[wagonrunner]

^dunno. Got it as a gift. came in a huge ass amazon box though and was kinda weighty. Im guessing $200+

amazon boxes + volume shipping, equal no lube, and a card board type friciton during the unlawful sexual assualt.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

now starting my son on Lego City

got 3179 and 7638 (that Pioneer got in Excellent)
very impressed

Knowledge Zone in West Mall has a TON of new sets including the latest Technics (personal favourite growing up) and power functions motors too!!!

Island Hobbies said they will be getting huge Lego stock in about 2 weeks

[pioneer]

You should pick up the last fire truck i posted...KZ price is a killer on it...so is toyland/toymart...and it's more on amazon...sounds like a good deal to me...plus kids fascinated by fire trucks



Yeah KZ basically has every set possible...some stuff reasonable...others better ship in yourself

What i need is building plates!

[pioneer]

Here's a local pricelist i compiled, yes i have no life

Prices are in Knowledge Zone unless stated otherwise

Set # - price

3182 - $1355
3661 - $680

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ KZ is cheaper than Excellent?

KZ has grey building plates - no roads though

the fire truck might be a lil too complex for my son, he's 4, even though he built the wrecker and the repair truck pretty well

Giant LEGO Man Appears On Florida Beach

We've heard of people finding messages in bottles on the beach, but how about an 8-foot-tall LEGO figure?

We first saw the news over at BoingBoing. Apparently a man was out walking on the beach near lovely Siesta Key in Florida, when he came across "something" laying in the surf a ways away. He went to investigate, and what do you know -- it was a giant LEGO man. On its torso was a message, reading "No Real Than You Are." Yeah, we don't get it either.

Nobody (at least nobody official) is sure why the plastic figure showed up on the shore. We spoke to Amanda Santoro, Assistant Brand Relations Manager at LEGO. She declined comment but did say that the "stunt" was "in no way endorsed or sponsored by the LEGO Group or its affiliates."

OK, so does that mean somebody stole a giant LEGO figure and planted it on the beach? Well, maybe. Believe it or not, this sort of thing has happened before. Several years back, a giant LEGO man washed up in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort. That same figure (or perhaps a twin) also appeared at a Brighton beach in the U.K.

Is this the same LEGO man? Did it really cross the ocean by itself? Or was it placed there by a jokester? No way to know. For now, though, check out the video below of people marveling at the discovery. Staged or not, it must have been an odd way to start the morning.

Some stuff cheaper, some not. Like that same fire truck is more than $600 in kz

Excellent also has this for $445



This one is $525 in Toyland Valpark, $465 in KZ Trincity (will confirm)



I flew that one in

Excellent has some nice smaller sets he could easily build, you could build the rest
