(Mind you, I didn't pick anything else up either because the prices just weren't enough of a discount - the Sopwith Camel was $110 before local sales tax).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-10320562580547811662012-07-01T14:18:39.756+01:002012-07-01T14:18:39.756+01:00:-)

I will however probably wait until Amazon start to discount them before diving in in earnest.drdavewatfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046583913458496903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-13094437644275253812012-07-01T13:50:36.501+01:002012-07-01T13:50:36.501+01:00I loved MF the first time I saw them in the pics f...I loved MF the first time I saw them in the pics from the toy fair and have all the main sets (waiting on The Zombies to show in the US, and of course for the Haunted House, plus the Ghost & Renfield polybags)... in fact I have 4 Swamp Creature sets... or is it 5? Aside from the printing on the minifigs this is actually the first set to have olive green minifig hips... Dino introduced a bunch of pieces and this year's version of Nute Gunray was the first with olive hands & head (also The Monster from the Mad Scientist MF set (aka Frankenstein). For my money this is the ultimate kitsch fest in terms of lego sets and the whole backstory is a lot of fun. If you get a chance to go on the MF website ( http://monsterfighters.lego.com/ i think) it's a ton of fun. For a great 2nd round at a very reasonable MSRP grab the Werewolf set, Fun build on both sides and great figures, plus the Dino rifle with the clip with the fez & telescope is awesome. Reminds me I've been planning a little MOC with the CMF S7 Little Red Riding Hood. My advice, good doctor, is join forces with Dr. Rodney Rathbone, Maj. Quinton Steele, Frank Rock, Jack McHammer & Ann Leemurphquakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855269706267258693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-795049240604897581.post-87236752789287870672012-06-30T18:58:13.177+01:002012-06-30T18:58:13.177+01:00I for one like Monster Fighters' weirdness.

All I can think of when I see Time Cruisers is that LEGO must have been allowing designers to use drugs.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939803742186691492noreply@blogger.com
