I finally opened the first of my Speed Racer (8158) sets and was very impressed with them. Very sleek, well designed and fun. The stickers are easier than they look too.

Welcome Mel. May your Bricks be plentiful while your pockets be empty

Hey Mel don't blame me! I have yet to traverse back to the "Brickside", although I know it will only be a matter of time (15% Lego at Kmart, and I know they have Lego Batman-Batmobile...uh-oh. )

Has anyone seen the Mars Mission Ultra Drill Walker anywhere else aside from Myer? And is the Agents Volcano Base a TRU exclusive? Checked out my local TRU today and that wasn't on special although the Creator Convertible, a Coast Guard set (can't remember which one) and Mars Mission ETX Infiltrator are all on special.

I think the Ultra Drill Walker is exclusive to Myer as I haven't spotted it in any other places. Same deal with the Volcano Base which I reckon is a TRU exclusive.

Each of the majors appear to have received the new Lego stock (outside Lego Star Wars) except for Big W. So we shall wait and see what they get.

Picked up Volcano Base today Pics later. Although that pretty much ends my Lego wants for this year. Unless I decide to pick up some Technics.

Oh wow. I had almost completely forgotten about that line. I used to have the Robo Master set as a kid. It wasn't a very good set. Kept falling apart. Ending up gluing it together so it would hold. Very bad idea.

Anyway. I picked up Brutaka today from the Forest Hill toy kingdom. only $25, pretty good. Also hasn't been made since 2006 so I thought it was a nice find

Wow original Space Police and Blacktrons! I always thought the originals were way better than the remakes, thier colour schemes were so much better.
