Just loling at the idea of the chicken walker going around kicking barbed wire.

I suppose if the fence was tall enough they could be tripped, as well. Like cutting a speeder's grapple line thingy.

If that's why the AT-ST have fence cutting toes, then maybe they should make chainsaw shin guards so speeder bikes stop cratering on trees.

I’d have more questions about the attacking force that thought using speeder bikes on a heavily forested planet was a good idea.

I know why it's there. It's just a funny image of the big bad walker comming up to a trip wire and then just kinda nudging it with it's foot.

Also in the new trilogy those ape-walker things had razors on the legs for tow cables.

I'm selling a big ol' pile of 80s/90s Town sets and bulk in SA-Mart if anyone is interested! OBO, need my dining table back before the family descends for the holidays.

I grabbed the camera too. There’s nothing I want right now (other than the Titanic, so lol) but there’s a few sets my kid wants so should be able to rack up some decent double points.

I have been able to limit my impulse purchases to the Christmas sets as I would one day like to set up a Lego Christmas town for the holidays. Coincidentally the Santa's Visit set just so happened to come back in stock this morning and welp, welcome to the bin of other sets I keep in a storage unit!

I just realized I must have two VIP accounts and the one currently associated with my account is the old (?) one and hasn't been getting my points/purchases. Does anyone know how to change this? I have my "new" number from recent purchases but can't figure out a way to change it on lego.com.

I'm also interested in this. I've basically given up on using VIP points because I can't figure out how to reconcile the two accounts.

I couldn't find a way to fix it so did a chat and it told me they were too busy so it supposedly took my info and will email me about it.

I've got two years worth of points that are on an account not associated with my lego.com account. My old VIP account has a different email than my lego.com and the new VIP has the right/same email so hopefully they'll straighten it out. There's gotta be a shitload of points on there I always let them pile up because I forget about them but was going to use some today and realized it says I only have 589 points instead of like 50,000 or something which is probably closer to what it should be.

This happened to me when they started the dumb new system and the local store manager actually fixed it with someone on the phone for me. Pain in the rear end.

I had a weird thing happen with my order. I used paypal, and when I hit continue on paypal, lego just completed the order. No checkbox to confirm. No place your order button. I just hit continue on the paypal popup and went to another window to check something. When I came back the order was completed.

I was considering stopping it because my local store got home alone in stock and I wanted to look at it again because I am kind of on the fence. Never seen this happen before. I know I can call them to cancel but it is still strange and a headache if I change my mind.

The redeeming vouchers bit is still a big pain in the rear end. You used to be able to just get money off as you were checking out in store, now you have to go online, buy a voucher, then get a barcode to redeem that, and it’s so much more hassle.

San Francisco is retiring I think? Wonder if it'll come back in stock before disappearing entirely. I have some points to use up and I don't necessarily feel like waiting for the SC Countach etc. next year.

How's the Volkswagen T2 Camper?

I sort of want a set for the christmas break, but not a lot are speaking to me. I've already got the old Volkswagen camper so this new one doesn't feel like a must buy. Feel like it might just be smarter to wait till the new year and get the next modular.

Well, poo poo, I redeemed the points too, and figured that would count as 'purchased' for 60 days while I decided what I wanted.

Some people hate the fact you can see the interior mechanics or whatever on the part that lifts up and ever since I can’t unsee it. It’s still a neat set but suffering the same „ehh“ feeling compared to the old camper. Funny because when it first was announced I felt like it’d make a great companion piece but now I’m just waiting for the next modular too, yeah.

so, like, y'all who are into the modular sets: what do you do with them? like, do you have a huge basement with model trains running through a legobuilt town? do you sit in the middle of everything wearing a conductor's hat and smoking a cigar like gomez addams?

the reason I ask is that I'm putting together roads and building facades and landscaping and whatnot for maybe a brick block's worth of minifig scale town (3 of those big grey baseplates long by a big grey baseplate + a regular base plate wide) and it's so huge there's no way I could think of having it out on display.
