AstroZamboni posted:Here's just a reminder to everybody that there IS a LEGOon Facebook group. Request sent! Stopped by the Tysons Corner LEGO Store today and scored two of the special edition space minifigs (being given out with purchases of $75 or more) because I know one of the managers. If any NoVA goons are curious, they've recently switched a lot of sand and green bricks and plates into the PAB wall.

Ted Stevens posted:Aw man, if only I knew about that going on. I live about 40 minutes away from there. I would have gone there and checked it out. It looked pretty sweet. I found out about it the day before, so I was there. A lot of very cool stuff. I also managed to find an unopened Indiana Jones Jungle Cutter set from one of the vendors. It did get fairly crowded, though.

RKOMG! posted:Jesus, they've got to lay the place out in such a way that it isn't utter chaos. Agreed. It was a complete mess about 15 minutes after the doors opened. Even more so if you went over into the vendor's corner after the first 45 minutes or so.

So I finally broke down and bought the Imperial Flagship set today. Spent 9 hours sitting on the living room floor with a pile of pieces putting it together. I must say, it was quite an awesome build and has a ton of detail. Now I just need to dig out the directions and build my Black Seas Barracuda from 1989 to sit next to it. The double VIP points I got from it didn't hurt.

For any NoVa goons, the Tysons Corner LEGO store found a pile of set 8080 Undersea Explorer and they've put them out for $11.98. Well worth the investment. They also have another mid-sized Atlantis set from last year for $8, but I forgot what the name is.

Togaparty27 posted:OK! I Love Lego's!!! Dang that feels sooo much better! First step's always the hardest. Now go get some sets and just start building. It's gotten to the point for me that my wife and in-laws usually just get me LEGO for holidays, since they know it's a safe gift that I'll definitely love. I just got some dinosaur sets for my birthday, and I have to admit, I kinda like the dinosaur figures, even if they're mainly one giant piece with legs and a head.

Torael_7 posted:I solved the "first step's the hardest" problem by just up and buying literally a thousand dollars worth of bulk by the pound lego as well as some sets in one go. Don't ease into it, go big or go home I have tons of LEGO from when I was a kid. And I've bought a whole lot more since then. I think my wife would really like her dining room table back at some point.
