Your Birthday presents are awesome.

Just got Lego Universe and my NEXUS FIG!!!! I'm so happy!

OCTAN

Hopefully I'm probably gonna get the seaplane, the traveler or the airplane set next wednesday when my parents come back from turkey... but they might not find anything...

Still I don't like when my parents leave... it stinks not having them around, plus I'm alone with my brother and when my parents aren't around he can be a real jerk...

Then again tomorrow is Friday, yet my parents leave Saturday morning, I have mixed feelings...


Cheers.

Thats cool. I don't really like like brickarms because I'm a lego purist.

Even if you use BA you are still considered a purist by most people...

Just got Hagrid's Hut and Quidditch Match.

As long as no one properly conciders it as a clone brand.

How could it possibly be a clone brand? They don't make sets, They make minifigures and weapons. And being a non-purist doesn't just mean using clone brand parts. A non-purist (Customizer) modifies official Lego parts and stuff like that.

I forgot to say the figure's are cool. I went to TLS first, they were sold out, then I went to TRU and was able to find Quidditch Match easily, but couldn't find Hagrid's Hut. Then JCC (he was shopping with me) found THE LAST Hagrid's Hut on the side of the isle. Thanks, JCC!

Lucky, I'm only gonna buy the Hogwarts express due to the price, if I find teh Quiddditch set in discount I'll buy two of it, if not then thank you and good night...

It really does suck to live in Portugal, we have no money, and even if the euro is more powerful thanthe dollar, we sometimes pay twice the ammount of money you pay for a set...

I use the Euro too, But thankfully, My parents buy my Lego for me.

In other news I recently got the Small Car and the Traveler impulse set.

Don't talk about price, my parents bought it for x-mas when it was released and they paid 100€ which is 120$

Got Atlantic Exploration HQ, it's really nice.

The Empire wrote:Got Atlantic Exploration HQ, it's really nice.

I got it a while back, it is a very nice set! And this is the rest of my collection...

Indeed it is nice. 32 figs+5 sets+less than a week=LEGO rehab for me.

You should have seen what I did after my birthday this year. I had a serious BrickLink Addiction. Also got quite a few sets.

Well TRU didn't have any Bricktober magnets when Empire went with me but the clerk told me I could come back with the receipts and get them. I'm debating between the Black Falcon or Calvary Lieutenant. Leaning toward Calvary Lieutenant.

Brick arms and brickforge orders came today, I'd like to say how I feel about them, But that might not be suitable for this site... Lets just say:

A lot of stuff, My favourites would have to be the BA Xeno rifle, BA Modern combat pack, BF Black Halo spartan and the BA HCSR just to name a few.

Bricktober #2 :classicsmile:

A Civil War Union Calvary Colonel and trooper.
Not from Bricktober. I not dare open that! The value is going to skyrocket! I'm not going to sell it but I'd prefer to have it sealed and just by an original.

Just came back form the Lego Expo at the "El Corte Inglês" Shopping mall(the Expo I refered in my "The Life of a Portuguese TFOL" Topic) and got the City House set for my Dude series, I'll build it now, HURRAY!

Cool! I just got an extra Vampire, Karate Master, and Cop.

~Are you going to continue "Dude..." soon!? ~

~Are you going to continue "Dude..." soon!? ~

That should go either in the random discussion or in the dude topic, but yes I am, I'll eb using it as Mason's house and I'm writting ep3

Cheers.

Nice, just wanted to know. Back on topic.

Have an extra Baywatch Girl, Wieghtlifter, and Karate Master from Series 2.

DAM YOU PORTUGAL!

I went and got Emerald Knight today. I'm saving it for later. I just wanted to get it before it sold out and while double VIP points still applied. It also turns out there are 60+ Series Two figures there. I didn't have my bar code sheet and I didn't want to ask the group of Jewish children to borrow theirs. So I'm going back tomorrow to get some more. :classicsmile:

I won the speed-build (my second time) and was able to get 3 free figures, and JCC 1. I was able to get this guy:

And the prince, no hair, sadly (but I'll order it when I spend my $25!):

And some parts, a chrome gold sword, Asoka (PoP) head, tan fedora, red ninja torso, World Racers legs, a really nice sword, and a hammer.

Wondering how I got these nice parts from the LEGO store? A nice employee took out a big bucket of nice parts left over from a LEGO Universe display (including many accessories, heads, too many Hermione heads, head gears, and nice ones, also some torsos, and legs) . And when I won, she let me pick from THAT, not the basic thing. I scored! Also, I have $25 bucks that's burning a hole in my bricklink pocket! To bricklink, I go! And with that money I will get Gent, accessories, parts, alternate sig-fig parts and accessories, also maybe some other figure(s).

