I saw those in Toy R Us last week, but I only have $6. :/

EDIT: I actually only have 3. I spend $3 on two cans of Sprite and a new backdrop (poster board).

Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

I haven't seen the new Space Police on the shelves yet, do they have that new body armor that we saw in those earlier photos?

I really don't have enough bricks. So just the sets I get, usually just the $10 or less, which have minifigs but not many bricks. I was just thinking about hitting the Lego store I found out about a few months ago.

I really need to get one of those bulk brick deals online.

Just been working 7 days a week.

Last weekend I was doing my impression of green slime in a dungeon that nobody ever visits. Well that and trying to get the last medal I don't have in COH, damn allied bombers.

Definitely worth it. I just built all of them, and have to say that these are boneriffic good. Review coming in... eventually.

Oh and no, no body armor.

Yeah, you're right. I went to TRU yesterday after work and bought one of the smaller sets and acetoned the logo off the body armor. It looks pretty good & has a hollow stud on the back.

Anyone see the new Power Miners sets? The Rock Wrecker looks pretty evil.....

This Space Police stuff looks like some real high quality design though.

Nobody has mentioned this so you may not know that those rock monsters have heads that open up. You can then fit those crystals inside their body.

I got a Stone Chopper last month.

The only thing I don't like about those is all the TECHNIC.
