Nope . just said it ain't called soccer and hung up .

Eurobricks forum member Just2Good has revealed that there will be a surprise addition to the summer LEGO Star Wars line up in the form of a Rebel Combat Frigate (set 75158). Supposedly it is based on the animated Rebels series and will include an Ahsoka Tano minifig.

Welcome! Your user name is awfully familiar to a certain Judge Dredd I've seen around these forums.....

21017 Imperial Hotel "Fun build" is not usually associated with the architecture line but the Imperial Hotel build was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and not too repetitive. I would have liked more architect information in the manual because I do not know as much about this set as I do for the other architecture sets.

If you wanted to be of the "Whoopty doo" class....then yes.

10228 prefers being an only child...

Oh my God. I am running a garage sale to sell this stuff off not buy more. Damn 20% off with the stack of a 15% off credit card. With a $5 reward and a couple other rewards. UUUUGGGHHHH. I can not go and buy more of this stuff at 30% discount (and who knows what I will find on clearance.) Can I not just have one weekend without temptation????

Reduces the shipping costs by quite a bit to buy more than 1. You also have to follow through to the end to see the price because the advertised price of £74.97 includes VAT (the European tax). When you enter a North American shipping address, VAT will be subtracted from the price. Then when you enter two, you will see your shipping costs only go up by a couple bucks making the cost per unit go down. There is usually a sweet spot on the # per order and depends on box size... For the Crawler Crane it must be two!

I'm sure someone will be able to get you a picture, but here's what I would suggest you tell them. "I appreciate your concern, but all large boxes such as the LEGO 10228 Haunted House are sealed using 2 tape seals on each end. This allows LEGO to seal boxes in a way that builders can open them without destroying the box. Only the smallest boxes use punch tabs for opening the boxes. Each tape seal has a code on it that shows the date it was packed at the LEGO factory. If you are not satisfied, you can return the sealed set for a full refund - at your own cost and minus the original shipping fee. A refund will not be issued until I receive the set and verify that it is in the condition I sent it." Then you wait... if they choose to send it back, great. Don't give them that refund until you have it in your hands.... and unfortunately you should now open it to verify the contents. Don't worry, it won't be worth any less open... maybe a couple bucks, but that's worth your peace of mind isn't it? If they open a case with eBay, just keep it honest. No name calling, cite your positive feedback all around, etc. Return Fraud is a real thing, but in reality it will help you very little here unless the buyer has had multiple complaints against them to their local police department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_fraud

I think you mean a double Hulker

And the Ideas Caterham! How could I forget that? This is going to be a good year for petrolheads who love LEGO. Hopefully this GT3RS is going to be the beginning of a series of "UCS Technic Supercars".

I think that is almost a definite at this point.

You bet! My wife likes the Gingerbread House and Mountain Hut. Kids already built Hulkbuster.

This would indeed cause a great disruption in the Force. Can you imagine what would happen if Lego released 500,00 arm-printed Boba Fett minifigures into the wild? UCS Slave 1 would take a decent-sized hit and there would be no reason to sell the figure separately. If Lego is going to license Star Wars, they'll probably get Marvel as well. The Lego superhero aftermarket is already in a world of hurt right now, but this would be the absolute death blow. No other line is more minifigure reliant than superheroes.

Don't Panic here is another set thats on the Lego wholesale order form for all of 2016.

Disney Infinity is being discontinued, as announced yesterday. What are your thoughts if Disney is still interested in having a share of the toys to life business and licenses Star Wars for LEGO Dimensions? I see this as having a very large impact on the Star Wars minifigure secondary market? Just throwing this out there...

I think you're walking too deep into the weeds, Jeff. You're arguing sub-points on sub-points without everybody understanding your broader position. Let me try to sum up your stance: OT was great all-around cinema. PT was conceptually great but poorly executed. TFA was conceptually un-original (but in my own words: pretty well executed). Most look at it from a cinematic perspective so OT > TFA >>>> PT. But you appreciate that Lucas aimed for Mars (despite his rocket exploding before it even left the atmosphere) whereas it disappointed you that Disney was content to return to the moon, so OT > PT > TFA. It's not an outrageous position like people are suggesting. Had Lucas been able to recruit other directors successfully (he tried) then I do think that the PT (same outline and all) could've been awesome (and better than TFA) for the reasons you've outlined.

Actually a Conservatory. A conservatory is a building or room having glass roofing and walls used as a greenhouse or a sunroom. If in a residence, it would typically be attached to the house on only one side. Conservatories originated in the 16th century when wealthy landowners sought to cultivate citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges that began to appear on their dinner tables brought by traders from warmer regions of the Mediterranean.

