OMG, all the Ice planet stuff, one of my favorite themes from my childhood.

The gray piece is probably this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4531

Thanks for another great raffle, got my package yesterday.

Made the first visit to the local Lego store since they put this in place. Only filled one large cup, but they didn't say anything about grabbing handfuls of bricks from the pick a model sections. Hopefully it stays that way, but if they're only going to switch it out every 3 months like it says on that one link, that seems to really limit the selection. Putting the cups on the wall also further limits the selection. They only had one model available for the pick a model at my store, not two, I suspect that will be the case for any of the smaller stores.

Went to the Cincinnati store last night, they had a few new things that I hadn't seen on the wall in my previous few visits. 1x2 medium blue plates 1x1 black headlight bricks 1x2 yellow bricks with smiley face and freckles black plant tree palm tops 1x2 black bricks with vertical clip 1x2 dark grey plate with arm up white minifig utensil seats 2x2

Thanks for doing the raffle, got one of the prizes I wanted too. Squeaked in on the last day.

Managed to find the 7965 Millenium Falcon at Target for $42. No price on the shelf, so I scanned it at one of the scanners at the end of the aisle and lucked out. I think maybe someone entered it into the system with the wrong price, but I'm not gonna complain, no missing minifigs or anything. Also picked up the ISD at the VIP event a week ago, so its been a week of SW building for me...

Would love to have a new DJ mixer for the holidays this year since mine went kaput recently.

Found the 7965 Millenium Falcon at Target for 41.98 today, it had no price marked on it so I used one of the scanners at the end of the aisle to see how much they were charging and was surprised it was marked so low(wasn't on a clearance rack or anything). Someone wasn't paying attention when they put that price in the system, lol. Win for me though :)

Just left the Cincinnati store, our goody bag was slightly different. Got the turkey set and wrapping paper plus a small train ornament that is in a little red bag. Double points, but no discounts there either. I got the skating rink set and calendar as well for spending over 100 bucks.

If anyone else is going to the Cincinnati event, let me know and say hi!

Welcome to the site! <-also in Ohio, in Cincy

Thanks, I'm not very familiar with bionicle stuff and was searching in completely different sections for them.

Anyone got an id on these two? They were part of a bulk lot and I'm not having luck finding them easily.

Great MOC, lots of excellent details. That would be this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3960px2

yeah, if you're further south into Kentucky I think the closest thing to a Lego store there is a Bricks & Minifgs store and they don't have pick a brick obviously since they're not official Lego shops.

Category A: #8 #7 #3 Category B: #3 #10 #6

Sorry, now that I take another look they are actually dark azure, the same as the galaxy squad blue squad sets. Still not a part I had seen on the wall before.

Went to the Cincinnati store today. Picked up mostly some plates and bricks for a project, but here's a few other things I snagged. They had just refreshed the wall. dark azure brick 1x2(corrected the color, they are the same blue as in the Galaxy squad sets) light gray brick 1x1 with handle trans-clear panel 1x2x2 magenta 1x2 slopes light gray locking hinge plates 1x2(both halves) Stuff I didn't grab that was interesting: white fence 1x8x2 2/13 trans light blue round brick 2x2 dark gray 2x2x2 box with open top

great builds so far. Looking forward to the rest.

Got out of work early today(slow week with the holiday on Friday) and stopped in to see what the new stuff was at the Cincy store. They had the new horses in brown, 7 x 4 x 6 stairs in brown, 2 x 4 medium azure plates, 1x1 medium blue bricks and trans light blue jewel rocks. They did have some boxes that they hadn't unpacked yet(likely due to the mini build)

Played around with the Flexers and Frosticons and made some Mixel-spaceships

Picked up a cup in Cincinnati today, here's what I picked up: 1x10 white bricks 1x2 reddish brown log bricks 1x1 black bricks with 4 studs on sides 2x2 dark bluish gray corner bricks 1x1 dark bluish gray bricks 1x2 yellow jumper plates

Yeah, that seems to be the case with my local store too in Cincinnati. Would be nice if the 'new' cubbies weren't the same thing for several months at a time though. It seems that since that change back in May, a lot of the parts are staying on the wall for a longer period of time than before those changes.

No worries, its my own fault. I'm heading up that way regardless, I usually go to Chicago a couple times a year to visit friends and go record shopping so I'll likely spend the Thursday and Friday in Chicago instead(already requested it off work) and then head up for the public stuff on the weekend. Will definitely say hello to any fellow eurobrick folks that I run across.
