home for christmas, lego down from the attic, putting it together using instruction booklet scans from peeron. mostly 1972 vintage sets where all the cars look like volvos:

lol i have virtually the exact same car model built at the moment, slightly different colours

Ha. I picked up a couple of the minifigs for Xmas, and turns out my mom found most of a battledroid tank set at a garage sale for $5 for me this summer.

surprised to see series 4 in the supermarket this morning. and they are actually better than the last set
gnome, geisha, bucaneer, punk, frankenstein monster, ice hockey player, viking, footballer, artist, jane torvill!, mad scientist and, rather presciently, a worried looking bloke in a radiation suit.
― koogs, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 09:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Hup, I'd better get on and find the last few from #3 that we want then.
(We have way too many of these for a couple of grown adults. Suggestions on displaying them? They just stand around and get knocked down the back of the desk every time we reach for the phone at the moment. Should probably just get a big-assed piece of flat lego and stick them all on.)

(i've been buying them and giving the ones i don't like (and some i do) and duplicates to friends' kids)
what are you missing from series 3?
― koogs, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Well, we're probably missing most of them, but the other half would quite like an alien, and I'd quite like a fisherman.
There are still plenty we don't have and (last seen) plenty left in the Toys R Us I go past every day, it's just we have an unfortunate tendency to end up with repeats of the zombie. Should look into those dot patterns I'm told you can "cheat" with. Or just buy a bunch, since I'm at least vaguely interested in most of the ones we don't have.
― dimension hatris (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:14 (thirteen years ago) link
the new ones, i noticed, have a number crimped into the bottom seal as well as the dots. 550B was the sailor...
i have both those btw, but only one of each. my bete noir was the crash test dummy.
― koogs, Tuesday, 29 March 2011 10:29 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah. skateboarder (looks like bob burnquist!) and the nuclear accident guy.

Tell me more about these dots and code numbers? We just got our third Ice Hockey player, I'm ready to start cheating.

Usually feeling them out will help. There's always one distinctive bit, even in those that lack it.
― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Friday, 13 May 2011 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
i can't correlate those bump codes with the two packets i have here. are they american ones? i know the american barcodes were different but that may've been due to them using a different barcode standard.
> We just got our third Ice Hockey player,
glass half empty thinking there. you've nearly got a whole team!

series 7 in the shops today.
female swimmer, inca?, rabbit, bride, Poseidon, scotsman, skydiver, future soldier, tennis, tarzan, hippy, computer spod, valkyrie, black knight, rock chick, female hobbit?
― koogs, Thursday, 5 April 2012 12:10 (twelve years ago) link
(noticed today, might've been there for a while)
Never got the Roman soldier from the last run. Got everything else so quickly I got bored of looking.
Waiting for the Monster Fighter sets
― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Thursday, 5 April 2012 12:21 (twelve years ago) link
i just seemed to get female astronauts and aliens in the last lot. and a minotaur with only one horn 8(
future soldier looks a lot like a reaction to the halo minifigs that you can also find places.
― koogs, Thursday, 5 April 2012 12:29 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, he's full-on space marine. Combine some of him with lady astronauts and you'll have a full platoon of mixed-gender squaddies.
You get one of those Halo minifig baggies? They're some chintzy-ass construction
― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Thursday, 5 April 2012 14:05 (twelve years ago) link
no. did pick up a couple of the playmobil packs for a friend's kids. they are same price despite containing about twice the plastic (and are split between male and female, ninjas in the one, princesses in the other) (ok, not that simple, the female ones contain vampires and lara croft etc)

I kind of think the opposite - it'd be a stick-on for a video game, and the actual lego falls back out of that.
