Mascot posted:"Exclusive" does mean that it's only available directly from LEGO...either from shop.lego.com or at a physical LEGO store. Usually. I bought it off lego.com and built it already. Its pretty plain but it makes a nice showpiece and has the sweet Maersk Blue parts. Its also drat huge. As for the hair on Duke, I got from it the Agents Goldtooth Getaway set. It also had the gold "handgun". When I saw that set I knew what I had to do.

I knew there was a reason I should buy that set... but I kept glossing over it, lam. And that haz-mat guy should be the new Alien Conquest theme so I can actually buy more than one

Pzykotic posted:I really want this thing because it's loving AWESOME: It's a very nice set. I posted about this a little while ago, but that's the 4th release of the thing. It used to be $75. Despite the price, I had a discount coming at my local Lego Store, so I picked one up for $80. I just built it the other day and it's a really fun build.

I'm looking to buy myself a new Lego set soon. Would you guys recommend the Grand Emporium, Fire Brigade or a bunch of small sets? Also do you guys know any place selling modular buildings for a little bit cheaper?

those modular buildings are as cheap as your gonna find *baring coupon/sale/ebay score* and will only increase in value as they are retired. I found set 6454 at my local thrift store, 100% complete, the sound/light box still worked. best 6 bucks yet.

Ahh well I guess the free 2 day shipping and no tax on Amazon is worth it then. I keep falling into a vicious cycle where I want the next big thing once I have enough spare money though. It all started with just a Lunar Limo, and next thing you know I'll want the Imperial Flagship.

Speaking of which, you guys think the Lunar Limo is still in stores? I've decided I can no longer not have one, and friggin' Amazon won't send it to Canada. But I don't want to have to drag my rear end all around town looking for one if they've already left most stores.

Still sold in Toys R Us, just saw them today. 10 dollars more expensive than Amazon though.

Dammit, I've done it again. I went to Walmart to see if they had some of the Sterlite storage bins I wanted to put in my shelves (they didn't), and I noticed they still had a substantial amount of toys in their clearance aisle. They had a couple Galactic Enforcers for a measly $8 off...but 7 Midi-scale Star Destroyers for $19 apiece (half MSRP). I argued in my head a bit, but the rational side got beaten down by the Lego side and I bought 5 of 'em. My life will be never-ending sorting.

I can't justify buying multiples, but it was a pretty fun set. I like the binoculars for cannons.

Serious question, does the set include any funky awesome bricks? Speaking of Wal-Mart, I saw them wheeling away a cart of Lego clearance and managed to snag a Prince of Persia 7571 marked down to $20. It rang up $14.50. They had the big one marked down to $60, but I couldn't get my hands on it to check if it would ring up lower too

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ook37byOOmk If you can get past this guy's voice, one minute in are some knock-off Lego Transformers that appear to actually work. Pretty cool I guess, but as with most things like this, AFOLs have been there, done that.  (I imagine this was posted in the thread when it was first shown, but whatever.)

Another easy one to add to the game figures: The only tricky part is the legs (have no idea how to do shorts and high boots with lego, may have to use black legs) and the ponytail doesn't work with the backpack

Got my kid this red dragon Creator kit for Christmas, she's having loads of fun posing him in different positions ('Look mom, 'Stayin' Alive! Now he's a puppy begging for food!') She's mad for dragons right now, so I'm going to get this Ninjago kit (2260 Ice Dragon Attack) and squirrel it away for her birthday. And yes, he shoots the ball out of his mouth:    THIS Atlantis kit (7978 Angler Attack) is gonna be for ME! Sadly, his eyes do not light up but I'm sure we can work that out:   The little Creature From the Black Lagoon minifig sidekick is a scream.  edit: Crap, did I do that to the thread title?!

That shuttle design looks very familiar(not from Star Wars) and its bugging the poo poo out of me where I saw it before. Also that set is a bit too pricey for what it is. I'll probably grab it on a sale.

I couldn't help but notice just how messed up the pricing structure is for these new SW sets. 7930 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship 389 pieces, 4 figs, $49.99 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle 389 pieces, 4 figs, $59.99

Just wanted to say I love this thread and it was what convinced me last summer to rescue all my LEGOs from my parents house. I ended up with a huge tub of pieces from all kinds of sets. I still haven't finished sorting it all out. I decided to go by color and then sort by piece from that point, but it's just such a insane task. I'll eventually finish it and then hopefully make some stuff! I did build the star wars set with the death star attack planning thing, with the hanger bay with the A-Wing since my wife got that for me for christmas. It's an ok set but I kind of wish I had asked for the endor bunker set now. Also the wife has a job at TRU now as well so I get a discount woop woop!

I'll probably grab it on a sale. That's what I thought too. I was convinced it was a fan-model of something... maybe a videogame. For some reason I picture it crash-landing in a swamp. The angler fish is really cool. I've been trying to get a collection of cool animals and I'm working on finding some dinosaurs from the ~2001 Adventures and JP3 sets. May have to grab that fish.

Those helmets look awesome, and I'm really warming up to the baby blue combat fatigues. I'm definitely dropping a few paychecks into those sets. I am going to be playing tabletop X-Com Lego for the rest of my days.
