Checked on the Milano clearance at my local Target last night, they marked the set up to $99.99 so when they "clearanced" it, its $69.99. A whopping $5 less than retail lol.

Just watched the designer video and that Ninjago temple set is one of the best things they've done in ages. Fully intend to expand it into a walled garden

The best part of the Ninjago Temple is that they kept the crazy to a minimum. No snakemen or robots in sight.

I wonder how that will sell, considering they are taking a theme that is pretty explicitly geared towards kids and making a really pricey thing that looks like it's meant to appeal to people that are buying modulars out of it. Like, did they even really need to include the ninjas? It would be fun to surround it in some plants and use it as a centerpiece.

There's also a rumour floating around that we'll get a UCS Hoth Base as our end-year Star Wars release. I dunno how likely that'd be, but Ewok Village was popular enough and with that Ninjago castle, well...

Hoth Base just doesn't seem distinctive enough, even at a UCS scale.

It doesn't stop! I genuinely think we're in for a whole line of Doctor Who sets here. There seems to be so much being made, including unique new moulds/parts that just a single Ideas set wouldn't suffice.

Potomac Mills lego outlet store has a stack of Friends and City advent calendars for eight bucks each. A bunch of Lego Movie sets (creative ambush and flying flusher) for eight as well. Plus a table more of assorted stuff marked down. Lots of Mixel bags, didn't get a look at which ones.

I want to hear what a life/soul draining experience that would be seeing how any Comic Con Lego exclusive goes for a redic amount of money on ebay so it is a no brainer for any reseller.

Some dude on reddit found this in a second hand shop: Looks like he's missing the antenna but the flag looks pristine. I'd fall over if I saw that sitting on a shelf in 2015.

I've got four or five of the baseplates still, but none of the sets that would have gone on top of them are complete. So I just use them to build random bases every so often.

Hoth is the best. I have zero interest in the Ewok Village (well the minifigures are cool) but I might cave and get a UCS hoth set.

It was the first "big" set my parents ever bought me. I have almost all of it except for the really expensive bits.. the TV antenna is long gone and my flag is in two pieces. The little train thing was a joke of a rail system but I was convinced it was the coolest feature ever and I wanted dozens of those "rail" pieces so I could build a longer one.

I would agree with you, but do you have any idea how much money Disney Infinity and Skylanders pull in? If Lego Dimensions is even half that successful each set will sell enough units to justify multiple unique molds. Not saying they'll do it, just saying it's not entirely out of the question. Either way it's clear that Lego is after that market in a big way.

I haven't had anything to do with Lego Technic for the last 15 years, but I want to build a motorized Gigahorse from the new Mad Max movie. Got any tips for which (available)models I should check out to get some huge wheels, 16 engine thingies, motor, and whatever else I'd need?

Running a garage sale today as part of a citywide sale. 3 people have already asked me if I have any Legos. Yes I do, but not for sale. Also what's the thread's opinion on the BrickFest show. There's one nearby this weekend but the $20 entrance fee is a bit steep if all i want to do is check out the builds and browse through the vendors.

So they finally opened a Lego store in my town. I went down to check it out; it's been forever since I built anything and I'm planning on moving soon so I figure, eh, maybe pick up a couple minifigs, a polybag maybe, spend twenty bucks tops. Nothing that'll need to be taken apart in two months, etc. I left with Birds. Super excited to build it too, it looks fantastic.

It's the wrong color but you could start with 2 Ghostbusters caddies. I want to make the Elvis twin v6, best starting point is two hot rod 42022.
