  1. Keith Turner started following UK Sales
  2. I think this is god news, now the market will no longer be flooded with poor quality minifigs from magnets, instead they will be the good quality ones from sets. I for one am very pleased.
  3. I am interested in 100 of these shipped to the UK, thanks keith
  4. No photos, all part of my huge MISB collection Luckily I am fairly old (48) so do have a large disposable income to spend on lego, to make up for the fact that as a kid I never had any lego. I did have lego when my kids were yooung, but came out of my dark ages 2 years agao when i got there stuff out for my grand daughter, I must confess since being back into lego my disposable income is a lot less :-)
  5. You had to sign a non disclosure agreement before the tour started, so I cant tell you much more than the itinary they have on their web site. However, being a lego nut, I thought it was worth the cost, and it was a once in a life time experience. The main plus side is you get an exclusive set designed just for the people on the tour, nothing special apart from its is limited to 32 sets (you had to agree not to sell it as well). The highlughts of the tour were. 1 - meeting the designers and seeing how the whole design phase develops from an idea to a range of sets, they discussed the atlantis theme, which was 2 years from the idea to the first set hitting the shelves (they were already working on 2012 sets when we were there, but we were only allowed to see the rest of the 2010 sets. 2 - having a tour of their factory, which was very impressive. 3 - meeting the boss and ceo 4 - seeing the archive vaults (you were not allowed to touch) The bits I was not bothered about was the tour behind the scenes of the lego park in billund, although meeting the designers who build the models was interesting.
  6. i went on the tour, you were allowed 40 elements, in total, but you could select from any part, i ordered all the parts to make the new general grevious and some of the minfig accessories from series 2, and some head and helmets I did not recognise (they were prototypes)however, they are not shipping them until the end of september as some were not in production yet.
  7. I went this year (May 2010), it was a great trip, although it was very expensive. The designers were very helpful and interesting to talk to and the tour of the factory was very interesting and made you realise why lego is so expensive.
  8. I saw this on the site and mentioned it to the sales dept, it was then removed, I assume we will be getting it in August
  9. Go onto www.bricklink.com, go into catalogue and minifigs and star wars and they are all listed
  10. Its £30 in the UK, which is unfair seeing its $30 in the US and the exchange rate is £1 to $1.60
  11. Whats wrong with www.bricklink.com
  12. Signed, wish lego would spend less time on licenced ranges and more on claqssics like pirates
  13. I spoke to customer services and complained about the colours of the dwarfs in the battle packs and they said that all minifgs comply with the same quality control and no one has told them of a problem. Well I have now and was offered a full refund, but I was asked to tell you all to contact lego direct and put in a complaint so that they can look into the problem. If enough people complain then they should do something about it.

    This cost £69.99 it TRU, so I assume £68.50 from www.lego.com This cost me £69.99 in TRU, so assume lego price is £68.50

    The problem is the design of the trucks, because of the way the front is put on the windscreen is only held in place by the back 2 studs which would be where the doors would be, so it would be very fragile. I will try and put some more pictures up tonight. The other trucks can have the doors because the design of the front of the truck (not flat) means the windscreen is held in place by the 6 studs along the front of the windscreen. I was disapointed they did not have doors. I am reserving my judgement on the set until I have finished it.
