle, Agents and Space sets are noticably absent so I'm guessing they wont be due down under until the 2nd half of 2009. :(

Awesome find Fungal. I'll assume you got it outside of retail? Hard to find that set.
And Digger. I thought that set was a bit overpriced for what you really get. I know there's a lot of peices for the base/stand but they always charge like 25% more for the Star Wars license.
From the past couple of years it appears taht Lego waves come in 3 distinct waves. Early on the year have a few sets from the last wave of the previous year mixed with a lot of new sets for the year. Then more new sets mid year, followed by a few more that overlaps to the following year.
I'm pretty sure Agents will see at least one more wave. Not sure they will have more after that to be honest. I was really surprised Exo-Force went for 3 years.
Got this as a Xmas pressie:

Set 10187. Pics when its done.
Saw him the other day in Kmart, but he really doesn't feel that heavy for such a big box/for such a large price. Any good, or was he a simple build?Quote:

Just a bit disappointed that we have to wait till the later part of the year to score new stuff, particularly Pirates and the new space line. And yeah, I scored the Castle set from Legoshop.com - cheapest I could find MISB with shipping and since I bought other sets from them as well, shipping wasn't too bad.Quote:

I was aware of new Agents sets listed. But I think the last wave of the line was so recent that it will be silly to release the new wave this early.
I haven't seen a single picture of new Agents sets or Space. I'm excited by what they are going to do with those two lines actually.
I wonder if there will be Castle sets this year? Or will the Pirate set be the "period" line for the year?
I know of at least 1Quote:

Blarg. I forgot about that beauty of a set. That's just gorgeous. Not to mention all those nice figs and little items. Not to mention that this one is not about war.
I dunno. That Wizard is ready to clonk that owl with his stick. the crazy Lego King could have made that chair from Lego minifig meat!!!! :p
I want the Lego Turkey/chicken from that set Phoenix...
Lots of technic.
No pics? lazy!Quote:

As told to the guys during the BBQ meet, Lego sent me my replacement part and a complimentary keychain:
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...o_keychain.jpg
It's really nice of them and they have such good service.
Anyway boys I have kinda halted on Lego for the time being as my Lego designated shelves are already full. Not that I really care since my TFs are overflowing my shelves anyway. :p But just that I like to display my Lego nicely with the figures in action and there's no more space for that. :rolleyes:
Also I guess I haven't really got any sets on my wants-list except the Castle Skeleton Carriage set. :)
The skeleton carriage is still available in Sydney TRUs and Myers for $29.99 if you wanted to trek up to Sydney to grab it. :p Otherwise I suppose I could get off my ass and make a trip for you, as long as you are willing to pay postage to have it shipped down.
Awww...I've had plenty of missing/wrong parts and I haven't gotten a keychain :(Quote:

Got it from an Australian seller via Bricklink for cheaper than the Legoshop shipped. This is an awesome set - goes great with the Kings Castle Seige set (seen in background). Nice to have some normal castle folk and peasants inhabiting the landscape and the buildings themselves are very well designed and have a modular design. Two thumbs up! :)
That's very nice Fungal, what's the total number of lego sets you have might I ask?
I got some spare parts yesterday to fix up some of my sets.
- two pnumatic cylinders, two thin liftarms, two connectors, a brick separator, a 1x1 tile and a small technic part
Very nice fungal! Sigh I wish theyd make such simple but cottagey like home sets for the City series. My town is seriously lacking in houses, its all services ( town hall, moviehouse, fire stn, hospital) Ive got 2 of those creator houses sets but it doesnt jive size wise when constructed also the creator sets make it so that its closed at the back, while all the other city sets are "open" at the back for play so theres a real discrepancy there. Still aiming to put on layby at least 3 of those yellow creator houses thoug. I need to make random Tall buildings to make it more city like. for now its just a well serviced "town" :p Wonder how those medieval houses would look like within the city? hmmmm;)
So jealous of you! :DQuote:

Got them a couple of days ago. Off Layby, and because I spent a certain amount I got that little boat free with them.
They are really really nice sets. The Cafe Corner has some great detailing, but its nothing compaired to the Green Grocer
The Cafe Corner is pretty much a facade. You have to decorate it yourself. The rooms are there, as a the stairs, but I'll have to fine time to play around with some furniture designs
The Green Grocer comes with some. You get a grandfather clock, a heater, fireplace, some flat parts for a rug and the back balcony has chairs, table, umbrella, hanging flowers and a bbq. The ground floor shop is completely decked out though. Couple of containers for carrots, croissants and bananas, as well as a big fridge with drinks.
The Hotel sign is entirely built. No stickers or printed parts. its done using white and transparent red bricks. really cool. And they have written "Cafe" into the footpath under the tables and chairs. Pain in the ass to build, and I didn't notice until I had finished it. very nice touch.
My only other gripe is that all the minifigs use the same generic smiley face <_<
Would have liked some variety, especially for the female minifigs. They did do a female smiley face with lipstick and curled eyelashes. I don't know why they didn't use them here...
I've been building them both in my spare time in between going out and working.
oh, and the bit about the entrance of the cafe, with the white skis. Best use ever
My Castle Market Village and Brickbeard's Bounty from Lego.com have arrived~! :D
Finally completed my Blacktron II sets with this arrival this morning:

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q...sitions152.jpg
Now I have every space set starting with Blacktron I through to Insectoids. Wondering if I should start on classic Pirates now that I'm done with classic Space.......
I miss getting huge baseplates with Lego.You have to buy them separately now.
Nice complete collection then Fungal!
Mmm green-grocer + Cafe Corner with a canal to allow for speedboats I see GP. ;)
WOW those sets are awesome that castle one is rad :)
Picked up the Clone Wars Clone Battle Pack. Not to back. $19 and you get a small little walker, 4 Clones with guns (one has 2 little pistols) and clone commando gear.
I like the walker. Nice feel to it. Just wish it has some controls and some more room for the pilot. But that can be fixed, it's Lego!
