  • Brickset welcomes new moderators

    Site update Posted by Huw, May 13 2008 5:30PM

    I have recruited three new moderators: fellow Brickish Association members Martin, bluemoose and Doctor Sinister. Their job will be to make sure we all play nicely in here, so please behave so they don't have much to do :)

  • Limited Edition Mars Mission set

    New set news Posted by Huw, May 9 2008 3:22PM 7649-1

    aj bellinger has once again come up with the goods and has sent us pictures of 7649, a limited edition Mars Mission set. I suspect it'll be exclusive to Toys R Us and LEGOshop.com.

  • Brickset users own over half a million sets between them!

    Site update Posted by Huw, May 8 2008 5:51PM

    Over the last few days you have collectively added 1000-odd sets to your 'sets I own' lists which now takes the total to over 500,000! Unsurprisingly, the top 25 most owned sets are all Star Wars bar one, and I have to say I'm surprised what that one is (take a look yourself).

    Here's to the next half-million!

  • General Grievous now available from S@H!

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, May 1 2008 4:45PM 10186-1

    The eagerly awaited General Grievous model is now available to order from LEGOshop.com, £65 in the UK, $90 in the US, which for once is a slightly better exchange rate than usual for Star Wars sets.

    It'll be a few days before he appears in our product feed, but don't let that stop you using the yellow link on the left to get to LEGOshop.com to order him!

  • Pictures of new Batman sets

    New set news Posted by Huw, Apr 22 2008 3:50PM 7888-1

    An anonymous reader has sent us pictures of the new Batman sets. They look sweet, particularly the tumbler, which to fans of the recent movies, is probably the most recognisable Batman vehicle.

  • Factory space sets now available from S@H

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Apr 19 2008 5:24AM 10191-1

    The two LEGO Factory space sets can now be bought from LEGOshop.com in Europe. However they seem a tad expensive to me. At £70 (or €100 in Germany) for under 1000 pieces they do not compare well with Market Street, for example, which is £10 cheaper and has about 400 more parts. They don't seem to be available from LEGOshop.com in the US, but I suspect they'll be somewhat less than $150, which the exchange rate would suggest given the European prices.
