Chuck knows what's up! The pre-remastered ending of Jedi is the best.
Aside from the figs, the overall design of the set was a bit disappointing until I watched the designer video. Totally sold now.

I saw the same stand in Stratford last weekend and am also looking online. I may be able to get a hold of a document holder from work that does the job but won't know till next week.
That was it. Let me know what you find online.

I don't like the X Wing like that. Just looks thrown in there because that was the only space they had. If it were a slightly different angle and if the wings were open I would love it.

Ya it would look better if the wings were open but this is perfect for the narrow shelving in my cat/LEGO room.
I'll take it, but maybe one of the veterans deserves it more.
Sorry but Harry Potter beat you to it with a PM about a minute or so before you.

Give it to Matt. I'll try to round up another.
Ok, looks like its all yours. PM me your address and I'll send it out on Monday.
This looks like a set I'll be waiting for a 25-30% off sale. That's probably close to next year's May the 4th event before it happens.
People are saying this looks like the LEGO version of the Kenner Ewok Village. It's like LEGO took the Kenner model and added another tree, bridge and tons of foliage.

Anyone else with a coupon they want to part with, let me know. Orthanc is calling
Edit: I remember getting that Kenner set for Christmas in 83. Good times.

So, time to share soemething. And forgive any typos as I am stuck using my phone for all Internet for a bit.
About 10:30am this morning I heard a loud bang outside my window. I live on the second floor and I went over to the window and see there is a car against the building. Someone drove their car over the curb and hit the apartment beneath us. No one was harmed thankfully.
But, once the fire marshal and building inspector came, they discovered that the main support of that wall was broken by the car. The apartment below and mine were deemed unsafe, so my wife and I had to pack stuff up (including two cats) and move into a hotel for the next few days until they can repair the wall. And we even had to beg the in laws for money for the hotel until insurance reimburses us.
So, sitting here in a crummy hotel with sub 56k wifi, and two pissed off and scared cats with my wife. Fun times. Honestly never been happier to go to work and take my mind off stuff.
But, there is a LEGO story in this. When the first fireman came up, as he was leaving he saw the display shelf with all my modulars near the door. He immediately saw Fire Brigade and said how much he loved it. Of course my wife and I had to show him the interior, and he had to take pics to tell the other firefighters.
Later when they came back to tell us to evacuate, a few other firemen were with him and they wanted to see Fire Brigade. I feel the local firehouse will soon have Fire Brigade on display in their office soon.

Dude, sorry to hear that happened to you (and your family). Hopefully everything gets repaired and settled ASAP and you get to go home soon.
Love the story about the Fire Brigade though - its amazing the impact that those little bricks can have sometimes.
Yah. It was worth the $2. But worth the hour long wait? I dunno. The toyco sale of 20% off didn't seem worthy, although they do have super star destroyer and possibly b-wing for sale. That said toyworld has 20% off lego this weekend anyway.
They have a crap ton of lego at the show though. Star Wars was not super well represented. No LotR stuff. Mostly city, trains and modular. Neat to see it all set up.
Have some old legacy space models through the years including blacktron, m-tron, ice police etc.
And lots of technic and vehicles.
I'll post some pictures if I get around to uploading them (I don't have a computer, only a phone at the moment!).

Was the person in the car drunk?
The damage doesn't even look that bad.

Nope. Just old. Well, I would guess 60-70. I felt really bad for her though when I ran downstairs to make sure everyone was ok while the guy in the lower apt called 911.
And damage looks ok outside, but cracked the support beam inside and the interior wall of other apt.
I don't think you need to be in a hurry for the Death Star despite it's old age. It's still a good seller. There's 2 other UCS that are poorer sellers that should be going out of print first.
The B-wing was a really poor seller supported by the fact that it had a 50% off sale recently. I think production on this model has already ceased and whatever is left is all that remains.
The SSD is also another poor seller so it should go out of print next after the B-wing if LEGO decides to stop production on another UCS set.

Best Star is too awesome to die! Only set worthy to replace it is my dream Cloud City set.
Would you honestly deny a 5000+ piece Minas Tirith set as unworthy of replacing?

That ain't Star Wars. And is 5000 pieces enough to do Minas Tirith justice?Would you honestly deny a 5000+ piece Minas Tirith set as unworthy of replacing?
That seems to be the case right now. Both appeared in my cart and still appeared when I got my email confirmation.
I'm not sure if this was posted before, but this guy made some nice Warhammer 4k models.

Nope, it was Tigard, Oregon. The employee that I asked about it thought that it was a piece that Lego just recently made available for the PAB wall, so if your store doesn't have it, you could always ask them to order it. If anyone else comes across them, I recommend taking the time to stack the leaves. Because of the awkward shape, it makes a huge difference in the number of pieces you can fit in one cup.
Here's everything I was able to fit into 2 cups:
207 leaves
78 red flowers
139 white flowers
185 1x4 brown tiles
72 2x2 gray tiles
222 red gems
130 1x2 lime tiles
73 purple cones
75 1x2 tan plates
45 1x1 gray bricks with handle
13 red 2x4 slope bricks
3 red 2x8 plates
39 1x2 dark red bricks
29 2x2 light blue bricks
Nice! I hope they make their way to my local LEGO store. 2x2 bley tiles! 1x2 dark red bricks! leaves!
I'd settle for it...
E: Im glad that neither you nor your girl or cats or neighbors were hurt, and I hope that you can move back in ASAP!!!

That's pretty sweet. You may have lucked out. I'm not even seeing the Ironman deal on the site right now. Did you happen to order last night? Maybe got the May and June deal due to it being the 31st.
I ordered around 11PM last night. It was still working today up until a few hours ago. I think LEGO finally took down the Iron-Man deal when they put up their new promo page for Jor-El.

I don't know if I will get a catalog since I recently became VIP, and I don't know if they work in other regions. But I could certainly use one - I just don't know if I will be able to order Orthanc in June or July.
SiegfriedFM

Hmmm. The June VIP offer is 50 extra points for buying Haunted House. Still a rather expensive set.
I found some other insane MOCs. These are atleast 3 years old - might have been posted way back in the thread. This guy is famous for this, right?
Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes
Details about the MOC - I really enjoyed building this one! Its started out as going to be a steam-punk land dreadnought/battleship but evolved into a roaming city where self sustainability and Eco efficiency became the theme. I ended up calling it "Eco-punk" due to its Steamy inspired roots. Several playable features include functional powered treads for movement , full suspension and front and rear steering. Working crane, hanger slides for planes and lift from upper and lowers levels.

Ok, I hate to ask...but what time did you get there in order to nab the set? I decided against going but need to know.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I fully expect this to be rebuilt in LEGO form when you get home.
Glad everyone is okay. Hope you aren't out to long!
I'm wondering if Lego will be rolling out a bunch of Endor themed sets along with the Ewok village over the next year. They did a staggered release for a bunch of RotJ Jabba stuff (rancor pit, palace, skiff and his sail barge [soon]). Hoping they do the same for some Endor stuff and Hoth as well. I need another chance to get an AT-ST and AT-AT.

Passed through Westfield again and picked up a few sets. Got 3 freebies too. Looking forward to the Mando Speeder but will probably have to leave that till tomorrow.
Not shown two rushed PAB's with not a trace of stacking but still got a good amount of pieces I think. I wish my local PAB's had 2x2 light bleh tiles...... Looks like I will hit BL for a bog order.
