Well this just ruined my day. Ghostbusters was my first obsession as a child. I watched the tape so much I wore it out.

It's even more sad because he was so much more than just Ghostbusters.
Just look at all the classics in his filmography

I just built all the red Mixels. Flain, the middle one, is my favorite.
Those are awesome! Did they come in blind bags or did you know what to buy?
Any idea when those are coming to Europe/Netherlands?
RIP EgonThose B&M Galaxy Squade bargains were great, got the following
70705 - Bug Obliterator - £25 (£60 rrp, currently £36 on amazon)
70709 - Galactic Titan - £40 (£80 rrp, currently £60 on amazon)
they had a few of the smaller sets aswell, warp stinger for about £15, Crater Creeper for £8. No eradicator mechs at my shop though
edit: gah, somehow I've lost the stickers for the obliterator in the time it took me to open the box, pull out the bags and have a wee look, flick through the instructions and then pack it all all again. I'm a fanny, I wonder if TLC can do me a replacement.

They are not blind bags. Not sure about the release. I got them a couple weeks ago at my local lego store. They were $4.99 (USD) each.

Is there a point to the clear square in the bottom left of each package?
I'm cross posting from the RIP thread here but I think because of my recent involvement with Ghostbusters and their lego versions this has hit me more than it would have normally.
Man what a kick in the guts. I don't think a celebrity death has affected me this much before.
What a weird morning. I had borrowed a really legit looking Ghostbusters costume off a friend recently to get some photos. He dropped in at about 5:30 in the morning, I had also found a cool 1:18 scale Ecto 1 really cheap and was getting one for him too.
We were both standing in my driveway while he was showing me how loud the proton pack could get and how it could play the ghostbusters song while I stood there holding the model. Some joggers ran past and must have wondered wtf was going on. Just before he leaves he goes "did you see one of the ghostbusters died?" I go "what?!" and "yeah spengler"
And then I just stood stunned while he drove off. Fuck.
Then I saw this pic on twitter, taken outside of the ghostbusters fire house in New York
Streams were crossed this morning.

Was never doing to be good timing hearing this news but seems more poignant given the anniversary and LEGO announcement.
RIP Egon.

RIP Egon
I think every time I see Egon on screen in any of the films I get happy, so this bums me too
On a Lego note though I picked up some Chima legendary beasts (thx for the heads up again). I got the wolf and gator. the gorilla is the last I want but Target wasn't carrying them.
I'll build them tonight and will most likely use the wolf parts to build up a chunk of my mech that's missing.

I wonder if he ever found out he was being made into a LEGO because of you.
Supported and I'll post on a couple boards! Good Luck!
Tis a sad day. RIP

So I was at Target on Sunday and they had the last series of minifigures with maybe 10-15 left.
I go today and they had the new movie CMF set...and all but one were gone. I snagged it and got the Hardhat Emmet, which was one of the two I was most looking forward to.
I really debated getting the Death Star Troopers set and/or the A-Wing and/or Anakin's Starfighter but ended up figuring I'll wait on all three until next month for the Manhunter.

Ugh. So I am building the Cinema modular finally and man it really is a disappointment. I am about to start book 3 of it but man I really am going have to totally tear apart this set and totally redesign it. I am not a fan of it, as is. It has an incredibly boring facade so far. Glad I decided to do this before winter cottage (which i may wait till next christmas on) or haunted house (which I may wait on as well) Either way, gonna have to find something to forget about this build. I still have all the Hobbit sets and LoTR sets to build so theres that.
Edit: just so you know, modulars are still cool, its just compared to all the others, this one is a letdown.

After seeing the movie tonight, I need more of those Lego Movie sets...especially hyped for Spaceship SPACESHIP!

That'll be my first modular.. Sounds disappointing.
I wish but it sounds like he's been pretty sick lately.

