Had to use my $5 bucks I had at TRU and the Academy set was half priced so I couldn't say no to it. Maybe the book will explain how we went from Exo-Force (mechs with knee joints) to what we have today (no knee joints)

I was thinking meh, so we get sets closer to MSRP with essentially 20% off each set if prices are the same. But seeing that some of the $10 sets (MSRP) are valid for that offer makes it actually good. Those Chima Legends $10 sets count so I may pick up a few more of those. Some of the discounted Speedorz are also a good deal.

The police state continues! Seriously, I want a city park or something. At least Friends is there to fill in the gaps.
I'd like to see sets you wouldn't expect. City Dump, EPA Inspection Van, City Highway Construction (strangely sans construction worker figs)

At least we have sanitation stuff from the LEGO Movie sets.

School, offices (business suit minifigs, but they have nowhere to go), low rent apts, night club, movie studio or radio station, retail stores like Brick Depot, pest control, etc
ZOO !!!

How about a Circus line? With a big top set. How about a racetrack set? How about anything but fire and police? They sure like to play it super safe. We could even use more amusement park sets...
I cautiously want them all, but Galadriel and true form (white wraith world version?) Witch King? Instabuy.
Witch King needs a Fell Beasty. And we never got an Eowyn figure. Holy crap at that Smaug set. I smell Goblin King all over, will wait on that one. Especially if Smaug isn't brick built.
I'll be getting them all, the Smaug may not be the grand piece we'd like him to be, but dammit, it's still Smaug and I'll be kicking myself once they discontinue it if i've never bought it. JUST like I have been with the Dino sets.
Also for those more in the know... are the Star Wars sets finally coming to the USA on Aug 1st? I've been saving up!

Circus would be a great theme! Animal moulds can be shared between zoo and circus.
ewww, 858 pieces for 130 dollars :/

Dat Smaug mold. Probably only set it will ever be used in, so they are gonna milk it.

Getting the small set for sure. I'm hoping that "true form" means his black, crowned version (in case we never get Pelennor). I don't see a reason to get more of Lake-Town (skipped the first one). The third set is probably the battle so it depends on which figures we get. Last one heavily depends on how interesting Smaug is, but it is indeed overpriced. In a best case scenario, it would translate to costing the same as Palace Cinema here.

Seriously, from now on any sets with special Big Figs, I'm buying.
I just built the figures from the Hulk Lab set and Hulk is amazing. The dragon from the current Castle theme is just beautiful. I'll probably get both of the large Spider-Man sets, one for Dr Doom and JJJ, the other for Green Goblin. Gonna get the LOTR set purely for Smaug.
I'm so pissed at myself over the Dino sets I will never let a good Big Fig pass by again.
As far as the new Star Wars sets, they will absolutely be available by Aug 1st, with some stores receiving and putting them out as soon as they get them (AKA, any day now).

Smaug set is indeed overpriced but hopefully Smaug will be worth it.
JULY HAUL!
S@H arrival day!, My haul along with a separate package that arrived from LEGO. Some Ghostbusters set signed by the LEGO Ideas team and the official designers and the card used in the reveal video when it was first announced!
One of the signed sets will also be signed by myself as well and up for grabs (most likely via a raffle) at the BrisBricks October show in Brisbane with proceeds of the raffle going to charity.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Started working on turning Haunted house into a modular. This might be a long and extensive project and if I can't get it to work I might just turn it into a Green Grocer. We will see how it goes.
Can't figure out how to share my images from Flickr now. Stupid site. ill update some time later.

Shit. I don't need that game, but I need that figure.

So cool. Hope you are able to raise a lot of money for charity. Definitely would be cool to have a LEGO Ideas set signed by the LEGO Ideas project designer and the official LEGO designer.
LEGO Batman 3 game preorder GameStop exclusive:
Oh snap
Very tempting. I have a strong preference to the "underwear" classic look though. I'm on the fence. Good price for game would convince me.

1) pre-order game
2) buy game and get minifigure
3) return sealed game for full refund
4) ????
5) enjoy your Plastic Man minifig!
Nice. And now we europeans will just have to hope it somehow becomes available here

Wish I could afford to buy like 3 copies of every lotr set I don't have yet, including out-of-print ones
Guess it's time to consider building my own fell beast.
Star Wars won't be out in the US until August 1st.

YMMV, we've been telling people we're getting them today, though I'm not working today so I don't know if they actually came in. But they'll be available everywhere Aug 1st.

Where do you work? I am wondering if Target or Toys R US might have them out in the wild yet?

Lego store in LA. But back when Arctic and Agents came out, we got them ahead of the "official" release and put them out, while other stores in CA didn't have them yet, so I dunno? Unless otherwise instructed to, we put out sets as we get them, so it could have to do with shipping and other stores not getting them in yet.
