While out today I grabbed ten more series 7 figs. Got another Red Riding Hood (urgh. That gives me 3 :( ), 2 more hippies, 2 more computer nerds (4 total now), another Space Marine(3 total, but I wanted more), and finally new figs: Tarzan, Viking Woman, and 2 punk rocker chicks. Now all I am missing for series 7 is the bride but in no rush for the figure. One bride from Town Hall is enough.

I've got an extra bride if you want to trade.
 
At our LEGO store there is a "Minifig Whisperer" who, if you ask him nicely, will feel out the bags and tell you what fig is inside each one.
No Lego store here in ct sadly. I knew I had the new figs like Tarzan, Viking girl, and rocker chick. Also knew what to feel for space marine and how to avoid merman as well for next time. But that computer programmer trips me up each time.

But the bride is cool!

Anyone else think the S@H (US) site is being misleading with the Double Points promotion on the collections? It makes it sound like all of them, even uses the LotR Helm's Deep Collection image link for it. But when you go to the VIP Promotion page, it just has 4 collections listed.

Of course maybe it just bothers me because Helm's Deep is the one I'd want to get.

I think it's just a temporary glitch. I tried adding the set to my cart, and it's telling me they're experiencing technical difficulties right now, and some promotions may not be appearing.

I was thinking of getting in touch with support to ask them about it. If that is true and I can get 2x Points, free shipping, and the lil' Sop... I will bite so very much. That would make me happy. Of course if I didn't already have Weathertop and Shelob, the full LotR collection with the discount is a great idea too.

Even the full Monster Fighters collection is tempting me right now. But that would have to be my only purchase this month.
 
Today's haul!

Very happy with the R2, Sopwith Camel, Seaside House and Big Ben purchases. The store had a completed Sopwith model on display and it looks GREAT, bigger than I expected!

I was not a huge fan of the Monster Fighters range when I first saw them but they look pretty cool in-store. The Mad Scientist lab is great. My gf really wanted the Vampyre House so that's the one we got to start with.

I had no idea there was an Iron Man kit. It's almost all special pieces and doesn't really look like LEGO but it looks awesome anyway and I love Iron Man so for $15 I couldn't say no.

Our cashier was kind enough to ring up the whole haul as multiple transactions so we wound up with FOUR Sopwith minikits :)

Usually the Sopwith wouldn't interest me on it's own but for some reason I think it'd go great on display next to my Space Shuttle Adventure set.

How'd you score so many mini sopwiths? And come back when you're done with the iron man mech thing, I've got the batman and joker one and was keen to pick up the iron man and hulk ones.
 
Went to the Lego store today and picked up the Sopwith, Gandalf Arrives, and the pick a brick Batman & Robin. They had the Sopwith on display, it looks awesome, can't wait to build it.

Debated getting the Quinjet, but decided to wait until the next freebie promo. Thought about the beach house as well, but I think I'm gonna try to get that on sale.

Also completely forgot about the VIP minifigs and Big Ben or else I might have/probably bought those too.

And all the modular talk now has me contemplating getting Fire Brigade. This thread is a wallet killer...

Hoooooly crap, I didn't even know there was a Monster Fighters collection. With double VIP points... That's really tempting, but I'd have to wait a few weeks to get it. Nothing in between... I wasn't too keen on the MF stuff originally, but the more I've seen, the more I like. Particularly the graveyard, the lab, the castle, the werewolf - fun stuff. Is double VIP just for two weeks?
 
OH. MY. GOD.

LEGO Store grand opening in 3 weeks at the Lynnwood, Washington Alderwood Mall!


So excited to the LEGO Store set! :D

I just hope I'll still be in the state when it opens. It's very possible I'll be getting a job in Madison, Wisconsin very soon. D:

Nice, I hope you can manage to get one. I'd love to get one for myself. I pray they open a store in Monterey, CA, some day.