Would be really cool if he did know.
Naw, I've built Town Hall, its better than Palace Cinima. Yeah its not great but Palace Cinema is on a way worse. I own 3 Town Hall sets and I plan on rebuilding it bigger and designed to stand alone in a central square so that it will be interesting all around.
PalaceBrother
Member
I agree. Town Hall's first floor is more interesting than the entire cinema.
Been hovering around that price since the 20th or so. I suspect many of us have this set by now, but if not, really should pick one up. It's already a fantastic deal at $20, at $15 it should be an instabuy.
Another similar set, Spider-Cycle Chase, is also in that price range right now. The build isn't as good but it has a very strong minifig line-up with Spider-Man, Venom and Sam Jackson Nick Fury
Also Cloud Cuckoo Palace is back in stock, I know people keep mentioning that it's sold out everywhere (as with many LEGO Movie sets)
BentBricks
Member
Don't undersell the vehicles in Spider-Cycle Chase. I really liked Nick Fury's green car. It looks slick and has some cool techniques with the hover wheels and hidden flick fire missiles. Spidey having a motorcycle is ridiculous to me, but it's a nice bike. I think kids would like it a lot.
Cheapest and currently only way to get classic Superman and Wonder Woman. Unknown if we'll ever see the classic Superman costume in the future since the comics and movie have Superman in the new costume.

I've been considering the set since I saw the movie, never had any interest in it before. I wonder if that's the case with most people.

Whelp Cloud Cuckoo Palace sold out on amazon already
That just means you need Lord Business's Evil Lair so you can get Bizniss Kitty.

Oh, I wanted Uni-Kitty before I saw the movie. It has unique head print and a tail I've never seen before. Not sure if that tail is new or not. I want Uni-Kitty even more after the movie. I would be happy with just the Cuckoo set Uni-Kitty. Only other version I really care about is Space Uni-Kitty.
Move over Hello Kitty! Uni-Kitty is coming to town!

That's the kinda crazy stuff I want to see using those new Mixels joints.
Oh, the Palace was in my first LEGO movie purchase. But the latecomers are now devouring the kitty cuteness as well. I would like to get her variants, but the lair is at the bottom of my list. Would like to catch it on clearance for $40 or less later this year though... We'll see.

yup, just bought them 2 days ago in cologne (lego store) - 3,99EUR
I enjoy it... but Marvel is where the series peaks. I can't speak for LEGO Movie game yet. Next time I see a good deal for the Steam version I'll snag it.

Tax time is coming, better get Business Kitty too.
Except for that 2nd last level, that was really dull.

I 100%ed it when it released. Had a blast with it but the end game to complete it was a huge drag. I'll be getting The Hobbit game on release probably from EB Games for the mini figure. I don't even know when it releases.
EDIT: EB Games shows my age... >_< Gamestop I mean

LOTR is my second favorite LEGO game after LEGO City Undercover.

I got a big raise starting in April, so I'd like to get something big. Problem is, there isn't really anything I want currently. I think I'll set aside money to get both the Spaceship^3 and the construction mech though.
I may have figured out a way to get another 100 cm of shelf space for modulars, so Pet Shop might be an option, maybe along with building Cafe Corner or Green Grocer from scratch.

I just look through my limited Super Heroes stash and I realized I don't have the dark suit Batman, where is that figure from? (the one they use in the movie).
I am curious if they will do that Batwing from the movie.

Hit up the Hillsdale San Fransisco location today, but they were cleared out of a lot of stock. Found a Mixel which we haven't gotten in Canada yet, but none of the new SW battle packs. Ah well, at least I got to dream about the low US sticker prices compared to ours.
Worth noting that Jabba's Palace was down to $95 from $120....not sure if that's a recent thing in LEGO shops.

Ugh tracking for my Sea Cow says it was delivered earlier but I've been here all day and no doorbell rings and nothing at my door. I'm hoping it was a case of the delivery driver being lazy and scanning early, but it's getting kind of late now and still nothing... This is after an estimated delivery of Saturday, only to miss that obviously. I hate Fed-Ex, why does Lego have to use it. Anyone have experience contacting Lego about situations like this?
A few new tidbits (like pictures of the GotG sets, and the TMNT movie sets) of info in the LEGO Toy Fair retailer catalogue:
