March 24, 200915 yr I bought few days ago two sets. They are: Farm Tractor 7634, and new 8402 City car. The tractor is mine, but car belongs to my friend. So, don't ask for pictures of this red sporty thing ;) Was that a case of "sets falling out of a truck"? No matter how you got it, I'm envious....
March 24, 200915 yr Was that a case of "sets falling out of a truck"? No matter how you got it, I'm envious.... More like fell out of the back of the Czech factory (It's a Euro release - no piece counts.) Interesting that they're apparently in production so early.
March 24, 200915 yr More like fell out of the back of the Czech factory (It's a Euro release - no piece counts.)Interesting that they're apparently in production so early. Was that the place that had the issue of poor security? I wouldn't have thought that they would be in production so early either....
March 24, 200915 yr Was that the place that had the issue of poor security? I wouldn't have thought that they would be in production so early either.... Yes - it's also where the recent Emerald Night leak came from, reviewed on another European website, so obviously security hasn't improved that much. Maybe we'll get early releases of the new City line from S@H? I guess it's possible. Normally they tend to do a whole lot of simultaneous releases around June, so maybe they're just warehousing the sets until then.

I guess it's possible. Normally they tend to do a whole lot of simultaneous releases around June, so maybe they're just warehousing the sets until then. I never really thought about it, but maybe they produce the sets in advance, and have them stockpiled by the retailers so that in case of shipping delays, they're still ready for June/August (When sets generally get released). Any ideas?
March 24, 200915 yr x2 Soldiers Impulse x1 Pirate Survival x1 Chicken Seller $6 each at Toyworld [i actually got these weeks ago but forgot to post ] Love those new soldiers
March 24, 200915 yr 7163 Republic Gunship 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel another 7657 AT-ST another 7146 Tie Fighter Can't wait for these to arrive Edited March 24, 200915 yr by legoman

Any ideas? Close. They produce them in advance, stockpile them in their own distribution centres, and approx. a week or two in advance of the launch date, they start distributing the new sets to the retailers, who will immediatelly start selling them. [/off-topic] Uhm, I am yet to buy any LEGO today. But then again it's just noon.
March 24, 200915 yr I bought 2 sets I didn't need because I had "-40chf on toys" in a supermarket^^ here they are : the 8957 and the 8630
March 24, 200915 yr Where did you find that car? Those didnt come out yet! (or did they?) I found it on auction. The seller had two 7634 and three 8402. All of them was in MISB condition. So it's possible that those 8402 leaked from Kladno factory. I don't like look of that convertible, but my friend asked me to buy for him one of them ;)
March 25, 200915 yr My mom bought me Cheerios cereal with the LEGO Racers promotional cars today. I got the number 33 Cheerios racer! Now I only need one car... If you don't know what I'm talking about, click the link in my signature (the latest review one).
March 25, 200915 yr My recent purchases : 8015 : Assassin Droids Battle Pack 8018 : Armored Assault Tank (AAT) 8956 : Stone Chopper 8957 : Mine Mech 8958 : Granite Grinder 8960 : Thunder Driller Brilliant sets! Miners nice and compact. Only here DSS are hard enough glued...
March 26, 200915 yr Ah, two beautiful boxes sitting right here next to me: 7733 Truck & Forklift & 7993 Service Station I'm absolutely thrilled! I can still remember how badly I wanted the Service Station from the early 90s, but it was never sold here in Bulgaria... Hand on heart, I can now say - this one's so much better! The black bike puts the icing on the cake, especially considering my growing bikers' gang ;) As to the truck - I was wondering whether to get this or the Garbage Truck, but the forklift is just too good to miss out on. Besides, any gas station needs a truck (AND a trucker!) as a regular customer...
March 26, 200915 yr So Myer has "Buy 2 Toys get a 3rd FREE" [The cheapest being the 3rd] Untill the 29th Of March. So I got the Construction Front-End Loader, Clone BP[My second] & a Assasin Droid BP. All up it was $39.90 So yeah a pretty good day.
March 26, 200915 yr Well yesterday I bought the new Armored Assault Tank (AAT Star Wars). And tommorow I will be buying the Assassin droid battle pack and the Clone walker battle pack. And hopefully in about a week I will be buying the new 10195 AT-OT and Dropship.
March 26, 200915 yr I was fortunate enough to buy a stone chopper the other day. Its a nice little set and the best part is the minifig. I love the double sided heads.
March 26, 200915 yr I found a Sandcrawler on Ebay. Unfortunately I won't have time to buid it until quite a while... But I did have a look at the minifig and BEHOLD! there were no less than 6 jawas instead of just 3... And I have to say the new darker 3PO is quite nice... I didn't even know there was a new version (except for the chrome one and so but still...) there even was 3 more heads, too Really nice surprise. Now I just have to find time to build the thing...
March 26, 200915 yr It turns out that I bought 2 more Clone walker battle packs and 1 assassin droid battle packs in hope Id find a darth vader but nope. Dang it. Ill have to keep looking.
March 28, 200915 yr I bought some new ''Legoland-Allianz Arena'' pieces and a Star Wars magnet set! 'Bricks'
March 28, 200915 yr I got a second 7635 4WD with Horse Trailer, an 8401 Minifigure Collection, and an 8122 Desert Viper.
March 28, 200915 yr I just opened a Temple escape (indy) for peices. I got it a while ago 1/2 price, but only just opened it. Man, i really want more decent sales
