A lot of the flying vehicles will have an alternate build. They will also be normal vehicles that you find in the classic City theme. We could see that in the packaging for the sets with the label 2 in 1

That makes sense. Ice Cream van could be cute in alternate build. Needs pics of the alternates.

Super disappointed in the movie sets. Guess I'll buy a modular instead of touching them.

Seems like I'm the only one digging them. It's LEGO designers on acid. The sci-fi police car is just like that Darth Maul speeder set. Looks cool. I think the firetruck mech is cool. Has a transformers vibe to it.
There are lots of interesting parts thrown into these sets. Light bley chicken?
I'll get most of the smaller sets definitely if they reach 30% off. Will wait to see if sets are a failure and grab a bunch of more expensive ones on deep clearance. These sets have a lot of interesting parts which I'm sure will attract resellers.
That tan drill for a giant ice cream cone.
That's the spirit! Lots of moulds in new colors. All those multi-colored ice cream too. I see 4 of those new ice cream holders too.
EDIT: I think I see a set with 3 red new parts in a set that are used in the Parisian restaurant for the plant pot. They are suction cups or something in that set.

I was really hoping for the inclusion of a Classic Spaceman, but I'm still really impressed with the craziness of some of the sets. Many of the vehicles look really vanilla but a few are absolute must buys for me.
Hmm.
First impression is disappointment. I was hoping for more of "adventure in the classic themes", than "taking a classic theme and turning it into a vehicle/mech".
On further review I am really interested in a lot of the minifigs - some great new additions for a CITY build, like this guy:
There is also some new elements, and some new colors of existing elements, but is that enough for me to buy the sets, or just bricklink the minifigs?
If most of these sets have alt modes, my interest level will rise.

I like emm' - I won't get all the sets, but I can see myself picking up several of them. They remind me of what I would have built as a kid. I had a mish-mash of different lines (Pirates, Castle/Forestman, Space Police 2, City, etc) - so anything I built on my own was a kind of Frankenstein creation using bits from the entire range.

Oh man, I forgot about that. Yeah...really disappointed in that. I have a bunch of blue ones from a recent set LEGO put out. I really want a lot of red and white ones. No classic space based builds either.
Maybe a wave 2? Extremely unlikely, but just being hopeful.

Yes, there is supposed to be a second wave.
They'll probably release a set with them in when it is near the release of the bluray...

Brilliant idea if they do that. A highly desirable minifig to promote Bluray. Even better if it has old style helmet. I'd be all over that.

This history of the world is simple, but so cool. It's impressive how many Exo-force green hair pieces he has too.

This builder has very unique style. He has a ton of rails.

My local shop got the last waves of SW planets. I think I will pull the trigger on the B wing but $20 is a lot

Local shop where? Are they finally coming out in the US?

A shop outside of Toronto that specializes in hard to find LEGO. They have things like that Batman board game and several other rare sets. They received a number of wave 4 planets but instead of being $13 they are $22 (they needed to buy them on the aftermarket).

Rocket Racoon is going to be in some super expensive set. I can feel it...

I've never seen her in such a suggestive pose.
I'm liking the police vest/jacket from the new movie sets. Wish there was a easier way to get more of them. Might get the police/fire sets if they look good in vehicle mode.
Also what's up with Bad Cop's face?

Does that Firetruck Mech actually transform, or is that just wishful thinking?
BentBricks

If by transform, you mean it can be rebuilt like the Kre-o "Transformers", it's possible. I see only 2 wheels, but there may be 2 more in the back. It certainly seems to have enough parts otherwise.
Kre-o should rename the Transformers sets to the Reconstructors.
Late reax to the movie sets...
I actually am quite impressed by them... but the thing that impresses me is also the reason why I probably won't get any of them.
I like how crazy and improvised they look. I like how they look like a kid with a bunch of bricks and a wild imagination has come up with the sets. Like the crocodiles with police lights. Or the crates with arms and legs and guns. They're full of all those extra silly and unnecessary things I used to throw on sets to make them cooler (like all the oddly positioned wheels all over the place).
Or this thing:
What the hell is that thing? It's a medieval... boat... hovercraft... thing... with carriage wheels as engines... and missiles... and arrows. And it is amazing. It looks like the sort of thing I thought I'd be able to make when I was younger, yet probably never could. It is quite brilliant to me, and in a way, it feels like a refreshing change from the "clean"-ness of all other sets.
But... that's also why I don't think I'll buy them. They look too improvised. They look like I threw them together badly. And even though I never could, and even though they are probably far more clever than anything I'd ever build, I don't think I'd get a set like that.
I might change my mind once I've seen the movie, though!

I can't believe how good the LEGO movie sets look... previous comments are right, these sets look totally bonkers. LEGO on acid indeed. I figured I'd end up getting 1 or 2 but honestly, these builds look like so much fun, and there's so much variance and interesting pieces being used here... I may have to get them all.

From The Great Walmart Crash of 2013:
Before the website went down, I had gotten some of the games like Sonic Lost World (3DS) and Pokemon X/Y for $18 each. I then checked the LEGO prices.
Huge mistake.
Major sets were as low as $10 while cheaper sets were over $300. I missed out on these guys as Christmas gifts right before the website crashed.

walmart site is up for me, too bad in I'm Australia
Uuuuggghh I bought a few games on walmart tonight but didn't think to check legos, sigh
no offense but if that gets honored it's just criminal and I will hate you The deals I snagged on the 3ds games i ordered isn't nowhere near as good, even if that gets honored.
*edit* oh... i figured they would have fixed it by now, those deals are STILL up??? it's been hours! someone must be ready to lose their job over this...

Even if it does go through it might make you feel better that I'll have to pay probably the same again to get it redirected from the US to Australia
lol. Well good luck...
I'm trying my luck (for a second time) just placed some lego orders... i'm sure it won't go through but hey, why not try...
Sure, I'll take a LEGO Castle for $10.99! Sure, I'll take a Hobbit Goblin King's lair for $10.99! Sadly a lot of the other big sets are already sold out, one (black gate) even sold out as i was checking out (I had it in my cart... bleh)
anyway, many walmarts across the USA are opening (or already open if they are 24/hr) as I speak... I wonder how many people (if any) have been able to actually pick up orders?

I just noticed that the hopshopgo service I used says "the order will be placed with 48 hours".
I noticed the black gate is already sold out and they will likely be out of stock or have fixed the system by the time my order is made..so I ordered again myself sans black gate and had is shipped directly to the mail redirection depot. fingers crossed.

WTF? No way any of those prices will be honored. A bunch of people will raise a huge stink and get some press for it, but what is obviously a website error will not stand and no one will get those insane deals.From The Great Walmart Crash of 2013:

I went to the site just to see, and they list many of the new Star Wars sets like the Republic Gunship for $365 new. Yeah. Something really wrong there.

So would I, but websites don't honor things like this any more. Back in the late 90s you could raise a stink and get your $8 Pink Floyd 11 disc CD box set, but these days the Ts & Cs in your agreement generally point this out.
