Lego Acquisitions

What's the dragon? I ashamedly have no idea what you guys are talking about even though I'm the biggest beggar that occupies Lego aisles these days w/ my stylish busking hat and trusty ol' harmonica.

I.. I.. I.. have moved into the dark side.... I bought my first big pack of Lego set - Agents Mission 6. I am now staring at it and it's staring back! What have I done......

Mel if you are after the Stegosaurus, both Targets near me had about 4 of him, he was about $55, and very heavy in comparison to similar sized sets.

Still no luck on the Batman Tumbler set, and had to resist urge to buy the Agent set with the giant sharks (and laser beams on their head! methinks the designer may have liked the Austin Powers Movies).

No, not the dark side, the light side!

In my view the large sets are almost always worth getting compared with the smaller sets. For example, Agents Mission 6 cost around 100 dollars due to the Target sale. But if you got two Agents sets that added up to 100 dollars or so in value, they are not as weighty as the single Mission 6 set. It seems this is the case with Mars Mission sets too, except some large Mars Mission sets also feel a bit "empty".

Some times the Lego boxes are like guys with big cars: they are compensating for something small

I've been busy with Lego lately:



All of the sets from eBay for way less than retail price so I'm pretty stoked! Only a few more to go!

I have to admit though that the thing w/ Lego I find is that it really amasses if u do not open them up and start buiilding. Those air-filled boxes take up massive amounts of space. I probably should stop buying and find time to build a more otherwise I'll be sleeping under boxes of Legos at this rate!

Nice haul STL. The little white mech with Gate Assault is one of my favorites. It was the first to have the hands with fingers out of all the exo's. the little "fly" mech with set 8117 is amazing as well.

You should get building!!! I can't possibly leave sets in boxes if its within my vicinity. If you still can't find the time to make them. Just get the bags out of the box and bag them separately and store/throw the boxes away. Have fun though. Exo-force were fun to build. That Orange Tank is fantastic.

My recent acquisitions (thanks to the sales):

- Creator, Ferry, Steggo, White Convertible
- Agents Mission 1-7 (will get mission 8 at TRU this Thursday, was hinted at a possible sale so I shall wait)
- Mars Mission: Hypersonic Craft, Ultra Drill and Crystal Reaper (already pictured previously)

Will post pics of the Agents once I get my hands on Mission 8.

Thanks to "encouragement" from guys like Stompy, STL and i_am_trunks, Mel HAS gone to the "BRICK SIDE"... And boy I'm still in a daze why the itchy finger picked up my first Lego set (since childhood) from the last day of the Target sale.

But you see, the BF sort of snatched it away from me instead:


But the end result, done by the both of us was this:


And I also took the Stego Creator set $55.62 from Kmart sale to put on layby with my TFs. This is the beginning of the end...
