A huge box of Lego arrived today! I bought it online, then had it shipped through my aunt in California. Alright! Now, let me revel in my indulgence...
King's Castle Seige ($100) - Notice how this box is opened and kinda bent? That's because it wouldn't fit in the balikbayan box, so my aunt had to set loose the contents and fold this box.
Skeleton Castle ($50) - A counterpoint for the King's Castle.
Exo-force Golden Tower ($32) - From their anime-style line, I had to get this one because it has a character named Hitomi that dual wields a pair of golden katana.
Exo-force Assault Tiger and Chameleon Hunter ($15 each) - Who doesn't like mecha? ...Well, a bunch of people apparently, since this line will be gone next year. Actually, I just hope they replace it with a better space/mecha line in the future.
Star Wars X-Wing ($50) - Iconic Vehicle, most of the main characters from the original trilogy... nice set. It's noticably smaller than the other $50 sets, though... you pay dearly for that Star Wars lisence.
Star Wars Imperial Dropship ($10 each) - Basically, this is for building an army of stormtroopers. Let me tell you how overpriced LEGO is in the Philippines: This is sold at a local SRP of 1,500php... and it gets sold out.
Cargo Copter ($20) - From the Creator line, another multi-builder for Pat to play with. It has a motorized winch!
Duplo 15"x15" Baseplate ($15) - Something for Tesla! It's a good focus for her playing with her regular bricks. Also we got two Lego 10"x10" green baseplates for $5 each, but I seem to have misplaced the pic.
Doctor and Patient ($3) - A couple, for populating Pat's Creator house. We're not really interested in the City line, so we just got minifigs.
Brick Separators ($1.6 each) - A pair of newfangled devices for separating those tricky bricks. I'll tell you how that works out.
Mercedes Lackey Books ($24 for the 4) - One of Pat's favorite authors. May contain gay.
Wayne Barlowe Artbooks ($35) - Hellish illustrations from Dante's Inferno, by Wayne Barlowe. For Ruben.
Total damage: Including a balikbayan box cost of $40, some additional US taxes and shipping, and it adds up to 22k php. Whoa, indeed! Note that we would have paid almost twice as much for the Lego, had we bought it locally... No regrets! ^_^
