Is that the Galactic Titan? It is what I was thinking. A HUGE mech.
And is it too much to ask for a LEGO mech with bendable knees?

I foresee a glorious fusion of that galaxy squad mech and lex luthor's power armor in the future.
Fuck.
I thought I'd convinced myself not to want galaxy squad sets. I've still only got the tiny lotr ones

I believe that is the Eradicator. The Titan is that big treaded vehicle that splits off a gunship.

Bah! When I think Titan, I think a giant. Of course, the threaded vehicle looks like a bigger set piece wise, but I want a huge mech with insane detail.
Sudden MOC idea...I need lots of purple pieces now. I want to make a Sentinel.
That's a pretty big party boat, especially since the hull is brick-built.
I just looked closer at this picture. The yacht has a water slide on the back side of it. I MUST HAVE THIS SET!
Wait, hold up, hold up..........

Built it perfect, I built a perfect Lego
Bomb the Friends Sets wit' precision my intentions to get richer
With the G H OS T MIND Dogg my buildin'' homey
You's a cold old builda on them posts
Sho nuff, I keep my hand on my mouse
'Cuz they got me on the run
Now I'm back in the Lego Thread
Showin' off the news posts!
New Lego is all that's on that builda's mind
But at the same time my wallets tryin ta go and hide!
So Ima' get smart and get defensive on it
And put together two Tower Bridges for some gangsta bricks!
So now they got us hyped, a bunch of Lego fan
Brothabuilda's wantin' baseplates, Builda's get ready
For the throw down, the brick's about to go down, huh
Me and Bone about to clown
I'm losin' my brickligion, I'm vicious on these stool pigeons
Ya might be deep in the build but cha got the rules missin'
Builda's be actin' like they have it, they out to get the cabbage
I got nothin' but love for my builda's livin' lavish
I got a set named T, its Turtlerinno
I got a Hillside House on the hills, right next to Chino
And I, think I got a black Chima
But my dream is to own a Palace Cinema
Like Bugsy Seagal
and do it all illegal
And get scooped up by the lil' homie in the Regal, uh
It feels good to you, baby bubba
You see ya' vicious for the G's and the sets, brothabuilda!
Now holla as we build,
Forget the rest of the sets 2
Of the best from the Friends side
And I can make you famous, builda's been dyin' for years
so how can they blame us?
I live in fear of a bankruptcy,
I never stop spendin' these,
Legobuildin' G's
If you got sets better flaunt em',
another warnin'
for Legos new sets,
are most wanted!

Nothin' but a brick-built party
It ain't nothin' but a brothabuildin' brick-built party
Now give me 50 bricks, the build is not my destiny
Release me to the sets and keep whatever's left of me
Jealousy is misery, suffering is grief, ya better be prepared
When you builda's build with me
(How does it feel?)
These Legos must be crazy word
There ain't no mercy brothabuildas
You can't break them up
(Right)
You thought it was but it wasn't now go and build
Bow down in the presence of a boss, playa
It's like 'sets, wallets, brick-buildin', everybody in the party doing set slangin',
Ya got to have quick eyes in this world
Ya might get yo' best set before your eyez swirl
Ya doin' ya job everyday,
and then you work so hard
Til' your hair turn gray,
let me tell you 'bout life and about the way it is
You see we live by the Lego
so we die by the interest
You tell me not to pay with my card
now I got to pay it back,
floatin' in the Clearance bin
Tryin' to find sets is whack
They wonder how I live with 5 cards
Good deals is hard to find on my block
Build up anything thats MOC related,
affiliated with tha builda's so we made it,
no askin' questions
I'm trying to build upon it, my Builda Dog and Me, eternally the most wanted

Soooo, anyone know what the new Polybag freebie is for this month yet?
I read on Lego.com that apparently they are now giving away some friends polybag with a 30+ euro purchase of a friends set!
Also some kind of City helicopter bag with any purchase through the online store above 30 euro!
I don't get it though, so there is no general polybag giveaway anymore with purchases 55 euro and upwards then like that Chima bag last time?
I was secretly hoping for some Superheroes Polybag that was rumored hmmm

The City helicopter *is* the February freebie.

