I discovered that I'm awful at feeling bags. My local place has Series 13 (which has far more desirable figs, at least to me), and I got the Fencer, Goblin, Alien, and the disco guy. Much nicer than my CMF 15 pulls, but I do love me some Shark Guy.

I ended up with a couple hours to kill in town the other day and just happened to find myself in the Lego store and as it was the May 4th promotion thought it would be rude not to take advantage and bought Poe's X-Wing, which I'd been eyeing up for a while. I was disappointed with the wings, as googling tells me many were, but also found it really easy to rebuild them in a much more authentic style straight out of the box. Slightly baffled why they didn't do it originally with how easy it was to make the change.

Get hyped! I need to know the footprint, will it be wall mountable or too wide? (Can't read the numbers in the picture) Also footballer update: I should be able to ship out one full set plus individual extras. But please wait for my confirmation before getting too hyped, haven't sorted it all out yet. Hopper fucked around with this message at 13:39 on May 19, 2016 |

Aledgedly it is 20 cm wide and 60 cm high. Which would just fit the base on a shelf. However, that may only be the tower.

Pro Tip: If you need a minimal shelf to hold it on the wall, this Ikea one for 10 GBP/EUR will do: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90282180/ I have the Tower Bridge on a similar one. What's with the black Lego tools they included in the pic? Weird.

Plastik posted:I don't know but if you watch the Bricks Magazine video the pre-release version of the set he built has them too. When the set is done they're all piled in front of his laptop. The pieces used to make the clock hands come from the same mold as the rest of the various little tools, and so whenever a set includes one, it includes the others as well because you can't make one without making the others at the same time. In this case several (at least 8) wrenches are used, and so the set comes with at least 8 complete sets of tools.

Does anyone have a spare s11 barbarian for sale? I found that I like minifigs for D&D since I can customize them more that traditional minis. I'm also looking for shields as well. I'd also probably be interested in one of the German soccer minis if all of the ones picked up have not been claimed yet.

for $249 I'm definitely picking that up. Shows you just much of a premium the GB Firehouse has, $100 more for 500 more pieces. The working clock is just too cool to pass up.

There's a couple things I'd do differently with access to more pieces, like having the leading edges of the lower s-foils being straight rather than tapering, but otherwise I think it's an improvement.

Ok confirmation: I have enough footballers to send out one complete set. To keep it fair, I will check which foreign goon was the first to express interest in a full set ITT and see if they still want it. If not I will ask the next in line. It is pretty late and I will be busy tomorrow/Saturday, so I will go through this thread Sunday to see who it was. I will figure out shipping options and prices and will ship it at cost+shipping. However, work is crazy and taxes are due, so it may take a bit to figure the shipping out and send the stuff. I will do it though. I also have some extras, I will post a list Sunday.

For those of you in the Seattle area, the Fred Meyer in Renton has 4 boxes of the Disney figs that are barely touched. I only grabbed a small handful for my wife and I, so go nuts.

I just picked up a full box of football figs, so I hope that means 3 sets + 12 spares. I'll go through it tonight to double check and see if I can finish a set with the spares I still have from my set, and post a list. who else had wanted a set?

Oh, I thought I saw them moving independently in the video but I must have been mistaken. I does seem kinda far fetched, I don't think there are any bricks that small which would allow it. Still looks really good, plus I got to learn the actual name of the clock tower.

On the other hand, modding in a true working clock can't be that hard, even if it means using a non-lego clock to make it happen. I love the reverse-printed clear dish for the clock face.

Found a closeup of the clock face: http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/lego-big-ben-800x420.jpg ( Original Article ). Looks like a minifig socket/breaker bar piece and a closed end wrench, definitely not automated hand movement.

If you watch the designer video there's a 2x2 disc on the outside you turn to make all 4 clocks move. Just attach something to that on the outside.
