that's odd that was in July's wave. Course they like to stagger them throughout the country now. Next wave is below. Few others like Turtle and another one I can't remember at moment. More of the recirculation of poly's already available other places but a few neat ones. Santa should be B&N / Target again like last few years.4 points

"The Joker Steamroller is the new hot toy for this Christmas season. The number of popular Batman Characters and its relatively cheap price combine with an excellent batwing to make a set that every boy will love."3 points

Well, I sold all four of my Gingerbread Houses on Amazon FBA for $709. Missed my goal of paying for the MiLF with free Lego, but close!3 points

I'm calling this as the precursor to a Fairgrounds Rollercoaster set in 2018.3 points

I could totally imagine a medieval monster hunter type theme. Old school Castlevania atmosphere, paladins, dark knights, powerful wizards, clerics and adventurers hunting vampires, werewolves, gorgons and other beasts. One thing was sure for LEGO in recent years: people dig monsters, and a theme like this could be more relatable to people than nexotrash.3 points

A vanilla Castle theme was tried a couple years ago and met with nigh moderate approval altogether. I would imagine something about the concept and general feel behind Nexo Knights and Ninjago have been received well enough to continue forward. Genre mixing has and continues being popular in all forms. Why be stuck under the confines of a strict rule set (aka reality) when a realm of unlimited potential can be born from one's imaginative mind's eye. If anything that is the LEGO Company's core concept and perhaps what attributes to such themes ongoing popularity. Also the level of technology helps these themes to be more relatable with the targeted audience of the present day world.3 points

I tried to find a good .gif for "selling out the back door", but most of the hits returned were of Farrah Abraham. Not the back door I was looking for...2 points

While the design is based on the structure in the movie, this also feels inspired by or at the least similar to that one humongous Joker's Funhouse MOC from a while back. Hopefully those new coaster track pieces are a good indicator of what we can expect to see from LEGO's fairground theme and perhaps some other sets as well.2 points

Not Modular, but I like it, I'm not normally for halfsies on the buildings. Everyone loves the Joker and a fun Playset to boot. Rollercoaster! http://nerdist.com/lego-batman-set-joker-wayne-manor/2 points

I'm pleasantly surprised by this set. Plus, this gives me hope for a Creator Fairground roller coaster (to go with the Ferris Wheel, Carousel and Fairground Mixer) in 2018. Especially since it looks like they have some new elements....the purple coaster track and lime green roller coaster train.2 points

It was sold by Amazon, LLC, and came from an Amazon warehouse. The only other one I've gotten from Amazon came in the LEGO carton, which was fine because it is a very sturdy box. The two I got from SAH were also shipped in the LEGO carton but inside a shipping box as well. I've never seen Amazon ship LEGO without a shipping box before, so this was a nasty surprise.2 points

After getting one from Amazon without a box, I sent it Back. "Whenever I order one now I call Amazon up and tell them I want it sent in a box, and the last 3 have come in one of those perfect Lego Boxes and all were mint, So if you get one on Amazon call them up right away and them them. Here is the shortcut phone number. 1-866-216-10722 points

By watered down I meant there are just too many sets. I believe there are 18 sets not counting CMFs, polybags, and this new Joker Manor. This is on top of any super hero Batman sets out now. They are all good sets for the most part but with so many it's tough for one or two to stand out. Where is the investment winner in this line? I thought the target set had a chance but it's hanging around too long. Jurassic World had 5-6 sets? Most have been winners. I know that's not a lego movie but 18+ sets is Star Wars territory. Lego Batman ain't Star Wars.1 point

Very nice. I like it. Does look a bit fragile. The roller coaster is very neat...would be great if it can be motorised but doubt so.1 point

Thanks for all the advice. I have complained to Amazon both about the packaging (There was none!!!) and about the order. They are offering me a 30% refund if I keep it. I think I will keep it and build it. I'll still be snagging as many as I can get. Normally I'm a QFLL'ing fool looking for cash flow, but this is one set I'm buying and holding. I'm certain even a "used" version of this set built for display will appreciate just fine and with the buy-in price I'll end up with, I'll get well over what I paid for it if I ever decide to sell it after it retires to the secondary market. (This of course is the problem with being a fan first and investor second - one can always talk oneself into opening a box!).1 point

Got an offer of €90 cash for 75052 (Mos Eisley Cantina). That's original (Dutch) RRP for this set, while my buy-in was €56. Was expecting a bit more love for this set, considering the unique max-fig (Dewback) but oh well. Freeing the money for new purchases is also good.1 point

just because it's in production doesn't mean it will be easy to acquire in bulk. it's been in production 4 months already. demand is no where near met and that can't even offer any to sell. definitely that's more than 10% of its life has passed by if you were to say that the set was going to stick around for 38 months which would be a long production life. how many more 10%'s before you start to get worried that you hadn't been stocking quite possibly the coolest lego set of all time for afol? also if you read between the lines, emazer's is hoarding saturn's to the point that he's on the phone with amazon telling jeff how he'd like things done.1 point

man, I kid you not, my son and I tore apart the Carolinas the past 2 weekends looking for those and struck out big time. i then read this post, so we head over to our closest target, and lo and behold, the Jackson storm, Hudson hornet, and fabulous lightning McQueen, taco, cigalert, and jack depost were all there! thank you for the heads up, otherwise i probably wouldn't have tried today.1 point

Here's the really important question, am I going to get my green mech dragon poly bag? I made a total rookie mistake and didn't order a key chain or anything to get my freebie to ship.1 point

I use this video to motivate my kids. No matter how high and mighty you become in the galaxy, repeated failure (losing 2 Death Stars, forgetting about security cameras when wiping out your academy, not taking the high ground, consistently delegating to morons, etc...) will drag you back down to reality.1 point