Damn it, I was so happy that I didn't like or want any of the Galaxy Squad stuff. So much for that. I will have this Mech.
Now that would be badass

Sorry that I am post bombing this thread. Catching up after being away a while. Does anyone have a better pic of the 60020 set in the background? I think that was the cargo truck and fork lift set mentioned a couple days/weeks ago.

I saw pics of it on a flickr account, but I'm afraid I can't link to it here at work. :/
This may be the link.

Yup, that was it. Thanks
So did they change the way forklifts work now? When I was a kid they used a spring. This imaged looks like a rubber band hanging over the back side of the forks. Looks a little more dangerous to me. I assume the rubber band hooks into where the spring use to hook?

Damn, that's what i was afraid of
Is it just me? Am i missing something or is this polybag a truly unexciting, not to say boring freebie compared to most other Polybags well... ever?

It is boring. That's why you need to spend less to get it :/

It isn't you! I think the January Chima thing was pretty neat, but February's build is lame.

Thanks Ghostmind.
That's a disappointing promo for March (the micro Frigate). That Bespin Cloud Car seems to be a flop-we have a local supermarket chain in Canada that sold them all off for $6 a few weeks back.

Is there no double VIP points in March then?

According to that posted calender it says 25/26/27 march is double vip right?

Ooh, that was rather dense of me. I was looking for a larger banner. Thanks.
March 25 - April 8th
UK AFOL day tomorrow - anyone got plans?
I was going to go down but have had a crazy week and could do with avoiding London. Plus with news that the palace cinema will be in UK stores from 14th feb as a VIP exclusive, and maybe we'll get double IP points in March too, I might hold off.
Still need to fill my pick a brick box.

Damn you double VIP points, why can't you be doubling up on March 1st.

Wonder what the "special savings" are if you find the 4 leaf clover.
Yeah, it was late, I was bored and I thought that a Lego rap song might bring a smile to at least one Lego Thread poster...
Can't wait to use those Double
VIP points for the Palace Cinema during early April!

Equidistant from the Natick, MA store. Or close enough. But once the Danbury one opens then I wont have to pay a toll for the MA Pike to get there.
I dunno, the entry fee is a lot cheaper so it makes sense it wouldn't be as good. I'll end up with it all the same accidentally. In the UK we've got a Friends polybag offer too I think?Damn, that's what i was afraid of
Is it just me? Am i missing something or is this polybag a truly unexciting, not to say boring freebie compared to most other Polybags well... ever?
Well, that'll be a bit cheaper then, so that's good.
Oh, yeah, do you think when you have time you could post a link to those pics you posted of your X-Wing stands and other stands too? I forgot to copy them for reference for ideas for my own stands.
Oh yeah, LEGOGAF, I was able to get 609 pieces to fit into my most recent pick a brick holiday box; I made two primarily identical display stands, for the X-Wing and the Tie Fighter.
*In Master Splinter voice*
I will teach you the ways of the Saver.
First, you must set the wait date.
Second, you must wait until that date.
Third, when that date arrives you must reward yourself for waiting by buying the set you so desire.
I hope that this knowledge will help you save, young future saver!
Edit: Thanks for the Lego Calendar post ghostmind! I will call the store now to get on the Star Wars Lego Club build for my kid!

yeah it shows that offer for me as well, however i hate the Friends minifigs and that car has no special pieces either/looks pretty bad to me as well
That's ok though, i got plenty of backlog to tide me over as is!
Do or Do not. There is no try.
Buy it. Enjoy the hoopla! Don't build it. Wait until 25th. Buy another but with double vip and on the 28th return the original!
Save 15 bucks towards future LEGO!

Apparently on Toys N Bricks, one of their forum members claims to have seen the Lego 2013 catalog and that there will be an UCS X-Wing this year!
And I'm in the process of building the regular one this week... :/

The regular one is an amazing build! You won't be disappointed at all.
We've talked about the UCS Red Leader X-wing a bit here earlier. What we are trying to figure out is just what shape it will take, be it just a big X-wing or a vignette from the Ep4 trench run.
The Ewok Village I have been hearing more about lately, but without something substantial to bring to LEGO-GAF, I haven't presented it yet. So let's add it firmly to the rumor pile.
