Day 162, 25/07/2013:
The new 2013 60026 Town Square is a perfect fit for my Lego City city and couldn’t wait to get it. However, when it was finally available at the start of the month I was disappointed to find out it was Big W exclusive. Not that the prices at Big W are expensive; quite the contrary. It’s just Big W doesn’t often do sales with Lego, and the opening price was only 5AUD less than what shop.lego.com was selling it for (124.99AUD vs. 129.99AUD). Considering I would get free shipping from shop.lego.com for an order of 150AUD+ and they have quite a few exclusive items, I figured I’d get the 60026 from lego directly.
As per usual it arrived from Lego in a timely manner and in excellent condition:

Which is surprising for such a large box. I guess if I was paying Lego’s expensive shipping it’d be worth it 😛 The box is in Lego’s new large size, which is smaller than the previous large sets.

I figured I’d also get the last 2011 Lego City space set on my list, which is the small & cheap 3365 Moon Buggy:

Ironically, this small box didn’t arrive in excellent condition 
But it’s not exactly an impressive set so :p

This month’s “freebie” (you do have to spend at least 100AUD…) from shop.lego.com is the cool 40078 Hot Dog Stand! 😀

The detail in this small set is quite impressive: the cart opens up at one end to (allegedly) take out more hotdogs; there’s both ketchup and mustard dispensers; the cart has handles and has a griller. Plus it comes with a blue coloured bike and two minifigs, so overall I think it’s a pretty cool freebie 🙂 Can easily have him operating at the beach or in the forest area of my city!
