Good shopping run! I went for the Disney Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell, quite a nice looking larger Disney set and on the list for retirement end of this year. It has double VIP points and was reduced 20% over here in the Netherlands. In order to get to the 200 EUR treshold for the GWP I also picked up the BTS Dynamite set, also going in retirement end of year and right now reduced 30% so IMO great buy. Last set was a smaller LEGO exclusive build called Caroussel Ride, also 20% off and only sold at LEGO official stores over here.

The current Mercedes Speed champion set with the big black vehicle is an interesting build. Doesn't use the standard base that modern speed champions come with because it's so big. Well worth getting for the variety of build techniques alone. I was thinking about going to Lego store Liverpool yesterday until I woke up and heard my local Merseyrail station was flooded and bus replacements would be in operation. Might have to make a visit on Saturday especially if that new batman brick headz is out.

Thanks Matt. Yes, the Monkie Kid range seems to go under a lot of people's radars. I'm hoping that it will also be popular with buyers in the future. Ah yes, I've learnt not to get too hyped up by England football (especially as I am used to losing as a longly tormented Sheffield United fan) - to be fair, Spain were far the better team. Hopefully team GB will do well at the upcoming Paris Olympics
