My daughter (almost five) built her first set by herself a couple weeks ago and is now insatiable. She built the sea scooter and pteranodon today and my son did his first whooshing oh and my daughter MOC'ed up the octopus a bit...

i watched one of my local walmarts on app and waited for prices to drop 50%. This morning I woke up checked again, prices slashed, so I raced there. 2 x Kylo Ren's shuttle @ $59 each 1 x tie fighter for $35 1x super heroes set and 1x Jurassic world at $9 each. Plus few sets for a local fellow brickpicker (couple ties, one JW and few micro fighters FO snow-speeders at $5 each )

Not trying one up you@Sfcommando14, but my 4 year old also built the Pteranodon set this week. I figured if you were sharing so would I.

Built the Hulkbuster

Past and present, interesting to see the wheels line up exactly. I don't collect Legos but I couldn't resist buying this after Wall-e brought me back. I'd love to rebuild the Super Car set from the F1 Racer Alternative design, but I no longer have all the missing pieces. :(. I do have the assembly book and the racer as shown tho. Very cool non the less. My observations; I wish there were two springs in the front on each side. The front doesn't have the same springyness to it and ends up being lower due to weight(?). I also wish you could see more of the engine. Also, does the shell remove like it did during assembly with the red pins after its all completed? I tried but it didn't seem meant to be.

This kind of sounds like "The Holiday Special" Death Star.

Unknown. Rumors were due to the Lego promotional slideshow at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last year, however there has been nothing else since, and no signs of him in any other rumors. So, I suspect if he is, it won't be known until after the reviews start trickling in. ----- Not sure how legit this is.....buit this is supposedly the Thrawn minifigure.

You can also find the images of the 5 sets and minifigures if you google "lego rogue one" and click on images. They have not officially been released, so no posting them here until then.

2 x 21102 Minecraft for $3/EA via letgo & had $10 in TRU rewards so smooshed my way to 4 banana guys.

Triple polybag build this morning. I like the balloon vendor the best. Bad day for the hot dog vendor as he was immediately fired for someone more suited to the job.

Yep, finished the new Falcon a few months back, my bro came to my house to meet me before leaving for a day out, I took it off the shelf to show him and it was like it magically pulled off a move from TFA on its own and just fell to the floor!! This thing is pretty fragile at the best of times, so when it hit the deck it was game over!! Ruined my day knowing it was on my office floor in bits!!!!

Sure, if you think parents will buy a $200+ set with 2 ships...

Just found this on a euro bricks thread might be a hybrid of both DS best of both worlds? Open fire on the Rebels with the UCS Death Star! This massive model has loads of great features, such as a spring loaded turbo laser, rotating turrets, a trash compactor, and meeting room! Close up the flaps for display, or open them to play

I just finished building this set and have to say it was a roller coaster of emotions. It began with a lot of the smaller booths, minifigures, and a small flatbed truck. All of which had very intriguing build mechanics but felt insignificant. I then built the large mixer truck which was a cool build, but nothing flashy. When i began building the trailer is when i started really getting intrigued. I couldn't figure out how it was incorporated with the mixer which was still to come. The fence build before the mixer put me off again as it seemed like another fiddly section.. However,.the mixer itself was FANTASTIC. It has so much flavor but yet so much simplicity. I ended up finishing the build and staring at all these random components and felt rather bleh about the whole thing...nothing really grand to look at. The mixer functions great and made me smile, but i was left with a bunch of mini components strewn about (not a big scene/play fan). Then I realized that I had more pages in the book, which showed how to pack everything on the trucks. At that moment I began to see the genius of everything i had built. (Yeah I was pretty clueless about what i was building). That being said from a creativity standpoint this set is by far the best i've seen. However, as someone who really doesn't intend on making a fair scene i would have preferred only having the mixer, truck and trailer and paying 70-80 dollars for it. I don't know how well the other miscellaneous fair booths would fair in its own set. My girlfriend built the ferris wheel while i built this and we both agreed that the fair ground mixer is a much better build but both of us would rather have and display the ferris wheel.

