    great idea, I haven't even thought about that, have the thing pack up like they're going to a festival. That would be awesome,thanks. How many hippies can we fit in a van?

    Gah, Kings Cross station is shiny and new and CONFUSING! Had to buy a CMF from Smiths for a sense of the familiar.

    How long did it take? If I do go ahead and do it, the obsessive compulsive in me wants to put the pieces back in their corresponding bag/box, which I'm not looking forward to!

    It was around five hours. Not something I enjoyed but it had to be put away correctly. I am very slow though.

    Lego fix satisfied after a delicious lunch. The day could have only been more perfect if I could multi-task making it possible to build and read here at the same time.

    ^Doesn't want to ruin his reputation at school and his friends, eh?
    Yeah...probably...lol. They're all into basketball and video game of choice is Minecraft now.
    @Si_Dorking_Surrey_UK Right on. He's still into building his own stuff so we have that time together. He helped me with the Podracer kit and we had a blast. Sebulba's racers is a great build. Awesome set for parts too.
    @Savage_Steel I know...:( I'll miss our days out to the store but he does want to go to the Club meeting for the Marvels heroes theme build so we'll have a nice day at the store then...;)

    Just finished building the mini lego store. Still waiting on a few pieces from bricklink but with all the bank holidays I couldn't wait so subbed where necessary. Quite pleased with it.

    The 'Easter bunny' brought my niece and nephew lego. Built the atlantis sub and the pizza planet truck with them. Both great sets, the pizza truck was great for a girl, the figs are awesome and she loved putting them in and out. plus the build for a 4 year old is pretty good as it's split into 4 bags. Thanks Tesco for that at 75% off!
    Atlantis sub is great, but a bit fragile when trying to open and close it. plus the big stickers, grrrr!

    I've had a nice day with my children, we watched The adventures of Clutch Powers on DVD. Then we built 4 Toy Story sets together, I would also like to thank Tesco of those great buys. I can't forget the Cars 2 Duplo, my little 15 month old boy pushing them around saying brum brum :)

    ^ cute! not bought any of those yet, I figured by the time bump is old enough to enjoy them I'll have acquired plenty of other duplo sets...but the cars do look very playable.

    We also watched clutch powers. though I might have fallen asleep a couple of times, in my defence though I did cook roast beef dinner for 8 before hand.

    My LEGO status right now would probably be 'So many MOCs to build, so little time!' On account that the deadline for the Forbidden Cove JRCIII is coming up, and I have way to many categories to build for! Hopefully I at least get a few more done before the end...

    Spent most of yesterday helping to build the display models for the new Milwaukee-area LEGO store. We did 60+ models in less than 12 hours.
    On Saturday, a group of us from NELUG did the same for the Peabody MA store, due to open in May. I completed 5 of the 37 'ribbon' models, and between us, we had probably only 6 or 7 left to do (will be done by some members next weekend). A very enjoyable day (topped off by a visit to the Braintree MA Lego store for above-mentioned grab bags & PaB).

    @si - americans call a fringe "bangs" eugh! seems so wrong! Also that style is available from lego direct in light yellow for about 50p ish.
    Indeed; I've lived here 16 years now, and never got used to why that call a 'fringe' that ... and also why they have no "h" in yoghurt and pronounce it "yo gert" (with a pause between syllables). And I don't know how many times I have to correct ... the plural of Lego is Lego ... not Legos!!

    The birthday cake is one of the ones I did - and yes, all 30 of those bugs! I'll bet TB will be an excellent build ... I should get that set, being from the UK and all that ... lol.

    @jadedanc - that pool scene is a beast. It ended up being a 5+ hour build for one of our people.
