  1. 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...

  2. 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 )

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!!!!

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  19. Are you referring to Rossmann? Their local store here had Poe's X-Wing reduced to 65€. Amongst the Nexo Knights sets there were already reducedsets, too (e.g. 70314). So all those will probably retire this year?

  20. Depending on supply maybe more than $20. They will sell BIg Ben for many years. These will be available for 15 days. Maybe.

  24. Disney fans tend to be hard core. This will sell well. I'll be buying one for my personal collection. I have to. I dated Cinderella. HAHA. Seriously though. I really dated Cinderella in college. I worked at WDW while in college as a toy solider in the Electric Light Parade. Dated Cinderella for a year and a half. My wife hates this story. But the set is beautiful and will sell great even at the high price point in my opinion. If you can afford to take a family of 4 on a Disney vacation for 3-4 days you can afford this set. It's a single day's admission for a small family for one day.

  26. I was going to say, I didn't see any other themes. Got two Jets at the Maple Valley location, and two skate parks and one hair salon at the Covington location. Covington still has two skate parks, and actually in their toy clearance section, which I left for others. Funniest thing I saw was one of their "warning" stickers on a $4.99 creator set. :-)

  29. We have built one and liked it (especially since you can break up and move around / between other mods)... Next PS we build will be a more challenging 'mirror build' which should be fun and add flexibility in town layout / design.

  30. I think this needs to be a massive set to interest people. Let's face it, most of the Modulars are wonderful sets, but they are losing their luster a bit. It's time to make a statement.

  31. I'm pretty sure there was what people speculated was the Dutchman in one of the pictures of the LEGO offices either in one of the designer videos or photos from something. It was sitting on a shelf in the distance, but was obviously not a pirate ship they had released. I'll see if I can find the photo later.

  32. Probably thinking of the Ideas set. They could just rip it off like GBHQ http://brickset.com/article/13727/flying-dutchman-reaches-10-000

  33. I would say the Dutchman is a highly likely chance seeing that Bloom is in the movie according to IMDB and he's the captain of it now and LEGO supposedly already had one designed.

  34. For anyone that's having this problem, I volunteer to let you display your items at my house as a "permanent loan." I'll even spend 5 minutes making a sign that says "Courtesy of" in case you're worried I won't give you credit.

  38. Well...I finally found all the pieces...a couple off color but still looks amazing I think. It took my son and I 7 hours with 3 slight rebuilds until we got the balance right. Yes, it is tricky getting it to stand! Let me know what you all think. #legodad

  40. My boy built the MTT yesterday. We had to put our beloved husky down on friday, and he was very upset, so I went into my "investment stash" and pulled out an MTT to help ease his mind a bit as he grieved. He whipped it together in a few hours. Not bad for a soon to be 6 year old.
