I have a couple of nanoblocks animals that I got as a gift and they are kinda neat but holy gently caress are they hard to put together. The pieces just don't lock and hold like Lego bricks do at all.

Saw the new minifigs at Target. Just grabbed 4, thought for a first time buy I'd be ok. Three loving football players.

Buy 1 Get 1 40% off at Toys R Us this week, and if you spend $60 you get a "vintage minifig" collection of 5, apparently there's a different one every week this month. It appears to work online but not on the modulars or other crazy big stuff.

My favorite part of those 2013 sets is now I don't have to buy an $80 megaset to get "fire dept vs. cat in tree"

Town Hall is a lightning deal at Amazon for $150 for about another half hour. If you miss that, even the regular price is only $180 instead of $200.

If you missed out on the 7877 Naboo starfighter from Target clearance you can get it now for 20% off, otherwise that is about all that's left. Speaking of Target clearance, any idea what they are blowing out post-holiday? Their ad has the bank for $25 on the "these toys and others 50%" page.

smackfu posted:VW van is a fun build with lots of neat details and not too repetitive. It's a little fiddly when it's together though with some of the SNOT stuff falling off if you look at it funny. And the popup part on top I wouldn't mess with unless I had the instructions handy. The #1 thing to beware of with the VW Camper: the loving bags aren't numbered  You should still buy it, though. As for boxes, I can't say I keep them pristine but I have the ones from anything big I buy. Modulars, the Ferraris, Winter Village, etc. When I was little I would cut the fold-up panels off my big sets and also save the back panels that showed you what else you could build. Still have them too.

PriorMarcus posted:When does news of the next modular building usually come out? I'm hoping for a museum or a bank. It's going to be a while. Of all the stuff that leaks these are usually the tightest. On the plus side, it's faster from name of building to pictures to able to buy. Also Northeast US folks: Five Below just got their pile of S10 minifigs, worth checking out if you don't have a Lego store and don't want to get gouged at TRU.

Ehh I can't get that excited over that Winter Village. A carousel and some stands just doesn't stand out for me. If they really want to gently caress over the secondary market, how about re-releasing the Green Grocer and Cafe Corner I'd buy those before buying the movie theater

I do wish the City line would branch out a little more from "here's a couple of trucks and 15 police/fire sets". The little bank a couple years ago was cool, and that of course got made so it could also have cops and robbers shoehorned into it.

PriorMarcus posted:I got a tax refund and was thinking of putting some of it towards the Town Hall. It's supposed to be the next modular that retires but I'm not a massive fan of it, however I do want to buy it before it gets discontinued, can anyone sell me on it a little bit so I can bypass buyers remorse? Buy two and make the other one into Emmet's apartment building

I've got a bunch of my Lego sets on Billy shelves. They will nicely hold two modulars, but not 3. Had to split up the pet shop. Anyway, I'm really close to the Simpsons set. I need: Nelson, Grampa, Chief Wiggum, and Milhouse. I have Homer, Burns, Krusty, and Ned to trade.

Those Target fuckers restocked the Simpsons minifigs and jacked up the price 40 cents. The hell they think they are, Toys R Us? Ugh. Well, anyone got a Milhouse? That's all I'm down to.

I'm tempted to hop on that and just sell the mini model as a kind of rebate. People were getting $20-$30 for the mini VW bus.

Captain Invictus posted:Microsoft estimates they'll have made back the 2.5 billion investment by mid-2016, if that tells you anything. Yeah they aren't doing that. The Minecraft guy made $100 million off of it last year. Which is great, but it also shows how Microsoft hilariously overpaid him (likely with piles of offshore tax-free cash).
