The official LOOT topic

went to visit relatives and had some time to kill, so I got these:
(was too lazy to get pics, google them if you want)

4x Skeleton helicopter chopper (for teh figs)

1x golden staff guardian (for the mummies and the staff)

1x alien defender (to sample the line, and to grab the new kickass guns)

very successful, overall

Dug through a bin of random crap at a thrift store and found a ton of bricks. Unfortunately, only some of them were Lego, but I still got a pretty good amount.
Some of them were covered in what I'm pretty sure is WD-40, but it washed off with a liberal application of soap and water.

What colour are the humans? Are they just plain blue, or baby blue (medium blue)?

They're the lighter blue.

I'm happy and disappointed at the same time. I think the stuff would be more useful in blue, but then again not every Lego customer makes armies out of their minifigs.

Someone named sidersdd over on Eurobricks posted this:

Comparison of azure blue against (from left to right) dark blue, blue-violet, blue, sand blue, bright light blue, medium blue, Maersk blue, aqua, and dark turquoise:

I thought it might be helpful.

Nuffing wrong with clone bricks, I use them all the time in conjunction with Lego and Mega Bloks bricks. If a brick shows problems with not fitting or staying in place it gets biffed. I think I've only had to biff around 5 bricks out of several hundred so far.

I've just had the Orient Expedition set 7414 arrive on my doorstep; - that's the one with the elephant, - yay!

Delighted to get it because firstly I want the elephant and secondly Pippin Reed (the heroine) has a camera which is going to be very useful for on the spot reporting during Brikwars engagements.
Oh and San Sinister the villian will be useful too; - you need lots of villians in Brikwars

Cool you can have natives riding war elephants.

I still hate myself for passing on these sets back in the day.

It's a really nice set and even though I got it second hand all the tiddly bits were all there except for a different head and green trousers instead of tan on Pippen Reed. I'm definitely going to be looking out for more of these sets.

It is awesome on its own but it screams for being brikwarsy-fied. Also this is my second one and you know what that means: double-sized death bot!

Also, my birthday was on april 30th (partied for two dasy) but still thanks for the late wishes.
