ireladd posted:I threw in an order this morning, because even though it says "out of stock" they are accepting back orders, so I'm assuming there will be another batch added soon. Just got my 'Your LEGO Order has Shipped' email for the 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition V46 that I ordered when it was out of stock online. Currently has a non working FexEx tracking number. The mini mech figure that they threw in for my order was shipped separately and is already on its way.

Got home to the Fed Ex guy about to take my 41999 to the front office. The box looks super nice and feels like it's filled to the brim with parts. I'm pretty excited.

I haven't bought any Lego since The Milano last September. 75081 T-16 Skyhopper was a cool build and is larger than I expected Man another high profile sealed set in which I have to order a replacement part because somehow they didn't put enough in the bag This time I had to cannibalize a 4211536 from my Exo Suit in order to continue building this UCS Tie Fighter. Last time i had to take a gear from another technic set

What's with that guy's crazy blinking. Is he trying to communicate via his eyes in morse code? Either way the F40 is an instant buy for me, especially at a $90 MSRP for that many peices.

Seems like US is getting the all the leftover 2015 technics officially tomorrow including the 2H sets Now to debate over whether or not I really want the Arocs or the 24 Hours Race Car or the Crawler Crane. I'll probably pick up the fire plane and the street motorcycle for sure though.

Pyroclastic posted:The 'fixed' part is supposed to be the base hinge of the neck. The US versions apparently used parts from Mexico, and they weren't up to spec, so they couldn't support the weight of the head. AFAIK, Lego's said nothing about a fix for the head swivel. I should do a scan of the fan sites; someone's probably come up with a fix for that by now. http://chrismcveigh.com/lego_mod_guides_2015/wall-e_head_mount.pdf This is Mc Veigh's fix although it's more of a rebuild with how many additional parts you need.

So I happened to be in a mall that had a lego store in the same location as my client's office... JFC is that ghostbusters firehouse box huge. I ended up mulling around for like 5 minutes before pulling the trigger and walking out with it. (took 3 straps)

Most reports on the 24 hours car have been negative, with what I heard included some illegal or questionable build steps. Or maybe I'm just reading into people not liking the color/aero. I bought one and I'm currently working through the B-Set and it's been pretty good. I also think the B-Set looks much better than the lemans car. w00tazn fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Jun 1, 2016 |

I'm keenly interested in a trip report regarding the Super Star Destroyer. I'm willing to pay MSRP for an official one, but gently caress paying crazy amounts of markup for used sets. I already have plenty of official Lego to offset my guilt. The SSD is kind of a white whale for me.

Guess i will have to bricklink some replacements Man I still want an SSD. hinges don't seem like they're that expensive. Wonder if you just got unlucky with your vendor selection. Also every report I've read would've packed it in an unmarked box with lose bags and not your bubble wrapped messed.

How easy / hard / risky is it to order stuff from China? I've been debating this Super star destroyer more and more and any hurdles on the store front side may steer me away from it.

That RC tracked car is screaming for a tank modification. I have enough motorized technic sets from 2014+ that I could probably take some stuff apart and build a kickass tank with working turret aiming.

I build a lot of Technic and Lego seems to always forget to include a gear or something. Like I've had 4 sets where I had to stop or scavenge a gear from another set in order to finish while I waited for Lego to ship me one. Gears are important! Also they never include extras.

Waltzing Along posted:Mentioned last night that the set my gf is building was missing the stickers. Well it turns out it has an extra piece beyond the normal extra pieces. I mean an extra piece that doesn't even belong in the set. One of the dogs from the friends sets is in there. Very strange. Ideas sets don't have stickers. Pens and knicknacks are always things that lego ships extras for.. unless the parts manifest says 4 pens. The set itself is not the "house" but the camera stage where they film the show, dog is a production dog or some poo poo.
