Now up to nine missing pieces.

Very very unhappy. Snotty email fired off to Lego although I am not sure what good it will do.
They’ll send you replacements. There is a way of ordering them on their website.

My son got a Minifig that was missing the legs but had an extra hat. Asked for the missing legs, a day later got an e-mail saying the couldn’t supply Minifig bits separately and that they didn’t know what was in each bag because of how they were supplied. About 10 days later got a package in the post with 2 Minifigs in it - all the way from the Netherlands to Australia.

Fantastic service.

Finished the Mack Truck that Russ kindly did us the deal on tonight, it truly is a monster! Has taken me about two weeks of an hour here, couple of hours there, to get it done.

They should come out with an add on pack that is everything you need to build another container.

I love a bit of good service but come on, they're raking it in the money they charge for little plastic blocks.

All replacements parts for the Claas received so happy days.

Picked these two up this morning.



Racing yacht first I think.

Racing yacht built.



Quite a good, although quick, build. Looks good. Also like the fact that Lego halve included two sets of instructions so you can build the yacht or a Catamaran.

Porsche’s next.

What’s the betting the Toys R Us sale will bring Lego down to still more than it should be?

When I was in ToysRUs this morning most of the Technic was gone as was nearly all of the Star Wars stuff.

Looked as though the expensive stuff had disappeared. Into whose car I wonder.....

Quite possibly returned to Lego. If Lego haven’t been paid then I can imagine them having all stock returned.

It all either went back to Lego or got concentrated in just a few stores (most likely because Lego had stopped supplying them). All the ToysRUs shops I've been into recently have had no lego whatsoever, aisles of empty shelves instead.

Bad news for those losing jobs, but hopefully good news for our favourite PH online Lego retailer....

Really enjoyed building the Mack. First bit of lego in, well lets just say a few decades frown Any suggestions on a good follow up?

Claas tractor is a great build, as are the two big Mercedes sets - unimog and arocs.

Probably end up about £40+ per container.

Shelf after shelf of Lego at our local toys r us (chesterfield) 10% of it all so nothing wonderful yet but I expect this discounts will increase.

Excavator, Porsche, Mack truck all in stock from the big technic stuff.

So probably still more expensive than anywhere else?
