^^^ Is that a set or some custom stuff? Easter batman is pretty awesome.

It's all from sets. That's an Arctic Batman cowl, most of the cast are wearing the easter bunny hats and torsos from the Minifigures figure, Unikitty was rebuilt as Unibunny, and the couch was reupholstered with light azure.

Are you trying to buy it in the US? It's not released yet, so you have to buy an imported copy.

Gave this a shot, I was going to wait for one more possible shipment into the store to see if they got any but I guess I'll try my luck ordering onine. Worried I'll just end up missing it entirely.

Disregard on that info, looks like I need to read more than the header of the email. It appears the shipping information was for the free promo item. I'm kind of bummed out on that now.

If it isn't broken, fix it till it is.
Just found out that not only does Toys-R-Us price match lego.com prices (say good-bye to TRS tax forever), but they'll price match their sales as well. And it just so happens that the word "Sold Out" on individual items is just slightly off the screen on a mobile device, so I got to price match against a sold out, retired set knocking $40 off the TRS listed price and getting myself a set I missed.

Does this apply to Toys-R-Us express too?

So lego ideas is basically turning into facebook, cater to nostalgia or pop culture and enjoy infinite upvotes.

Though it is a nice build I just can't see a toy company agreeing to manufacture it.

Picked up two sets this weekend: A B-Wing which was on sale - quite a fun build I even got one of those fancy new brick separators (which would have been nice about a week earlier when I was putting together a bunch of old sets I had in storage) - and that big-rear end Technic Cargo plane. I forgot how fun these big technic sets can be to put together. Only real complaints are how many drat stickers the set had and how the battery box takes 6 AAs and I don't see a way to get it out to remove/put batteries in without disassembling a part of the plane.

Now to resist the urge to buy one of those red-five X-Wings.

This popped on my Facebook for some reason as a trending topic, with this description: "The Golden Girls: Lego Ideas Program Accepts Detailed Recreation of 1980s Sitcom's Set"

Which is pretty confusing.

Birds set is awesome. Does anyone have any MOCs, preferably with instructions, to build more birds to go with the official set? I highly doubt I could put together something that detailed on my own, I don't build natural looking stuff much.

The hummingbird isn't quite up to the standards of the other two. All the photos show up from a very low perspective. When you build it, you realize that's because the top of the bird is pretty boring, just two dark green pieces. And the neck is really spindly from most angles other than the one they took the product photos from.

The guy who did the Ideas set has a lot more on Flickr. No instructions, but I would guess most of them use the same core with studs on all six sides that the robin uses in the official set. And the details around that core are pretty easy to get from the photos.

The Technic 62006 Excavator. I was mad I missed it before it retired (was waiting for B1G1 50% sale to cancel TRS tax or double VIP) because it is reselling high on eBay and I didn't want to pay so much for it. Now I got one cheap.

On an unrelated note, that blue F-35 set coming out later this year, has anything showed what the two alt-models will be? I assume it's one of the Creator 3-1's.
