We need a new contest to celebrate the new thread.
Got through the 2nd bag of Quinjet before I had to call it a night. Really interesting build so far, and I have a sneaking feeling this beast is going to come together really nicely in the end.
I collect Super Heroes sets mostly, so I'm used to some lackluster builds, but I can already tell this is some next level shit.
You think it's good now, just wait until the wings get put on. So glad the Quinjet influence keeps spreading.
It's a small and quick build, but good SNOT work and character to it. For me it is the price to fun ratio that makes me love it.So I'm wondering why LEGO GAF likes the space swarmer so much? I love Galaxy Squad... But not the alien bugs ...don't hurt me!
Ok, that does it, it does indeed look good in every aspect (but the colour). Every time I get close to collecting them all they announce a new one I desperatly want. This is true for exclusives, the architecture series and now modulars.http://youtu.be/r_VroKcBFqE
Photobomb incoming!
Not happy with the photos as they were taken in a hurry, I missed a few things too like Raphael undercover, the A-Team van close up and the Terminator.

I guess the planets are done for?

That's still a fantastic set-up and finally one where I can understand all the references.Photobomb incoming!

Many a picture.
That, however, is not so fantastic. I really liked those planets. Series 4 was really, really good. The new sets sound more like a battle pack reboot.Yes. They've been replaced with a new small theme. The first scheduled sets are:
75034 Death Star Troopers
75035 Kashyyyk Troopers
75036 Utapau Troopers
75037 Battle on Saleucami
I'm still selling my 8043 Motorized Excavator. I got an offer for the VW Camper and cash in-between. Somewhat tempted, but I really don't know what I would do with it. I still think a cash offer is better, so I can put it away for buying something like the restaurant without a second thought.
Random question: are the Technic figures to scale with the camper?
Pic bomb of doom. Doom's pic bomb.

Actually those are battle packs. The Planet sets are being replaced by what are now being called "Microfighters". These are small chibi-style vehicles (though larger than the Planet vehicles) paired with a related minifigure. The sets for 1H 2014 are:
75028 Clone Turbo Tank with 501st Clone
75029 AAT with Battle Droid
75030 Millennium Falcon with Han Solo
75031 TIE Interceptor with TIE Pilot
75032 X-Wing Fighter with Pilot
75033 Star Destroyer with Imperial Officer
Also, bravo wetwired! That display is absolutely amazing! I don't know how you are ever going to top it.
Hmm... Are there pics of these?
Here's a picture showing the height of all modular buildings. The Parisian Restaurant is the shortest by a little bit. I really figured the new modular would've been a corner building going with the pattern but guess not.
Heard that there were some restrictions on the latest 10% off Lego Store coupons. Does anyone know if the Winter sets are excluded?
Thanks for this. The pattern dictates that this would not be a corner. We had the theater released last year and it was a corner. We will get two straight and then another corner. The restaurant is the first straight. Cafe corner - green grocer - fire hall - grand emporium - pet shot - town hall - cinema - restaurant. This follows the normal pattern.
Fire Brigade is the only one I own, being sold on Amazon for $150, and if Parisian Restaurant is also $150 then I'm almost certainly getting it. The piece count is higher than Fire Brigade!2,400+ pieces for $189 CDN...that is crazy.
Regular Modulars are $199 up here while Town Hall is $249.
I welcome this change.
It's a small and quick build, but good SNOT work and character to it. For me it is the price to fun ratio that makes me love it.
However, Hive Crawler still reigns. Did you get that one yet?
Not yet but have been considering it
