Our countdown clock:

I kind of built the Mini Cooper... This one has been a long time coming. I had to make a number of substitutions since the parts don't exist in orange - mostly on the ass end. The boot lid looks better in person than in pictures. Yes, it's left hand drive with a rear spoiler and the antennae at the back. I'm missing two black 1x2 2/3 slopes for mirrors. Source material is parked out in the garage.

It shouldn't be too much longer now. It looks like they're putting the finishing touches on it now.

today i went to a Walmart i had never been to before in Manchester CT - i had to take my car in for service near by and the app said there were some $40 Kylo Ren shuttles and some 50% off minecraft. Get to the toy section - not seeing any clearance though the minecraft sets are loaded but unmarked so i snag a couple Nether Fortress and Desert Outposts for 50% off. I ask the toy dept manager/clerk guy if there is a clearance section with LEGO he points me in a general direction - walk over towards the clearance sign walk around the corner and run into a load of 50% off $15 Architecture sets ("little" Big Ben, Berlin, Venice, and Lincoln Memorial) - so I did the quick double take and then swiped the shelf into my cart and hightailed it out of there . i've never seen architecture in a walmart before much less on a clearance aisle. it was a good day.

No, he signed up for this. Now the pic needs to include a newspaper as well to make sure it's legit.

I've been selling $20 battle packs for a while now. LEGO is just behind the curve.

Me: "I got you some thing" Handing her CMF 16 pack Wife: "It's the Banana Guy!" Me: "How'd you know" Wife: "I felt his banana"

Eventually, LEGO will lose its STAR WARS license to LEPIN and all the sets will increase in value.

Finished up the Pet Shop. Fun build. Nothing really special to warrant it being alive still. Time to put this old dog to rest. But I enjoyed the build. Here is a pic of the build and one with my GE. It's actually looking like some building is happening. But I'm going to sell off the PS. Just wanted to give it a build. On to TH next!

Not quite sure where to put these but my big guy turned 6 a couple weeks ago. This is what he would look like as a lego minifig. Artwork done by a friend of my mother's who used to do stuff like this for parties and what not...she's since retired but doesn't mind doing it for her friends.

@dcdfan not enough minifigures to make everyone happy. This should do the trick: and with 30,000 pieces, it should be big enough.

Do you think Jeff Bezos is smooshing them all?

A $500 cash sale is still better than $580 shipped on eBay.

Higher LEGO retail prices are great for investors with stockpiles of retired sets. They raise the bar on pricing, and over time, can give the illusion that even overpriced items (on retired sets) are cheap.

New pic every day, please.

As long as the countdown ends like this i am down with it.

Rumor has it.....double VIP points this weekend (5th-7th). hope it's not just a rumor...

I just had this weird vision of Alpine in pasties???

$510 shipped for a complete Lego Simpsons set : NISB Simpsons House NISB Kwik E Mart Complete series 1 and series 2 Simpsons CMF In a very nice Lego custom display case. All 3 Simpsons Dimension sets.. $51 back in eBay bucks. ..

41999 LE Crawler. Was in my "dark ages" until few months back so missed my opportunity to get this set. I've always been a fan of Technic RC sets and this one just looked amazing. I actually bought the porsche set aswell but decided to sell it after seeing its reviews and when I realised you could not add any power functions to it.

But does it come with a brick separator?

And this is exactly why people are destined to be disappointed. "the best set of all time" is setting the bar awfully high.

I'd be bored too with all the $$$$ in my bank account .

Uh oh. I may not have thought this thing through. Going to do my best. My 4 year old isn't happy that I stole his Death Star for this effort.

That would be cool if they had multiple builds. Time to round up the gang.

I thought for sure you were getting a rush order at Staples for a cardboard standee cutout. Oh well, maybe for the next UCS set.

What do you mean too high? It's $#$#$#$ gone. You may run like Hayes. but you hit like EXciter1!

In for 3

used black pearl (complete) € 20

I'll just start now by saying, I hate it.

@Cladner Pretty soon you're going to need your own thread called, "What lego set did you NOT buy today"

Got bored, I drew this on Paint.

I missed out on a sealed one for $375 on CL a couple weeks ago, bc it was the day I bought the Tumbler, a GE, a Av Tower, and Quinjet for $400 and my wife would have straight stabbed me, it was gone by morning. Kicking myself ever since. So, if any panickers want to give one up for $375 shipped, I'm your man. The box could be trashed for all I care.

It is for 3 packs at least since 7/23, per this Q/A portion of the listing. This should be interesting to watch

Yep, shows as shipped/sold by Amazon.

He tried back in the 1980s when Snowspeeders first appeared in ESB. Nobody gave a damn though

I agree. I would not expect a large departure from a proven formula on such a big investment by TLG. I am expecting the minifigs and play features to be fantastic and a nice upgrade. The majority of the build however is probably going to be awfully familiar. Most importantly it will give TLG the confidence to give us our most desired UCS at the $600 - $800 price points in the future. Baby steps.

Buck Rogers called, he wants his fighter back.

Yeah, it would make sense the other way around. However, this was taken from a 3d model that was in a video that just showed the functionality of the ship. So, maybe it will be extended when it goes through atmosphere.

I'm just going to self moderate right now.

HAHAHAHHAHA You're my favorite Brickpicker again. To contribute my favorite from that movie.... "Too high! Too high!"

No one Drinks Jo-Boo's rum.. .. HAHAHAHAHA. We need a live chicken too!!

Not sure if it is a faux pas to bring up other sites, but there is an extensive discussion on Bricklinking the first three modulars, to include possible substitute pieces for less expense, as well as pictures of modified modulars. I have found it to be an invaluable resource: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90358

You know those comments saying don't post leaked photos until they are officially announced, guess who they were aimed at.
