I found this out when I bought the THUNDER DRILLER. I wasn't disapointed with it, though, because I got that kick-ass drill and sweet minifig dynamite.

meh... still worth it
They did have a lot of new head molds, and the 4-armed thing. I think it can be forgiven.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

The technic in the thunder driller is what makes it awesome!, yer it brecks easy but for once lego made a decent play function that works!
I've got two power miner sets both have been scarvaged for parts, the drill piece is awesome.

The freeze ray frenzy set for space police is pretty bad IMHO. A good set for Power miners on the other hand was the Granite grinder. It has treads which are good for tanks and a sled thing for troop transport. I bought two and fused them together to create something akin to the Killdozer.

I just spent $11 on BrickLink today for one of those weird grey raised baseplates and some other stuff including a Space police II minifig.

Really? I thought it was even better than the Gold Heist! Both hoverbikes are built with really clever designs, and the orange dude it comes with is totally awesome.

I personally hated the Space officers bike in that set IV horseman. Also maybe it was just my brother's set or something but that set seemed to stay together only slightly better than Megacraps. I do agree that the Orange guy was indeed very cool though.

I like the second largest set so far, the gold chase I think

The police ship in that is beyond kick-ass,

I'm gonna get one

Im thinking of getting me some of the new pirates . . .

Is it me or is lego going back to basics? pirates, space police, castle etc.
I love it!

yeah thought you might see that. All i can say is i love it when people who know nothing about legos sell them

ok so i spent 10 dollars for a box of legos that had about 60 dollars worth of complete harry potter sets in it as well as a few other misc sets like three Hydronauts 6110 Solo Subs and a race car all in all it was the best lego buy i have made in about four years still not quite as good as when i got 40 castle guys for 5 bucks but it was still a very nice buy
