What've you ordered? A container load?

A container load would cost a fortune. It's surprising how small a trade box of 60 is.

I only have 40 or so boxes coming in as their slowing down a bit. If available ill put a good price together for them on the Technic group buy.

You're all s btw.

In addition to the box of minfigs I ordered I picked up the Iron Man 3 speedboat in Tesco earlier and just ordered an X-Wing from John Lewis.

I'd forgotten how much I love this stuff

I've got the boat, Iron man and War machine with the glowing head man .

Got Captain America on his bike recently.

Gandalf from the daily mail from Saturday .

A White House in the collection as well.

I went out to Tesco again before and picked up the city police car with the level crossing thing, the little police helicopter and the petrol tanker

I can't help but think they've dumbed the sets down a bit though. For example, the instructions make a point of telling you not to mix all the pieces. Where's the fun in that?! Hopefully the X-Wing will be a bit more challenging.

The OH was sceptical at first but she loves the little police car so I'm thinking of buying her one of the modular city sets for her birthday.

, I have the Fire Station modular building.

She might like the mini modular buildings, small and cute.

Was thinking of something to keep her occupied for a while. Right now I'm trying my hardest not to order that UCS B Wing.

Been £118.99 in stores the last few days for the B Wing, worth a try if you have an official LEGO store nearby.

Unfortunately not, £170 on Lego website.

You have to go in a LEGO store not online.

I wondered if that's what you meant afterwards, what area do you live?

[Oakey]

I'm in Lancs, the nearest to me is Manchester or Liverpool, both of which are around 50miles away. Factor in fuel and I'd maybe save £30, but then I'd lose a days wage as I can't make it at the weekend!

Assuming either location actually has them in stock!

I could maybe be persuaded to pop into town, but the hot dog stand is mine.

Oh good lord, don't! I've already spent £200 today! honestly, I don't think £300+ in one week on Lego is going to go down well!

Although I am really tempted. You enabler. What next, a free wrap of crack?

How... how long is this sale on for?

No idea how long it will be on. People are buying them quite quickly, I'd give them a call to check first.

You like wolverine?

[Oakey]

Sure, who doesn't

How much do you think it'd cost to forward the B Wing on? Oh god, now look what you've done.

ETA: I'm going to bed to sleep on it

Sounds like they have stopped selling it in the US/Canada in the last month, so they are probably selling them until they are gone.

I may have an extra Wolverines Chopper with Wolverine, Deadpool and Magneto figures to collect from Argos. Probably fit in the box with the B Wing.

I would have thought delivery would be circa £10 for a courier no?

Nice try, editing after I've posted.

I'll let you know tomorrow, when do you plan to get your hot dog stand / stall thing?
