Just checked my local TRU. I don't plan on buying them there, but I wanted to at least check them out. Nothing yet. Like I said, I've worked there, so I know they have the stuff, it's just sitting on a palette in the back. Talk about bad business. Oh, well, I have $175 in Amazon giftcards to use. Waiting is gonna suck, though.
 
Found this on flickr and thought it was quite awesome

Finished the body on R2 last night, pretty neat stuff, especially how the tools come out. Didn't think I would enjoy that as much as I did.

People who hate numbered bags are going to hate this one however: 10 bag sections. Town Hall had 600 more pieces and only 3 bag sections. However, to me, kinda like it, because I hate looking for one damn piece that I can't find for half an hour.

Hmm, I'm stumped. I know that greenish torso is from a World Racers set, but I can't place any of the other parts.

What are the "world racers"? I don't think I've heard of that.

I've been able to figure out which set the bulk of the pieces came from (the stickered brick pointed me in the right direction). There's definitely some other pieces in there though. I'll post a better picture tonight.

World Racers was a small line released back in 2010. It's been discontinued, but some of the vehicles were cool. Nice score if there's a race car mixed in with your bag! And if anything, you have a fairly unique torso now. I think it even has back printing with a skull logo!
 
I made a trip to the LEGO store during lunch and managed to feel our 3 more space marines, bringing my army of them up to 6. I'm not sure if I want to stop at 6 or get 3 more for a nice 3x3 formation. I definitely need to take some pics soon with each of them having different heads or helmets though. I really love this figure!

It's to teach kids some advance Lego building techniques. Each kit has a theme that has lessons on a couple building methods.

This CUUSOO project looks nice but probably won't get made due to Hasbro's action figure license:

Those look great! Way better than this old Technic set.

Although actually I don't like the broad shoulder look. Especially for C3PO. I'd take the cuusoo head and the old Technic body.
 
Lego clarified why they reject the Serenity ship. It was because of Inara.

The primary reason we have decided not to consider the Firefly IP for a LEGO product is the Inara Serra character, who is a "companion," or prostitute. This character and her profession are central to the story in the Firefly TV series. The character is inextricably linked to the story, and it isn’t possible to produce the model and license the IP without creating a link between the LEGO brand and this character. In this process, we have made our decision for brand fit up front as it is the first logical step in the process; it is upon this basis alone that we have made our decision.

The LEGO Company produces many products that appeal to older builders and adults, and we will continue to expand what we offer for adult fans. At the same time, our products and the IPs they represent must be content-appropriate for a younger audience.

LEGO CUUSOO is a new initiative for us. Opening ourselves up for product suggestions means we must naturally articulate more clearly how we make decisions related to our brand. This is something we haven’t had to do before. Not everyone will be happy with the decisions we make, and people may question our actions and motives. That is one of the costs of being more open, however the benefits and possibilities are far greater. While there will be some disappointments along the way, we will stay focused on the many possible product ideas that are both appropriate for all ages and appeal to adults.

It's nice, but it reminds me that even Creator vehicles are inferior to Model Team stuff. There's just something a bit more childish, less professional looking about all the creator vehicles released so far, when compared to Model Team.

Yeah, I loved those sets.

Still have these two in a bin back at my parents' house:

I've got a bunch of old Lego sets sitting around in my parents house from when I was a kid. They're moving to a new place now so they want me to drop by and try to sell all of it. Probably 90% of all the sets have all their pieces, boxes, and manuals. What would be the best way to go about pricing and selling all the sets? I don't know if Amazon is a good place to judge prices by, but it seems like some of these are worth a fortune.

These are a few sets I've got just to give a reference if any of you guys know if these are actually worth anything, or if Amazon is lying to me.

6278 is a great set with a high desirability and never trust amazon. look up ebay completed auctions to get a better idea of value and maybe compare that to bricklink's listed sets.

I remember seeing all of that back when I was a kid. (I was born mid to late eighties)

I'd be interested in the 2162 set, just shoot me a PM.
