Yeah, weeks after I went mad at WH Smiths and the Entertainer, they've just started turning up in Tesco too :?

I didn't even have a barcode sheet on me, but may get a few more cheerleaders so I can do the pyramid :D Other than that i've had plenty of series 1 unless I have a brainwave for a specific MOC, so it's just waiting for series 2 now! Hope they drop straight into the supermarkets.

I've recently been having a bit of a Toy Story splurge, but only really for the minifigures and the few sets I really like ... so, I've bought :

7591 Construct A Zurg
7592 Construct A Buzz
7593 Buzz's Star Command Spaceship (just for the Zurg fig ... the rest is on http://shop.ebay.co.uk/bigospedros/m.html
7594 Woody's Roundup (again, just for some of the figs really ... might put the bricks on ebay too)
7595 Army Men On Patrol (just for the figs)
7598 Pizza Planet Truck Rescue (just cos it's cool ... oh, and I wanted a Rex fig)
3 x Toy Story Alien impulse set (courtesy of the Tesco Fruit Tokens deal)

Also bought these to get a Spaceman Magnet

852843 C3PO, Princess Leia, Admiral Ackbar magnets
852947 Kit Fitso, Bariss Offee, Captain Jag magnets
4993 Cool Convertible

Found a couple more Zombies in WHSmiths. Oh and finally, a White Boba Fett.

:D

If only I had any time to build anything! I've so many sets waiting to be built, including all of the January Star Wars sets!! :twisted:

Had a busy lego week this week. Picked up another Pirate Tank set, got the new turbo tank (not built it yet) and Plo koon's starfighter. A BL order of 8 Hoth rebels and 4 hoth officers and 4 CW clones. I also bought a white boba and the Comic Con Cube Dudes set.

Might give the wallet a rest this week. :D

I spent £31.01 on mine ... probs more than I really wanted to spend, but I thought I'd secure one, even if I can/do get another one later on for cheaper (as and when they come available in the UK, assuming they do).

don't think they will be availeble in uk i have heard from a source that works at the TLC that the white bf's will be given away at legoworld zwolle there are three possibilities for the give aways.

-woody's campfire think (probably not cause its always star wars)
-white boba fett (hope so)
-chrome stormtrooper

last years i think the promo was chrome vader so i think this time white bf or chrome stormtrooper

well, we didn't think the Chrome Vaders or Stormies would make it to the UK and they both did eventually, with a £30 spend at TRU, so I think there's still hope. According to FBTB, there are 20000 worldwide, 10000 for the US and 10000 for the rest of the world. Sweden had some already. So I don't think the UK will be too far behind.

In the US, they're being given away at various events, such as SDCC and Celebration V.

I guess we'll see ... the confusion on numbers and lack of info on distribution methods per country led me to pay what I did for this item. I guess it's more than half what I paid for the Chrome C3P0 !

I bought one for £75 and then got another one as part of a rather nice trade, so one is still MISB.

Well my Comic Con Cube Dudes arrived today. Now I am really struggling with should I open it or not! :ugeek:

Should I keep it MISB? Then maybe wait for someone to post the instructions and get the parts!
