  1. Just built the fountain promo. Dropped it in front of the theater with the benches across the street next to the firehouse. Just need to finish the pavement.

  2. If you are trying to catch up on the books, you might want to check out Barnes & Noble. They have the new SW Chronicles of the Force for $11.56 (same as Amazon). DC SH is $13.66, though. SW Character encyclopedia is $13.94 (Amazon is $13.67). If you get over $50 in books, coupon code BNJUNE30 will subtract 20%. The coupon code will increase to 25% at $100 and 30% at $150. Now if you want to get super kick-ass, it would appear that the coupon code is doing some funny things... LEGO sets are excluded from the discount. No surprise there. Nor do they raise the purchase amount used to determine the discount level (i.e. $50 in books and $100 in LEGO set gives you the 20% discount, not 25%). But it appears you can get the discount to apply to your total order, including LEGO sets, with some careful sequencing (I didn't complete checkout to see if it actually carries through). If you work quantities in your cart, it will disqualify the promo code. I suggest channeling the zen required to hunt for SYW discounts online if you are trying to get this to work. To get it to the images below, I did the following. 1. Add the book to my cart 2. Go to cart and increase quantity to 5. (Raise the cart about the $50 for the promo code) 3. Enter the promo code. See about $10 in discount in the cart and indication that promo code BNJUNE30 was applied. 4. Add LEGO set to cart. See the discount increase commensurately. 5. Change quantities and the discount goes poof. Drop the LEGO sets, leaving only the books, and the discount still cannot be applied to order. You might need to clear history or go Incognito to make it work.

  6. The iconic Ferrari F40 with a working gearbox and headlights. I think the hood has room for improvement but overall it is a beautiful model by jorgeopesi. At some point I will be adding the Ferrari sticker emblems to the hood and side of the car.

  11. This is a massive deal for us in the UK. Don't underestimate how crazy our economy could go in the short and long term. You will be wise to look at the exchange rates in the next few weeks I'm so glad that we've left the EU. We are out! This is big

  14. So 100% true story. Han Solo fans may appreciate it. Back in 2012 when I got married, my sister was dating/living with some scrawny LA actor who my groomsmen had fun ribbing. Apparently he had some big "blockbuster" called Beautiful Creatures coming up he was gonna be the "next big thing" from. Alden something, I didn't really pay attention other than he was the dude my sister had been dating a few years, he seemed like an artsy dweeb who took himself way too seriously for my tastes. Beautiful Creatures flopped a few months later, and he went into a 3-month depression where he barely left his bed. My sister left his pouty ass. Turns out scrawny Alden (Ehrenreich) was cast as the new Han Solo just recently here. My sister has since married some other guy. But the moral of the story: Hans f***ing Solo was at my wedding. I've got pictures of and with Hans Solo at my wedding. Top that!

  16. I think it's the EU who's backed into a corner, 350 million a week out of pocket and a list of countries screaming for their own referendum, the writings on the wall. Democracy over dictatorship.

  21. I have all (the cc and gg were bricklinked so I have a few substitutions) the modulars except market street and I'm building them in order to see the progression first hand. I stopped after the ps for a while because I was building one a week and didn't want to be disappointed when there were no more left to build. I'm currently working on the town hall after a year long break and the building is slow. My kids are at a stage where they need more from us so less time to build. Elsa and Anna seem to enjoy the elevator though and are currently stuck (my daughter's storyline)

  23. My 11 year old daughter loves the modular sets. (I'm so glad she moved on from the Friends line!) We have every set from GG on but I have personally only built GG Wifey built PR and I helped her finish it off. Daughter built all the rest except TH as that is the last one to build for our city. Between mine and the boys Star Wars sets and the modular and city sets, we are slowly losing our basement to Lego tables. We have 5 with 2 more getting purchased this weekend. The only problem with a wife and a bunch of kids who love Lego is that I don't always get to build the cool sets.

  24. Target online and on eBay seems to have 21014 Villa Savoye available for $64.93 (roughly 7% off). Not sure how many available or if it is a fluke, as it is a retired product... http://www.target.com/p/lego-architecture-villa-savoye-21014/-/A-14068274 http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Architecture-Villa-Savoye-21014-/282037831985?hash=item41aac3c931:g:hEoAAOxyBXNSUlK7

  25. It depends on the performance of the pound. If it weakens further then that´s great for UK sellers and we will be flooded with Tumblers for less than RRP. If it strengthens, they will have a harder time selling but will buy more from abroad. The customs tariffs factor with EU countries may take years to negotiate.

  30. Those are probably the people who didn't vote and stumble through life reading crappy magazines about Kim Kardshian's bum and never reading/watching the news. Someone's probably told them that something important has happened and they've googled it on their iPhone 17 whilst having their nails done. Please do us the courtesy of not implicating the likes of myself in this. I knew exactly what I was voting for and so did a majority of others. That's just lazy journalism from some news agency thousands of miles away.

  32. 2015-2016 UK population increased by 500,000 and same time frame built about 140k permanent dwellings. This has been going on for years. I’m a top 5% income earner and if I tried afford to buy the house I bought just 5 years ago I couldn’t and it’s very modest house built 80 years ago for a working class family to live in. Wages in some areas are suppressed to the extent people are earning the same wage as 2002, with parts of the UK being in deep recession since 2008. Lost decade, the region i grow up in, is entering it's third. The working poor in the country have been abandoned by the political process and yesterday they were given the opportunity to give the political elites a bloody nose. They did. It was naive to think they wouldn’t. As for describing former working class Labour voters who have moved to voting for a populist nationalist party as "old hat conservatives", simply demonstrates your lack of understanding in the change in the political landscape. The Tories in the North and North East are considered toxic.

Re: 21014 Villa Savoye... if you're still in the market for these, I see plenty at my local B&N's and BAM's... can usually be had for 10-20% off with the right membership, gift cards, etc. (Photo from Concord,NC BAM on 06/03/16)
