March 9, 201411 yr What's yours? Mine is a toss up between the Sandcrawler or the AT-AT. I'm sure as more sets are announced that will change. I know alot of you aren't fans of remakes but LEGO seems to have outdone themselves this year once again.
March 9, 201411 yr I wish the Sandcrawler grabbed me but it just isn't that being said I'll probably get a few in 2015-16. I'm really looking forward to Benny's spaceship. I had a bunch of those sets as a kid and I'm looking at it as my personal UCS even though it isn't a actual UCS. I also like Ghostbusters and that Curiosity Rover.
March 9, 201411 yr Ecto-1 for sure. It looks so great! Way better than the DeLorean IMO. Minifigures look fantastic too. Only way for it to be better would be if it ended up including a slimer. Definitely a builder for me.
March 9, 201411 yr Too many sets to list...I like most of the Super Heroes stuff. I do anticipate a huge credit card bill in April
March 9, 201411 yr I think by now we have seen everything that either has or will come out with the exception of the year's usual entry for the Winter Village and perhaps a couple of unknown odd bits but far as my own personal most anticipated set of 2014 as in "There is no waiting. I must have this!" is, well, I'll just give you a single clue. "He slimed me...." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_pR6mUYtOo
March 9, 201411 yr Since I build with my Daughters (4 &7) and their friends, Sunshine Ranch and Minstorm is all they talk about, besides the new trains and how the will change them ( more Princess blue, Yellow and Pink). Me myself I like the Ghostbusters, but I think I might make a few board games. Setters of Catan, Carcassonne, Alhambra, 7 wonders, and I think King of Tokyo would be fun in Lego's.
March 9, 201411 yr 1. Ecto-1 2. spaceship spaceship SPACESHIP ! 3. The biggest Hobbit set to come (I'm curious) 4. 75054 AT-AT (seems really cool) 5. newly released Creator 31018 (green chopper) ... and a steamboat (yes I dream awake )
March 9, 201411 yr Hmmm, Ghostbusters and also the Sandcrawler. I did have the original but sadly sold it.
March 9, 201411 yr Whatever Hobbit set has Smaug... Please let it be a brick-built Smaug, and not something like one of the dragons from the Castle Theme!
March 9, 201411 yr I'm still going with Ecto 1 followed closely by spaceship spaceship SPACESHIP! (I really hope it says that on the box). This may be blasphemy, but I'm getting a little sick of all the Star Wars sets. Yes they're nice, but from a creative standpoint I think having such a large focus on Star Wars is taking away from some of the other lines.
March 9, 201411 yr Simpsons was mine for this year. Is there going to be a USC Slave 1? That would be my most wanted now.
March 9, 201411 yr Sandcrawler, but I'm really not particularly impressed by this year's current lineup. We'll see later in the year if I change my mind...
March 9, 201411 yr Already got my favorite as well - Sea Cow. I still can't believe how awesome it is.
March 9, 201411 yr Already got my favorite as well - Sea Cow. I still can't believe how awesome it is. That's an extremely impressive set. Not my kind of thing, since I collect very specific themes and sets, but I assume that a lot of people will agree with your statement.
March 9, 201411 yr That's an extremely impressive set. Not my kind of thing, since I collect very specific themes and sets, but I assume that a lot of people will agree with your statement. A good percentage of AFOL's like Lego for the "model" aspect of it, so I can see why most large exclusives are designed to depict realistic buildings, vehicles, etc. Let's face it - Lego has essentially replaced model kit building for many adult (and kid) hobbyists. This is a big reason I like the Sea Cow set. As much as I love the realistic models, Sea Cow is such a creative departure from reality models. It also is the first large scale model to incorporate a Steampunk element. That said, I can see how a good chunk of large set collectors may not be into The Sea Cow since it's not a realistic depiction of anything, a completely understandable and legitimate opinion.
March 9, 201411 yr Mine is probably the Parisian Restaurant still. I think it was available Jan 1, so I'm counting it for 2014. I'm sure I will grab it during double points. Right below that is the whole Sandcrawler/AT-AT/Cantina/Imperial Destroyer sets. Ecto-1 is there as well and the upcoming Star Wars UCS whatever it ends up being. The fall Hobbit sets will be "must gets" when they come out as well.
March 9, 201411 yr It's early in the year so many things could still be yet to be announced. At this stage from a personal collection point of view I'm underwhelmed. With no certainty on an LotR wave 3 there will be a big hole in my personal buying if it doesn't happen. I gave up collecting all but my favorite display model type Star Wars sets a while ago. The Sandcrawler may make the list, but I'm not sure yet. The Simpson CMF line will get a full buy from me as well.
March 10, 201411 yr Right now I would say the new sandcrawler unless something else new in the modular gets announced perhaps. Have they ever talked about a police station in the modular series? That would be #1 for me! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Brickpicker mobile app
