I reconsidered, don't worry. I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons why I'm a monster.

Those new monster mini figures are great looking, looks like I need to get some additional rooms built on the Haunted House. I am already running out of room as it is with the current mini figure monsters, might need to pick up the Ghost Train some how to get some extra display space.

Surprisingly, the Ghost Train isn't too expensive yet. I see it occasionally selling for as low as $60, although the average is $90+. I'd say get it ASAP--the new minifig series might drive up the cost of the Train and Mansion.

So is the Mystery Machine actually out in stores yet? I saw some other Scooby Doo sets in a Toys R Us and a Lego Store, but neither seemed to have a spot on the shelf for the Mystery Machine.

My Target had one Mystery Machine left. They didn't have a complete set of characters, though; whatever set has Velma didn't have any space.

Target also had the new Friends line. Pop Star looked kinda meh, but the Hotel was like 1500 pieces for $120, so it's a decent deal. Lots of gold accent pieces, too.

Virtually nothing clearanced except some Melting Chambers and, strangely, Minecraft The End (the microbuilds) were half-off. I should've picked up a couple more for the Enderman prints.

All of the clearance prices seems to have vanished, even if the sets have not.

Looking at the set listing on Scooby, looks like the most expensive set is the only one with Velma. Lego knows who people want.

I got this set for $15 on clearance the year it was released, and it is an amazing set. The amount of articulation, and how it roles and unfolds automatically via rubber bands is amazing. Unlike any other set I know of.

I didn't realize that there is both online "Pick-a-Brick" and "Bricks & Pieces". They seem basically the same, except for having different pieces/colors available and different pricing. Very odd.

I have that set, pieced it back together with the help of Bricklink. Unfortunately, the rubbber bands do not work as well as they used to.

According to the customer phone line, pick a brick is "standard" pieces they offer whereas Bricks and Pieces is actually ALL the pieces you can order. I wanted to order two additional blue baseplates for my tower bridge (I need to cut them so it fits the wall mount) and did not find them so I called up and she explained the difference as I stated above. Hence why one is on the store page and the other under the "missing a piece" support section.
Why exactly they split it up :iiam:

While it might be partially fuelled by a lack of interest in the show, I kinda can't believe that it made it through Ideas. It feels like one of the most boring things you could do with a lego set. It's just a room with characters. :geno: At least the Ghostbusters car is an iconic vehicle with nostalgia attached to it, and Wall-E is an interesting/unique looking character.

The Big Bang set feels like you could switch up the figs and some props and it'd work with whatever sitcom you want it to.

Is the piece for Mr. Smithers a single 2x2 block or two 2x2s you have to stick together? He is the only one I am having trouble finding and the last one I need to complete the series.

McDragon

Oh no, Bricks and Pieces is amazing and I didn't need to know it existed. It has so much stuff.

Also I kind of liked the look of that Big Bang Theory set but not at that price.

e: ha, if you look up the collectable minifigure series number on Bricks and Pieces it (very politely) tells you to gently caress off

Two 2x2s and it is practically impossible for him to hold his prop as a result :smith:

OH NO!
Went to the Lego store today to buy my GF The Mystery Machine and somehow walked out with Hulkbuster, Utility Shuttle, and City Square too. I think I have a problem. Shuttle is a nice set if you want a fun little space set but don't want to pay the stupid amount they're charging for the Spaceport. It's basically a smaller version of that vehicle, minus the booster rocket.

Have the Blue Power Jet shown up at Target, TRU, WalMart etc or are they currently Lego store only? My local Walmart left a stack of planograms on the shelf where some clearance Lego Movie stuff used to be and I didn't see it anywhere.

Scooby-Doo stuff is sold out almost exclusively in a 50-mile radius around me. Luckily there's a Wal-Mart in my old college town about an hour out that somehow manages to always have "rare" sets in stock.

I am completely ambivalent to the show, but yeah agreed. I'd love it if they did a set of a show I liked with that many figures and that much detail in the environment, even if it was just a room. For a fan it looks like a great display set and I dig the diorama style.
