I didn't say that I bought any... (At $20 AUD it seemed a tad expensive... and big sales are coming to Australians in the next few weeks.)

I didn't say you can't, but I can't see a topic for each location working; it would push general sales to page two and I don't think there really is much to discuss in regard to sales. Once the information has been posted what can one say but stuff like "Great deal", "wow I'm going"... and I can't see the point having 20 topics filled up with that. But feel free to create a topic for the mid year sales. I'm looking forward to them too! Now that would make a great set...

For years many people laughed at the idea of a floating dump truck. "Why would someone want that? The power needed to lift any heavy machinery like that would make it impractical. Wheels are a far better solution." But everything changed when Talrtre 4 was discovered. It was a vast planet that was a virtual gold mine of everything; uranium, rare isotopes, jewels the size of heads, methane, gold... everything was there for the taking. But the problem was that less than 1% of the planet had a surface; the rest was a vast bogland of riches, a bogland that was highly destructive to metals and ceramics. At first people were happy with just sucking up from the side of the small islands on Talrtre 4, but it was soon found that the islands for some reason repelled most of the better resources; a better solution needed. One day a thrill seeker was testing out a new floater-bike and he strayed over the boglands by mistake. Instantly his floater shot up in the air, and he was never seen again. This tragic incident led to some research and it was found that the vapours from the boglands increased the efficiency of most floaters by 500%! Thus the concept of floating refineries was born. It was soon realised that a way for transporting the processed goods to the spaceports was needed, so reluctantly tenders were put out for a floating dump truck. In under a day most truck companies revealed that they had a design ready, but none wanted to discuss why they had one made already. Today Talrtre 4 is covered with thousands of floating dump trucks, colloquially known as Bogfloaters. (Not to be confused with floating bogs...) Boring notes from reality land I bought 7344 soon after my return to the light... but it didn't take long for me to start regretting it. It doesn't fit into towns at all, so it was shelved fast. Re-building it into a space-dump-truck occurred to me last week. Aside from the black beams at the bottom it only uses parts from the set.

These are on S@H and I have seen them at Toyworld (Australia) as well.

Australia: Toyworld have 8157 Ferrari F1 1:9 as well as the new parts packs. This is it.... If every country had it's own topic it would become a mess.

It's available. I've seen this in Toyworld. (Australia)

It's $100 AUD.... hmm. I'll probably pass.

That's it; blame Hinckley! I agree; most of my MOCs have a backstory. I like adding a story to a MOC... hence my Indy competition! Get me 8880 and I'll send it to you. Well it isn't that hard to make.... but here are some more pictures. (Sorry about the last picture; my camera is dying... ) Sure it could; the Bat Tank hasn't even got a main gun.

I use ice cream containers! Welcome to Eurobricks; don't worry, I signed up so I could vote on what female minifig was the most attractive...

Done, done... and welcome to Eurobricks juniormak!

No! You can't have my... Oh! Those buckets... They never came my way...

I didn't. This rule will be staying.

I love steam punk! But what's Indy doing on the back? If you made a story for it you could enter it in our Indy contest...

It's an odd board bug... if you Complete Edit your post and no one else has posted since the changed text is posted as well, rather than as a replacement.

Because it raises the stakes!

Ahhh bag building... that takes me back. I suspect that if I didn't do my bag building topic my EB life would have turned out very differently. For the negative nancies, I suggest you try it. I bought a set just so I could, and I found it fun. (Not fun enough to do it again though!) Thanks for the interesting review.

I really love that oxen... Thanks for posting Dragonator and thanks Armothe for explaining more.

Congrats 007! It's a much deserved win.

Well, I suppose if you want a general guideline, don't exceed what would be PG-13 / M content. But it all depends on the context.

....errrr normally yes, but you have got me concerned. PM me what you have in mind.

Well if you think of a solution please pass it on to me!

I've added the pics so people don't explode...

Now that is stunning; the prison, the garbage room, the turbo lasers, the super laser, hanger, the throne room, the swing over the pit room... I had many fantasies about this set, but they have been exceeded by the real product. I want this... but I doubt that I will be able to afford it. Ahh... could be anything from $600-$800 AUD...

EDIT: Now available for pre-order in the US, with a shipping date of September 16th: Shop@Home direct link svelte corps has found pictures of the new Death Star playset! Discuss here.

Now that is very smart! It would be a cool MOC even if it didn't transform.
