I've got the last generation Cantina expanded as part of my generic desert planet scene, and damnit I want the bartender. Also an other sand-trooper is always a bonus. This and for the above reasons of generic sand planet, the sand-speeder seem to be the only two SW sets I care about this wave. Others are quite meh. e- and jawa battlepack. Love me some more jawas.

Yup same. Although, I also want Yodas hut. Should be a pretty cheap year for Lego SW for me. I love my Tatooine shelf. I'd probably have started adding non tatooine stuff at this point and made it a general desert planet, but I'm out of space. I think I can find room for a little bit of Cantina and some Jawas though. I really would like to spice it up eventually with some built up base plates and a background.

I finally got around to building Spaceship x3. It's much larger than I anticipated. Looks great. No idea where to put it. Might have to go back in the box.

Davros1 posted:I wish they'd do a sarlacc that was an actual pit instead of just the "beak" Yeah. It'd be nice if they made a proper looking sarlacc pit. I'd imagine it would be hard to do without making the set prohibitively expensive though unless it was just a facade, which I'd be cool with.

She literally doesn’t know about Assembly Square and I think she will make me free up a shelf in the garage for it. I seriously love the modular idea and wish I had caught on sooner. But we do not have the space and the Mrs does not want them where they can be seen. Aforementioned rich uncle was in the process of buying the UCS Falcon and the Mrs waved him off because it was too big. Maybe I need to turn Palace Cinema into war of the roses Lego style to commemorate the coming battle.

Mrs Onion is "fine" with Lego displays, but only gives me the top of the bookshelf to work with. It's just deep enough for the non-UCS TIE fighter, and you can barely see things like the ECTO-1.

If she combined all three I would be vetoing the baking. Got the Charazard Mega Construx for X-mas. It's a good set, but it is the first time in a while I've gotten a set and been like "Oh, it's that small?" after I was was done.

The missus and I have a mutual understanding. Lego Tower Bridge, big Ben, London Bus and architecture Buckingham palace in the living room on display, as well as a display case full of random stuff. But the London sets are prominently displayed on a wall shelves, on top of the display case and on a shelf behind the dining table respectively. If Lego ever do a London Eye, we'll need a bigger flat. Visitor's love those sets, even if they are not just to lego.

My wife likes Lego more than I do and lemme tell ya it's mostly awesome but it also means we buy way too much of it. Not the past few years though we kinda slowed down when we moved.

Just a note to anyone who wants the full set: look on ebay. You can get the full set for below retail pretty easily. One guy offered it to me at $72. And after more sellers have them, the price will drop into the 60s. As long as you are patient and don't mind waiting a couple weeks.

The bank, pool hall, and diner are all things I really want to get next. It’s going to be an interesting 2018. Especially because where I life people don’t have basements. Have the Vader transformation, police station, and Cinema to do this week. Going to be FUN!

Sabine, The Phantom and The Ghost more than make up for a pretty lackluster SW Advent calendar. The Y-wing and Rey's speeder were rad too tho! Oh and the R1 stuff.... maybe it wasn't such a let down afterall. The exclusive is tho - the Santa BB8 :/

Yeah BB8 was not good. It doesn't even wear the hat well. Even the random christmas tree droid from a few years ago that was just one of the doors and snowman r2d2 had more flair.

I got to go through all three of the calendars - city, friends, and Star Wars for each of my kids. Lego city was hands down the best. Great detail, lots of minifigs, and coherent Christmas theme. Lego Star Wars was good, but the Christmas felt shoehorned in. Except for a snowblower and Santa BB-8 on a snowboard, there was not really anything christmasy. Still, a goodly amount of minifigs and lots of short bits. Lego friends was a serious letdown. Even for my girls, who love Lego friends, they both wanted to play with Lego city. There is only one minifig. One. How are you going to call it Lego friends, if it’s only one girl! There are a half dozen pets/animals, including a horse, but only one person. And all the props are just flavors of dresser with a wreath. Some nights there was the disappointment of getting only a single animal - nothing else. We had to start alternating my two girls between friends and city, because it was so boring - nobody wanted it. It did have Christmas spirit, but mostly into the form of snow and wreaths, with a tree. Pretty weak.
