Steve is too modest to post this himself, but being on the front page of Lego.com is something to toot your horn about!

Collectible Figs News
Those still looking for some of Collectible Minifigs (series 2) there were three nearly full boxes @ London Drugs (downtown) last night. The boxes had been de-Spartaned but seemed to have a good selection of the other figs.
For those looking forward to the next series, Brickset has a scan from a Japanese Chinese flyer/catalogue with all the series 3 characters including the much anticipated elf.
Sad News
Dan Jezek, the creator of Bricklink, has passed away.
The message from the family assures everyone the site will continue to provide the crucial service it has since it was created.
Aaron’s Dragonfly
Once a again our very own Aaron has been featured on the Brothers Brick Blog. They are fast. I saw it there before I saw it on my Flickr feed.
I have started to lose count how many times his creations have been featured. Well done!

Train Show over, BrickCon ahead
Thanks to everyone who made this year’s train show a success. Each year we have been getting a little better and despite some last minute challenges it all came together.
This is the start of our busy season; for several members it is on to BrickCon in Seattle next weekend. If you happen to be in Seattle (or know someone who is) stop by the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall Saturday or Sunday to see what 400+ LEGO fans can put together.
Train Show just ahead
Everyone is frantically building for the Model Railway Show this Sunday @ Cedar Hill Rec.
There are always last-minute challenges but we hope to have something you will enjoy again this year. Of special note is James’ rail bridge inspired by Victoria’s Johnson Street Bridge which has been in the news this year.
Come see us from 10 – 4 and help support Support Santas Anonymous.