Anything over 42

Wow these people at Eurobricks are even nerdier than a lot of SW nerds here on BP

I'm not having any trouble finding these. I haven't been buying them, but they have been everywhere I have been lately.

Jet has them for $77.32 tax free and free shipping if you order two and waive the return. I've ordered in multiples of 2 and they shipped it in a unopened Lego carton.

At TRU, bought a Ultra Agents Ocean Headquarters 70173 for $77

Fresh set of Series 13 to smoosh at TRU on TRUTH day. 2 hot dogs and 2 unicorns. Plus a lone chicken guy. Series 13 for $2.81 ea Chicken for $4.20 ea And one last minty IST at Walmart for $49.

Yes, I put more faith in FiveThirtyEight. I'm guessing you don't read the NYT or follow American politics, so I'll fill you in on FiveThirtyEight's bona fides. The founder, Nate Silver, helped pioneer big data analytics in sports and politics. In 2012, he and his group correctly predicted the outcomes of all 50 states in the Presidential election, and he authored a NYT best seller that went on to be named the number 1 non-fiction book of 2012 by Amazon.com. That's not to say that there was as much thought put into this particular poll, but this type of polling is one of their areas of expertise. Rotten Tomatoes is useful, but not in a scientifically rigorous way. Their aggregate system is a dubious way to measure something like a film's "quality". In the FiveThirtyEight poll, people were asked specifically to pick the best movie out of the six, and only the responses from people who had seen all six movies were considered. The RT "study", on the other hand, was not a head-to-head comparison. The reviewers of one movie may not have even seen the others, or may not have submitted a review for the others. To further muddy the water, the RT "study" cherry-picked original release reviews. This is a questionable methodology because it ignores contextual biases. For example, Jedi may have been perceived as a disappointment because it directly followed A New Hope and Empire. Similarly, Eps I and II set the bar pretty low for Sith. On the other hand, one could argue that the prequels were such an unfamiliar departure from the OT that it artificially deflated their initial reception. These contextual biases make an objective comparison difficult, particularly when comparing reviews from two narrow and distinct time frames. Keep in mind that these reviews, assigned a number score, were written within the context of their respective contemporary summer blockbusters. Furthermore--even without consideration to those contextual biases--there are many films currently celebrated as classics that were dismissed by critics upon their debut, only to be rediscovered and re-appraised years later. Critics change their minds, films grow or diminish in stature, and this project ignores all of that to arrive at its conclusion. No study, poll, or person is completely free from biases, which is what allows this debate to continue on ad naseum. However, when trying to gauge consensus opinion among fans, the most appropriate type of poll is one which ranks the films relative to one another (i.e. head to head). I will say that this debate has been somewhat illuminating to me. I had no idea that there were people in the world who would argue for any of the PT over any of the OT. Even the attached IMDB results surprise me.

Thank you to Brick Picker Member Wolvergeek for coming to my garage sale today. His purchase has made my wife extremely happy. Thank you

I know. Thatswhy I add a miniset for EUR 8. So I am over eur 55. Even if I try to put there something expensive (GB HQ for example), there is no free shipping. The web site of LEGO Shop at Home is horrible. I dont understand, how such big company can have such shity web site with many bugs (for example, it is always switching to US site, if you are browsing more for something, this bug is there for years). Even small local eshops from my country has better web sites...

in for 32

Same here. Went through at £2.49 each. The question is flip or hold?

You would be surprised at how much they don't give a ...

Too bad them bastards won't ship to the US . Between the slug and this , Lego is getting me upset .

And Pet Shop, Ecto 1, GE, FB!

Flipped a 75055 I purchased from TRU for £105 2 weeks ago for £160 on eBay. They sent me a promo for £1 final value fee so about a £50 profit. Not bad for a 2 week hold.

Love love love the lava lake - wonderful color and texture.

If the director needed to revise too much of the scripts then it would mean the writing was not tight enough In any case, your dream scenario would have worked only had Lucas stayed with plotting and writing and NOTHING ELSE, no backseat directing, or editing, or SFX, or music composing

Snagged 2 so far at that price in IL.

Honestly this set should have been our $250-300 set. I mean the first thing most people do in Minecraft is of course build a small "acceptable" house to set up camp in, but once you start mining you have a ton of Cobbletsone. And what do you do with that Cobblestone? well you build a castle! I did it, my brothers did it, everyone i knew did it. Castles and Minecraft go hand in hand. A $250 castle set of some kind would have been way cooler than the Village. The Village is not something you create as a player, and in game it's really just something you sort of pass through and maybe pillage for it's resources and whatnot. And sure it's pretty cool in game when you come across them, but it's not something you take pride in like creating your own awesome castle to keep the baddies out. Hell i remember making a "draw bridge" of sorts that i could push a button and have all the creepers fall down into lava haha. So i could certainly see kids getting way more fun out of some kind of massive modular Minecraft castle. It wouldn't need to be %100 castle, it could have farm plots and other things in the courtyard or outside the walls. I sort of like this set, but i think it could have been larger. And if it were it would probably be a bigger success then the Village will likely be. Some official images have been posted for any interested BTW: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-minecraft-the-fortress-21127-official-images-revealed/

I still haven't seen any in stores around me. While these could always become easily available down the road, I don't remember any minifigure series that was this hard to get. So really all bets are off when it comes to this series.

