Seeing it in person, the set is HUGE. The scale is glorious and has me so excited to buy it next week. I just got a lot of display shelves, so there is now a big empty area awaiting new Rebel ships.

And if you have some discounts stored up, you can get it under 100 easily. For a UCS set! Brand new!

Hope he doesn't get into trouble. Appreciate your posts Chuck. How often do you work at the Costa Mesa location?
:x
I'll be fine though
Never so far. I thought I might cover a shift or two there but I've only been there once to check it out. It's so small!

Wait... what episode II set is this?!
The first three minifigs are from the Republic Gunship. Derpy droid is from the JEK-14 Starfighter.

I'm sitting on $100 VIP credit right now. Since hearing about the discount I've been checking out pictures and you're right, the thing is massive. What to do, what to do...

old "Clone Wars" Yoda:
New Yoda looks dope. Like an actual action figure head.

I was THIS CLOSE to buying either the Iron Man 3 Malibu Mansion set or the Batman Joker's Funhouse set this afternoon, but my wife ended up talking me into getting neither until I finish my unbuilt CUUSOO and mini-modular sets.
I shall continue checking Target for that last Quinjet to go on clearance though...
I can't find series 10 Minifigs anywhere! ;_;

$5 B-wing!
p.s. X-wing is coming along very, very well. Absolutely Fantastic build so far. Probably my new favorite build. Pictures of the whole build tomorrow when I finish.

Oh, pics cant give justice to how huge it is. And wih that much credit, just order it. Next to nothing out of pocket to give yourself to the Dark Side.

If I get the B-Wing I'd like to say I'd have enough self will to say X-Wing would be my only other SW set but who knows. Those two ships were my favorites when I was kid (remember having micro machines of both and taking them everywhere, swooshing) and even though SW doesn't mean as much as it once did to me, I'd like to have them in LEGO form.
It was supposed to be credit towards Orthanc but I don't think I can pass this up.

When is Dolphin Cruiser due out? Didn't someone say May 1st before?
That's a summer time set. Definitely not May 1st.

I am happy because it means I can save money next weekend.
I am sad because I want to buy it ASAP.

Minifigs from the upcoming SW sets are leaking via eBay:
Those are some cool looking minifigs. ARGH! LEGO finally gave in to the transparent body parts gimmick. It just makes me want a Fantastic Four set more. Invisible girl with some invisible body parts!
Don't despair. The street date is May 1st, the others are just lucky that some retail stores released them early. You won't see them at any LEGO store until at least May 1st.
Heh.

I juuuuuust started getting back into this lego thing thanks to a friend who posts in this thread.
This is bad because I have too many bullshit expensive hobbies already, BUT
That B-Wing. If that's legit 50% off I am down like a clown.
When do these things usually drop? Midnight? Morning? Noon? Random?

Had to look that up. I hope so. Not sure how good a minifig would look with a trans color body.
This is the first link I saw looking up Force ghosts.

So how early should I think about being in line at a LEGO store for a big launch like an UCS set and all the other sales? Hour early? More?
I just don't want them to run out of whatever. And also have maximum time at home to build.

I would say 2 hours early if you have the free time to spare (just in case), or as early as the mall opens/allows you to wander about; if that's possible...

Finally found some Series 10 at TRU, they just got a fresh box in. Went 16/16 on the feel search. Wife helped too!
I am loving this series. We did feel up the rest, but no gold Anyone have a clue if Gold replaces another, or if there will just be 61 in a box?

A minifig will definitely fit in the cockpit. You'll have to modify the seat though since it's 3 studs wide.
Love that old style of Space. Oh, and a cameo by the next item on my rebuild list, the Sonic Robot. Such a crappy, crappy set
I went to the Billund Legoland back in '94, but obviously we didn't visit the actual offices. Is it open to the public? Any chance of a "press" tour if you're a decently dedicated blogger?
AFAIK it is only open for employees, company guests.

I was not aware that the Orlando Lego Store did engraving on the brick keychains. I was told it was the only store to do it, too.
Did anyone know this?

Holy crap! Want.
I couldn't resist. I went back to Wal-Mart and snagged the last Vampyre Castle for 70 and the Mad Scientist set for 35. I may go back in a couple of weeks just to get Ghost Train so I can have all the MF series, but I ain't sweatin' it.
Posts like these make me wish gaf had a 'like' button. I started out the same way. I've stopped buying games for the most part and I don't buy nearly as many blu-rays as I used to. It's all about the brick.

The MF is so awesome, i really hope that we'll get something else from LEGO for Xmas

Just wondering HP, but do you have every Harry Potter Lego set?
I wish. I entered the game too late. It was only a little over a year ago I got back into LEGO, and it was because of this thread. Browsing the thread one day and I saw Diagon Alley. Went out and bought it that day. I've been collecting some other HP sets since then but most are too damn expensive.

lego sent an email to vip member telling them to have sneak peak of may 4th and may 5th offers, but besides showing the Han Solo minifigure you can't see any discount on the sets, kind of useless email
Holy LEGO!