EDIT: The Prince's head IS NOT the Collectable minifig Spaceman head, is NOT.

Nice loot.

Indeed, well I just made a custom batgirl helmet(need to sand the nose down)and received a load of batman decals from a "Mexican" I know(I only know one mexican and Jack^(lennonfan1010) knows who he is) can anyone guess what my next series will be(while GU doesn't go back nor forward...)

I went to the LEGO store, hunting... yesterday....for one of these! and guess what, I not only got one of those, but this awesome impulse! Just 298 to go!

~Funny story, but rue story~

When JCC and I went to the LEGO store Wednesday night, we were feeling lucky! After I played the LEGO Universe demo on the computer to check it out (if my computer could take it, I'd buy it!), I went to work! We thought we were hitting the mother load with Spartans, and when I searched, I help a mother and daughter help get some minifig they wanted, and after that, continued. Once we became a wee bit suspicious of our many Spartans, we re-checked the bar code sheet. One of us (unknown to our knowledge) must of screwed up, because when we re-checked, do you know what minifig's code matched our many Spartans, THE RINGMASTER! Uh! We were so upset. When we left, we each at least an another Spartan.

Nice, I have four of each.

Octan

Nice, did you mean 4 Spartans? And I only spent 6 bucks (that's why I kept it low) so I could make a nice BL order for sig-fig parts, 1-2 figures, accessories, parts to complete figures, and parts to complete figures from my extra parts bin.

Four spartans and four of those traveler sets. :classicsmile:

Octan

Man, that's good! With they'd sell them in sets. But I at least want 5 by the end of series 2 days. (4 worriers, one king (like in 300))

One Spartan, Skier, Pharaoh, Witch, and Surfer. Was supposed to get a DJ and Pop Star instead of Surfer and Witch. Must have gotten mixed up.

Also Empire got another Spartan. We got the only two there.

Also Empire, I gave you the bar code sheet and you were looking for a Spartan. You got them mixed up and used the supposed "Spartan" to look for others. Also I just need 7 more until I have a second complete set!

It was you, I believe that told me to look for this barcode, not showing me the "Spartan". I memorized it, and once we got back, we checked. No one knows for sure, it could've been you, me, or

I just got 2 minifigs but nothing else cos im low on ca$h. i got the karate master and the mexican dude.


perthpoke

Nice figure's, perthpoke! Thank god you didn't get the ringmaster.

i dont have a spartan,but thats what im getting next. i didnt use the barcodes to find the figs i wanted but my karate master and my surfer have the same barcodes!!(i keep the empty packets you see, just if anyone wants the barcodes)

I entered a weekly phrase contest(that will extend until the 24th of December) at a mall I go to very often(the mall where I told you I was going to and where I bought the city house set) and if I win(I do have my hopes set pretty high... maybe too high...) I get 200€ to use in lego sets!(if everything goes according to plan I'll leave the place with the green grocer, the helicopter and limousine and 2 cents...)

Cheers, and here's to hoping

By- A guy who decided to make parodies of songs by switching selected words with the name owned by our very own "Empire", here's what I've got so far: (drumroll please) "Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, Empire Phone!(doop doopie doop-i-do!) ting, tang, ting, tang, ting, Yompire Phone! It's no baloney, it ain't a phony! my Celular, Empirular Phone!(Empire Phone, Doop, Doopie, Doop-i-do!)"

P.s: I was gonna post this in Random discussion(the entire thing, not the "Empire Phone" song) but there's apparently a Rap battle going on(when will perthpoke learn he isn't a match for my rhymes)...

Really nice rap, blhc
neat, cool, and funny.
But I placed an order on Bricklink, you see,
for Gent, 2 Redcoats, and a brown dog with fleas
for I lost mine, very mysteriously.
I also got a cape, 4 wands, and flags, consisting of 3.
And long hair for Snape, and 2 telephones, oh, he he!
And some gray guns and swords, for my 2-man Calvary.
And also a blue cup, so my minifigs won't get thirsty.
Also a blue wizard hat, and a medium blue and brown suitcase, oh, what glee!
Many things I am getting from Germany!
Also some black bars for wands and for guns
So violent in fact, a perfect match for killer Nuns!
Also Wavy hair for Lockhart, and a new head (the old one so damaged, it's prior owner should be shunned!)
Also hair for Malfoy, so he can not be bald, so enjoy the fresh "hair" while you can, for MOC's are coming your way
And a blue rock and jewel, so my sig-fig can sell them for "monie-ay!"
Oh, I am not done, so please, try to stay,
for I will tell of my new Viking helm, and head, oh, ho ho yay!
And white legs and Redcoat torso, to make another for my army.

Wow, I rhymed will telling about by BL order!
