No idea. I needed the winter train station and I got the order just to $100 by adding two power functions items for the fairground mixer.

E: if that goes on sale in December, why isn't it on the December calendar?

No idea but all the hobbyist sites list it as 12/1 even as recently as a few days ago... so... maybe?

Looks cool. Only thing that sets off my fake alarm is that the faces are more detailed, and modulars usually have minifigs with basic faces, right?

This is my guess too. Except aren't they usually based off existing MOCs? I can't find any evidence of that diner already existing. Cool looking build though.

It's using pieces that have leaked in other 2018 sets but are brand new so it's probably legit.

It's not in their Xmas catalog, either. I don't know where people got this 12/1 info. OTOH, it's not a major set and they tend to not give release dates for normal stuff. Who knows. Also, I see some places say 12/1. Others say 2018.

Could be released in different countries at different times. Hence the mixed up dates.

I’ve sometimes had luck getting early sets in the Lego store in December, as well. Last few years we’ve gotten some Batman sets early in the US, UK seems to get Star Wars sets a bit early.

Edit: Helicarrier officially retiring, according to the U.K. shop at home. Sold out on US, but still on amazon right now.

If you were on the fence about the Cinema modular, it's $105 on amazon right now with free shipping.

Now to tidy it up with a bricklink order. A quick glance suggests $20 to get the stuff I want in the right colors. :v:

Mostly around the engine, getting some of that stuff in light grey is kinda hard.

Can confirm, I just saw it in a Shanghai store yesterday and in Hong Kong last week! I was tempted to pick it up but China prices are absolutely insane. I'm talking $100usd+ for smaller sets like the quadjumper. Hong Kong was pretty decent pricing though and a lot of Lego resellers sell for some insanely low prices (Technic Porsche for about $140).

It will be, but probably not by a ton. Right now the old batcave is 25% off. And they have been trying to clear those out for a long time. I think it has been 20% off for a few months. If it ever hits 50% AND I see it before it is gone 5 minutes later I will grab it.

That's the thing some people have said. I didn't get the mailing they did. Brick bank is going on sale for 20% off in almost every other country, so I'm hoping both go on sale.

I'd be happy if it hit the 30% off that it did on Amazon, but that may be wishful thinking.
