I wouldn't be too upset about not being in Aus...After all, you get a
bigger, better, cheaper range of lego where you are. [but then you also have
to put up with us complaining about it, so I suppose that evens things up :)

   *Nosy American pokes head in, sniffs around for truffles*

I've grabbed the instructions -- and I'm delighted to note • there _is_ a
superpower supplement...

   I *need* to see this vaunted BrikWars rule set--it sounds
   fascinating!  Yet another reason I'm upset not to be in Oz,
   as if the monsoons we're having here in the NYC Metro Area
   aren't reason enough--I'm greenly envious reading of all
   this planning!  :(

Re the sales: ended up with the stone tower bridge (a well • designed set,
but... [rant moved to bottom of post]), GPSP, battle droid • (love it) and a few
smaller sets.

I've got a 1/64 model of the Monkey Magic Magic Mountain of • Monkeys, and (I
think) enough bricks. Just gotta get me some simians...

   Monkey Magic *what*?

Dave

<rant:begins> Lego pulled a really cheap piece of work on • this set (6089). One
of the large grey slopes has no stone printing, and one of • the revolving doors
has no japanese screen printing, (absent) features which are • quite deceitfully
(IMVHO) misrepresented on the box. </rant:over>

   Here comes Neighbourly Gesture Part II (read: selfishness):  I
   need unprinted large dkgrey slope panels, and I have plenty
   of printed ones I'd be happy to trade for them (even all the
   way to Australia from here in the YooEss!).  I'd rather not
   have to Brasso mine off if I can avoid it, especially when
   other worthy people need more stone ones.  Same deal with the
   revolving door panels.  I have little use for Ninja-decorated
   elements, and unlike with UFO panels, I just feel smarmy buffing
   them blank.

   So if you want to swap yours out, consider me your Man On The
   Other Side Of the Pacific.  (Not confidence man, just the
   regular upstanding sort, etc etc.)

   best

   Lindsay

   PS:  Update on Gesture Part I:  I don't think we have Shell
   Stations in this part of the country--I will have to check when
   I go home to Detroit, we have them there.
