• Star Wars Celebration 2010 Cube Dudes

  Brickset news Posted by Huw, Sep 2 2010 5:00PM

  If you weren't fortunate enough to get a set of these at the Star Wars Celebration event in Florida last month, fear not: Brickset member JSutton with help from Brent S has reverse-engineered them and provided step-by step instructions, available exclusively here at Brickset.

  You'll find them on the Cube Dudes page, along with instructions for those available from the San Diego Comic Con.

• The 'Brickset effect' strikes again!

  Shopping news (UK) Posted by Huw, Sep 1 2010 2:52PM

  

  4738: Hagrid's Hut
  More details...

  It seems that the Harry Potter sets are now out of stock at Tesco Direct. I reckon that means one of two things:

  Either, everyone here ordered Tesco's entire stock between bluemoose's annoucement yesterday and today or, more likely, someone at LEGO had a quiet word with Tesco after reading about their early availability here and asked them to stop selling them.

  Whatever, I'll be picking up mine from the shop tomorrow and it seems that the 'Brickset effect' strikes again!

• New features

  Brickset news Posted by Huw, Sep 1 2010 11:07AM

  Before I went away I finished off adding some new features which I've just published today.

  • Your overall review ratings are now shown in the results table, along with a link to your review.
  • On the My Sets page you'll see new links to view sets that you have rated 5, 4, 3, 2, 1  and to those you own that you have not yet rated. The links 1 to 5 only appear if you have actually given a set that rating.
  • You can now edit your reviews. If you review a set for a second time, your original review will be shown in the form, which you can then edit.
  • When viewing review listings, an 'Edit this review' link will be provided on your reviews.

  Also, unrelated, the web services have been updated with a new service method and if you have a iPhone/iPad I've provided a fancy icon which will be used if you bookmark Brickset.com.

  As usual, if you find any problems with any of this, or have suggestions for future enhancements, let me know.

• I'm back after a few days away...

  Brickset news Posted by Huw, Sep 1 2010 5:37AM

  I've been away on a short cruise to Cork, Ireland: it looks like its been a busy few days here at Brickset and I'd like to thank bluemoose and grahame for keeping you all informed in my absence. To get me back into the LEGO 'groove' I've just ordered the Harry Potter sets and will be collecting them tomorrow evening! Nice one Tesco!

  While in Cork I had the opportunity to visit Smyths, the largest chain of toy stores in Ireland. The LEGO aisle was absolutely fantastic: it had virtually every set that's currently available all neatly and tidily organised on the shelves, and there were even some pretty decent discounts on older sets. It put Toys R Us to shame. So if you're in Ireland, lucky you!
