kefkafloyd posted:I'm kinda annoyed that I got an email just now that today and this weekend (Aug 5-7) is double VIP points when I literally bought Big Ben yesterday. Could always just return it and rebuy it? edit: unless you already built it Corn Glizzy fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 5, 2016 |

Maybe you could re-buy it and return the un-opened one with the receipt from yesterday.

When I returned something to the Lego Store, they let me keep the points.

I spent half an hour going through 2 boxes of Disney minifigs today looking for Peter, Stitch and Alice. I got Peter and Stitch, which means only Alice is missing now, but why is there no Alice anywhere? Is she incredibly rare? Edit: Btw I know at least 4 shops where I can still get Disney figs here in Germany. If any of you are still missing one or two from the series, I may be able to get you that elusive one you need next week. Unless it is Alice. Then I obviously can't... I already shipped a whole team of German footballers to the states, so sending some figs is not a big deal, just don't ask for a full set. Retail price is 2.99 €, no idea about shipping, probably like 6€ to the US, shipping all the footballers was 12€ or so IIRC. Hopper fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Aug 5, 2016 |

I bought the Bucket Wheel Excavator today. Holy poo poo this box is huge. Also with double points weekend, $30 just for buying it! Plus the free London Bus. Hot weekend to spend more to save more at the Lego store!

The Disney Minifig boxes are well balanced, with 3 of every minifig and 6 there are 4 of. Buying a full box guarantees 3 full sets of minifigs.

My TRU only got a handful of Disney minifigs after the initial release (where they were all snatched up immediately) and I got dupes of Genie, Aladdin and Mickey  Some shithead picked out all the Buzz and Ursula of course. Now they've moved onto the next series so  I guess.

Today I finally got around to opening a First Order Transporter I bought during the holidays. Some dickwad not only opened the set and then resealed it, but proceeded to slice open each bag, remove ALL mini figures, then replace them. I'm just glad I got this lemon instead of some kid wanting a bricked Phasma on Christmas.

I foolishly ordered the new GB car with a bunch of books on Amazon and the box arrived hilariously pancaked. Every bag was like optimally flattened out in there. Anyone got any good links to 'how its made' re: Lego packaging? I wanna know how hard they work the 'optimizing bags and conveyor packing systems' and 'how small of a box can we get these pieces into' problems. It would be a fun problem to see how small of a space you could fit an "unbuilt" lego model if you were allowed to stick pieces together in the box. e: I guess people occasionally skirt that line in "pick a brick" strategizing discussions. e2: I found this interesting (recovery from 1998-2004 dip): http://www.scdigest.com/assets/on_target/07-09-25-7.php?cid= quote:The key changes to the supply chain naturally follow the issues identified above: This is from 2007.

I'm excited for the minifigs. They all look like solid sets but I doubt I'll invest in any of them. Maybe the AT-ST because it's rad as hell.

All I can ever see in the new Star Wars stuff is crappier looking versions of ships from the old trilogy. At-St set is cool though.

I'm definitely grabbing the AT-ST, Hovertank, the Shuttle and maybe the U-Wing. I'm probably passing on the TIE Striker, I like it, but I'm looking more for making a ground based thing.

It's so basic and "Iron Giant"-ish.... But I wonder. Could you build out onto it?? Like make it a base for more Lego Mecha expanding?

I just ordered the Kwik-E Mart set on a whim today, and I have the feeling this is going to be a wonderfully expensive addiction I'm heading towards. Tell me I'm good. Tell me I made a good decision.

Maybe I'm spoiled by good BL sellers but I ordered a Lord Business on July31, paypal'd on Aug1, and here we are 9 days later. No item, no ship confirmation, no answer of my message sent half a week ago. A little annoyed.

That Ghost Rider set is pretty top notch. Great figures and a really fun and varied build with a lot of good parts. I'm not sure why they even bothered with the street corner but even that is pretty well done.

So apart from also looking like rear end, the U-Wing is not actually a fighter, but a gunship or even a transport? They should really start giving the Lego dudes more info on upcoming poo poo.

^^Supposedly a gunship/transport. The wings on the U-Wing are movable, and I'm surprised they weren't swept backwards on the box:  It looks cooler, but vaguely Battlestar Galactica-ish.

Nope, still terrible. Do the wings on the lego version move as well?

uXs posted:Nope, still terrible. Presumably; if you look at where the wings just out from, just in front of the engines, there's a couple of hinges in there. On the engines there's a socket where a ball-joint at the back of wings would click in to, to make it lock more securely. I'd really like to see what it looks like swooped.
