No there will be many more in the game, including Wonder Woman and Green Lantern.

You need to MOC some siege machinery, or a field, or something. Don't waste that beauty on a shelf or something!

Here's an even crazier idea: a Lego Star Wars game. They could even do one for the prequel trilogy, one for the original trilogy and one for Clone Wars. Alas, it will probably always remain a dream.

gently caress me, that new minifigure set has Roman soldiers, celts, and minotaurs? This is what gets me buying Legos again, I just know it.

Ugh I could totally see myself digging out all my old Legos, cleaning them up, and starting to build Rome or something nuts. Hey, speaking of - best way to clean old Legos that have probably tons of mouse poop on them? Just hot water and soap?

Someone else can probably give clearer instructions but I believe putting them in a pillowcase and throwing them in the washing machine is what others have recommended.

The best thing ever would be if Lego had "boys" and "girls" flags on their search and they both gave you the exact same results.

Ah, that makes more sense. Good catch.

Though they should probably include all the sets with Hayden Christensen minifigs as well, then.

If you're just shooting to get grime off, a half-hour soak in a slightly-weaker-than-suggested warm water-and-OxyClean mix with a rinse and air dry is the best thing I came across. Beats the washing machine, a toothbrush, dish soap, et al. Regular soap won't rinse off quite the way Oxy does.

Oh, of course. Remember that picture of the Romans fighting robots I had? Now I have more than double the Romans and triple the Robots. Most of the Romans are an investment for 6 months to a year down the line, but I sure as hell am going to do some silly things with them before they get traded/sold off!

Just had my mind changed on the Friends line. I was kind of indifferent to the sets, but I was at a client's house ad they have 2 very princess daughters. The total pink princess disney daughter deal.
and now in the middle of all the doll houses I saw a couple Friends sets that were not only built, but looked played with. Warmed my heart a little.

Speaking of Friends.



Smith's/Fredmeyer has 15% off Friends coupons right on the shelves, plus another 10% off everything home related including toys. So 25% off is hard to pass up. The Batman one was only 10% off but I want a Catwoman dammit! And that little set seems to fly off the shelves more than any other.

Those coupons are good through tomorrow I believe, so if you need an excuse for more Lego you have one.

Walmart has a fuckton of little polybagged sets in for Easter, including three Friends sets. One of them has that elusive little laptop. So I guess I bought a couple Friends sets (along with one or two of everything else, including a Ninjago set that launches neon green snakes in the air).

Finally got around to building the creator lighthouse that's been sitting on my desk the last two weeks and for the first time ever in my history with Lego it was missing a piece. Just one skeleton leg for the railing.

It really is a pretty cool set. I can envision little plumes of smoke coming out of the stovepipe. If only those pesky seagulls would stop stealing the keepers fish.

When I first got the lighthouse I sorted my pieces out then went "what the HECK did they give me skeleton legs for???" Clever use of them in the end though, but I was incredibly confused for a while. I thought there was some sort of tragic storyline that involved a bunch of severed legs.

When a lighthouse guardian gets too old for the job, they chop off his legs and toss his torso in the water to sink to the bottom of the sea. The bones are kept as souvenirs.
