I marathoned the Palace Cinema in a day, because I figured "What the hey, there isn't a ton to the roof, I can wrap it up quick". Oh, how naive I was. So far I have Detective's Office, French Restaurant, and the Palace Cinema and I think I'd have to agree that the Detective's Office is the best of the bunch; you get a nice little narrative wrapped up in it which is a lot of fun, and it has some nice secret bits, and some really great signs. French Restaurant is just overall beautiful and an easy second, and as people have said while the Cinema looks really nice on the outside, it doesn't really have a whole lot going on.

Man those city sets are awesome now, I'd love to build a little city block but unfortunately I've not got the space or cash to drop. That new Slave I would look pretty rad on my desk though.

I'm pretty sure that if I push down juuuuuust right, I can still feel where my thumbs hurt from all the cheese slopes on Tower Bridge. I took it apart when I moved a year ago but I think I'm going to try to put it back together sometime soon

Ask you missus to help, we did in a total of 7.5 hours, but we split it over several days to avoid finger pain, since we basically type for a living and the pain slows you down. Also, I just learned the missus will be doing marketing interpretation for Lego with kids focus groups again soon. It rocks because a) Yes, I freely admit I am jealous of my GF's job.

Fall Catalog is out. Nothing too surprising, aside from that the leaks were wrong and WALL-E is $60.

I wondered about that. Toys R Us has it listed and I thought it might be a particularly onerous TrU tax. Won't stop me from buying two!

I'd much rather pay the $199 (£127) for the Ninjago Temple than the £169 over here. Such a pretty set.

You know, if Disney is keen on licensing their IP to Lego for sets, maybe it's time someone proposed a Tale Spin series. A bunch of cartoony float planes and airships would make for a good run.

Lucked out at the Lego store the other day. Wasn't much that caught my eye so I was just going to get a couple of minifigures and when I got to the counter they asked if I wanted any specific ones and so I just ended up buying a whole set. Need to get on and do the haunted house now so they have somewhere to live.

Got a WallE at my TRU today. They had two on the shelf with upc and price. The computer popped up with the don't sell before the 1st message so she called over a manager who didn't seem to care and overrode it.

How is that shuttle $120? It's doesn't even look big compared to tyderium which is 20 bucks cheaper. It might just be that the design has no nostalgia value to me but man that thing is boring looking.

Overall I think it's a cool build but I don't like the way the head is attached to the neck at all. It just spins all around like crazy. You can't do much with angles because of the weight of the head. Tilt it upwards and it just spins to the back. I'm hoping I missed something and it's not designed that way. Very neat otherwise!

I haven't yet, I keep meaning to. Apparently Lego is recalling their stocks of wall-e, and delaying its release for a week or two. Maybe the floppy head is the reason for that?

Just went to my local TRU, they wouldn't budge on the September 1 street date, but the lady did confirm they have them already.

I just saw on fbtb.net that the Exo-Suit is being OOP'd and they're clearancing it. It's sold out on shop.lego, but still on Amazon and target.com for the discounted price of $28 (from $35). Last chance to get a neat set and classic space torsos in green! I've already got 6 of them, so I think I'm set. Man, what's up with the photos in that review of that Kylo Ren's Shuttle? They're terrible, beyond the watermark. Dark, grainy as hell, lots of shadows... Pyroclastic fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Aug 28, 2015 |

I'm sure they'll show up at garage sales in giant buckets in a few years. I mean yeah a lot of the stock will be gobbled up by collectors but it is in fact a kid's toy, so many will be sold to them too.
