Any AFOL fans in the Pittsburgh area - or more importantly an AFOL fans in Pittsburgh have the lowdown on where one might procure some S6 Minifigs?

Merchant of Death posted:the power armor is the tripod of the year. alien conquests tripod was awesome for something so simple as is the power armor. I did this last Saturday and now it is sitting on my desk in the office. I will say it goes great with my mini figs, the Star Wars Advent Calendar ships and my Optimus Prime.

On another note, I got this as a late Christmas gift yesterday.  It's pretty neat but I wish there weren't so many drat stickers. Plus, there's not enough room in the cabin for the people. Still, it does actually float and it's a good place to store some extra minifigs.

7thBatallion posted:So what's the consensus on the Logo Architecture series? I'm tempted to pick up the Guggenheim Museum, or maybe 30 Rock as my frost LEGO set in over a decade... I have the Guggenheim, I agree with Travis343. It was a decent set and it looks nice but it's definitely overpriced. Same with the Space Needle and the Empire State Building. On the other hand, I don't feel this way about the Fallingwater and I can't recommend it enough. I think it's the smaller sets that are more overpriced. I bought the Gateway Of The Squid Atlantis set the other day at TJMaxx for $20. The huge squid hovering over the set is the coolest goddamn thing.

Derail, but this post confused the hell out of me. In the UK we have two discount/end line department stores, TKmaxx and TJHughes, apparently the former is the same parent company as your TJmaxx but had to be renamed over here to avoid being mixed up with the latter. OK back to lego now

Yeah I've gotten older ones there but not series six. Why the hell doesn't the Ross Park Mall have a Lego store, it has all this other snooty / trendy / expensive stuff. How about someplace I'd actually go?

If you drive a wee bit into Ohio there's the Ohio Valley Mall, which is a terrible terrible terrible mall (There's two tractor stores and three! indoor mini-golf places) but it has an independent Lego store which will just sell you the minifigs for like $5. They also have unique minifigs from sets like Speed Racer and stuff like that

I'm in Pittsburgh (and actually work at the Ross Park Mall - there IS a toy store that focuses on "educational" toys and has a huge wall of just Lego, I think it's by JC Penney on the second floor? I don't remember) and haven't seen any S6 yet though I haven't been searching. Plenty of S5 at the local Walmarts though. Yikes!

There was some interest a couple of days ago for this UK Exclusive promo set: http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=30029-1 I am willing to trade one of these for about 7-10$ worth of Lego. Just make me an offer with your cool stuff and we can sort it out.

Okay I just got back from London's Toyfair where I got to see some Lego. I don't know what's the latest public knowledge about these, but we got to see the Marvel, LOTR and Monster Fighters sets, all of which I took some notes on. We weren't allowed to take photos unfortunately... Marvel sets due to be available 8th April Captain America's Avenging Cycle £11.99
Quinjet Aerial Battle £69.99 Huge set, about a foot-long
Hulk Helicarrier Breakout £49.99
Wolverine's bike £19.99
Cosmic Cube Escape £19.99
LOTR The ring fits over a minifig's hand. Can see this getting lost easily. Every minifig has back printing on their torso and an alternate face - Frodo's is possessed kind of look Gollum fig has his head moulded on the his body. Legs don't move but the fig looks good. Arms are like droid arms but more normal hands. The rearing horses back legs move so they can stand properly. Helms Deep £99.99 Attack on Weathertop £49.99 Mines of Moria £69.99 Shelob's Attack £19.99 Uruk Hai Army £29.99 Gandalf Arrives £11.99 Orc Forge £29.99 Monster Fighters - due in August in time for Halloween Vampyre Castle £79.99 Features bat creatures with new webbed arms Ghost Train (wings flap as it moves along) £59.99 Mad Professor and Monster £39.99 - seems the professor is exactly the same as the collectible minifigure. Vampyre Hearse £24.99 The Werewolf £17.99 The Mummy £8.99 The Swamp Creature £4.99

Any details on the Orc Forge set? It was the only one not in the leaked images. And thanks for posting this stuff. Shame about the pics though Not that I'll be getting any of them at those prices. Have to wait for sales and stuff I guess.

We were told we'd need to purchase all seven sets to get a complete Fellowship. Apparently the Orc Forge has a winch... that's about all any of us remember.

The sets look pretty cool, noticeably a lot darker in tone (and colour), then but the high prices really put me off. Helm's Deep explodes. The set comes with an Orc bombardier guy and there's a button which explodes the wall.

The mini-figs look great and I am really looking forward to it. Also the Marvel sets might be of some interest to my son and I would like to see some pictures of them as well. The new heroes line came as a shock to me when I put them on the shelves for Christmas.

Which is odd given that two of the sets don't actually have any Fellowship members in them (and one only has duplicates). So something doesn't add up! Obviously the most important question is... do the hobbits have movable legs? Doesn't look like it in the promo image.

They look really fun and the sets have a nice lot of features! But there does seem to be a lot of duplication from the collectible minifig line. The new ghost looks fantastic, as does the new Werewolf head piece.
