Hi Everyone! Merry Christmas!
I was curious to see what everyone got as a present this year, What was your favorite set or most interesting Lego gift?
I have to say my fiance' came up big with a ton of old grey bricks she bought off of Bricklink! I didn't even know she knew about it. I hope everyone had a great holiday and a Happy New Year!
I didn't get any LEGO presents this year because I don't think my mom or dad would bother going online to order the good lego stuff (by good i mean older stuff). It's ok because I'd be a little dissappointed if i got a lame kk2 set. But when I was younger, I'd trick my aunts into buying sets that I already had and liked, so I could have two.
I got Vladkek's attack kit, 8779 the Grand Tournament, and with the money I received for Christmas I picked up a Vladek encounter. So I went from having no Euro armor to having 8 of them! Three of them are Vladek's too! I'm actually excited that I finaly got some KK2 sets, just to see what the new colors are like and to see what KK2 is like too. Infact I don't see much of a difference inbetween the light grays, hough the dark grays are definitely different, way different. You can see a difference in the lights too, just not a reall distinctive one. Unless they are right by eatchother.
Anyways, I think this was a very productive one. I nterms of LEGO that is.
But I went and bought myself 2 of the newest racer sets today(8641 and 8642), and I went to a Goodwill, and managed to find a few old castle pieces in decent condition(mainly just BURPs and wall sections-no figs or anything).
A box or so of assorted used LEGO, mostly Studios in nature, as well as 6016 from my brother, and a somewhat useless (well, unlikely to be used) Bionicle Metro Nuian Matoran.
Definitely not my biggest LEGO haul ever, but I think it might be an improvement on last year.
