Slave 1 completed and added to the UCS ship shelf.

I took a chance through a local FB virtual yardsale and picked up a lot for $200. She wouldn't budge on the price. The loose mixed lot has parts to 7261 CTT with beat up box, some random other older SW parts and minis. Plus various pieces from older HP, older City, Exo-Force and other parts from early mid 2000's era. I've picked about 2 dozen various figures so far with some mixed matched and loads of parts and accessories to go through. I'll probably just sell this off after cherry picking and picking out any non Lego stuff. Also in the lot is a open box sealed bags 8289 Technic Fire Truck and a open box sealed bags 10174 AT-ST. I gambled on these 2 hoping all the bags are there. Both Instruction are good along with a nice 10174 UCS sticker. These were literally thrown in a closet in 2007 with other toys stacked on top of them and never touched. Boxes are beat though. Now the hard part of confirming if both sets have all the bags..... That Hippogriff is $10....

Today's reveal

My wife couldn't wait to rip into the Castle. This is 4 bags and about 200 steps in.

Is anyone out in Billund Denmark? Because the sets are out! https://www.promobricks.de/lego-ninjago-movie-sets-im-legoland-billund-shop-erhaeltlich/36304

I went with the Rebel frigate for the personal collection. I'll take $66 for a $119 set to satisfy my LEGO Star Wars OCD habit.

I loaded some ? EU amazon prices are not as US ones are, maybe for xmas they will be I'll be waitin'

Yep, used $15 in points and get $15 back. Call me Even Steven...

You still would, but presumably @exciter1 used points to sweeten the deal.

It's sinking

I do! Hopefully this helps.

built the cindy carriage

41091 Mia's Roadster My daughter built the first micro build, then set this aside. Doesn't help that there's a castle to put together right now. I'm taking it for myself, lol. I plan on MOC'ing up some parade floats to go in front of the castle and this is perfect for Donald and Daisy to ride in.

I agree that there's been a heavy focus on London recently, but I think this set is different, and is going to suffer because of it. As an American, who's (regrettably) never been to London, I can easily recognize the bridge or Big Ben. They transcend. But this bus...I really question how it's going to do in the U.S. - not that selling well in the U.S. is the end-all-be-all, but I don't think TLG will find this to be a big seller over here. I've never owned any of the recent Creator vehicles (in real life), but I can appreciate the inherent artistry of the VW Bus, the Mini, the new Bug, and even the Ferrari. But this London bus...it's just not iconic enough or artistic enough to be of great interest personally. Perhaps it's memorable in a quirky sort of way, but to me it's not a whole lot different than a New York City taxi cab - and I don't want that set either. It's a specific vehicle germane to a specific city. And if they did make a NYC cab, I'd say that it will never sell well in Europe. I just think this set may be a bit too niche...but what the hell do I know? What I would vastly prefer is this set in purple, and then we would have our first Harry Potter UCS set!

the new one is on the way.

Been working on a UCS MOC for a while but decided to take a break and build Leia. Great little build with great techniques that allow for a number of poses. Will build similar scale R2 next to recreate that iconic scene in a new hope.

I'd probably dump the box and sell without. You'll save a butt load on shipping.

Guys (and moderators), you just raised from the dead a Canadian thread from 2014. That thread was as dead as Target Canada.

I'm not going to lie, those look fantastic, but I am a little more peeved that there will most likely be a gap in the numbering system as they continue this line because of these exclusives. They should've kept them like the other exclusives, and separate from the main line of brickheadz.

Just now sub-$13, but it's been bouncing around the 50% mark for a while. It's not lower than $17.99 anywhere else from what I can tell. Just curious because Amazon usually stays in lock-step with competition.

I think it's safe to say the next announcement may be those. Instead of 4 sets this year I bet they only do 2. I would assume it will be 2 DC characters. Make something along the lines of JL or whatever else is coming out soon for them.

I think the point is they are fudging exclusives into an existing collection. Exclusives such as SDCC mini builds, bat pod, space slug, Lester minifig etc are fine. The problem comes when you introduce a series you want people to collect, then make some of those highly exclusive. The box clearly states 15&16 so Lego are acknowledging these characters form part of a larger collection and given they are only available to purchase at RRP at 1 show in 1 country, it's not really on. I don't collect brickheads at all but can appreciate the frustration.

Auction in Chicago today 3-9pm details here - http://www.directauction.com/list.html

What? I'm already looking forward to 10264 Black Cab and 10270 Boris Bike. And don't forget mini figures series 20. The Cockneys. Including Chimney Sweep, Pearly King and Queen, Market Stall Seller, Beefeater and many more.

Yeh , local shop sales have been a little grim. Prices are reasonable, it's just the selection is a bit stale. Regular eBay 15% deals been ok though. Been buying the harder to find sets at pretty good discount, as the eBay codes work on worldwide purchases. Biggest gamble is, will my set survive a month in the mail?

No kidding. Boo hoo. It's an exclusive. It a reward for going to the Con. People have completely lost sight of that.

YMMV There is a free $10 points back for $35 purchase in my cart. No coupon needed

Because people actually want this lol. If this wasn't an exclusive there would be no value. I just paid 2,400 for one minifigure the other day to complete my SDCC collection. I don't mind because they only made 350. I for one like the sdcc exclusives. Never been personally...yet I have all the SW/marvel stuff from them. How is this possible?!?! If only there was a way to buy stuff on that internet. Oh well maybe in the future. Either collect them or don't. People on here I would assume would like the exclusive stuff.

City Ferry (60119) back to $13.41 @ Amazon if anyone's interested.

Is it just me but do others think that Lego have overdone the London/Uk themes over the past year? We've had Tower Bridge (which just won't die), Big Ben, mini London bus, caterham, London skyline, Buckingham palace and now we get a the Creator version of the London bus. This is not London bashing since I live in old London Town but there are many other places that they can get inspiration.

built the Grand Emporium

I'm not sure what you're referring to?

Plenty of good deals to be had this week thus far. But then I remembered...my budget. Stay strong, wallet.

Actually, there are more sets on sale today than there were yesterday.

Yeah apart from that the new LEGO Sets are getting more and more expensive e.g new Death Star is $800 which is a bit ridiculous I reckon.

@exciter1 ok now I understand your previous question about purple colour! @Dr Jedi I asked authorities from LEGO who gave me opportunity to see this model in real life the exact same thing. Who is going to buy this thing outside the UK because It's always a nice touch to see another new model within Creator Expert lineup but honestly I wasn't really blown away with the design and execution, that's why my initial review was rather gravitating towards calming the atmosphere down around this model. Well TLG is a big and well experienced (cough75098cough!) company and I'm more than sure they marketing team ballparked carefully potential demand before giving to this set a green light, I'm not the customer for this one but I'm sure there will be plenty of AFOLS right there jumping right away on the bandwagon to get the new interesting parts and the old parts in new colour. Most of them actually are mentioning about modding current design of the VW Beetle into the "Red" version.

I'm sorry, I'm not available to hang around BP's houses.

bought the Disney Castle 71040

My son and I finished this today:

Just finished Tower Bridge. Really enjoyed it and it just looks impressive once complete.

Great idea for a thread Ed!! I'm currently working on building the Imperial Flagship. I have been meaning to build this set for the past 2 years but other projects keep getting in the way, like the Christmas sets and train sets and the Haunted House. Anyhow I'm finally working on the Imperial Flagship. Can't wait to see it finished, and then build the QAR and BP to display next to it!
