Yeah, it's the huge one. From the pictures I've seen, the tower has a pretty decent microstructure. It will take a while to arrive from Japan though, so I can't comment until then. I'm rebuilding the Neuschwanstein Castle Deluxe right now, and that's a pleasure.
I never even get the option of free shipping at amazon.it, amazon.fr and amazon.es. You guys are lucky. It's either 6-7 on it/fr or 10 on es (2-3 day shipping though) or paying a lot more for 1 day delivery.
These are usually my options at it/fr/es:
you have to purchase the Amazon Prime deal, it's 9,99 each year for infinite 2-3 day shipping. if you need help, just tell me

Okay, I am back from vacation and off for two more days. I will disassemble something tonight and do a time lapse this weekend. I leave it up to you all:
Sith Fury or Horizon Express?

Wetwired up to 2300 supporters for Ghostbusters. Almost a quarter of the way there!
His Tumbler is also the main hit on the home page of Cuusoo as well.

I've heard of Amazon prime, but thought some people had free shipping regardless (as I have at amazon.de and amazon.co.uk).
But, I did not know that it was only 9,99. Is this deal open to Dutchies and do you need to purchase a seperate prime subscription for every Amazon, or is it one prime covers all?
Horizon express (with power functions if you have them)

I'll toss a vote in for Horizon Express.
You get free shipping from amazons from neighboring countries. So Netherlands gets free shipping from amazon.co.uk and amazon.de, but not from the others. Belgians get free shipping from .uk, .de and .fr for example.
There are still some great deals from .it and .es though which are worth it even with the shipping.

Ah, so that's how it works. I always wondered why many people were getting better deals than I did. If only I were born Belgian.
I recently bought Tower Bridge on Italy for 175 inc., so I know about their deals, just not their policies. The architecture series are decently priced as well, much better than LEGO's prices.
Man I do love that ghost busters set, but I'd be worried about the proximity to Back to the Future. I suppose it wouldn't be in the review cycle until a couple more sets get released, so maybe it'll be alright.

New review period is in June. The mini shops just passed 10k.
Mini shops is an awesome idea, although I think it has a way better chance to pass if the creator didn't insist on real-world brands. As it is, I doubt anything but the LEGO store could be made. I'd be plenty fine with made-up brands for a modular mini-mall.

Release. the. FURY.
Horizon.
Doctor Rodney Rathebone catches a ride aboard the Malevolence?
He's supposed to really fly out of there but yeah I just put him there.
The glow pieces of Monster Fighters works very well I've noticed.
A recent bonus means I'll have no problems purchasing this when it comes out:
I'll get that one eventually too. I was waiting awhile for the second edition to go on sale, but couldn't find a good price for it. It is quite hard to find a sale on Mindstorms in general since so few places carry it.
Yeah, the gitd elements are fine, it's the stickers and the printing on the mummy that are an issue. LEGO is shipping me a new set of stickers for the Vampyre Castle and Hearse from Denmark.
I still need to build the Malevolence... it's in my backlog.
So all kidding aside, is there a real reason that you don't show up in the Top Posters section of this thread? It's really kind of perplexing me as to why you wouldn't show up when everyone else does.... Is it just a settings issue or did you ask the mods not to be tracked or something odd like that? :/

The more I see of the Dino theme the more I like it. Chalk it up as another theme I missed out on :|

Saw this and it made me think of your post from a few pages back:
Looks like they're just missing Johnny Depp and Christopher Lee.
EDIT: How could I forget Gary Oldman as Sirius/Gordon.

Has anyone tried to make one of those Ford Explorers from Jurassic Park with those sets yet?

You can still find it if you look around. I am probably going to be really bad this weekend and use the credit card to get Dino Defense and Vampyre Castle before they disappear.

That's the one I'm eying. Have you seen it cheaper than $190?

I think Warwick Davis is the only one (I don't count Sir Ian McKellen).

Look it up on BN.com. Click "pick up in store" and keep checking zip codes in your area. I finally found a store with it and am going to have them hold it.
Website lists it as out of stock and selling for $200. But if you find a store with it it is $100.

Nothing in stock in my area but I'll keep checking. Thanks.

Just keep changing zip codes. Or if you go in the store they can search stores in a few states and have them send it to your store. That is how I snagged Queen Anne last year. Had them get it sent from a store in New York.

Oh ya? I'll hit up a B&N this weekend and have them do that. Good lookin' out!

Think it only searches a state or two over at most. I know my local one found a store in NY that had Jabba's Palace, but decided not to have them order it in.
But Tigerkiddo got one of my coupons. I am using the other to get Vampyre Castle tomorrow, and then use my wife's coupon to snag Dino Defense from another store if they still have it in stock.
I really should not buy these two since I spent almost ALL my money in NOLA this past week and want to do the double UCS buy on May 4th. But 20% off coupons for these sets are too good a deal before they disappear forever.

That's right, he has Griphook from one of the LEGO sets. But does that really count since the only griphook minifig was from a set for the first movie, and Davis didn't play him in that film, only the last two...

Hmm, ya you're right. That would have been Verne Troyer. Drop Warwick down to two minis.
EDIT: Wait, bump Warwick back up to 3. He was Wald in TPM.

These are two of the three Dino sets we are missing. We need HQ and have Hunter.
Saw the triceratops one a month ago in store and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up.
Lone Ranger available from S@H (and LEGO stores) on the 15th.

Seriously though, I have no idea...
Only on the mobile version. The full site has the real stats. Like the frightening number of posts I have.
I should step away a bit and let others post.

Do you think LEGO stores will get them in around the same date?
EDIT: Don't mind me. I no reed good.

Fury. I'm on the fence with buying a TOR Lego because it makes me sad the game hasn't done better.
