About $60 shipped, which at my rate of $10 a week, I should easily be able to afford all 4 by late March/early April. So why not keep going? I worked out by the start of May, I'll essentially have $113 AUD. So, I added Rattrap to my cart. Works out to $95.24USD, which I can afford at the current state of the dollar, which is 90 cents. So, I've just found out the wonders of the BBTS POL. :) Now I only need the dollar to stay on or above 90 cents.

You can build it for up to 6 months before they ask you to ship it. the hardest part is waiting for the stuff you want and not shipping too early :) if you have a lot of small items in it the shipping will work out very good.

Indeed. Many times I have reached a point where the shipping on smallish items actually becomes free :)

I'm still coming to grips with this.

Mrs. Mackness and I have known for the last few months that she is pregnant and we've thought at everything has been okay. Today we had our 20 week scan and I got to see our 100% healthy baby for the first time. Unbelievable! We got to hear it's heartbeat as well - just incredible! Nothing had prepared me for that moment when I realised, I'm gonna be a Dad! :D

I'm seeing the dollar staying strong - above US90c at the moment I think - hope it stays strong for the release of the next lot of movie toys and/or MP Bee, Wheeljack and Magnus!

Hey thanks! There's a long story to most of it but I won't bore you with it here, as I'm not sure it's interesting to anyone but me.:)
