It's probably been mentioned a couple of times, but BBC America is playing the LEGO episode of James May's Toy Stories this week. I think the next showing is Saturday afternoon.

Anyone who missed out on last year's flagship Technic Crane Truck set (8258) it's available again in the LEGO store for what I believe to be its original price of $149.99. http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=8258&cn=57&d=70

 Toys R Us is doing a buy 2 get 3rd free sale on all LEGO (except Star Wars and tubs) Wasn't able to pick up the perpetually out of stock motorized excavator, so I had to make do with a couple of mobile cranes. They'll make pretty good gifts, and at effectlvely $67 a pop, it's not a bad deal. Also apologies if this has been posted already, but according to the LEGO store, the Tower Bridge set being released next week is set at $239.99.

toaster_pastry posted:I was disappointed to see that the Millennium Falcon isn't available from the lego website. Was it discontinued? It was on sale very briefly back in May for the obscenely low price of $375 (MSRP $500), but now I think the only place you can get it for under a grand is on eBay.

I guess I could be lucky too if I stopped buying so many smaller sets Luckily I have a nephew who I can buy smaller sets for, while simultaneously satisfying my need for smaller, non-living room occupying builds.

A Bad Poster posted:
The Denver Lego store, coincidentally on the last day they were available. That store was pretty much the only place in the country that still had any at that point, because one of their big resellers had ordered 20 or so and then backed out. The deal was sweetened even further by the store honoring the online clearance price so I got $125 off as well

EvilJoven posted:You think that's bad. A similar thing happened with my uncle. He had TONS of comics, in great condition - early Superman and so forth - but was constantly under pressure from my grandfather to get rid of them because they were taking up valuable space. Finally, to appease him, my uncle burned them all and lost what would be worth thousands of dollars a few decades later. To make matters worse, when my grandfather died, it was discovered that he kept EVERYTHING - every useless scrap of paper and receipt he'd ever collected. I'd be much sadder about this if my uncle wasn't a dick

einTier posted:The guy answered that question in the article. Basically, it's impossible to do what you want, because the LEGO minifigs are very fat for their height. You either have to have less people inside the plane, or you have to have the proportions of the plane distorted. Just make them all pay for two seats.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this; it's a page from the 1988 LEGO catalog that my mom, for reason's best known to herself, has held onto for the last 23 years: As a HUGE Technic nerd, I had (actually still have) everything on this page except the tractor and dirt buggy, and the test car was my pride and joy - a 10th birthday present my dad swears up and down he would never have wasted a whopping 58 pounds on.

Bought my parents the Taj Mahal on sale last year for $200 for their 40th wedding anniversary (my mum loves Lego and my dads from India, so I thought it appropriate) and against my better judgment, let them open and build it. And now... http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002EEP3NY/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1312474577&sr=8-1&condition=new

Lots of purply goodness here, but not a great deal of variety. Of the "normal" pieces, there's just 3x2 plates and 4x1, 2x1 and 1x1 bricks. So buying that VW though

Dead Alice posted:I bought the City cherrypicker today, and just noticed that the number plate stickers match up to the product code. Little touches like this show up pretty frequently in Lego sets. The Technic Tow Truck is labelled "Wabra's Road Service" and has the license plate "UW34AP", while the Crane Truck is labelled "UW Lifting Service" and has the license plate "W4-BR4". All of these elements are in reference to Uwe Wabra, the designer of both models (he was 34 when the Tow Truck was released, not sure what the "AP" in the license plate refers to).

Shin-chan posted:They said in that lego documentary that was posted a few pages back (the police station one) that the license plates now correspond to one of the set designer's initials and the set number. It's possible there was more than one designer on the set, so they included extra initials. The Recycle Center set comes with 2 different plate stickers, one for each vehicle. Both have the same number (set number) but with different initials. Ah, didn't think of that. Probably this guy then.

Just picked up all 16 KRE-O Transformers minifigs, and I am in love. They're a bit different from their Lego counterparts; they have quite a selection of custom accessories (cannons that attach to the arms for the Seekers and little tires you plug into Optimus's legs, etc.) and the arms and legs are all on individual ball joints. They even rotate at the hips. Because of all this they do feel a bit flimsier than Lego figs and are a bit harder to get to stand up, but I'm ok with that because they're more for display purposes and I doubt I'll be reenacting too many Cybertronian battles at my age. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend if there's any interest. Red posted:I thought I'd share the instructions to a small classic Space Police set. Before I realized this whole image was flipped I thought "Space Police" was written in reverse so that space offenders could read it in their space rear view mirrors
