I highly recommend the Volkswagen camper van and Sopwith Camel. Fantastic builds, good-sized models, and did I mention they were fantastic builds?

Hmm I'm signed in and signed up for VIP and still don't see the Mini Modulars set in the store. Maybe it's not available anymore? Or I'm blind somehow. Searching for it on the store yields nothing.
bedlamite: That large Sopwith looks boss! Definitely tempting!

I can't stand the fact that people lack any sort of respect for others and their property.

It should come in the mail eventually...But that eventually is a VERY long time. I think mine took like 8 weeks?
Thanks... it's been about 3 weeks. I'll be patient

Picked up a couple of smaller sets at Target over lunch. Got the Shelob Attacks set from LOTR, and Monster Fighters The Werewolf. Had to get something to tide me over until my first big set.
Sometime in July. Can't remember the exact date, but I spoke with one of those dudes at Brickworld this past weekend and I remember him saying early July.
Correct!
Saw the 7345 Transport Chopper & 7347 Highway Pickup too but I'll pace myself & get one a month. Still deciding whether I should get the 10226 Sopwith Camel first though, or the 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van, or the 10231 Shuttle Expedition, or theaaAAAAAAH!!!
What do I do? My wallet can't take this kind of abuse.
Back to the Seaside House, looks like LEGO has some sort of cost savings going on. 415 bricks for 55 USD kinda sucks and what the hell is up with my manuals? No more glossy cover. It's the same paper as the inside pages & 2 of the manuals have misaligned pages. I'm gonna do a piece count tomorrow. Do all of the new Creator sets come with this drop in quality?
I suggest the modular series, like the Grand Emporium , Fire Brigade, Pet Shop
Got them all! Hahaha!

Town Hall!
There are wallets that cry, and then, my friend, there are wallets that bleedGot them all! Hahaha!

Posted a while ago...
Nope. I felt for all of them, so no money wasted. In celebration, I also picked this up...
Hmm, I'd go for shuttle, sopwith, VW camper in that order. Save the best for last
if you only get one, then I'd call it a toss between the VW and shuttle. I think the VW is a beautiful set and a more enjoyable build, but the shuttle is the bloody space shuttle!Gary Whitta

Over the past week my son and I put together this Lego Ninjago Fire Temple set. The dragon went together beautifully and is really great looking! The fire temple is by far the most fragile and breakable set we've ever made. It's beautiful and clever but it broke about a dozen times before we finished. It made completing it quite a slog.
We've put together sets like Endor, Hogwarts Castle, Pirates of the Carribean Castle and other smaller sets and nothing came close to keeping the Fire Temple intact.

Very nice MOC! Almost thought it was LotR related.

You're assuming this shithead can read.
That's awesome, especially since there isn't a whole lot too it, yet manages to present quite a bit of detail!

To go along with my Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium I think I'm going to pick up the Garbage truck. I always liked that and I think it will add to the 2 buildings (and eventual town).

Well, I hope you are all happy. Just ordered the VW Camper van...
It's a beauty
I'd be even happier if you got me one as well.
We should do a legoGAF secret Santa!

Hah, well, the wife might get angry with me if I did that! I'm excited to get it in, though, it looks fun as hell.

Amazon US has Imperial Shuttle for $206 (21% off). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041I0N9A/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Christmas in July, yeeeeaaaaah! Just kidding, but I actually really do like the idea.

No, it's standart shipping. I paid 7 euros for Fire Brigade s shipping, now it's 30 euros for Grand Emporium
It's all fun and games until someone receives a collectable minifig in return for Tower Bridge. I kid. LegoGAF is a trustworthy bunch.

My girlfriend sucks at keeping secrets. I have the fire brigade waiting in boston as a late birthday present when i go back in 3 weeks. Yessssssssss. Oh god what has begun. Dear wallet forgive me in advance.
Wait, if I start a lego cult I don't have to beg forgiveness for buying legos...

Jealous!
My wife was very clearly trying to hide her intention to get me the same thing for father's day. She is bad at keeping secrets.
Last week her car broke down, she got a $400 "red light camera" ticket and our fridge went. $3,000+ later and I received the (lovely) minifigs I posted earlier.
Is it wrong to be bitter about this?

Currently have four sets under my bed. Can't buy any new ones until I chip away at this backlog:
-Quinjet
-Moria
-Weathertop
-Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter
Which one should I build first, LEGO-Gaf?

Weathertop then Moria.
I have the Ghost Train, Alien Defense Force Chopper, and Clone Wars Bounty Hunter Ship. My Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium will be here on Friday. I'll pick up the garbage truck and maybe a police motorcycle while I'm on vacation. I need to do the Ghost Train and reassemble the Monster Fighter sets my kids have semi destroyed over the past 2 weeks, then I'll do all the city stuff.
Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter with Quinjet afterburner with quadwing attachments and Mines of Moria with Weathertop cave below it.

I'd get the Quinjet & Obi Wan's Starfighter out the way first. Then you can begin that LotR goodness.
My own backlog consists of:
- Lego Minecraft
- Sonic Boom
- Fire Brigade
