Biggest Lego Set Ever
Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon

By Shaun Hatton - February 2nd, 2010

Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon

While visiting lego.com for research/work purposes I came across this amazing set and was frozen in my tracks like a tauntaun outdoors on a Hoth night.

The Lego Millennium Falcon is made from over 5000 pieces and when built spans nearly three feet in length. It’s not just the best Lego Star Wars set, it’s the biggest Lego set, period. At $499.99 US, it also seems to be one of the pricier sets ever. Ouch!

Still, what good geek wouldn’t adore building this over the course of a weekend only to have it break apart in transit? Oh, the irony! If it makes your purchasing decision any easier, the set comes with minifigs of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia. ROWR!

Bargain Alert
Action Figure Sale at Stadium Comics

By Shaun Hatton - November 16th, 2009

The Joker

If you’re looking to build up your action figure collection, pay attention! This Wednesday, November 18, our friends at Sidekick Comics are holding an action figure sale at their retail location, Stadium Comics. Selected figures that are regularly priced up to $21.99 will be on sale for just $9.99 – and these aren’t just the toys you see on regular store shelves, either. Their selection also includes a number of figures based on game franchises like Halo, Gears of War, and God of War.

Of particular note is the 1:6 scale figure of The Joker from The Dark Knight, shown above. Stadium will be selling these for $59.99 rather than the standard price of $99.99. The DC Direct line of 1:6 scale figures must be seen in person to be appreciated. I bought one of Batman for a friend years ago and the craftsmanship is simply amazing.

Stadium Comics is located in Shoppers World in Brampton. You can call them at 905-451-3751 for more information about this sale or if you have any other comics-related questions.