I'm sure a lot of people will end up getting it when it's heavily discounted because they are completionists (for now) but that doesn't make it a success at all. A new, decent Star Wars UCS in the current climate should have done much better. It's not even in the top 25 in the UK anymore and has been consistently behind all other SW UCS sets and the MF since launch over here. I have tried my best to see the upsides to this "UCS" set but i just can't. I can't even work out what price point it would need to fall to for me to be interested. It's easy to use the word "Hater" like we are being irrational, but we're not. We're consumers, lego fans, star wars fans who have been let down by poor execution of what seemed like a sure fire winner when a Hoth UCS set was first rumoured. But according to some we should just sit down, shut up and buy whatever Lego puts in front of us regardless of quality and cost. If people don't speak up we'll end up with more crappy UCS sets and the completionists will stop feeling a need to complete.

HAHAHAHAHA Seriously right? Who cares about a kid Anakin. It was just one bumbling mess after another, and the kid was annoying enough as it is. I'm sorry, but Darth Vader in the original trilogy, never came off as a whiny little b****. He was a badass with obviously conflicting emotions near the end to see his son all grown up and resist the power to the dark side. You can feel the conflict within Vader to believe he could change as well. He was able to convey all of that without a single line of dialogue. On the other hand, we had to listen to Hayden Christianson tells us every single time something was wrong with him, as if the audience is too stupid to figure it out themselves. Not to mention that the two personalities period don't match up. And I see where you are going, but we do need ANH to set up the other stuff. Without the plans and ensuing plot to destroy the first death star, we wouldn't have any idea what these people were fighting for to begin with. Or what the deal with any of the conflict is going on. Plus the prequel trilogy ruins so many things outside of vader. They ruined the Jedi. They ruined the force. Etc. It was just pure garbage films, with crappy dialogue that no one in any universe would ever say. It's interesting that you are essentially saying the prequel trilogy is better than TFA, which is laughable in it's own right. And so what if they recycled plots? Disney didn't need to advertise it as a remake, because it's a sequel!!! It takes place 30 years later. It's on the same timeline as the original. It cannot by definition be a remake. They used a lot of similar devices, but it's to wash that nasty taste of the prequels out and remind everyone what star wars is about. And besides, the torch is being handed over to a bunch of new characters that are infinitely more interesting than any of the throwaway characters from the prequel trilogy. The bolded part has got to be the funniest thing written. The prequel trilogy is not anywhere NEAR the level of story writing that Game of Thrones is on. George R R Martin actually knows how to write a universe with compelling characters that you can truly root for. The prequel trilogy reads like a damn 5 year old wrote it. In fact the dialogue is just as clunky and unbelievable as 50 shades of grey. Pure garbage writing. With regards to Boba Fett. I'm glad he wasn't the main villain. Don't get me wrong, Fett is cool and all, but he does go down like an amateur in the movies. It didn't take much to foil his evil plots. Not exactly the scariest bounty hunter. And no, most people aren't upset with Lucas because he didn't 'remake' the OT. They are pissed because he gave us the abortion of a trilogy that is Episodes 1-3. Of course you can pick apart the movies for the Death Star and everything, but none of the movies were going to win any high awards for storytelling. It's the adventure it takes you on that's the key. TFA recaptures that feeling so well. There is a reason that people went back multiple times to see it. Even crappy movies can make a ton of money, but eventually people will get the hint, and it will disappear quickly.

I found some 50% off at meijer today plus if your familiar with meijer and have their mperks app there is another 20% off coupon you can use on top of the 50%. I used the self scanner register and it all came off automatically no over ride necessary.

Just putting a note out there that I am waiting on an updated data for the US from last month+. File was way too small to be accurate, that is what is holding up the price guide update. I will let you all know when I started processing it all.

Either way, someone will either have too many, or not enough. It will be fun to watch.

I stacked 3 TRU vouchers and bought this for £34 recently, I've been putting off buying it because I wasn't sure how good the finished product would be, but I have to say, best £34 I've spent on lego. Very under rated set. Surprisingly big for an RRP £70 and with a MOC stand it looks great displayed. If you haven't got this yet, pull the trigger. I've put it next to the huge Helicarrier to show scale
