Have you guys tried BrickLink?

http://www.bricklink.com

You can buy just parts, minifigures, or sets, new, used, etc.

Kinda like eBay for LEGO, but I think the prices are more reasonable.

there seem to be a lot more parts and pieces than sets. Are our RRP prices a ripoff compared to international markets? Like TFs?

Ive just found the Lego Town plan in my local myer and put it on layby . sweeeet. I even got a free oversized TF bag coz it's worth more than $50. Unfortunately I can claim the bag only once ive completely paid the layby so I wont be getting my mitts on it just yet. . Anyways, Ive just rearranged my small lego town adding the stuff i've had stored for months in boxes now. there's still a few more and now with the sale a few lot more on layby ( coast guard and town plan)

just need to purchase more roadplates as well

I only wanted to build a town before so my TFs can play Godzilla in it but its become a full blown separate hobby now hehehe, need a lot of floor space for this one though

From what I can see, the Aust. prices for new / current LEGO sets are not bad.

However if you are after older stuff (e.g. Classic Space minifigs), then usually eBay charges much more than BrickLink.

If you are buying piece by piece I think BrickLink is cheaper too than going to LEGO.com, but you need to check around the various shops on BL.

Can I ask you Lego Guys something ,

You might remember that I too used to be a Star Wars Lego guy in previous life () & I had massive problems with finding room for it all (Once it's built, Lego seems to take up much more room than TFs do).

So I was wondering, Do you guys seem to have problems in finding room for it all? Especially the bigger sets, they are Massive!

I've had to clear shelves in my cupboard just to store my new renewed interest in Lego and even then, its more a storage solution than a display solution. The funny thing is, I have heaps of TFs in storage, in large drawers which I never felt the need to display but yet with my Legos, I just felt I had to display them in some capacity over my TF collection. Perhaps because I already have so many TFs on display, I just felt that I needed to break up the monotony of it all and show some variation. I'm wondering where the rest of my Legos are going to go once they arrive - I was thinking in a corner in my daughter's playroom but the missus has said no to that since I already have my own room:

Maybe I could move the missus into the garage and use our bedroom....

Thanks Guys

I knew it wasn't just me who had/has probs in this area...

Having seen Liege's City sets & how much space they take up, I know that once they start to multiply - there's no stopping them (or TF's either )

Yes I haven't quite figured out where to put the Falcon yet. It's difficult to display. The Star Destroyer is easy cos it's both tall and long, but the falcon is quite flat, and you want to be able to see all of it cos it's no symmetrical.
