You have to give banks a few days to sort out deposits.
If you assume everything happens instantly, you will be disappointed and the bank will laugh at you.

My bank has normally been pretty good with things like this in the past - although the debit takes a day or so to come out, it normally reads as being "taken" when I check my account (either over a counter or at an ATM).

This time around, I have lego themselves telling me that my order has been blocked, and that they cannot complete the transaction without my banks say so, which is entering into serious realms of "What the fucking fuck?" when yet again, they have decided to do something in my account, without my say so (the last time being three years ago when I started university but didn't yet have my student loan, so they decided to "close" my account until my loan came in to "protect me from un-necessary debt" which as a result, ended up with me in £700 worth of debt and a fuck tonne of bullshit (of which I only managed to scrape back £120 worth of charges from the bank because of their bullshit).

I bought Minecraft. Quite a Lego'ish experience. My buildings I made in there look just as

as my Lego creations.

Also some books. Including the manly Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. I wish i had had the opportunity to read that at the age of 13.

I too, have fallen to the Minecraft trap. Made a few maps till I found one with an awesome levelgen and hacked in 1228 smooth stones and 255 torches and built myself a kingdom.

Got a box of Collectable Minifigs yesterday... well, just the box, it was empty and the cashier said I could have it. Oh, and a Sega Genesis.

After a few days of argueing with my bank for crap crap and more crap - and a new job (WOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH!) I now have lego universe and 20 (real life and everything!) Scythian Marines due in the post.

And, As I have the parts list saved - as I recieve more money in future - I will be buying them in lots of 20 a time, which means the Scythian ground forces should expand quite nicely.

Time to convert the Tarantula MBT into a parts list and figure out how much it'll cost to buy one of those fuckers!

Here is the haul from Legoland. Most of it was for Mini-Warhead.

The Atlantis Explorer base set (Mini-Warheads)
The Atlantis Brickmaster book set (Mini-Warheads)
The Crabby Patty Set (Mini-Warheads)
The City Lego Town House (Birthday Prez for the Brother in Law)
The Power Miners Aqua Truck-thingy with the silver dude (Mini-Warheads)
The Ork Battlepack (Bought for me by Mrs Warhead)
The Pirate Battlepack (Mine)
The Atlantis Fridge Magnet set (split with Mini-Warhead and me)
The Girly Figs Fridge Magnet set (mine, more hoes)
The Harry Potter Magnet set (mine)
Two extra large baseplates (one for Mini-Warhead and the other for me)

That's not counting the three large Briklink orders waiting on our return or the outstanding package still to arrive from the USA.

Now that's some epic haul. I gotta wait if get any scholarship at all, if I really want to buy some more parts and bits. And spoiler: I really want, my mind is full of ideas

How can you even afford all of this!? Buying a $20 set already is too much for me. O_o

What the hell does Warhead do for a living besides be awesome and spoil his kid? I went to Legoland san diego last year, it was really cool, but the rides themselves sucked mostly.
Anyway, getting this for Manly Santa Day:

Pretty Damn good price if you ask me.

Also, how do you get those 'flawless victory', 'nooo' emoticons etc.?