It's all good. I'm actually surprised. She built the juniors house by herself 2 weeks ago with only a few minor placement issues and keeps wanting to build more. She still needs help tightening and can have problems placing 1 row plates, but other than that she can do most of the build by herself. Tomorrow we might crack open a Raptor Rampage since whenever we watch the movie she tells me she is Claire. We're well over a dozen viewings and its on right now

Lego Dimensions Superman, Wicked Witch and the Ghostbusters Bill Murray pack. Yesterday, he built an Indiana Jones Temple Escape for me to verify completeness before listing it.

Nothing new

brickpedia says there will be an astromech droid called R3 M3 in this set. Apparently blue with clear dome although cannot verify 100% http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/R3-M3

You know the best packaging I have seen is from Apple. The way their boxes are all mint is they have cardboards to protect their corners of their packaging. Other companies that deal with collectibles need to learn from them.

After I had completed the VW Camper Van my Dad decided to pick it up by the roof to examine it. Anyone who has built it will know that was a bad idea.

Not quite a what did I build today, but I finally got to take my childhood Lego out of the attic and found these instructions, so will have to try this out. Instructions were a bit sparse back then.

You'll be fine.

I think most of us are losers. This theme is starting to rise significantly on Amazon right now.

I think they could have potential, but Lego sells the seasonal set for us, in regards to marketing. The seasonal set picture is in their catalogue and on the front page of their site. People know what to look for. How one could get the necessary exposure to sell lots could be the challenge I think.

I can finally make that custom Niko fig!

"Suited". I see what you did there

Hopefully this is in the set with the Tusken Raiders... A Bantha maxifig is a must!

evolution?

There are the 5 rogue one sets coming out in september. Until we see the movie it is hard to say what vehicles were not covered by those sets. This may not be the complete list. I'm guessing we get a couple of play sets that show more environment like they did with TFA sets. I guess these sets will cover the january and june 2017 releases. Then in september of 2017 we will probably get episode 8 sets. I think there will be a lot less rehashing of sets with a new movie every year. And when they do I think their focus will be on OT.

I finished out everything I needed for this set today. Got a complete set, plus three extra Mariachis and two extra Penguins. And an extra kick boxer and hiker so I could make a woman hiker for my friend that's about to hit the Pacific Coast Trail for a month.

That is great....well there should be a ship for this upcoming theme....if the rumor turns out to be true. Cannot wait.

If I remember correctly, it was a designer video for an Ideas set? I can sort of picture it in my head. I'm pretty sure there were some screen shots out there. Doubt that helps, but maybe?

My sister already volunteered her house so she has some sets on display for me but thanks!

LEGO is not THAT stupid. Why give away the goods for $3.99 each when they can sell 3 + a few bricks for $60 ????

Sounds like: we need a movie mini figure line! Just imagine... blind bags of differet bat-suits... fun fun Good luck smooshing through those...

I heard LEPIN is making knock off Lego DVD & Blu Ray also....(even comes with the free promo minigifure) But seriously, Joker's Pimp'n Lowrider was a great idea & has the style & mini figs to back it up to be a top seller.... We are ready for the movie in this house! Time to start saving now for all the new movie sets.

Love that you used the baby. The MF is larger than I imagined. Where will you put it?

After work me and my son had creator session with set 10698

A few years ago I bought a used 6285 Barracuda off Bricklink. I finally had time to clean the pieces and build this beautiful ship! The sails were in fantastic shape. This was my first LEGO ship that I've ever built and it was a fun, but sometimes challenging build. I must say, once you start assembling the masts and raising the sails, this ship really comes to life! I hope you enjoy the pics.

By the way, this is just the way it is. Many people will not pack properly (some people even try to pack things up so well that it causes damage). I always have open issues with damaged purchases (and I am always expecting a little bit of a surprise) - it is just going to happen. Sometimes things are better than expected, sometimes worse. But as long as you don't ignore it (or let it drive you crazy), it usually can be worked out.

Had to turn that Tumbler Alert off, My wife thinks I have a girlfriend.
