Are the pieces compatible with Lego ones? I can't get over how similarly proportioned they are.

One of the awesomest sets around.
That character pack sounds awesome (Nightwing, Katana, Zatanna, Damian, Shazam!), but I really want the LEGO Lex Luthor minifig from Gamestop, too! What to do? =/
I wonder if those characters will be available for purchase via DLC later on?

Yeah that story did get its own topic and was posted here a few days ago.

Oooh, my bad. I don't browse anything but a very select few topics, LEGO being the only OT one, ha. Woops!
They are compatible, there's no point otherwise
I think the KreO build quality is actually pretty good, much better than for instance Sluban - where you instantly notice that the plastic is different, tend to be loose fits, and exhibit a large amount of molding flash residue(!). It's just that the KreO Transformers sets are terribly designed.
I also have experience with Oxford and Enlighten sets, and plan to build some Woma, Cobi and Cogo in the near future for comparison purposes. Hoping to get some Best Lock, Character Building, and Banbao sets as well.
On another note, I saw 2 new Star Wars sets at my local Bart Smit. Pretty surprising - was expecting LotR and Monster Fighter first. Too bad neither of them were Jabba's Palace or the Skiff.

Is each store just completely independent on clearance pricing, the way people here said Walmart is? I checked the one closest to me and all of their AC, HP and PotC stuff seemed regular price, or there weren't any evidence of markdowns and were more than 10c a brick anyway. I wasn't sure what the MSRPs were.
I love love love the Isla de Muerta set. I wish it was bigger, because that entire setting in the first movie is incredible, but I'm really happy with it for $20. The two Barbossa figures and skeleton-faced Jack are great, too.

So Kmart Lego on clearance, are they clearly marked or do I need to go up to the register?
Kmart.com has four Alien Conquest sets on clearance, so if there's any dispute with those four, just ask if they'll match the website price. They're incredibly cheap.
LOOK FOR A CLEARANCE TOY AISLE AT KMART. I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but I went to the LEGO aisle and they didn't have anything marked down. Dejected, I started to make my way out, only to stumble into a clearance aisle packed with PotC. I just got my nephew, whose birthday is in a month, a QAR for $30. Unbelievable. I was so visibly giddy, the woman who rang me out was laughing and excited for me by the time I left.

Has anyone used the in-store pickup option on kmart.com? The AC sets are shown at discount and available for in-store pickup at my nearest kmart, but when I go to check out, all the prices revert to the original price.

I'm at my local Kmart right now, the sales lady I spoke with said they have to switch on the clearance prices in each store.
There is really nothing of interest, to me, in my store. I'm just going to pick up a few series 7 figs.

I remember now I shopped at Kmart once when I moved a few years ago because it was the closest big household goods store to my new home. When I got home and checked my receipt I realized all the sale items I'd bought were at full price. It wasn't worth going back with everything since it was just a few dollars but I never went back.

Figures that the Kmarts in my area don't have them.

I bought the Shuttle Expedition! Thanks everyone!
When I arrived at the LEGO Store, they were in the process of taking down the Hulk minifig promo signs. In a panic, I asked one of the guys taking them down if they had any left, and he said they were "down to the last dozen." So I grabbed the set & dashed to the register. There was a long line, and the whole time I was sizing up the cost of everyone else's purchases. Fortunately, they still had some!
I don't think I've ever done a set with this many pieces solo! (I always built the big sets with my brother.) There are TWO thick instruction manuals!
really surprised they didn't have one ready. Maybe Lego snagged the license at relatively short notice?
Went to the Lego store today, to see if they had any of the new creator sets in (seaside house etc). They didn't.
So instead I bought Big Ben, a friends set for my daughter's birthday, and R2D2. Yes, after dismissing it for having a chunky head I saw it in the window of the Lego store and fell in love. The review on eurobricks helped too.
I wanted two Big Bens but they only had one left. Was going to see if I could scale it up slightly so the clock face didn't stick out.
Edit: I got two hulks too
Marvel licenses for video games are kinda complex.

Shuttle is a great set.
MIX THE BAGS!

Shuttle Expedition 10% off on amazon -__- that is really cheap if you break it down per-piece (1230 pieces!)
I'm tempted and I really don't have room for it... lol

What?????
You guys are so lucky... the 'cheapest' QAR in Holland is 100 euro
I wanted it...but its just too expensive for me.
Heh, after bringing home the little PotC sets, I remembered that I had bought a couple little Prince of Persia sets last year when they were getting rid of them for $3, and put them in a box and forgot about them. I don't feel like digging out the box, but I think it was Ostrich Race and Fight for the Dagger.

Have you had any luck finding Loki's cosmic cube/Captain America or the LotR series? I still can't find them anywhere (Bart Smit/Intertoys etc). Hoping they'll be around in early june then.

Ok, I'm trying one more Kmart and if they don't have anything on sale I'm buying that shuttle. I hate what this thread is doing to me.
If you see something and it's not tagged, make sure you bring it to a price scanner or a register to have it checked. They're notorious for not ticketing things in a timely manner.

No I haven't seen them yet. Cosmic Cube and Cap America are available online at Lego.nl though.... so I guess that's at least something.
Loki's cosmic cube is out of stock till end of june.
When is the Hulk minifig action ending?

31st of may. You could still add Loki's cube to the bag and order (if you have the patience) It still counts.

That price seems to be a mistake as it is ridiculous that they are that cheap. I believe the Black Pearl was being found for around $20 as well.
Not really interested in the Hulk figure anyway. I'll just keep hitting up local toys shops and checking dutch lego webshops.
Went to my local K-Mart and they had all four of the sets there but none of them came up as the clearance price. Asked an employee how it works if their price is different from the online price and he told me I could order it online and select in store pick-up. All of the sets were more than half off, got the 60 dollar set for 22.50 I think. One of the sets they had in stock wouldn't show up in stock online so I didn't order the Tripod Invader. Just waiting for an e-mail now so I can go pick it up. May double check some of the prices there when I go again.

Hmm, weird, wonder why that didn't work when I tried it.
Saw Gungan Sub and Fury Class Interceptor at Bart Smit today. No sign of LotR, Super Heroes, or Monster Fighters.
Please tell me you brought home the Fury Class Interceptor.
I sure as hell would have!
I saw the entire run of LotR sets in a walmart on Wednesday. They had them all on a display shelf in the middle of the isle in front of the toy section with "NEW" signs everywhere. Sadly I think the only thing I want out of that is the Gandalf and his wagon. Might go back this weekend.

I think he is talking about the (depressing) situation in the Netherlands
ohhh. Sorry dude.
That really sucks considering where the Lego factory is!

Built the first set of the mini modular set, wow I am super impressed by some of the techniques they use. Please make more in this fashion!
It's nice but I'm going to spend my LEGO money on Jabba's Palace, Skiff, LotR, Monster Fighters, and R2D2. And I wouldn't buy it from Bart Smit anyway

Has LEGO ever commented on (what I'm sure is a popular question) if they plan to release mini-modulars for the current batch of modulars?
Even better, LEGO Game of Thrones. *drools*

"The Broken Tower Playset"
Agreed. This set really got me fired up for Lego again. It's fun, and I love that it's broken up into 5 different tiny builds. <3
In other news:
Snagged Gandalf Arrives and The Mines of Moria today at the OKC Lego Store. Will post pics when built.
Also got the Hulk minifig. Simultaneously adorable and badass.
