The amount of effort you guys are going through to get some batman minifigures 2 weeks early is mildly disturbing.

They make good stocking stuffers. I just want to take advantage of the 25% off at target, though.

After seeing the latest trailer/teaser for the lego batman movie, i'm surprised Condiment King isn't one of the CMFs.

This sucks :( they are one of the few independent lego retailers in Australia, and they've always been lovely when I've shopped in person. I hope insurance covers them.

Also, what would you do with such a thing? Selling it would be very difficult and it's not like you can break it down, as recently discussed. Stealing a bunch of actual stock would have made more sense.

Has anyone found anything cool to do with those little A-frame lego plates, like that grey bit that makes the base of the night's stand?

They're a really odd angle and I initially felt like they would be great for making new angles on spaceship wings but I had big trouble getting the studs to line up with anything on a standard lego grid.. I basically had to hamfist the fixes in with hinge plates which I generally don't like doing because they're a bit flimsy on their own and require a lot of reinforcement.

I experimented with them at work, and made a sort of thing. They're a challenge to use correctly, to be sure.

I bought the Bat Cave for the boxing Batman and brat pack Batman. I don't regret this, it's a cool set with a lot of features.

Have you started to Bricklink the pieces to expand the revolving costume rack so it holds the entire cmf line?

It would have to be expanded quite a bit, wouldn't it? Aren't there 10 different outfits that we know about, so far? Looks like it holds 6 or 7 at most.

I've thought it through. I think I'll do it with two tiers rather than expand it.

It's gotta be a poorly thought out punching bag. I don't think the prostitute thing would have even crossed my mind if you guys didn't say that. Although poo poo. I really dont know haha.

I think those two in the bottom left are Asian themed. One is the head of a dragon, the other is a lantern on the street.

I see it for the same price as the city minifig set on bricklink, plus it has imo a more interesting selection and five more than what the city one gets. I'm actually tempted to get it.

poo poo I should not have dipped into the lego thread again, I've started making dumb miniature crap again like this desert temple. But at least it caused me to go through some of my old sets and find a few I don't want anymore, so I figured I'd offer them up here to goons before garage saling them in the spring or something:

5982 Space Police Smash n' Grab
5286 City Prisoner Transport
5868 Creator Helicopter
30002 City Policeman and Boat (Sealed)

Outside of the polybag, the rest are in ziploc bags only with manuals and they should be complete. (Space police may be missing the wrench and 100 dollar bill pieces)

Of course now I'm looking at sets for good pieces to use in building miniature scale things, I'll probably wind up picking up something from the Friends line on the cheap and see what I can do with it.

Ever build a thing on the fly and be excited for what you can do with it and then realize you don't have enough pieces/the right pieces to make it a reality?

I started building a head for a suitable riding beast for the green guy out of the six sets I got of him, and through just wingin' it I ended up with this rad frilled dragon-esque head with banana nosehair like some kind of stubby asian dragon or something. Then no matter what I did I couldn't build a body using the remaining pieces that could support the heavy head while having articulation for the legs.



I'll try again later but I don't think it'll happen. Bummer.
