My first recommendation would be 10039, the Black Falcon's Fortress. It
has a good price point and is the largest source of corner wall panels,
which are almost impossible to replace with bricks.

It is also a good source of gray parts and Castle accessories and 'figs.
For some different parts, Snape's Classroom is currently on sale at
shop.lego.com (and presumably through the 'phone as well) for $10; at that
price, it's a good deal on accessories, arches, etc.

(I've also seen this and the Winged Keys for $10 at TRU in the US.)
On the other hand, there are some bulk accessories that are very
attractive with the 15% discount. In particular, the large gray baseplate
is generally only available at $13 at TRU or in a Mosaic, so it's worth
getting for $8.50 from S@H. Green and blue baseplates are also good to
have (although with green you may be able to do better than S@H by looking
for 16 x 32 baseplates on BrickLink). Also, now would be a good time to
stock up on slopes (especially the black low slopes).
Finally, if you don't already have a Mosaic. . .a gray baseplate, lots of
black slopes, and enough 1x1 plates to last you for a long time. IIRC,
the Johnny Thunder mosaic has the best balance of shades.

| Hi all, I need some advice on a lego purchase. It'll probably be the last shop at home order I do in a while as I'm headed down to NZ. So would you all recomend bulk pieces or legend sets?
