My awesome wife bought me jabba's palace ( k-mart clearance 129$) and hobbit bag end( target sale 99$) yesterday. very cool stuff. and she grabbed me the gandalf horse and cart lego last week also. really like jabba's palace.
So jealous of the palace. Hopefully it doesn't retire anytime soon because I want it SOOO bad, but the price is a shocker. Is it still on sale?:cool::DQuote:

So I made Craggers Ship (70006) today. It took me under one and a half hours, with lots of breaks, watching the cricket and taking my sweet time. For a box and set this large it should have taken far longer, something maybe closer to double that.
If you are not a fan of large pre constructed pieces, this is not a set for you. The main boat is (as I expected) one large pre finished piece. The two smaller croc boats are also premade. There are alot of larger pieces in the set, that while they look great, diminish the build enjoyment massively. On the flip side there are plenty of cool pieces in new colours, and the set is the nice olive green, rather than the brighter green it looks on the box.
As a build, this set is a fail, as a display piece it is okay (but the smaller bird sets are superior), but as a toy (especially for kids) this is FREAKING AWESOME!!! it has everything you need, good and bad characters, lots of different and awesome looking weapons, heaps of vehicles with plenty of play value. There is a jail part to capture the lions, flick missiles that flick okay and lots of story potential.
Minor annoyances:
- No storage for weapons when the characters are driving the vehicles.
- female Croc gets no weapon! (used a spare spear and red translucent axe head)
- gunship weapons are too low and will fire into the back of the pilot. Another full block raise will alleviate, I have to find suitable colours first.
- front pod (where the red windscreens are) is weakly held on to the boat frame.
Make no mistake that this is a brilliant set for kids, but loses lots of points as a display or build piece. However the crapload of teeth/claws will fall off often, even in careful play, and some parts are barely held on, so expect lots of rebuilds if the kids are a bit rougher on it. Certainly worth around $100, but not more, just does not have the finished feel of the Bird sets. Compared to owning 5/6 of the wheel sets, it is a bargain!
Cool, I've had some interest in the Chima Lego. Got my eye on the lion tank :-)
I got a feeling this Chima stuff is going to shelf warm.
Agreed. There is stacks of it. Target in the Melb CBD had pretty much a full wall of it. I think had it been released before xmass it would have been a different story though.Quote:

Despite the $40 price tag picked up the tmnt stealth shell in pursuit as retail therapy.
Got my Modular Palace Cinema today. Will be buildling it this long weekend!
Where did you pick that up from?Quote:

I figured as much.Quote:

I picked up the 3 smaller TMNT sets, so I am still missing Leo. I was tempted to buy one of the bigger ones so I ended up with all 4 turtles but I am not a fan of the 2 bigger sets. I might just got one off BrickLink (or here if anyone ends up with a spare).
got these little fellows today..

Edit ; And bought the Rancor pit a few days ago.......:D
I've been good and not buying the Ferrari Lego from Shell service stations, but then caved and spent $50 on the T-Rex helix range lifter set on sale from big w. it was meant to be $60 on sale but I'm not complaining.
It's not the most detailed set and it was quick build, but it is ginormous. He box does not give an indication of just how big it will end up being. It is about the same length as the Chima croc boat,but heavier and less fragile.
An awesome set for the sale price, the Trex goes for anywhere between $30 and $40 on Lego sale sites, so to spend a little more and get a giant copter as well is worth it to me!
Stalked the postie and got my Palace Cinema which i was silly enough to NOT send to work.... now to hide it from wifey :-D
So far I have all the modern Modulars, but still hiding them :-(
Where did you order it from?Quote:

Saw them relatively cheap at Woolworth so impulse bought the Chima dune buggy vehicle that comes with a Lion'o guy and small Ninja Crow plane thing with that guy that looks like Badbird from Samurai Pizza Cats.
My package finally arrived so I can display my Ferrari lego racers on their display stand.
Apologies for the crappy flash photography :p

Picked up the Horizon Express and the Constitution Train Chase sets from Myer today.
With the sale and MyerOne voucher I paid $209.
Pretty much $105 each. Win!
I couldn't control myself at Myers either.
Picked up the Sopwith Camel & the 4x4 Crawler.
