After my regular Friday night Lego sweep of Bris. City a couple of weeks ago, I discovered that the new Adventurers stuff was in Target. The big plane (I can't remember it's set number) was there and priced at $39. 'This is quite cheap' I thought (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

Up off bottoms time! I've decided enough whinging about "They get these and it's not fair" "We don't get internet order 'til..." "THey get it so much cheaper over there" "I can't find this in stores" "Look at how much this is reduced over there" (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

Having been on holidays this week, I've had time for more Lego building than normal. So, having just finished building the 7191 UCS X-Wing, I thought I'd write a short review. Firstly go take a look at the photo off the box: (URL) you will see what (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

I checked my local Toyworld, and they said that the set wasn't available to them. I'm wondering if this is true for the rest of Australia, or just for my neck of the woods. If it's just for my neck of the woods, I think I'll just try to order that (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

The biggest problem you will find is that each LEGO Technic gear is one brick wide, except for the smallest one which is slightly more than a brick wide. Set up four or five of these side by side and your bicycle is going to look more like an (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

So, Technics heads, what do you reckon about the new catalogue? For a Technics set, the 8458 Silver Champion appears to be more about looks than engineering. Indeed, it looks very similar to the 8445 Formula 1 Racer apart from the colour (I don't (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
