New arrival at my place.

Back to pouring over the Lego website!
My son would go NUTS for the Fire Brigade...
I'll be moving into a new house at the end of November. Any advice on moving a large amount if built Lego sets? I am breaking down about half of them and mixing the parts in one giant plastic bin. Monster Fighters Castle, Mad Scientist, Ghost Train, 3 Tripod Invaders, a bunch of misc. Atlantis sets, and the Falcon, Luke's Landspeeder, and a bunch of Clone War sets. I'll rebuild all those later. I still have all my modulars, Batman, Avengers, PotC, and Harry Potter stuff assembled.
No idea how I'm going to transport this stuff. I'm moving the family myself and it's about 10 minutes away on the other side of town. I'm open to suggestions!
I've found that there is no good way. I'm moving apartments later this month and intend to just set my SSD in the back seat of my car and walk it in. For the modulars, you may be able to just separate the floors and box them with some packing material, but otherwise, you're likely going to have a tough time with this.
Would be interested in other opinions, though!
Disassemble. Box em up. Rebuild!
It's time. Hitting the LEGO store today. Hoping to come away with Haunted House and B-Wing. Is the Winter Cottage out yet?
Winter Cottage is available to my knowledge. Also, very intrigued by the B-Wing. It looks OK, but it doesn't scream UCS to me. :\ Thoughts/opinions once you get it!
There isn't a whole lot they could have done with it too make it more elaborate than it is I think. It's just a simple design, so you got two halves that are essentially same put together. It's a very big ship once put together though, much larger than your standard sized Lego SW fighter craft. Wing span is 15" but the length is about 26" or so, and comes with the stand for display and plaque.
Uh oh, Death Star no longer listed on Wal-Mart.
Say whaaaa?
I need to call my LEGO store pronto.
Ugh, I need it to last until the end of the year. This worries me though.

Hitting the Nashville LEGO store Friday. I gotta keep it under $100 and I don't know which set I want to get...
* Mini Modulars
* Winter Cottage
* Shuttle
* Vampire Castle
I'm leaning towards the Mini Modulars since you can only get them at the LEGO store...but I don't know...
I am going to be in Nashville on the 15th. Would it be possible for you to check out the place and tell me if the sets I want are there or not?
Star Wars Imperial Shuttle
Tower Bridge
Winter Cottage
Haunted House
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
I would totally do this if the disassembly process wasn't a SUPER bitch on these big sets.
I disassembled a number of sets for my move this past month and some of them were kind of annoying. In particular I hate any set that has you stack a plate on top of a plate of same size, it's hell on the fingers after you do a bunch of those in and amounts pulling entire sets apart.
Hnnngh. Must. resist. more. LEGO! I'm invested in getting my custom Mini-modulars so that I DON'T have to buy the full sized ones! (I got no space!)
Besides, I need to save for the Hobbit sets which should be out pretty soon. My goal is to get a full set of Dwarves+Bilbo+Gandalf.
the other two are for friends
GOLD SQUADRON.liar
you know you're going to build them and "pew, pew" around the room with them.
More voting please! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=42694358
Less voting. Less entries. I think we need to give the MOC contests a lil breathing room after this. Maybe a post holiday one. This one just seemed to slip in without notice.
Less voting? Less entries? How do you want to enforce people not entering a creation? Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
I was meaning in relation to the first contest. My wording was odd. Sorry.
I was referring to the fact that the second contest had less entries than the first, and less traffic in general. It took people a while to vote in the first one, but the new one feels like a graveyard. I think we should give a breather between contests next time, because I think this one just kind of snuck in compared to the freshness of the first one.
Although, the entries in this one were much better than the first one. Even if there were less.

I need either joust or the passenger train to be back in stock.
It seems as though there are a ton of spoilers for the Ninjago cartoon show revealed here. I personally don't care, but I've been watching the show with my daughter and I don't think that any of these scenarios in the descriptions have happened yet. Most of it sounds fairly generic, but I know for sure that Lloyd is the Green Ninja right now and there hasn't been any mention of him becoming a Golden Ninja. Yes, I am a loser.Ninjago 2013 set info (translated from Japanese, courtesy of Aanchir on Eurobricks):
