Peoples' reactions to the hobbit sets remind me what a sucker I am for scenery.... I'd totally buy multiples of each of those if money were no object.

I'm actually a bit interested in both smaller hobbit sets considering the amount of minifigs. Definitely bricklinking radagast. Necromancer looks a bit boring. What's the msrp on those sets?
I was considering going but decided not too, guess i made the right decision. Nice pics though. I actually own that black technic sportscar.

Been disassembling sets today to make display space for Ewok Village. Thankfully the village fits on my bookcase and only hangs off the edge just a little bit.
So far the sets to die and join the infinite are Constitution Train Chase, Black Gate, and soon much of the Galaxy Squad stuff.

41050 Ariel's Secret Treasures (comes with Ariel and Flounder, a colorful underwater gate and a treasure)
41051 Merida's Highland Games (comes with Merida in a dark blue dress, a light yellow wall with door, an archery target, and a bear cub)
41052 Cinderella's Enchanted Carriage (comes with Cinderella, one white horse, the coach in light blue with golden wheels, and a fountain)
41053 Ariel's Magical Kiss (comes with Ariel and Prince Eric, a pink rowboat, and a nice brick built "water-station"?)
41054 Rapunzels Tower of Creativity (comes with Rapunzel with long hair, Flynn, and a brick-built tower in light grey with dark pink roof)
41055 Cinderellas Castle Romance (looks like a LEGO version of the Playmobil Dream Castle, with animals, Cinderella, Prince Charming, a pool, a swing in the garden, light grey/ white/ azure castle)

I need pics! I have no shame in saying that I am excited about some good looking Cinderella sets. One of my favorite Disney films.
Now give me some Sleeping Beauty sets with a brick built version of this sequence:
Heck, some Sleeping Beauty sets might actually get my wife to build with me. Last summer when I hit the LEGO store at Disney World, we both were in awe of the brick built Malificent dragon they had outside.
Not sure I want to collect another theme...hmm

There is potential for something truly amazing in the Disney Princess theme. But I fear it will fall a bit short. A whole lot of mediocre, cheap sets, but with one gem hiding in there.
Is Astrid working on these? Because her work on Friends line has been fantastic, and would translate extremely well to Disney Princess. And after Ewok Village, I would love to see Marcos Bessa try his hand at a Disney Princess set like a castle or something.

Im seeing these and for some reason wanting a Kingdom Hearts set now. Heck i would take the sets as is but with a Sora fig oddly placed in each box. Might be akward with that Ariel rowboat kissing set.
But your negative reviews are a great read!
Yeah, I totally remember it being like that the first 6 months at my store when it was new. New stores also get last priority when it comes to ordering stuff for PAB. I know this from the assistant manager at my local store. She always keeps a look out for stuff I am looking for and she told me she would order a lot of popular stuff but it wouldn't come to her store. Only in the last year has the selection gotten much much better.

I honestly like the new hobbit sets... they look great especially since the orcs look alot cooler than the LOTR orcs
So I found out today the Columbus Marathon is going right in front of my house on Sunday. Really made me want to make a marathon MOC to put outside during the marathon just for shits and giggles. I'm not going to though because there is not enough time. I will, however, be getting up early so I can get across the street and take pictures of all the runners passing the house.

Marathon moc is easy. Get a few road base plates, then add hundreds of mini figs.

These are standard minifigs, not minidolls? I'm really excited for these sets to get for my non-existent daughters!

I wish these were coming out in 4 years time so my daughter could get them. They don't interest me in the slightest.

These are LEGO and not DUPLO, right?
Correct
There is potential in great pieces for these sets. That Cinderella carriage with fountain could be really great and the Ariel rowboat with wate pieces could be great as well.

Went to my college town target yesterday. First time I had been there in probably 7 years. Was checking the LEGO section out and found almost a full selection of series 8 minifigs. Grabbed 6 feeling each one. Picked up skier, batboy, Santa, businessman, deep sea diver and fairy . Just need pretzel guy now to complete series 8!

Definitely interested in the new Disney princess sets, when can we expect pics?
I have pretzel guy, just PM me and we'll work something out as one gaffer to another.

I'm expecting pics of these, and all of the 1H 2014 LEGO sets, any time in the next couple weeks.
OMG!!!
A castle or something, lol...
The Magic Kingdom!!!
Could you imagine! Disneylands' Castle! Wow.
A display and playset to end all display and playsets!!!

I'm reviving my broken fire brigade from where it was in storage. It was broken in a bag in many medium chunks with maybe 100 loose pieces. I made a ton of progress without consulting the instructions.... so much of the design just makes sense it's like it rebuilt itself. Anywhere more than 5 pieces were still attached in a clump it was pretty easy to find where they went.

I can't believe I'm actually excited for a Cinderella castle.

After watching Gravity yesterday, I am all excited about LEGO Space theme mini-figs. I am curious if they are going to replace Galaxy Squad with something new or will they skip a year and ride out the inventory. You guys can have your girlie Disney Princesses stuff. (Secretly looking forward to Little Mermaid, my wife love Disney and this might just get her into enjoying LEGO).
There is a list floating around with descriptions of 2014 LotR sets. Now, if you recall we got a bogus list for the 2013 sets previously, so I am doubtful on this list.
The Mirror of Galadriel Includes Frodo in a plain shirt and Galadriel. There is a small mirror and a statue. $12.99
Amon Hen Ambush Includes 2 Uruk Hai, Boromir, and what he believes is Merry. Small set of steps and the palantir tower. $25.99
The Defence of Osgiliath Includes 2 Orcs, a Gondor Knight, and maybe a Ranger. Small orc boat and ruins. $39.99
Witch King Showdown Includes the Witch King, Theoden, a Rider of Rohan (Eowyn), a white horse, and a Nazgul. Also includes a Fellbeast and small grassy area. $59.99
The Battle of Minas Tirith Includes Gandalf, 2 Gondor Knights, maybe 4 Orcs, a troll, and possibly Pippen. Set has 1 large gate at ground level, 2 smaller levels with a small house and the citadel. Also includes an orc catapult outside the city. $119.99

I am bewildered at the lack of a balrog set but in my dreams will buy multiple osgiliaths and a minas tirith and one of everything else.

And dat wheel barrel!
Actually never paid attention to the mushrooms until now. Makes me more excited.
I got the Thanksgiving set just for all the food pieces.Loved the lighter shade mushrooms with Ewok Village to compliment the red ones from other sets.
Yes, I will be pimping Ewok Village HARD now.

Star Wars AT-TE, sadly I ordered it before the Amazon sale ... I knew I should have just go for the Ewok's Village set. I got Batmobile and Harley Quinn set from TRU (both on sale which means they are just regular price).
Sounds fun, but i am somewhat doubtful as well.

For 60 bucks with only a grassy patch of ground as scenery, it better be.
Would be nice to be able to round out The Fellowship and Theoden without having to spend $200 to get Helm's Deep and Mines of Moria.

Minas Tirith could be good...let's hope so.
And Lego, please bring back the raised baseplates. I viewed that stuff as liquid gold as a kid.

I realized that I never got my free Clone Commander or whatever it was when I bought my Ewok Village. Maybe the store was out of them. My brain was more on getting the free holiday set.Star Wars AT-TE, sadly I ordered it before the Amazon sale ... I knew I should have just go for the Ewok's Village set.

That's a good concept, but I like the finished product more. Do you have the website where he talked about this concept?
