A store near me had the Hogwarts Express and Toy Story 3 trains on sale for $60 each.

They no longer have them on sale :smugdog:

I continued to rework stuff on K MP's Mad Max mod for the F&F charger until I was happy with it. They got the shape of it so right, it really doesn't look all that different haha, but I actually did do a ton of work on it, I redid the backend entirely which was pretty bare bones, and reshaped the windows to look a bit closer to the real thing, replaced the windshield, spoiler, redid the tanks, added the tire, made the tiles consistent and reinforced the whole thing. At the end of the day I can't take credit for about 80% of this, but I feel like I have the (almost) perfect speed champions interceptor now. I'd still like to figure out a way to make 1x2 gold vents work for headights, but I need some parts and I'm still not sure it'll look great. Also getting all 8 exhaust pipes in would be nice but the math doesnt really work without them taking up way too much space.

Dear Lego,

When am I getting the following movie vehicles to put next to my Delorean, ECTO-1, Tumbler, and Optimus Prime:
- Jurassic Park Tour Vehicle (No this one doesn't count)
- V8 Interceptor
- Herbie
- Tardis

I want more movie vehicles that don't suck
(Ps redo The Batman Batmobile)

Tiago's review sold me on a set I was already sold on. The rest of the reviews really nail it in, the set seems to kick some serious rear end.

Solid Brix Studios did a great review where he brought the set out into a forest (his backyard) and it really shows off the colors.

It's the first non-Botanical set in a while that is a "must buy" for me. I'll probably wait to see what other GWPs are available in the future after the Bionicle... tribute... that it doesn't qualify for anyway.

I'm not a Lego Building guy, but that's a HELL of a nice looking set.

You say that now, but when it gets released it will have morphed into a Doctor Who IP set where it’s a blue police box that unfolds into a life-size bust of David Tennant and it will inexplicably be on the shelves for years at a $350 price point.

Can you post a link to where I can pre-order this set?

Honestly yeah. Shelve space is a premium and mini set pieces would be a dream.

Saw this on Reddit: a B-model for the UCS Hulkbuster that is... a better UCS Hulkbuster. Apparently it is quite stable and still fits the smaller Iron Man figure inside like the original. It's just better! What a flex of a B-model.



:laffo: that's such an amazing flex on the original design.

Went from 40% accurate to above 90%.

It probably looks better in person. But yeah, they should have put fewer pieces into the base and focused more on the castle proper.

I mean that is the castle, and the castle grounds.

I remember spending a lot of time in the gardens before entering the castle when I was there, and the walls were a prominent feature.

Solid solid set.
