Brave New Lego World: day CXXV: 850791LEGO Minifigure Birthday Set GET!

Day 125, 18/06/2013:

Another day of browsing through the back catalogue of Lego sets, another random set I didn’t know existed and I. must. have. now! Specifically, I came across the 2013 LEGO Minifigure Birthday Set on shop.lego.com:

Lego 850791 LEGO Minifigure Birthday Set

I mostly got it for the clown minifig, his accessories (omg a horn! And cake!!) than using it specifically for a birthday; my birthday isn’t anytime soon, but I guess that doesn’t stop me from buying myself a gift ^_^

However, I did buy a second box because the friend at work that got me back into Lego is having his birthday soon, and thought this was an apt (and inexpensive ;P) gift 🙂

Brave New Lego World: day LXXII: 60009 Helicopter Arrest + 40052 Springtime Scene + 850449 Minifig Accessory Pack GET!

Day 72, 26/04/2013:

Despite being sent out at the same time as the Pick A Brick order, the sets I ordered from shop.lego.com arrived two days later. I have not been able to find any retailer in Australia that sells the 2013 60009 Helicopter Arrest, so I decided to purchase this directly from Lego in order to get the free* shipping (*free for orders of 150+AUD). Edit: Toys R Us AU (and USA) have an exclusive on this set:

Lego City 60009 Helicopter Arrest

Considering the order hadn’t reached 150AUD yet (this set costs 79.99AUD), I also ordered the totally radical 21.99AUD 2012 850449 Lego Minifigure Accessory Pack duuude:

There should be some space around the beach to place this set (hopefully).

Still short of 150AUD, I also ordered the newly released 2013 12.99AUD 40052 Springtime Scene:

This set should fit in around the forest police sets/area on table 3 (assuming that doesn’t change). Lego was also doing a deal where I could get the 40049 Mini Soptwith Camel if I bought something from the Creator series, so in order to get, I purchased the 9.99AUD 626 Large Green Baseplate:

40049 Mini Sopwith Camel polybag

626 Large Green Baseplate

Figured I’d need a large green baseplate eventually and thought I might as well get it now whilst its purchase served an immediate purpose.

Granted the mini Sopwith Camel won’t really fit in with other airplanes due to scale, I reckon I can get it in somewhere without it sticking out like a sore thumb.
