If you end up with any more unclaimed sets I would be down to have one shipped if you are into that. I bought Simpson's series 2 from some rando on Amazon and it turned out ok but I'd rather not do it again.

Where the hell are people finding the Disney figs? They've been sold out since day 1 in every shop I go to. Asda, Sainsbury's, Waterstones... absolutely jack poo poo anywhere.

I took it to mean it was dying.

I am waiting to see if season to gets a new base (hopefully not, I hated that with skylanders) and whether the season one models drop in price. I haven't bought anything yet, because while I am really tempted by the game, the packs are WAY overpriced.

They cover and entire tile, so you can have three in use at a time and they give you a little slice of game world. So, you can mix a Ghostbusters reboot vignette with a Doctor Who one and kind of course you're own adventure. The only ones we've heard rumors of so far is a Ghostbusters reboot one that has a McCarthy possessed minifig and a slice of the new HQ, and a 1st Doctor one that comes with a slice of the scrapyard.

I love what some people are speculating for the new Dimensions packs: http://brickinquirer.com/2015/09/21/report-harry-potter-and-other-franchises-leaked-for-lego-dimensions-2/ Yeah, I don't think Lego's going to be doing an A-Team and Knight Rider pack.

I'm having trouble locating certain pieces on pick a brick, brick link and eBay. It's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong but is that common? The 2 pieces in for sure having difficulty with are 2x4 flat tile in dark grey and 2x2x3 /73 in dark gray.

Oh, well that part exists too! There are two versions, "smooth" and "textured": http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3684b#T=S&C=10&O=%7B%22color%22:10%7D http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=3684#T=S&C=10&O=%7B%22color%22:10%7D

So this is kinda weird but I've always had an ear for sound effects in media. I think it started from watching too many cartoons and noticing the Wilhelm Scream in Star Wars. Anyway I am certain that last piece is what the Lego video games use for a lot of their recordings. It it's horn like shape is probably what gives it its character.

I've never seen that 2x2x3 brick before. Huh. The non sloping one. I guess it's specifically for load-bearing like the couple 2x1x2 weird ones I have. Electromax fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 11, 2016 |

Lego likes to drop stuff like that in in cases where they can't offset bricks to build structure, but need strength. I haven't encountered that specific brick either, but we all probably have a handful of the 2x1x2's. My favorite is the 1x1x5. These days they seem more willing to use technic pins to stiffen things up, which is probably a better long term solution.

So, I went scouting through town for Football minifigs. Loosk liek I won't be able to get any at all if what clerks tell me is true. Every body I asked said they only come out on Saturday the 14th, and 5 shops (the major retailers in downtown) said I need to be there really early because they have shitloads of inquires already but only get one box and don't do reservations. And I am in Switzerland Friday to Monday...  The most annoying part was in one shop there was a rather cluesless girl I asked. She said "We just got a box today, but I don't know where my colleague put it". She even checked the storage for me. No dice. I guess her colleague sold it to herself.  Side note: No Disney minifigs anywhere in sight, and none of the shops received them. One shop said, they onyl come in July?! (Lego sells them though).

If you're looking for Disney figs in Orlando the Disney Springs Lego Store sold out of their 3000 units in 3 hours, but World of Disney next door has been getting in crates every couple of days (God knows how or why, the Lego store can't get more apparently). People come in and feel out the packs but they do a poo poo job, I was told there were no more Mickeys left and I ended up with one, so check then yourself to be sure.

I haven't bought anything yet, because while I am really tempted by the game, the packs are WAY overpriced. Lego Dimensions and it's packs are priced like video games so deep discounts after a few months. Never pay more than half price for the packs. There are always deals at most retailers for at least the fun packs. I have never paid more than half MSRP on fun packs. A few weeks ago, Target through their Cartwheel app had Lego Movie and Ninjago fun packs for 75% off. This week, BTTF level pack was $11.99 at Best Buy. Sometimes it means waiting for what you really want, but it's worthwhile to watch out for(Reddit has a weekly deals thread in their subreddit).

Yeah same for Germany, no sales at all in retail. There was one on Amazon where the fun packs were like 10%off. I have never understood why the U.S. gets these crazy discounts on stuff and we don't. But part of it is a mindset of "we rich Germans can afford it". Which really sucks. EDIT: My Quest for Lego German Footballers Dear diary, I went to 3 more stores today, none of which will be receiving any of the football minifigs. They know of them but won't be getting any because they are so limited. I will try to talk my 65 year old mother into going to one of the toy stores I know will be getting them right at opening time on Saturday morning to buy as many as she can "for her grand children". I wasn't even interested in the beginning and mainly wanted to get them so I could forward doubles to goons overseas, now that I see how rare they are, they will likely be a good but very hard to come by "investment"... I feel slightly worried about the lengths I go to for some Lego minifigs... Hopper fucked around with this message at 10:46 on May 12, 2016 |

I went back yesterday for something and saw that it was about half and half now. Got my Ursula, Peter Pan, and Hook, but sadly there weren't any Maleficent out!

I'm not interested in soccer at all, but if they are going to be that rare I can try and grab a box as well. Maybe I'll have better luck than Hopper. E: speaking of sales... a store here still has half a dozen alien motherships on the shelves for full retail.

Yeah, Munich has too many people with more disposable income than sense. (I am not one of them sadly.) I instructed my mother to go into town and "BUY ALL THE SOCCER MINIFIGS YOU CAN GET". In German but literally this and in caps in an email with a pic of the pack so she knows what to look for. My 65 year old mother is hunting Legos for us. I hope you are happy now.

Retail stores don't stock the Disney ones here  I'll pay the Lego Store a visit soon, they always help you feel up the figs with a 100% hit ratio. I can do it myself but having up to 3 employees help me is way faster and love doing it.

I haven't found Disney minifigs here but sometimes we just skip a wave altogether? Our Target will sell through a couple waves in a pretty timely manner, then get choked up on one (Simpsons series 2 did this, I think the recent Halloween series too) and we'll skip a wave or two; they never stocked the last wave and it doesn't look like they're doing Disney either since the aisle cap is now covered in blindbag Minions instead.  I went 10 for 10 when I found the last wave somewhere else though so I'm ready to press my luck if the Barnes and Noble picks them up or something.
