The puddles of Squishee leaking from the machine  The house set seemed really lame but I could conceivably see myself buying this one in some alternate universe where I have much more disposable income.

All that stuff in the coolers is actual stuff with a clear window not just a sticker. That's awesome.

 And here is Series II of the Simpsons figures. Personally I don't like the Simpsons stuff, but I can appreciate how well done lots of these guys are. I wasn't expecting Hans Moleman.

Well, I'm definitely sold on the Kwik-E-Mart now. I quite like the minifigure selection too, might grab a couple of those and then hit up a reseller for specific ones if I don't get them. I really want that Santa's Little Helper.

Interesting that they seem to be selling the Simpsons sets like the modular buildings. One each year. Makes sense I guess, at the price point they are going for. Not sure what would be next though. Moes probably has the most distinctive interior, but it's a bar so it may be out. Power plant and the school both seem too large. Maybe Krusty Burger?

There was a rumor that it will be Android's Dungeon, but it's so far away it's hard to give that much more credence than mere speculation.

I want the Stonecutters. And Stampy. Sure, two things that I don't think have been in more than one episode, but they're totally my favourite Simpsons things.

I really hope that the next Simpsons minifigure series is Treehouse of Horror themed. Devil Flanders and Donut head Homer, Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl. Alien Maggie, it would work so well!

I could maybe see a Nuclear Plant set working if the exterior was a scaled-down version of the nuclear plant, and when it opened up playset-style, the interior was a minifig-scale detailed set of Homer's office, which features quite regularly on the show. Could have Homer, Lenny, Carl, Mr. Burns, and Smithers minifigs, plus an inanimate carbon rod or two.

I might buy it and turn it into an English style convenience store with a flat above it. Not really interested in The Simpsons.

If this is wrong I don't want to be right. After almost two weeks of checking for Target clearance to go from 30% to 50% off it finally did. Didn't get the X-Men set but did score everything else I wanted and some extra for a couple friends. With that I think my ridiculous clearance Lego hunt is over for now. 50+ sets, nearly everything 50% off or more. Twice driving 2+ hrs and hitting a bunch of rural stores. Here's today's haul. Got the entire run of Ultra Agents! Can't wait to build these!

I probably won't be getting any Simpsons stuff, but that is an extremely cool set. There's so much detail and so many little references in there. Is the frozen old guy just a sticker or what though? I can't really tell. Seems like it would have been better to use a minifig there. So, Unrelated, but does anyone know roughly how much longer the Slave 1 UCS will be around at retail price or how long it will be in production?

I keep looking at that Spider-Man set on clearance, but all I want out of it is Luke Cage and Mary Jane, I should just bricklink them I guess.

So I finally took the plunge and bought my first big adult Lego set. I picked the Tumbler, and holy crap it's huge. Considering my biggest set before this was the Creator Highway Transporter, this is some step up. The downside is that I am now not allowed any more Lego until Christmas. I think it's a fair compromise.

Yeah, I told myself when I bought Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! that I wasn't gonna get anymore legos. Every lego movie set, countless others, and several thousand dollars later... turns out I was wrong.

Well after 5 straight days of repairing my modulars, I got everything sorted out and rebuilt. Distressingly, one piece (one of the gray 1x4s with pegs on the ends for connecting each floor) is totally missing, and I've GAINED a single 1x1 brown brick. I can't find the missing piece nor where the brown brick is supposed to fit. Are transmuting bricks an issue I need to watch out for?

The only thing that is really a bummer about buying lego sets lately is fighting the urge to just pull them all apart and see what I can make while I'm watching netflix. I really don't want to mix them up, so I think the most the nerd in me will let me do is pull apart one set at a time and repurpose it. Even then, what if I like what I made better than the original set? I'll just end up pulling it apart after a bit to rebuild it... I really have to get a little bucket of random bricks so all these star wars sets don't eventually end up mixed up in a big bin together.

I got a nice bonus at work today so I picked up 42022 (the technic hotrod) I don't usually get into technic, but I can honestly say I've never had so much fun building a set. All the details, including the working pistons and the drop top, had me wondering what the Christ I was building while I was doing it, and when it all came together I was like a kid on Christmas. I love cars, so I think I'm gonna go on a technic binge soon. My wallet hates money in it anyway.
