So on that note..... We'll see what happens...
Edit: at the same rate as before, in two months Wetwired would have 5902, and Other would have 5194... So if we see this result in two months from now, it'll probably be safe to say that Wet would probably win out... The big question is, can it get to 10,000!!! It has to. There has to be 5,000 Ghostbusters fans that would buy a really cool UCS Ghostbusters LEGO set; even if it "only" ends up being Ecto 1 and the Minifigs, and there have to be 5,000 LEGO fans that love Ghostbusters enough to support the set as well! I just hope that no legal crap gets in the way.
Eh, I dunno. The stadium playsets look fun, and I don't mind their actual looks. It's the hockey players made out of Bionicle-like parts which are hideous.

I would buy Pokemon Lego stuff so hard like oh man just take my wallet Lego and make it happen.
Just imagine: A gym playset that opens up to reveal an arena, with trainer and Pokemon figs! Or a PMD-styled Pokemon village, or a modular mystery dungeon you can rearrange to create your own layout!
*Is totally not in love with Pokemon nope.*
There was a news story recently that Lego were looking to license The Simpsons, so this might actually happen. Would be pretty strange though, their styles don't really seem to mesh.
Imagine kids putting they're Pokemon Minifigs next to their cards when they play the card game! I choose you Pikachu!
19 to go!

Only 17 votes to go now. Wish I could vote again.

It would be really weird if it happened. Especially when you read something like this that's on the CUUSOO wiki page:
"A number of sets based on specific intellectual properties have been rejected because due to the content matter presented. Anything which contains alcohol, sex, drugs, religious references, post-WWII warfare or based on a first person shooter is deemed inappropriate for younger Lego fans."
Seems like a waste of a licensing if you can't even have a Moe's Tavern. Or Homer and Barney without Duff beer cans.

Thought i'd voted for the Tumbler already, but apparently not! Fixed that right now
Apologies gents!
Same - voted here, too.
29 More votes for The Tumbler until 10,000!!!

Edit: on another note: What if we DO get the UCS Sandcrawler!?! Will it split in half for playability!!?
It better!

Finished my Space Police sets (Not getting what's left).
Got Smash 'n' Grab (purple) mainly for the color and price. Pretty lame set overall though. I like the other ones. Lunar Limo and Space Truck Getaway/Conteiner Heist are the favorites. Undercover Cruiser is really cool with the transformation. Should be more sets like that.
(Should have put the dark set on the left in the light instead!)

Tuvoc, FlyingPig, and Harry Potter:
I sent you all PMs about the sets and figures. They are on the way.
And Potter, there is an extra surprise in your box.

Wow!
And NOT to steal you picture thunder, but I just walked up to my Clearance section of a local Walmart, and they had 7 Quinjets on the table for 35.00 bucks each 50% off! Suffice to say, I bought all of them!

mean while in Canada 90$ plus tax
Edit: I forgot to tell you all that there was a mom with a 2-4 year old girl in the cart, and I asked if she has a boy or only a girl, and she says she has a boy, and I say cool, and I pick up a Quinjet box, and gesture as though I'm offering her the box, and I say here look this is the price, and she see's that it's 35$, and says oh! Suffice to say, her box boy is 8 and has a birthday in like 2 weeks or something! Lucky kid!

"her box is 8 and has a birthday in like 2 weeks or something" is killing me right now. I'm a terrible human being.
Two questions:
1. B-Wing coming today. Mix the bags?
2. I've got around 30 sets broken down and in a mess spread across six Sterilite drawers (thanks, interstate move!). I've been sorting them and putting the sort piles into plastic baggies and Tupperware. Any better solve for organizing these as I start to rebuild the mess or am I doing the right thang?

I'm going to mix mine, except for the final bag (the stand parts).
I expect it'll increase the build time but hey I love the hunt as much as the build.

For those who had B-Wing Backorder or in process, check your orders, LEGO is finally shipping those pesky backordered B-Wings
It's hard to imagine that set is over 900 pieces. Must have intricate insides. I'm expecting this set to be $120?

Actually borrowed my wife's new camera last night and took some pictures of my backlog and my current setup. Below you will see my backlog which consists of: 7956, 10219, 10230, 9493, 9492, 4201, 31005. I will be adding the Bwing to this pile when it arrives today. They are all siting on top of the SSD box. It is built.
And here is my main display.
...
Nice setup. Everytime I see the Imperial Shuttle displayed, I little piece of me regrets passing that one up.
Interesting. How many wrestling ring sets do you think they will make? If the quality is decent, I'll definitely get a few sets for the folding chairs and other wrestling props. If they do a classic line with Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Sargent Slaughter, I'd get a few. I only really know The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin from the past decade or so.
I'm all over Nintendo and Simpsons LEGO if they ever do those. Hoping the Simpsons rumor is true.
I admit to owning some of these
I got the blind packs for the figs, but they aren't LEGO compatible.
Also, you have to admit the quality is lacking but I still got them. I'd love for LEGO to get Nintendo licenses, but question how some of the characters would translate.Donkey Kong would have to be a new mould like Hulk. Same with Bowser.
LEGO would have to do custom head pieces for it to work. It would be like the Squidward minifigure. The minifigure doesn't have any tentacles, but once they did the custom head, it was much better (not saying perfect but captured enough of the character IMO).
Then there's this attrocity:

I mixed them. So far I've built the main "fin" and the engine and haven't had trouble finding parts.
I think it would have been a very short build if I'd done it one bag at a time.
Holy moly!
Another swtor character to level it is! (darn it...)
I hope it's more like the sith futy and less like the malevolence (seriously, this set is cursed with something).

Is that a Darth Maul lookin' dude there? Didn't I see another one that was yellow? I remember it had a really dumb name.
Savage Opress?
Yeah, he is from the Clone Wars cartoon. Thankfully, this set has nothing to do with that.
However this minifig looks to be a Zabrak, which is the same species as Maul/Opress.
PalaceBrother
Member
That's the name! Thanks.
Who's the one with the hood?
While I'm not crazy about this particular ship, I really think the ship & figure designs from the Old Republic theme are leagues better than the Clone Wars stuff.

Darn I asked for more of the Old Republic ships so it'll be tough to pass this up when you consider what a great job they did on the two OR ships they've already released.
EDIT: And hella congrats Wetwired, I hope that set sees production, you did a great job!!

Still full price at my Wal Mart. But the stocking cart had more boxes of them to put on the shelf, so I feel like they are emptying the warehouse of them right now. Will check tomorrow if it goes clearance, because I wouldn't mind another Quinjet just for parts.
Sexy. I expect an insane price for it as well.
EDIT: More angles from Toys N Bricks

1) Congrats Wet Wired! I recently added my support on Monday. I hope LEGO can work with DC/WB and bring your Tumbler to retail.
2) Damn it, I never find awesome clearance sets at my Walmart. And I just paid full price for the Quinjet over the weekend for the May 4th promo. But good on you, R-User, for helping that mother out with herbox boy.
Oh hells yeah! Day one order, absolutely. And this is an "SW: The Old Republic" set, no Clone Wars figures at all.

Does anyone have the Prince of Persia set Battle of Alamut? I'm thinking of getting it as a parts pack, it seems to have a ton of useful bricks like the 1x4 SNOT ones. Also would be useful with a bunch of spare flesh colored heads.
