WaynesWorldGirl posted:No, you were right the first time, what an rear end in a top hat. I really want some Pharoah's Quest, but if I saw some at Target today, I wouldn't clean them out of every single copy of every set. Maybe other collectors want some? Maybe even kids want some? The guy's a huge hardcore rear end in a top hat. I loving would, and turn my basement into a scale replica of the valley of the kings. Well, no, not really. But I really want some of those sets. The Pyramid and the Bi-plane are cool.

Saint Sputnik posted:Any idea if they'll go back to the cowboy theme in future? I remember writing Lego a letter when I was 8 or so suggesting the theme, even pointing out how they already had horses and cowboy style hats, but once they finally made them I was kind of not into Lego at the time. I know its not what you meant but a future cowboys series would rock, it would be like a non-licensed Firefly.

The_Doctor posted:It can't be just me who thinks those architecture sets are the biggest waste of money, right? They are severely overpriced. Which is a shame, because if they were fairly priced for the part simplicity involved I would have probably bought the entire line just because.

So when is LEGO gonna get wise and get the license for a back to the future line? Who here wouldn't buy a Delorean? Seriously. Clocktower set? The Train? They would fly off shelves.

Fatkraken posted:Gosh, the straight monorail track costs a FORTUNE on Bricklink. I guess most of the space sets concentrated on curves and the up/down ramps, those are way cheaper. There are more curves and ramp pieces than straight pieces in the base set, making the straight pieces rarer by default. They would have had to have been purchased separately in monorail track piece sets and those were pretty rare even when they were in production.

A couple quick redesigns, removing the neon pieces, and adding a couple tickertape machines and that batcave turns into Adam West batcave. Hell just build around the phone and the "Bat Gear" sign. Motherfucking bat gear. I dig it. Edit: I totally have to make an Adam West batcave now, all my series minifigs would make amazing 60's batman villains. The Mime, The Nurse, The Pharaoh.. oh god Im going to get my lego out at 2 am aren't I?

JohnWilkesGoonth posted:Amazing, my girlfriend wanted this for christmas since it's the house that made her want to be an architect. Thanks for the heads up. My (also) architect wife doesn't want the Robie house, but that isn't getting me out of buying her Falling Water and the Farnsworth house for Christmas. I feel guilty because I know how much she wants them, but inside I keep thinking about what a horrible price per brick value they are and that I shouldn't buy them.

memy posted:Just got back from Barnes & Noble. At first I was disappointed to find that their 50% off did not apply to LEGO Architecture. However that disappointment left as soon as I saw that it did apply to ADU HQ. Wow bummer. The location next to me had Architecture under the 50% off, the wife and I just finished putting together Falling Water. Speaking of which, freaking awesome set. I was skeptical, its kinda tiny, but at $50 there was no turning it down. Its just a crazy awesome build, so much detail, really fun to put together.

GidgetNomates posted:That's all I ever looked for in a spouse. Done deal. Until someone with more Lego comes along and then we are THROUGH. Ive been considering both, I've settled on the cargo train. More track, some cool unique pieces, and the passenger train is kinda butt ugly. Not that it matters too much, my wife got me the emerald night and it should be here next Monday. Whatever set I get will be gutted to power / give track to that awesome awesome engine.  I'm so excited for this thing, I feel kindof silly looking forward to it as much as I am but just look at it

GidgetNomates posted:Is Emerald Night still available in stores? I might order it sometime but what I'm getting this weekend is limited to what I find at TRU. I had to go online to find it, pretty sure its out of production and whatever is floating around in online shops (mine came from Target) is about all that's left. Maersk train next, then prayers that Lego re-releases the Santa Fe sets because holy hell those are too expensive.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:Agreed. I don't mind stickers for most pieces, but hate them for tiles and sloped 'computer' pieces. Also don't like it when stickers are supposed to be applied over multiple pieces (though this is unusual in my experience). I usually hate stickers, but I lovingly and meticulously applied them to my Emerald Night that came in over the weekend because I am convinced that engine will never be disassembled. I came out the ay after my wife and I had put it together and she had displayed it prominently in the living room, she usually hides my toys.

Shuppiluliumas posted:I don't know if there's been anything official about it, but everything I've heard from company people suggests Alien Conquest was a one year deal. It's possible there won't be a space theme next year. There's been no hint of one so far, which really sucks. I can deal with the lack of spacey stuff so long as LEGO has some more awesome Creator stuff in the works, Make more train engines LEGO!

Mister_Eel posted:My 7 year old daughter loves LEGO. She doesn't pick out sets based on colors or brick types. All she cares about is which sets have girls in them. That's it. Ive always been shocked they didn't do some sort of LEGO Zoo line. Zoo enclosures lend themselves perfectly to being standalone sets, but can also be integrated into a larger modular theme, everyone digs animals, and so long as the sets are diverse you have equal appeal to boy + girls (of all ages, some LEGO tigers please). An amusement park theme could also have the same appeal, and both lines would work well together giving people a bit of that "Oh god I have to buy everything and put it all together into a mega thing" drive that some of the modern and licensed sets are missing.

Aww, of all the LOTR castles and towns they seemed to have cherrypicked some dull stuff (except that helms deep, once the set is finalized I think it will look a ton better), but no Bag end or any of the inns or Im dissapointed.. Ill wait an extra 5 minutes before buying all of it anyway

It has begun. You're going to build those and then say "You know, that fire station would look pretty good here", then you will see the mini modulars set.. you have opened the gateway to hell.

Rare Collectable posted:http://legocuusoo.posterous.com/minecraft-lego-cuusoo-project-passes-lego-rev-54968 Hey guys whats a good idea for sets where you build with squares? A sandbox game where you build with squares! Watch, it will be a 3500 piece bucket set with a few special prints on a few of the blocks and a big ol "Minecraft" on the front... with an even bigger "Special set" pricetag.

ChesterJT posted:I'm thinking of heading back actually. Looking at the dwarf, what would be the easist shape to feel for, the round shield? On second thought it looks like that gladiator has one too. The hat then? Definitely feel for the helmet. I know this as an educated guess because I am a well adjusted and mature adult and definitely don't have one of those staring at me from under my work monitor at this very moment. Edit: got one of the bandit minifigs from the new series this weekend, he is now holding up the passengers of my Emerald Night. Awesome minifig.

Wow this post made nostalgia hit me like a sledgehammer. I never got any of the big sets (except the spyrius robot  ) but I always got the micro sets. I'm sure I have all these bits still, I should throw this together tonight. Maybe I'll put my aquanauts sub back together while I'm at it.
