For what it's worth
8534 Tahu (2001) - 33 pieces, $6.99
70787 Tahu, Master of Fire (2015) - 89 pieces, $19.99
I'm guessing removing the canister helped decrease costs.
Not to mention Gali is 87 pieces but $14.99 for some reason.

LEGO has launched their Pirates site, in preparation for the upcoming releases.

The price for peice has stayed the same but the sets have increased in piece count to keep up with inflation. So yes, in a sense, its always stayed this expensive.
That's actually factored into the linked article, and the average price per mass hasn't increased at all. So nope, legos really aren't more expensive in any way.Well, theoretically, but these comparisons tend to ignore the parts size. Generally, there are more smaller parts now, which should have a higher profit margin. How much can a 1x1 round plate cost to produce?
Huh, what is Lego Serious Play? Some sort of package for meetings and presentations?
Just finished Aviation Adventures. Yet another pro creator airplane set. Glad they keep coming out with these. I have the Jet fighter from a few years before as well.

Also maybe they revealing Helicarrier at London toys? Amazing that if it's coming out next month, actual images have stayed secret for this long.
Is this where we're expecting some new set announcements?
I put together all of my Series 4 Mixels, so I figured I would share some better pics.

Infernites - Burnard, Meltus, Flamzer

Glowkies - Boogly, Globert, Vampos
![]()
Orbitrons - Rokit, Niksput, Nurp-Naut
My favorite out of the bunch is easily Niksput. He's got five ball joints on him (arms, legs, and upper jaw), giving him tons of poseability and personality. Second favorite is probably Boogly. I'm a bit disappointed with Meltus--I love his baby T-rex form and his eyebrows are fantastic, but the lack of an opening mouth definitely hinders him a bit. His neck can move up and down, but...ehh.
Oh, did I mention that you can also transform Niksput into a simple Minifigure flying platform? Because you totally can.

I really, really like Mixels.
Hey remember that order I made on bricklink on November 24th. It still hasn't shipped yet and for the last 6 weeks I have been msging them and every time they reply with we will ship it to you this week.....This store does a lot of business too.
Posting some pics of a favorite Star Wars ship / LEGO set, the Tantive IV:
Saw this set at the Downtown Disney LEGO Store four years ago, and it re-ignited my interest in LEGO. It would have been neat if the designers had somehow managed to incorporate a corridor to re-enact the boarding by Vader and the Stormtroopers. Really love the huge bank of rear engines!
I could never understand when some posters in this thread wrote that they had a Lego set backlog. Lego is expensive enough that I figured I'd never have a backlog, as I'd well and truly finish building everything before I had enough money to buy some more.
Well, I still have 2 out of the 4 sets I bought just before New Year's unbuilt, and I'm looking at buying the next one (Galaxy Squad Bug Obliterator) in a couple of weeks, and the buying the one after that (Spaceship x 3) a few weeks later. Meanwhile, I still have a bunch of Classic Space Lego to photograph and tear down, then sort, then MOC the alternative builds pictured on the boxes, as well as build the second build on my Model Team Wheel n' Whirl Truck and MOC another alternative build picture on that box.
So yeah, I get it now![]()
Dude, you have the Star Wars Advent Calendar in your backlog? Building one of those a day with my son was an awesome way to spend 5 minutes each December evening! Are you just going to ignore the "advent calendar" part and build them all at once, or wait until Dec 2015/2016/2017?Oh, we talking backlogs? I could never understand it either at first but, uh..
*looks around nervously*

Yeah man, if it wasn't for the discount I wouldn't have nearly as many sets. There would be no backlog and my collection would be a fraction of what it is, hehI'm glad I don't have a lego backlog lol. Although I'm just a poor college student so I only can afford to get a Lego whenever I really want one. Can't be spending hundreds of dollars on Lego.
I'm afraid that might change when I have disposable income one day, though...

If you don't plan to sell the LEGO Hub Birds set, you should build it and give us pictures and your impressions.

I actually was planning to sell it some day and just find the instructions online since I don't think there are any unique parts, but it looks like nobody has posted them yet?! How is that possible? Did NOBODY open theirs?? Or am I just terrible at searching? Hahahaha jeez!Seconded. Being a massive fan of the Ideas Birds set, I'd absolutely love to hear about the Hub Birds set.

Finished the UCS X-Wing. What a sexy beast it is. Either Mini Cooper or Tumbler is being built tomorrow.
Tumbler next. If you thought you could kill someone with the body of the Red Five Sex Wing, then the main frame of the Tumbler is even deadlier. And then you also blind everyone else nearby from flying pieces that came off after touching the set the wrong way.
But do the Mini Cooper last. Save the best for last.
Lol, I was listening to POA, and I was thinking, "hey! You're just copying what that guy on neogaf said!"
I can't afford to get all the mixels at once, and sadly that left me empty on several from previous series. What I do typically though, is purchase 1-3, usually like my favourite from each tribe from each wave, so your comments and opinions are very welcome on this. Like you mentioned, sometimes the mixels you think will be cool are only ok and others turn out to be hits. Definitely same with me.
So sad, when I finish those 2 I won't have much in the way of backlog leftI built some 20-30 sets the last 2 weeks with the biggest ones saved for last.
Oh btw, went to The LEGO Store today and they had some excellent stuff on the wall. I got a whole large container of black headlight bricks. My stockpile that was destroyed by Orthanc has been refreshed. Got some other cool stuff like 1x2 medium light blue/sand blue plates and some other stuff I haven't seen on the wall before. Looks like they put up the new quarterly stuff.

Wish me luck, LegoGAF. For the first time in a very long time, I'm working on an MOC.
First person to guess gets a cookie.
So I picked up the Tremor Track set from Ultra Agents theme and I really dig the design and aesthetic. The Chima and Ninjago vehicles tend to be very busy looking with a lot of kibble and bits but the Ultra Agents line are simplistic and remind me a lot of Saturday morning serial cartoon. The battering-ram tank has movable punching claw and I love real tracks on this thing.
The minifigures are really nice especially the bad guys. The Tremor guy is just begging to be mod into Ram-man.
Imperial Assault Carrier seems to be the Gozanti-class cruiser based on the description.
The term "assault carrier" is often rather vague...
