I bought another River Chase for the parts. Lots of nice leaves and stuff.

Target had a sale on indy sets, so I got it for $3 off.

[VBBN]

Nothing today, but I have a $25 gift card and plan to use it on something indy. Jungle cutter or the truck chase set.

Indiana Jones River Chase. My first indy set!!

Also have 2 bricklink orders that I am anxiously waiting on. One has a Hagrid in it and the other has lots of trees. Also, lots of misc. parts in both orders. I'm working on a couple of mocs but I need my orders before they can be completed.

[Inertia]

More M:tron and Futuron sets...

More Minifigs!

[adik_sa_lego]

the second of my BL orders came in, now my old 8034 is complete (almost, i missed one hinge. doh!)

[fugglewyg]

7414 Elephant Caravan that i won on ebay arrived today

[simonwillems]

For 3,75 euro (including shippingcosts from the UK) I bought this policecar off Ebay MISB.

To be honest: I have seen more beautiful examples of policevehicles brought out by Lego, even some with actual policeofficer-minifigs in them....

Yeah, including some police cars from the very same time period, using similar parts. This set just doesn't cut it, ten years ago or today.

Been a long time since an update, and there is no point going item by item, so I'll pick the highlights.

Finished up the Indy line. Added some New Castle. Started Speed Racer. Some random parts orders off Bricklink. Been picking up lots of misc parts and minifigs off eBay (including a dozen Fabuland figures in practically new condition).

But the best, easily, was a single purchase of mixed sets that included:

6270, 6258, 1970, 6009, and 6071

They were all complete except the first and last, which were missing their baseplates. I have a spare island plate for Forbidden Island, and I'll pick up the right one for Forestman's Crossing (a set I really really wanted).

All the minifigs are complete and mint, including the rare Forestwoman, plus there are another 3 or 4 small sets that I haven't identified yet and some spare odds and ends.

Total for all this? $20.

WHAT!?!?! This is such a great buy!!!

I am finding very hard for a good 6071. Forestmen are wonderful collection.

And you managed to find one with such an excellent buy. These are very good sets.

I am filled with envy, looking at those pics makes me go nuts now!!!!

[Dragonator]

I just made an impulse buy of 10 bronze Greek armour sets from BrickForge, as well as a few other weapons etc. I also got a couple of black and brown cows a few days ago.

[Wout]

on vacation, In Vaals 2 sw bps for 10 euro each, and the little green creator set for 3,60

In Aachen by the Teddy and co (Ursulinestrasse, very big toy shop) the 7624 Indiana jungle duel and 93 spare pieces from a pick-a-brick wall.

[Dragonator]

I just made another Bricklink order for 100 ants, among other things, from Precious Princess Palace. Good prices on parts etc, and shipping isn't to bad this time either.

I wonder what I might be planning?

[Quarryman]

So, today there's a "50% off on all LEGO" sale in one of the largest toy store chains here (BR), which means prices that in general match US regular prices

After raiding the three BRs in downtown Trondheim I got away with:

3 626

4 628

1 4996

1 5584

3 5610

2 5611

2 5612

2 5613

2 5614

8 5615

1 5616

1 7009

1 7029

1 7036

1 7037

1 7041

3 7090

3 7583

1 7733

1 7890

1 8159

For a grand total of 43 sets, of which 20 are Impulse sets.

.. I'm not sure I really want to know how much it cost in total

Update: so, after getting online after that raid we received new orders from Supreme Command (that is, aj-ml, I was raiding with her husband ) so we visited the other three BRs in town.

Which led to:

2 4837

1 7048

1 7992

Also, we have emptied all of the BRs for LBG 48x48 baseplates and 32x32 green baseplates. What a day

Well, while on holiday this week I bought the two smallest Speed Racer sets, the Cement Mixer, Fire Engine and 4996 Creator Beach House. £59 total (there was a toy shop with shelves of cool LEGO within walking distance of where I stayed ).

Well, yesterday I got Bionicle Mutran and Vican. Totally average Bionicle build, but has some good parts and is cheaper than getting a canister set and matoran separately.

And then today, I got Exo-force Chameleon Hunter with the money I earned from mowing. Really nice exo-force set, and a fine example of how good the final year of Exo-force is.
