All of the new Star Wars sets were released today instead of August 6th. Go pick up your Palpatine Shuttle or Slave 1 or something! The Clone Tank is loving awesome.

Guessing by they way that Series 1 came out, they'll be in Europe first, then the UK about 2 weeks after (not sure why we don't get the same release date as the rest of Europe!) then the US about a month later. I can't find them on sale anywhere in the UK yet, so the US might be a little while off yet. Especially as they're not even for sale in the lego shop!

Just ordered a Hoth Wampa Cave and a Slave I from the site and they've already shipped with a delivery date of August 3rd, even though I only chose Standard Shipping. Also you get free shipping on orders over $100 right now, so buying online may be your best option.

I saw this house at Target today for the first time. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8403-1 It was $39.99 for 383 pieces, and it also said "special edition" on the box, but I don't see what exactly is special about it.

I like it, but then again I primarily subscribe to it because I play Lego with my Little Brother (as in, in Big Brothers, Big Sisters little brother) all the time since I managed to net a smart kid this year. I primarily like the "suggested alternate builds" they do where they pick a popular set and come up with something cool to build that isn't included in the normal plans. The exclusive sets are pretty cool too, I guess. Just got a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle the other day that I have yet to build. I guess it all really depends on how you value $40.

Yeah at my store, the release date for the new Star Wars sets was August 6th, then they moved it to the 2nd, and then they were like "JUST RELEASE IT NOW!" a few days ago. I want Palpatine's shuttle so bad.

The latter- when I first saw the thumbnails I thought it was a microscale ship, and the three sections of the upper hull hides all the good stuff.

That is a really cool moc. I love that the builder used so many random parts, it gives it a very used look. Also awesome that the top shield/shroud thing comes off and hinges. Very cool. Edit: drat, now I need to start looking for yard sales.

I can't help but feel the new Space Police series is promoting prejudice. It seems a bit too 1950s Alabama that all the police are caucasian and all the "bad guys" are a little bit "different". Look. Cops get heavy on an alien just because he's got a gun. Nevermind that the cops are all armed to the teeth, no. An alien with a gun, that's a real worry, lock him up boys (oh, and that little B on the alien's chest stands for BLACKtron to push home the racial metaphor). Space pimp. We all know that he's just filling a void in the economy created by overzealous anti-prostitution laws. Don't target space pimp, he's merely the supplier. Legalise and regulate the industry and you'll remove the need for illegal prostitution and unsavoury characters like space pimp, without the need for expensive incarceration which only exacerbates his [or its] criminality. Then there's this one. That's a shark dude in that containment cell, in case you can't see. Humans have been persecuting sharks for decades because they 'look scary' to us, even though more people are killed every year by space bees/falling space soda machines/other innocuous phenomena that's actually pretty deadly when you look at the numbers. This shark dude's imprisonment is a damning indictment of the human psyche, to fear the alien without regard to logic, facts and statistics. Then there's this guy. I dunno maybe his species can only eat gold or something so when humans showed up and turned it into the currency, his people started to starve. I'm not sure but OPEN YOUR MINDS PEOPLE!

Wow, some very cool stuff in this thread guys. I have only a tacit interest in LEGO myself, but I'd like to get something nice that can sit somewhere in my home as a display piece. I like the look of that big Green Grocer set I've seen on a few sites. Can anyone comment about that set and whether it's a fun build and truly looks good in the end? And what are the chances of going into my local TRU and finding it on the shelves? (obviously I can order online from a millions places, but buying local is always preferable)

McFunkerson posted:That was pretty drat cool. That tortoise looked like he wanted to gently caress your poo poo up. Yeah, aside from the wheels, I was careful to only use common parts for that reason. Also, the string is tied to various parts for easy recovery. The camera was extremely cheap too, and that tortoise has been doing so much excavation lately that if something did get lost, maybe he would eventually push it out.

children overboard posted:OPEN YOUR MINDS PEOPLE! drat, you got a good point there. What this currently-discriminatory theme needs are some suitably-awesome Space Police aliens, and human space criminals in the form of the return of Blacktron. Also those four-armed assholes totally deserve what's coming to them after stealing jobs from hard-working, honest humans with their multiple appendages and lust for gold.
