Finished the cinema expansion. I tried a number of different looks but expanding on the original looks best. The only thing that bothers me is the screen is too small. I may add Apu's garden to the roof at some point but he will need some way to get up there.

Read the first post on the thread. Skip next 15 pages. Read last post (this one) You now have all known information.

I finally got round to building the GE. Not the most exciting of builds, but the finished product does look good. Still have another used one bagged and ready to go so I can do the double.

My son used a gift card that he got for his bday to buy and build 75142 Homing Spider Droid. The Yoda minifig put him over the edge bc he didn't have one. Not a bad little set.

Use it for firestarter when burning Lepin sets

I really want this to be a typo - $149.99 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Volcano-Heavy-lift-Helicopter-60125?fromListing=listing

I keep wanting to bug the orthopedics guys at work to borrow the fluoroscopy machine (it's like a real time X-Ray scanner hooked to a TV monitor). I'm convinced you'd be able to see all the details inside the bags in an instant. WHAMO!

Disney CMF is so June. Series 16 is the new hotness.

Fine, call it a statement. Why would LEGO made a statement to give people hope of future availability and not deliver ?

Disagree. S@H said to check back in late fall. Why would they promise something they cannot deliver?

My money is on all three are in there

I totally agree based on history. I predicted that for the Sandcrawler, Sail Barge and ISD before the refreshes were made public after seeing what happened with the original 7778 batcave which was night and day better than it's replacement. Now for refreshed sets like the original Batcave and Sail Barge, their values did slowly appreciate again but it took time. plus their appreciation rate wasn't now where like before. based on history, even original sets that were much better than their refreshes didn't rebound quickly. ISD, Sandcrawler, Batcave, many batmobiles, the original sopwith camel, etc... took a while for values to stop decreasing, stabilize and appreciate.

BTW, thanks for all this people. This just reminds me I still have to get that box sorted. Is it just me or does it seem that these pieces in these bags are getting tinier and near impossible to decipher. Is that a gem or a head?

in Idaho, every time I drop off or pickup from the storage unit

I only analyse the market. There are very large supplies of 10188. If 75159 is a close and improved version of 10188 then that takes away the vast majority of customers in the market for 10188. Not many are going to choose an outdated 10188 if 75159 is basically the same set with highly detailed figs and improved build. It will also encourage the quick dumping of 10188 which is going to cause a very fast spiral downward in prices. Most resellers will be happy with break even or small loss rather than holding stock for 5+ years hoping for an eventual rebound. There are some collectors who must have every set of a certain theme but I don't think there are enough of them to absorb the mass exodus early on. If 75159 is not up to par with 10188 then you can be sure 10188 is going to the moon and I will be along for that ride as well.

It's not printed......its just a series of really small stickers that you have to line up perfectly.

It's got a few quirks still but it works better on mobile devices. That said, the design wasn't the problem most encounter with the site. Responsive or not, if they can't handle the load, continue to mix and match out of stock messages and throw around retiring soon tags like its candy it'll be the same old experience.

Thanks for this. Didn't look back far enough to find it. Also, I will ensure I include a number if I start a thread in future. Cheers

We have one, I'll merge them.

Town Hall price continues to rise nicely - last 2 sales on ebay in the last 3 days were $595 and $592. ebay is a little ahead of amazon guessing because of international exposure on ebay. get with the program amazon sellers - bump your price up $30. under 100 sellers on amazon so we should see some nice price appreciation coming up.

Don't know where to put this, but it does mainly apply to Star Wars. I wish in future UCS sets, they include duplicate sticker sheets. It can be frustrating building a $300+ set, nervously applying stickers, knowing if it gets messed up, you have no extras.

T. rex tracker has joined the backorder club.

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 )

I can finally make that custom Niko fig!

This is the first rumor i've seen related to the January 1st winter wave of 2017. Sounds like a Yoda's Hut, the UCS Snowspeeder, and a new round of microfighters series 4, and a few Rogue One battlepacks are on the way.. It sounds like the following could happen. 75144 UCS Snowspeeder Yoda's Hutt 75160 (rebel pilot), 75161 (tie pilot), 75162 (rebel pilot), 75163 (Imperial Officer) 75164 Rogue One Rebel Battle Pack 75165 Rogue One Imperial Battle Pack 75166 Set with R2D2, and Yoda 75169 (possible landspeeder or could be Tusken Raider Attack themed set) has Luke, Obi-Wan, 3PO, and Tusken Raider 75170 (rebels set with Chopper, Kanan, Thrawn) 75171 Rogue One set with 3 minis (AT-AT's might be safe for a while!) 75272 Rebels set 75173 (sounds like a jedi final duel type set) with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Maul 75174 Desert Skiff with Han, Chewie, Fett, Weequay 75179 Set with Lando, Rebel Pilot, Crewman http://www.bouwsteentjes.info/gerucht-eerste-details-van-de-lego-star-wars-2017-sets/

I'm on chat with Amazon trying to recover my payment for Prime when it hasn't been 30 days yet. I joined on the 13th and then they charged me for a year on the 17th. Amazon, you said free for 30 days not 4 days...

Mind Blown!

Hmm, isn't the Purge a good thing for people holding this set for the long haul ???

My guess is @jaylay is hoarding 90% of Disney CMF packs that were allocated to his area

FWIW, Disney has been putting the screws to the X-Men franchise a couple of different ways. http://www.businessinsider.com/its-astonishing-how-far-disney-is-going-to-bury-the-x-men-2015-4 I don't know if we're going to get many more X-Men LEGO sets for awhile.

I was just thinking. They say check back with them late fall. Let me finish they're paragraph. ... When we officially announce its retired.

over 9000

I just went to my local TRU and saw an almost-full box of Disney CMF alongside a decimated box of Series 16

Neat way to incorporate The Simpsons line in your city.

U DA MAN! I do appreciate your quick response. Now I just need to double check that there are 3 instruction books without breaking the sealed bag. Thanks again marcandre

I did see it at TRU. The other interesting thing is that on LEGO Shop at Home, it is in the "Online Only" category along with some other sets. For example, Rha's al Ghul and Doctor Strange and the Tanker Truck Takedown.

Is that a new shade of light grey on the top?

Something something lipstick on a pig. Dress it up however you want, but Greg is correct.

really comparing to other large city sets (arctic bc, mine, deep see boat, shuttle, demo site), the ppp is fair. I think the real problem is the pictures do not make it look like a $150, 1277 piece set. especially since we have seen so many $40-50 helicopter sets recently (including 60123).... it looks too much like all the other sets in the pictures to stand out as a $150, but if you really look it much larger and more detailed than the other sets.

Just in case you haven't heard, there is a fundraising charity raffle taking place over on Bricksetforum. Prize list is pretty awesome, reminding me of the BP 2015 raffle. Check the posts at the end for donation details. http://bricksetforum.com/discussion/24121/4-days-to-go-charity-fundraiser/p1 (And of course, if this post is deemed inappropriate or we don't want to clutter DD with everybody's fundraising, I will not be offended if the Mods delete or move. I figured at this point the prize pool has grown large enough this isn't any old fundraiser.)

Found some at one of my local Targets today (Alameda, CA) and smooshed three banana guys and two penguin suits.

Psst. Check this out:

Over the last 3 days. About 6 walmarts. I am done....or single. Whatever happens first

I'm still smooshing them. I'm getting way too old for this. I may need to start cutting the bags open.

Finally finished my inventory build of 10212. Only had to substitute 4 pieces and I have to buy a few more to finish the landing gear.

I'll get out the measuring tape........
