Lego: C/D, S&D

Free lego in The Sun again every day this week (starting today, but I only just found out about it, bah).

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/free-lego-toys-offer-is-back-2011-10-06

lego shop on thursday had the new volkswagen camper van (10220), which looks nice. and the enormo super star destroyer (10221) in the window.

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?

(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

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.

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

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)

finally got some today, incl a Roman Soldier(thus completing my Series 6)

LEGO The Lone Ranger 79106 – Cavalry Builder Set
LEGO The Lone Ranger 79107 – Comanche Camp
LEGO The Lone Ranger 79108 – Stagecoach Escape
LEGO The Lone Ranger 79109 – Colby City Showdown
LEGO The Lone Ranger 79110 – Silver Mine Shootout
LEGO The Lone Ranger 79111 – Constitution Train Chase

Yeah that's pretty surreal, can't honestly imagine anyone giving a shit.

This though: http://m.io9.com/5966902/serenity-lego-set-is-now-a-reality

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.

series 10 of the minifigs are out btw.

is this the thread where we anticipate the lego movie y/n

Sure, why not.

I like the deliberate stop-motion look to the animation.

Free mini kits in the fucking Daily Mail every day this week starting today. If you can bring yourself to do that.

That actually doesn't look too bad. I'm surprised.

lego ent!

Demo for the new Lego Marvel Superheroes game is out.

Culture Show: Lego - The Building Block of Architecture

The Lego Movie (released 14 February) is the latest big-budget incarnation of one of the world's most popular toys. Yet Lego is more than a global brand. Tom Dyckhoff explores its fascinating relationship with architecture, and argues that it has changed the way we think about buildings.

(tonight at 22:00 bbc2)

They're coming out with an Arctic line. Now you too can re-enact John Carpenter's The Thing only with minifigs.

Lego huskies and polar bear look cool, tho.

That prog was ok, apart from Alain de whatever talking about how most toys are about destruction. No they are not.

Anyone watching the awful looking movie?

most toys are about abstraction

Anyone watching the awful looking movie?

actually, yeah, and we quite enjoyed it

THE LEGO MOVIE

They upped the price on minifigs; now $4 per, for this series at least.

the lego movie minifigs were £2.50, up from £2 (olympics were £2.50 also). i didn't bother with either. might pick up these though.

We never got the Olympics ones over here. The movie figs stayed the same price.

actually, thinking about it, they were Team GB minifigs.
