I am going to reward myself after working for two weeks straight and will check some local stores for Lego. Moar baseplates, minifigs, Agents helicopter (on sale), old sets, collectibles or just several kilograms of used bricks? Ahh, the possibilities...

Edit: Hmpf, my favourite source of cheap lego is closed due to holidays. So i went to a more expensive (and nerdy) store where i was tempted to buy the Exploriens Starship (6982) but that's more a collectors item and i need briks for my armies and upcoming forum battle...
So i was modest and only got two more SP3 minifigs, the Kingdoms catapult set and moar blood elements.

I've been meaning to get a bunch of stuff from Bricklink, but money's tight right now.

Nice little set well worth the money. The dragon knight looks totally badass and the dark perl weapons are awesome.

Seems the Kingdom minifigs will be ridiculously popular. In the shop i have been too they sold single spare knights for more than 4€ each while the set above comes with two of them and cost 7€.

Plenty of cool heads in this one. The spider's eyes are new; 1x1 round plates with a hole through the stud, which I guess can only be useful. Bad news are that the fire pieces don't have the little pegs that you use to stick them in dragons' mouths and to make fire rings. I hope this isn't the new standard.

Oh yeah, I'm sooo wanna get my paws on a box or two of these. Thoguh I don't have 40 spare bucks. Oh well. Gotta wait till holiday sales I guess.

I thought I read that the Space Police line was dead after 2010 is done.

The way it was explained to me was that it was a two year cycle and thus would not be having new sets in 2011.

I recently discovered TradeMe (well, actually I knew about it long before now, but until I rediscovered a passion for all things Lego, there wasn't anything that I wanted to buy there...). It's a lot like e-bay, but New Zealand Only (like a nation-wide yard sale...)/

Have recently purchased a few nice items to bulk up my collection:

8877 VLADEK'S DARK FORTRESS!! (a huge black castle from the Kingdoms series 2004)
3x Kingdom knights (the really big guys that Lego put out about 2004 - they'll make nice giants).
A bundle of 20x 1x2x5 pillars
An Orc (from the kingdms series -although I think they are called trolls there)
A box of assorted minifigures and accessories (some great bits and pieces in there, including a T-Rex! - Lego dinosaurs are really rare over here)

I'm also buying up baseplates at my local toyshops as money permits (have 2x regular (32x32) blue, 1x regular green, and one really big gray one so far). My motto is you can never have too many baseplates (or minifigures, or guns...)