We have a LEGO Store in the Bellevue Square mall as well. It's literally 20 minutes south of the Alderwood Mall one. I live right in between both, so 10 minutes north or south and I'm at a LEGO Store, muwahahaha.
 
One of us. One of us. One of us.

LOL! I always was "one of us", I just can't justify spending too much on LEGO. I'll only buy select pieces that tickle my fancy from now on.


One of us...now join the modular cult! We already have Monster Fighter cults now too!
Modular? Absolutely. Monster Fighter? Ehhhh...no thanks. Not a fan of Star Wars, Monster Fighter or any superhero LEGO stuff.
 
Oh LegoGAF. <3 We so goooood.

Built these over the past few days in preparation for the Excavator I ordered!

Fiancee and I will be going up north tomorrow...I'll probably be grabbing a set then, too. Woooo
 
W00t!! My VIP card arrived in the mail today (hopefully I get to use sometime), and along with it was the new catalog. The bundles that are on the site are also in the catalog, along with the same double points offers.

One thing missing from the catalog: Fire Brigade.

It seems the bell has tolled for thee. :(

When did you sign up? I'm still waiting for mine, and when I'm logged into the lego.com and playing with the shopping cart, it still constantly asks me if I want to sign up to VIP. I thought I did already with my last order....Do I have to wait for my card?

No, you can use your VIP as soon as you sign up. You're in the system, you just don't have a card. It took mine around 2 months or so to show up. Sort of sucks...

Does it still prompt you to join up when you're logged on? That's what was worrying me. Also I can't find where it should show my accumulated points from last order.

Mine's no longer prompting me - I put my order in last night and joined VIP in the process. I have a little VIP image beside my username in the top right where I didn't have one before.

Each item page also shows the VIP points you earn for buying it, although I don't remember if that was always there.

edit - oh wait if I click view my account it still shows the VIP registration page. Never mind.
 
Got my Fire Brigade and Luke's Landspeeder today. Gonna assemble the Landspeeder today, and the Fire Bridage tomorrow.

On a random note, I really wish the Spongebob sets were a little better designed. I'd love the Krusty Krab, but I hate the set that's currently available.

Took mine about 2 months to arrive, too. I made the mistake assuming that if you sign up for the Lego store, that it would also sign you up for the VIP program. It does not, so if it's giving you reminders to sign up, then that means that you're not in the VIP program yet.

As for seeing your points, i think it is on the top right-hand corner when you sign in. It will also show you your reward balance.

Hmm, I just have Lego ID next to my username. I joined with my last order though, or so I thought. I got the TC-14 minifig.

Also when I clicked to register for VIP just now, it says "Complete your VIP Membership during checkout to earn points!"

Ok, thanks, they make it kinda hard huh?

Heck I'd trade you a bride for a punk rocker chick.

Want to keep both Punk Rockers honestly. She actually looks more Glam than punk to me. I dont mind parting with some Red Riding Hoods, Mermen, or Computer Nerds. Do you have any series 5 or earlier figure doubles?

The haul was $300+ and you get a mini Sopwith with a $75 order so our cashier rang us up as four separate purchase so we could maximize our minis!

Looks closer to a $500 haul, unless you cashed in lots of VIP points.

We did cash in a lot of VIP points, got $60 off the R2 unit! And yeah I don't know how much we actually spent, I am afraid to total up the receipts! But I am pretty sure this is the last haul of the year until the B-Wing comes out.
 
Was glad to get home from work tonight and see my summer/June Lego catalog had arrived. Features all the LotR stuff and shows the various deals. It also confirmed that the Battle of Helm's Deep collection is included in the double points promo. Guess I will just wait until the shop gets properly updated to order it.
 
Argh, this thread makes me very jealous :P

Do anyone think the fire brigade will still be available by september? I'll be in the US for a couple years starting september and I think I'l buy a shit ton of lego in the meantime :P

Very hard to say...Getting it sooner than later would be much safer!
 
Just finished building the sopwith camel, holly shit is this thing huge. I hate the wheels but this build was most excellent, and stickers suck.
