Wow thats really cool, I'd love one but the price!

Geektastic: I feel a bit old to do that....

Lies all lies, you are never to old.

I also find building lego relaxing while watching tv :)

If you buy 3 you don't have to pay the $70 shipping. Anyone in wellington want to coordinate and buy with me? I'll pay and you can pay me the 199 once it arrives.

cancel that

Watch it. 3 would push it over the GST amount if you are bringing it in from overseas

Might be better if you email toyco and ask when they are getting it as their prices are normally the same on the lego site but include GST etc

Oh good point, thanks. What is the limit by the way?

Are you suggesting that you'd buy a 2000-piece Lego kit for a child?

Lego store online purchases already include GST so you can buy as many as you want!

That is goddam freakin *awesome*. My birthday is coming up too...

Who else? It's a toy isn't it?

I used to build the big technical sets when I was 10 years old or so. They had plenty of parts IIRC.

Which was 40 years ago. Yikes!

10 years old 40 years ago, but that means you're younger than me - I don't understand, d'you mean that your user photo isn't actually an actual photo ? 

P.S. Does the little guy with sunglasses mean something special ?

Obviously you coincidentally buy this stuff for your kids birthday, pretend to give it to him/her/it and end up building it yourself.

Oh that is good, last time i ordered from them (a few years ago) I had to cancel as they told me I would get hit with GST.

For once, a tempting ad!

And think of the money you'd save compared to the Lego!

Ordered one the min it came out on MightyApe. When I did it was $199 from MightyApe. However its now out of stock.
