My plan for the Lego Store shopping spree met with limited success. First they didn't have the Green Grocer, then they didn't have the Technic bulldozer either, and that was my backup plan item. I was able to get a Cafe Corner and I quickly filled two Read More...

I'm sure that everyone here is familiar with being outbid on ebay. Some person has the high bid, you're willing to pay more, you place your bid, the other dude's bid was higher than yours, so ebay tells you that you were outbid. Pretty simple. I just Read More...

The preview pics for the Indiana Jones (IJ) minifig that I have seen are pretty cool. As far as I know, I have only seen CG images; no actual photos of bona fide ABS figs. Several sites have recently reported on the upcoming IJ LEGO video game that's Read More...
