    So I take it that the minifigure itself is going to become really valuable now isn't it? Or they'll find some other way to distribute the minifigure.

    Dammit! Here I was just a pay day away from buying more Legos, and anticipating a Martian landing.

    Maybe this will convince Lego there is a demand for more super hero minifigs. :p

    The Clone lt. from last October lasted till the last day I think? And then I ended up seeing it again on other sites like FAO, TRU, get it free with a $50 or $75 purchase, which is how I got my 2nd one.

    With this being gone in just 11 days, I'm not sure if it will show up again. The $14 BIN on ebay seems like a deal now.

    They should really make more of the Green Lantern minifig from the movie. That way we could re-enact the scene of him paired with Superman in the Lord Business evil lair set.

    I just found it on sale so I returned the first one ( hadn't opened it yet ). I now got it for $79 Aud ( ~$70 USD ) so I ended up with a good price :) 

    In the mean time we bought 31012 Creator Family House and have been building it. I paid $75 Aud ( not bad ), I really like the yellow colour of light from the light brick. It casts a warm glow over the inside and makes a much greater sense of realism to the inner space.

    I liked that house, but the tiny-ness of the bedroom and no bathroom was disappointing.

    I just got the cloud cuckoo land set, took about 1 and a half-2 hours to build, and it looks quite nice. I used some spare unikitty leg parts to join the launcher to the main cloud-thing.

    one the one hand, unikittys head keeps falling off. on the other hand,
    Snail.

    I got the family house for my daughter for Xmas it was hard to find then (yeah i started looking late) i love the set but the small addition of the light brick makes it even more amazing.
