No monster hunters?
I though it was a great theme! Is that lego own theme or licensed? I don't really want to jump in to too many themes.
Galaxy squad is the one with the bug type things? I loved Ice planet and early space lego themes, but this one is a bit... How to be nice about it.. Not my cup of tea.
Castle set sounds good. There is no active castle theme by lego themselfs? I heard there will be new western one. It's a shame it will be licensed on some Disney movie.
Maybe batman? I like batman.
I am putting away few quid each week now. So might buy something next week again. I want to get a good base and start building my own stuff soon. At the moment I only have 3 sets. Would love to get unimog, before 2013 h2 sets kick in. 0 -

That was an original Lego theme. It was a 'one-and-done' theme, one which has a single wave and then is gone forever - there's one or two of these every year, like the Dino theme, or Alien Conquest and Pharaoh's Quest the year before that.
Yeah this one seems to hark back to the Insectoids theme, but as I said, I think it looks weak. I'd say this will be gone next year too.ShadowHearth wrote: »Galaxy squad is the one with the bug type things? I loved Ice planet and early space lego themes, but this one is a bit...

The last subtheme of Castle was Kingdoms, which got discontinued in 2011. There is one remaining Kingdoms set, a flagship/direct sale set called Kingdoms Joust. There is also the Medieval Market Village, a standalone flagship Castle set. It has just been retired, but it might be early enough to still get for a reasonable price. It was one of the longest-running sets before it retired, and generally regarded as a classic already. But no, there is no active Castle theme at the moment - it seemed to make way for Lord of the Rings - but is being brought back this summer.ShadowHearth wrote: »Castle set sounds good.

Yeah, this is a theme based on Disney's The Lone Ranger. I'd much prefer an original Western theme, but such is life. I think I'll give this a miss, though some of the sets do look pretty cool admittedly.ShadowHearth wrote: »Maybe batman? I like batman.
I am an unashamed Batman nerd, when his return to Lego was announced it was immediate bad news for my bank balance :pac: There's a new Arkham Asylum set out now which looks amazing. The Superheroes theme looks set to stay for a while, so there'll be plenty of Batman yet.ShadowHearth wrote: »I am putting away few quid each week now. So might buy something next week again.

Before you know it you'll be adding a zero to that figure of sets
The Unimog has gotten a lot of buzz, seemingly one of the Technic sets to have. 0 -
I will scratch off monster hunters so.
So looks like batman vs SW vs Lotr. This new hobit will be a trilogy again, so we might get a lot more life out of Lotr theme? let alone there is Lotr and hobit now, which is great.
Batman is batman, legend of the lad! some older sets look great too. its crazy for how much Tumbler is going for though . great set, but not 500eu great! 0 -

Oh, I may be able to help you here.
I really wanted the Tumbler, but wouldn't/couldn't pay the crazy rates. So I figured I didn't really need the minifigures (which really drive up the value) or even the Joker's truck that comes with it. So I decided to build the Tumbler by buying the pieces individually on Bricklink. The build came to €24, and after shipping it came to around €40 all in (shipping can build up because you're ordering from different sellers).
I'll send you a PM later with some more details on how I did it, if you're interested in doing it yourself.0 -

Well i did go in to local world of wonder, while i was shoping with misses. There were few lotr and hobit sets, Starwars and few random older sets.
I have to say they look a lot more impressive in box high profile, then i sow it online in add pictures etc. What is most important thing, that misses sort of got a liking to it! So from " Aye, if you like have fun" it changed to " I will give you a hand putting it together! " ( what could i ask for more in relationship!
Looks like i might stick to Lotr so. I really love it myself! Plus by the looks of it Lotr is one of those sets, that wont drop in to very low value with years.
I wonder where do i start? I like mines of Moria and Helms Deep castle. Unexpected gathering looks fantastic too. I was planing on getting XL motors and few other bits from Lego.com, so it would be handy to get Lotr at the same time.
Maybe someone noticed some good lotr deals online somewhere? Or would you suggest me to go to Cork? I could get to Mahom point and maybe try Douglas that art and hobby shop? things is i dont want to was petrol to go all the way to Cork and come back empty handed.0 -

We're you the one who got it off that fella? He was very stubborn on selling it for cheaper then 150eu
And yeah, prices on se sets are just lialia land these days. That truck is a great example. Hopefully the new green tow truck will be good enough!0 -

No not that guy, i am presuming you are talking about the guy who was trying to sell the bulldozer and excavator and looking for 190 for the excavator even when it was in smyths for retail price.0 -

I dont even own excavator.
I am planing on doing some remote control cars and 4x4 torgue monsters. was planing on getting 3xXL motors, but i already went over my budget this time!
funny thing, i already got a receipt from lego.com... Looks like i might get my order this week, not next, which would be awesome!0 -
