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

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!

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.

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 :)

Site update Posted by Huw, May 26 2008 9:38AM
I don't know if it was done by a disgruntled former member or a robot, but Brickset was hacked twice over the weekend.
Consequently, to prevent further attack, the site is currently 'read-only': Reviews won't be saved, your collection can't be recorded and you can't rate reviews. If you attempt to, you'll see an error message. In addition I have taken the decision to remove news commenting for good. It is more trouble than it's worth.
My sincere apologies to genuine LEGO fans who used the site to spread useful news and comment. I am hoping to provide facilities in the future to enable you to contribute more easily to the news on the site.
This is a transient situation until I have rewritten the site to prevent attack, which won't be an overnight job but should be finished by the end of June. If you have any suggestions for improvement, use the contact form to let us know.
In the meantime, I'll continue to keep you updated on site progress and LEGO news, and please continue to click-through to LEGOshop.com via my links to show your support for the site.
Thanks
Huw
