It is rumored that they are giving track with it instead of the piece heavy brick built track from the ideas submission. Another explanation is if it has power functions, but I find that unlikely.

I built the new land rover classic defender. It's a cool little build, but I'm not used to the tiny cars after building the new speed champions.

It just irks me that the mega minifig hat brim doesn’t match the minifig version at all.

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
About halfway through the new Markets set, taking it a bit slower than usual. I don't do a lot of technic stuff, so the mechanisms on the top half of the gondola were mostly new to me, and both a tad frustrating and very cool once they were done.

I had to take down Barracuda Bay and Apocalypseburg to be able to fit it on the shelf with the other three Ninjago modulars. :/

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
With the specific piece they've used for the dome of the cap it basically needs that extra support around the back or else it doesn't fit.

You could design a bald head for it though, or some hair.

Today is day 8 of my order still not being shipped. Very strange. Last month they seemed to have their stuff together. Someone mentioned getting their order within a couple days of ordering. My last order I think I got 5 days after ordering. And I'm on day 8 and it hasn't left the warehouse.

I would have thought so too until the Hogwarts Express came out.

I think that was more it being oversized and gently caress ugly in all red though.

Some real monkey paw poo poo that they made a GWR Hall class and I don't want it.

Very interested to see the official build for the Orient Express though.

It did not. It was too wide and came on a single straight of brick built track

Think I might go for daily bugle during double points, that would get me completely up to date on all available modulars

I might have just ordered a Police Station.

Mrs Clarence likes the look of the World Map. It's only available from lego.com and John Lewis here. Wasn't sure about the latter, so went and had a look, only to find out that there is a 20% discount on it there (and I can get 4% John Lewis discounts through work on top).

So don't assume that the double VIP points event is necessarily the best way to get hold of something.

I'm not sure what I would want from Zelda Lego. It's either a simplified playset with minifigs, which I'm not really interested in. Or a bigger set of like the deku tree or temple of time or Hyrule castle or something. A brick built hylian shield and master sword would be neat though.

Not after seeing that awful captain america shield.

Also, for the people saying they want to buy the mustang. Even if you get double vip, which is 10% back at a later date, just search offerup, facebook, craigslist and ebay. You should be able to get it for $125 or so. Right now you can easily get it for $135 on ebay, which is 20% off right now.

Unless a set is LEGO exclusive, you should pretty much never buy it from them as prices are better elsewhere.
