Quinjet bought for £70 from Argos. They were the only website selling them at RRP.
I just need to pick up mini figures for hawkeye, captain America and hulk. I might get the avenging cycle set for caps which will also give me 2 more Chitauri and their ships to see up a big battle with the Quinjet. £12 is the RRP but the cheapest I can see online is £20.ill hunt round the shops this weekend to see if anywhere is still selling it.

built Metalbeard's Dual last night, the micro manager is cool but I didn't especially enjoy metalbeard himself. it reminded me a lot of the big Ninjago samurai mech, lots of fairly jaggy cheap-feeling parts (brickset describes the colour as W.Gold, these bits always feel like garbage to me, I don't know why) and pretty rubbish posability. Also there's a flag which doesn't stay up on it's own so I had to add a part myself to keep it in place. Poorsauce
This is compared to a couple of Galaxy Squad sets I did earlier in the week which were great.

If you have no interest in the sets I totally understand just getting the figs. For the Hulk one though it doesn't seem worth it in my opinion.
Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout is a really nice play set and features both Hawkeye and a big fig Hulk. I loved the set, personally...but I know others weren't crazy about it.
The new Hulk minifig explosion set is pretty tempting too.....there's also a Hawkeye polybag....
The first Cap set is pretty lame...
Whereas the new one comes with a Red Skull which is pretty cool

So which Modular goes out of print first? Town Hall or Grand Emporium? Trying to time purchases right.
I want Farnsworth since it's likely disappearing soon. I just looked on the S@H site and speaking of keychains, I saw this:
I'm not at all interested in the steamroller set so this is awesome!
My 4 year old daughter has been making "batgirl" with her lego minfig pieces for a few months now, I told her a while back that there was a real batgirl coming out. She's been so excited since I told her that she asks if it's out yet so she can get it. I ordered 2 last night off bricklink, I've yet to tell her it's coming.

I'm really glad they are releasing more Simpsons stuff.
$104 for MechDragon and Quinjet at Target with their 40% off deal. Good deal?

Quinjet is so good it hurts, you'll never want to break it apart and put it back in the box.
also today i've received two packages..... Happy Birthday to me!!!
Really interested to see what comes out. I'm not a huge fan of how those figures look, but I'm willing to be won over. The "eyes open" Homer looks a lot better, so I might pick him up. As for who's going to be included, Milhouse would seem to be a given. As much as I want Hank Scorpio in there I don't think that'll happen. Also they could hold back characters like Burns or Apu for future sets.
Only the CMF series for now, but I hope they follow it up in 2015 with more actual sets.

I thought about the helicarrier breakout but I don't need another marvel plane plus the set doesn't interest me that much.
I'm hoping with the release of the new set that Hulks price will drop on bricklink.
I'll try and find the hawkeye poly bag cheap. Thanks.
I want the first Caps bike set as I want that figure for the Avengers line up. The red skull tank does look cool though.

At only $20, that Red Skull tank is looking like it's trying to be the Marvel version of the Luthor power armor set.

Any last roster theories? Really hope we get an Itchy & Scratchy.
HYPE!
I was not a fan of the Simpsons house itself, nor the lazy eyes of most of the minifigures. However, I'm a huge Simpsons fan and cannot wait for this minifig set

Weren't there rumours that town hall would be next despite it being released later?
BentBricks

Wow! It's a rare sighting of the mythical beast - the Mars Kitty Cat Rover!
Stuff of nightmares.
I compare more to the Wolverine Chopper Showdown. Both sets are all about the minifigs with a nice vehicle. The power armor stands on it's own and could have been a set by itself if you made the cockpit a head.

Happy LEGO day to you!
You must be in Europe to get the Rapunzel polybag.
To those in the US, Walmart is the retail store carrying that polybag. Reports of people finding them are showing up. Many are finding them in the Easter aisle.

You guys think the new Batcave is worth the 70 bucks it's going for? It puts me right at the door steps of getting Martian Manhunter. I was planning on getting Joker steamroller and Riddler chase but since those sets just came out they should be available for a while. I'm just worried that there will be a better Bat Cave released in the near future
BentBricks
Member
You know they will rehash the Bat Cave again if the Super Hero line goes on for another 5+ years. Question is do you like the current Bat Cave? Poison Ivy and Bane are the only other reasons to get it. I think you get the same Poison Ivy in the Arkham set.
I got the Batcave, but only on discount. The drill vehicle is pretty cool.

Just divide the 60 distribution by 2. This is why the distributions are now even numbers. White Fang on eurobricks always has the review of CMFs and distribution.

Just as a set the bruce/bat transformation feature looks worth it alone but I don't have the set.
New TMNT poly:
I want it!

New ball joints, eyes, and plant in action. Lots of NPU in this MOC.

Shredder's Lair review is still not up though.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the distribution was just half of the box of 60.

Funny enough, I bought that set and actually have just the jet built (my other MOC Hawkeye minifig is piloting it while BW is in the Quinjet) and I thought it was worth it for the Hulk figure.
Will see the new Hawkeye poly but again, if doesn't look like my MOC version then eh... I don't want to have to hunt down another tennis player minifig for the hair. Hunted down 2 of them to MOC both Hawkeye minifigs I have.

Palace Cinema on the way along with my free Martian Manhunter.
I had a huge, $500+ order and then realized that next month is double VIP so I decided to wait. In the meantime, I may try and snipe some of the cheaper Marvel and DC sets from local stores this weekend.

Palace Cinema will be mine next month with double VIP. I'm debating whether to get VW Van too since that might go away this year.

Speaking of poly bags, I bought the Batman Tumbler one at Target last week and put it together at work. It rolls really nice, I like to slide it back and forth on my desk as a sort of stress reliever.

Anecdotal evidence but there are hardly any town halls left in my local Lego store(leeds) and there are tons of pet shops.

I'd wager a good portion of the regular crowd here is over 30.
You should get last year's Batmobile off eBay. It complements the Tumbler.
This LEGO City Coin Bank looks great. I'm gonna add it to my next online order.

No sympathy from me! I've got 7 years on you and am taking my grown up wife out for a 10th anniversary dinner tonight.
The trick is hiding your addiction and pushing it deep down so nobody ever sees it again. What did I secretly do today?

All you young Lego whipper snappers. Back in my day Minifigs only smiled and had yellow faces.
My wife thinks I'm nuts and not actually 40 with all the Lego stuff I've bought recently.
