I think this is the best overall Supes set out at the moment, but does anyone have it? Should I get one?

I like the shoulders and helmets of the other Kryptonians and I'm not sure if those canopy pieces have ever been in dark gray before. Also 8 plate hinges in sand green(?). I don't recognize the piece used for the seats & doors in the jeep, either, and the jeep's missiles look like they're azure 1x1 cones.

Yes, I think one of my monster fighters vehicles has that piece, it's basically one tub which you can surround with pieces.

This Lego-based kickstarter looks kinda cool, but I want more pics & poses of the mecha, and to know just how compatible they are with Lego.

It looks promising, but honestly I don't understand why they designed it around the minifig torso and legs. If they're gonna go to the trouble of creating all these neat parts, why not have a core that allows for some more articulation? Though I suppose if the main objective is to have a lego-based game it makes sense, but it still seems like a bit of a waste of time to me.

Probably just to attract the Lego fan base I would imagine or extra attention from using "lego". I really don't understand how it would be considered a 'lego based' game just because it uses a few legos. I'd be more interested in a Lego chess set.

Not to mention double points this month, giving you $10 worth of VIP points. The "international mail" part mean they are almost certainly not in the US. And the lego.com prices elsewhere are pretty steep. Like those two sets would run you 95 GBP, or $153 in the UK. So if the shipping from the US was less than $45, that Bricklink store would be a better deal. smackfu fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Oct 21, 2013 |

Most of the time though I get good deals. It's some sellers that like to gouge aliens such as I with no-frills shipping; those tariffs are for priority, which is rather fast and dependable to be frank.

Yeah I was going to say, thats priority prices, and every time I sell something internationally I ask them up front "do you want it in 6 months with standard mail, or next week with priority". The time difference is staggering but so is the price.

Most shops will have shipping rates in their shop info. Does it suggest anything quite so high? I get packages from all over quite frequently and its rarely over a few bucks and I get them in a week or two. Maybe the boxes are over what's considered a "standard" size?

The time difference is staggering but so is the price. Does it really take that long to get stuff shipped to Europe? I get stuff from Bricklink shipped from Europe to the US quite often and it's 5-7 days longer with Royal Mail or French Post than domestic packages through USPS.

If you're near a K-mart, Check there. Apparently some of those sets are on clearance Speaking of deals, have the November lego.com specials been announced? I'm buying the lego R2D2 for my mom for Christmas, and was wondering if I should get it this month or next.

My local Fred Meyer (Kroger) is clearancing out their Avengers Quinjet set at $35. Half price isn't half bad for half the minifigures in the line.

Well, that's refreshing. At the NYC store the employees just tell me I'm better off ordering online. Which they are right, being the NYC price hikes and all. I'm just a glutton for instant gratification.

The Orlando staff is supremely nice. I recommend staying clear of the store on a Friday or Saturday, especially at night, though. Extra fun fact: if you go to the Ghirardelli Chocolate store near Lego you get free samples, this month is Pumpkin Spice Caramel, I think.

We went to the Lego Store in St. Louis this past week and bought The Winter Village, The Winter Cottage, a DeLorean and a few smaller sets for christmas presents. Delorean ended up being free between the points we already had and the ones we accumulated.

Cuusoo results are out... looks like a lot of results from Winter 2012, and Spring and Summer 2013. I don't think there are any real surprises there. I kinda hope the Land Rover gets made, kind of reminds me of the Model Team stuff from back in the 90s. Although I do find it kind of ironic that Lego has rejected Zelda twice now, and there is a 3rd Zelda project that is less than 500 away from 10000. e;fb dangittj fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Oct 23, 2013 |

You can just but the instructions http://www.sheepo.es/2013/02/land-rover-defender-110-instructions.html then bricklink the parts. I figured even with my existing parts it was going to take at least $140 in bricklink orders to make it happen so I backed off for now.

Kind of annoyed (but not particularly surprised) that they've dropped even the one or two sentences of explanation for each rejection in favor of a form statement. I mean, it's pretty obvious why everything got turned down but I appreciated getting that glimpse into the process.
