The knights' orange/red and blue colour scheme is similar to the one used in Ice Planet 2002, except Ice Planet used white instead of light grey and black.
Whoops, just started a Myer Lego 20% off thread without realizing it's been mentioned here... :o
Anyway, picked up the Detective's Office with the 20% off. :)
Not an acquisition.... But a completion!!
Phone,line is hooked up... They are ready to go... So, who you gonna call!!!!???
Wait a minute..... 3 peices missing!! GOD DAMNIT!!!
And as it's happened before that sometimes they give a response about weights machines, and the process to ensure all is correct.... I was missing 3 2 x 16 flat greys.... And had an extra 6 x 16 flat grey. So weight would have been close...
At least Lego is damn good at sorting it out. Filling out 1 form usually gets you the parts no questions asked.Quote:

Not finding it until the end does make you panic.Quote:

I don't have it in hand, but I just scored a 2008 Clone Walker and Assassin Droid Battle Pack for $35 including shipping! Given the Clone Walker set goes for $35-$50 these days alone, that is an awesome deal!
Picked up a Lego 2016 Mighty Micros and Civil War Sets - 76049 Avenjet Space Mission. A really cool set and comes with a comic book as well scored one for $50. :) I also picked up a Jokerland as well for $100 so all in all it was a great day.
Picked up a cheap Lego Star Wars AT-DP up from Target for $55! :eek:
Also got a relatively cheap Lego Star Wars Special Forces First Order TIE Fighter from Big W for $85.
In-store or online?Quote:

I better wind back the Lego collecting :o
I couldn't contain myself with that sitting around. Regardless what is happening in life. I would skip a nights sleep to have some fun time to myself :D:D I think the longest I've gone is about 24 hours without being able to rip into something next to me :DQuote:

Kinda an acquisition to be once I get around to building Optimus :)

Ordered the Ghostbusters Firehouse. Won't get it until December (birthday present) but I cashed in my points to bring it down to $470 and then the double points will take another $52.50 off the 60s Batcave when I order that.
Nice! Was gonna order it the other day but chickened out and bought some Jurassic World Lego instead. I currently have $60 worth of VIPs and that will go towards Batcave or GB Firehouse some day.Quote:

@BigW for $20.
Picked up a Force Awakens Tie Fighter yesterday. Had a heap of fun building it and loved how the wings come together.
I buy all these books/DVDs with the minifigs in them and this is a rare occasion where I actually prefer the book over the minifig. I dont get 'Pirate Batman':confused:Quote:

This isn't exactly an acquisition (but I don't wanna start a new thread for this) so here's something I've been working on for a while now...

^Spooky
:)
^^^Thats awesome!:)
Thanks Guys! There's about 15-20 Bricklink hauls that have gone into that... :o
My next MOC will be a castle - but that might be a while off (I'm waiting on 5 Bricklink orders to arrive & that castle is gonna need a hell of a lot of bricks...)
Ooh, I like castles! Looking forward to seeing it one day:) I keep meaning to build my own Lego castle one day. I have no creativity atm and kinda losing interest in Lego as a hobby. Currently experiencing a 'Dark Age' if you like.Quote:

'Dark Ages' Lol! I'm still wrapping my head around all the lingo regarding AFOL Lol! When I think of the 'dark age' of Lego, I think of the time that Lego nearly went broke - not us guys losing inspiration to build things
After I build my castle (it could take me a while but I'll eventually finish it), next in line will be a Wild West scene (something based on Clint Eastwood's Westerns) followed by something based on Classic Space - I've been a massive Classic Space fan from way back when! :D
yep this just aint right, almost everywhere i see books with figs has at least one missing the figs. may it be from Costco or Big W :mad:Quote:

They do seem pretty armless though... :rolleyes: ;) :o
