Not so rare there... is that Billund, Denmark?
And in the supermarket as well
The set is apparently only available in the actual town of Billund, to appease the local retailers affected by the building of the lego house

Yeah, someone took it in the local supermarket. Really rare round the world, but loads in Billund.

I just found it funny after you said it was rare that there were loads stacked on the end of the isle next to the Vanish, lol. In reality, worldwide, they are rare of course.

I found this on ebay last night -

A good way to jump start a High Street collection. The street detailing and custom builds are really well done.

The prices on bricklink vary from about 2400-8000 for an unopened set, so it's probably about right.

Lego Minecraft anyone??

As an aside on this, my daughter (7) would spend hours watching people playing Minecraft on Youtube if I'd let her. I don't get it myself, but she adores it

I can see what she'll want for Xmas......

My 9 year old does spend hours on YouTube watching Minecraft. He loves it. I don't understand it but that's kids isn't it?

This looks epic for him - any idea of the cost & when it will be on sale in the UK?

My local Lego shop had shelves full of the Batman Tumbler, plus a display model in the window. I went home and read news on a Lego forum that they are trying to increase demand for it and it is being removed from Lego shops. Went back to the shop two days later and sure enough the display model was gone and the shelves were empty. fking sly tactics.

In other news I bought 10232 Palace Cinema smile

Build mine at the weekend, fun little build and a nice use of parts.





(Mostly bought it for the green retro space men, even if the finshelmets are all wrong)
