They can include a sound chip with that horrible jingle ("best friends forever") that plays over and over in toy shops. Psychological warfare right there.

Huge thanks to Diggeh! Got my Regal PJ Emmet with this aweosme note. Also, consider this positive feedback if you guys ever want to make a trade with him.

I assume you know about exporting the brick list from an LDD file?!

I do now! Thanks
They all look great, especially for parts.
Shame we cant have a minifig scale jungle explorer theme again instead though!
Buy 75 dollars worth of stuff, they usually will run out sometime in the later half of the month for the busier lines (Star Wars), so I'd buy in the first half of the month.

My Battle for Endor set just arrived! It felt like a good point to jump in to start an 80's nostalgia shelf, considering that I mostly knew of Return of the Jedi and its related characters when I was growing up.
Gonna build it when I get time.

Looking like June for those sets. Super Secret Police Dropship is $70. Benny's Spaceship! Spaceship! SPACESHIP! is $100.
Here it is with a crappy iphone 4 pic. VV is definitely a favorite, much thanks to the mech.

Always nice to see more Galaxy Squad love. Such a shame we aren't getting more of it.
Where do you think we'll see some plans of a third wave? In a future magazine interview or something of that kind? It's a cool theme.
Friends Nine-Nine, coming to a network soon...
I think I'm doing the same. Bought it at Target today, but I'll keep it sealed then go to the Lego Store on March 1st, get the Hulk Set and maybe one of the Iron Man 3 sets I never picked up or a Turtles set and get that Manhunter fig for free. My Lego store takes a looooong time to get new sets. I got this today because a. I'm impatient and b. just in case.

That will probably be what I get in March to get the Martian Manhunter figure. I need a big Hulk, and that one has purple pants!
I'm also going to get the Doc Ock Truck Heist, but I think I am passing on the Electro set and definitely passing on the Spider-Copter.
The Pengiun and Joker Steamroller sets look enticing though...

After watching Jang's videos on the mixel sets I think I'll probably only be getting the fire and electric sets. I find they have more pieces I want than the rock sets.

Thanks for being awesome!
It's all done. I think Galaxy Squad was a great theme. Two waves is fairly standard for non-evergreen themes with a few exceptions such as Ninjago and Legends of Chima. I just hope they have an oversupply of Galaxy Squad minifigs and make a battle pack (doubtful). I want a ton of Galaxy Squad troops in each color.
I'm eyeing Ultra Agents as a suitable replacement until LEGO's next homegrown space theme. It has a sci-fi super hero vibe. LEGO's version of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Agree on the Electro set. I usually pick up that cheapest set like that, but I'll wait for at least 20% off to get that set. I only want it for the Electro minifig which I think is cool. Not sure why the Electro set is so pricey. I'd grab it if it was around $10.
I do like the electro minifig but that $12.99 price point is outrageous for such a small set. I bought it though. Wish I'd waited and got it at the TRU Buy 1 Get 1 50% promo.
(which btw is still running. get your butts to TRU)
Thing that annoys me about spider-man sets is they don't do any alternate printing for Spider-Man himself. In other themes, even in TMNT, they do some print variations. Couldn't they do some battle damaged costumes or something? There's lots of things they could do.

Wow, so much fun stuff there. Imperial Flagship, the 2009 pirate ship, the Corsair ship, some modified modulars...

Only $100 for that huge ship? That's cool.

Didn't realize that the new Marvel Superheroes sets were out now. Does the X-men set release along with the new film?
The real shame is the cancelled Alien Conquest second wave. I'm still bitter...

At 100$ the spaceship is a definite buy for me (well 100 but still...)

Damn, between all the new DC & Marvel sets I don't know what to choose for the Manhunter promo. Not to mention that I really need to buy the Jedi Defender-class Cruiser (#75025) before it goes OOP.

Jedi Defender. One set and you get the Martian Manhunter figure. Easy.
That's true. The Jedi Defender is a TRU exclusive and will be hard to get a sale price on. The new Super Hero sets will be everywhere and should be discounted 20-30% in a couple months.

Retail question: I lost my physical VIP card.
Can LEGO store employees look up my info, or do I need to request a new card be mailed to me?

Yeah, I wanted the "60's Batman" from that set, but then thought otherwise after seeing the price. The only thing I can see that may make that set more expensive is the new mould used to make the massive wall and printing on it.

http://brickset.com/parts/6063256
I like the retro look of the 4 stud wide Batmobile.
EDIT: 2 more new moulds. $25 would be a better price. I'll wait for 25% or more off before I bite.

I finished Battle of Endor after a rather lengthy build. There's a ton of stuff in here, and since it was used, everything was mixed.
I mostly got it for Endor Leia and the Scout Troopers. I will set up a little diorama later on. I will use one of the rebels with a new face for Luke, and oh yeah, Leia needs a new face too since this set uses the older style horrible squinty faces. That white eye reflection did a huge difference in making figures come alive.
Still, the catapult is actually rather cool for once since it has a ridiculous range. The seller didn't send the wings for the flyer, but they're rather cheap to get, actually. In the meantime I'm using some spare corsair sails so it looks proper evil. And the AT-ST was a great build. Actually I'm thinking of keeping it around. The parts are rather specialized and I still have the original toy of that. Only problem is that I might need to get an X-Wing too...
The base was mostly a rather confusing build with a ton of technic pieces, but it eventually comes together nicely. The sliding doors are a great function and it's cool how you can blow out walls. It's just a little weird that the back walls mostly just lean in there.
Aside from the old-style faces, this is an excellent set and it can still be had for quite decent prices. I bet it would be totally awesome along with Ewok Village, but let's try some restraint here...
I might try to collect the figures I had as Kenner originals. As well as Han Solo, R2-D2 and Endor Leia (oh, and R5-D4 which I got along with this set), I had X-Wing Luke, Darth Vader, an Imperial Guard and a Storm Trooper. Most of those shouldn't be that expensive to track down.

I can't believe they are releasing this set so late in the year, I got a feeling this could be the best seller of all the LEGO movie sets, everyone I talk to that has seen the movie wants that set, they are not even into LEGO but it reminds them of their childhood's sets. I feel the hype might be over by August and the potential sell of this set to casual people by that time might be greatly diminished.
I am not exaggerating here, I was listening to a podcast the other day one the host mentioned that he saw the LEGO Movie with his kids and really wants to buy the Spaceship, this was a non LEGO podcast BTW.
So LEGO pls release the Spaceship nao!!

Part of me thinks delay in those sets were to avoid spoilers.
For those nostalgic like myself, we'll still buy even if it comes out later. 2 of those 3 sets are also the most expensive sets of the theme (not counting Sea Cow which is in a class of its own). August release times it well for a possible XMas present for kids since the price points are so high. Also, this is around the time the DVD/Blu-ray would be released to refresh interest.

I need it. Give it to me!
Also great way for LEGO to give this to the speculator market:
I love it.
If it's as glorious as that one, I will take off work and camp at my Lego Store. 100% Certainty.
And I just ordered 7865... Oh well, guess they'll be different enough, one is a play set and the other more of a display piece...
