The rebel speeder bike set and the stormtroopers look like they could be Battlefront tie-ins since they've got jet packs and the red stormtrooper officer.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
The Duck Hunt set is pretty unexpected.

Also I need all those Mixels. All of them.

Those mixels look a) fun and b) like a good source for odd parts if you need them.

How much are those things? I never bothered with them.

They're $5 each and get released in 3 sets of 3 colors at a time. 6 series so far, so 54 Mixels.
Some of them are pretty boring designs, but occasionally there are some pretty creative ones or ones with good parts beyond the mini ball joints.

Someone on the LEGO reddit posted that the Tower of Orthanc is back on the site! (Out of stock, but with a shipping date and orderable). Just got that, double VIP points, and the Christmas Train! Pretty pumped for it.

Just picked up the Detective Agency for the double VIP points. I love the modulars but between the lack of display space here, and the lack of time to build them, I'm basically just buying them to put in a closet.

Has anyone else picked up the Lego Dimensions video game?

My kids are loving it, but it's been a bit strange, they picked up a few of the extra packs, and the extra packs have been missing pieces. Homer's car was missing 3 of the rubber sections of his wheels, and batmobile was missing one wheel altogether. It doesn't make a difference to the game, and we have so many bloody lego tires already I am not worried about them missing, but still kinda sucks.

We gave my father-in-law the Lego hummingbird as a gift. He is a super smart guy who can fix anything and has a ton of tools, but when the model fell off the counter and broke into a dozen pieces, he just had no idea how to put it back together again. I got mad props for putting it back together in 30 seconds.

Nice! Question for you - does your order say 'Backordered' on the 'Order Status' page? Now that it's switched to 'Available Now' on the Shop site, my order status is still sitting at 'Backordered'.

Ten years ago I was able to legally buy cigarettes. Thirty years ago I didn't exist yet. It's kind of a big difference between the two.
