Bobbo_SA Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Got to meet Bobbo_SA and family on Saturday at the shop...and take delivery of this... CP0eMROWoAAgM0U.jpg Normally I don't play nice with others, but I let Jamie and Casey build with me... CP2J0kIWsAAO1ZR.jpg CP5C2PoWIAAFfgM.jpg Easily one of the greatest Lego sets ever produced! So much of chuffed! I'm quite impressed by his size, by the way the box felt, and that there seemed to be very little "air" space in the box i figured he was going to be a decent size. Now we just hope they decide the "Tinny" is a viable candidate to move into production. Tumbleweed 1

Now we just hope they decide the "Tinny" is a viable candidate to move into production. *log on to Lego ideas, and votes for Tinny...* Ja, there is actually a lot that goes into Wall-E. Sjoe, getting the kids to be patient as we sorted through the pieces was tough! I had to keep myself in check, especially when Casey threatened to get his granddad, - who's a rather well-known legal figure - to sue me if I didn't let him do more!
Tumbleweed Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Oh, I don't have a pic of the completed set handy, but I built this as well... ...which led to a visit to my local tattoo guy. Loooooong story...you'll see shortly...

Tumbleweed Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 My office is very noisy on a Friday, but very little happens... It's also the day that I pay a weekely visit to see the peeps at Lilliputs, where I came across this: a model of building that is also noisy, but very little happens...

Tumbleweed Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Too much I might have wanted, but nothing I really wanted in Lilliputs today, so I settled for these... Edited October 19, 2015 by Tumbleweed
Tumbleweed Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 They dimmed the lights for the Aussie-Scotland game, so I had to build by Zippo-light...
Tumbleweed Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Where is the cheapest place to buy Lego from? From the last few months of buying, the local retailers are much of a muchness. You might find a couple of hundred rands difference in the bigger sets, but you're not going to get huge bargains. Occasionally, you come across sets that are very old stock, and marked way cheaper than elsewhere - picked up a Creator 3-in-1 eagle on Friday like that - but not too common. Alas...Not really one for online buying, but a mate who is says SA retailers seem to be on a par with overseas and online peeps.

Tumbleweed Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Cool thanks. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

Tumbleweed Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 My 30th birthday present: Wall-e.jpg Cool pics! Two of my mates got that as presents recently. Their wives are cursing me because their hubbies are getting into Lego after hearing me go on and on about it... Gen 1
MarickH Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 For future reference, this is where my Wall-e came from:http://creativeplay.co.za/ My friends bought gift coins, which I could then use on the site to buy him. Very good service. They deal mainly online, since they are located in Clanwilliam. Gen 1
