Brick Update

I stopped by my local LEGO Store to check out the new Super Star Destroyer.

Displayed at kid-height in the front window, although for the price ($400) and lack of playable features, it seems as though it’s mostly an adult collector item:

A close up:

No sign of any for sale, just the box of the set they built for the display:

The other big Star Wars sets available:

And tons of other choices. Can’t wait to see how the Marvel and DC lineup next year displaces Star Wars:

The Star Wars advent calendar:

Alien Conquest and Pirates of the Caribbean:

And more…

Ninjago display up front:

The only sale items I saw on display, from Pharoah’s Quest:

I hadn’t seen these before, Pirates of the Caribbean minifig packs:

Someone seemed to have bought a few of the Kingdoms sets:

The City advent calendar:

Amazing the number of big collector sets now available. Three modulars plus Tower Bridge, Imperial Flagship, two Maersk sets and Emerald Night.

And let’s not forget the Space Shuttle, as well as those architecture sets. I was amazed that the Robie House is $200!

A look at the store:

Toys R Us has had back to back to back sales on LEGO for weeks now. I have bought some stuff from them online, but decided to see what my local store had in stock.

A visit to my local Target to see their stock of summer 2011 LEGO sets:

Another day, another package with dark tan LEGO bricks:

My mailbox was stuffed full of LEGO goodness today. The new issue of LEGO Club magazine, an eBay purchase, and a BrickLink order:

The packages all opened:

I got the Indiana Jones set 7620 for a good price. Good figs and motorcycles:

And my need for dark tan bricks continues. More 1×2’s, 2×2’s, slopes, and plates:

Some shots of a recent trip at the LEGO Store.

The red cargo train:

LEGO City and Education:

Piles of the new Star Wars and Ninjago sets:

I think these are new Spongebob sets:

More new Ninjago sets:

Not a huge crowd, but always activity:

Cars 2 sets. Some nice colors in these cars:

I likely won’t buy any, but there are some nice little sets in the Cars 2 lineup:

The brick grab bag had some nice colors in it. I was eyeing the bag on the right, with some sand green and dark green in it:

More Indiana Jones minifigs arrived today. I am really only interested in the russian uniform/hat and the dark tan uniforms as well. This is all for a larger project I am working on.

I finally started building the Grad Emporium. There is something nice about turning a table full of pieces into a neat little building. My progress so far:

I picked up some more Indiana Jones minifigs for a MOC I am working on. There were some nice military outfits on some of the minifigs in the lineup.

Working on my first MOC in a looooong time. Need lots of dark tan bricks, so I grabbed some from BrickLink in four separate orders:
