Right !... Off-topic, but is that supposed to happen in that Original Sin crossover they're doing now ? Last time I read a Cap comic, he had just got out of dimension Z or something.

It's quite hefty so far. Plus isn't it supposed to be like a smuggling ship? Makes sense for it to have a junker look. I just like the unique look of it.
Apparently Cap loses his powers in his solo series: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/17/marvel-comics-reveals-the-falcon-is-the-new-captain-america
Oh and I have no love for Chima I just thought that maybe it might be worth it for the parts. I guess for me the Hulk Lab Smash is probably the netter deal. I love all the figs and I can just use the parts for whatever. Gotta think about it though because i didn't want to buy more Lego right now.
Here's a page-by-page walkthrough of the instructions for the SDCC Classic Batmobile:

Thanks for this! I think I'm going to go ahead and put my first orders in on Bricklink to piece together this one.
Lol at the foot-bombing. Also, I have no real clue here except all that black that could indeed lead to a Bat-something.

Please do.. that would be awesome....
LEGO Agents 70162 Infearno Interceptor
Pretty much the only Agents set I had (great) interest in but boy is it bad. It actually starts out nice because there are two play features I wasn't aware of previously - but one of those screws up the whole design. The thing looks so slick and fast on the packshot but once it is assembled it looks like the Tumbler's fat cousin. It's well hidden on the shots but the cockpit is one blocky sizeable chunk that destroys any side view. And the front wheels don't even work, the whole thing slides across two flat round panels on the bottom. It's still a nice display piece but only from front/top views.

Buy another set!
Haha seriously though, any guesses to what it will be?
Dark Knight Rises Batcave!
Don't tempt me...but I'm not sure if I know how'd to properly combine two of them together so they'd be awesome and retain the folding-ness.
The $200 price tag SHOULD help keep away some people.
That makes sense. As an adult I never know what to ask for Christmas so I figured why not the Tumbler.

It's magnificent!
I think this will look great on my desk at work, everyone is bound to be super jealous.
Everything is Awesome!
Best looking LEGO set I've built in a long time.
Spent the entire time building it watching Mr. Bean.DDD

I'm building it at the moment. There are a ton of fiddly 1x1 flat pieces to put in.

Mini reminds me of the Camper Van (which is one of my favorite large sets LEGO ever put out).
So I finally started my display for my LUGs big expo, with the Ghostbusters rooftop disassembled and everything sorted I'm ready to go... Here's the first WIP pic...

Foot rest? I am with most of the other guesses and say it's Batman related. That looks like a platform for a batcopter or a batmobile the size of the SDCC batmobile.
EDIT: "I only work in black….And sometimes very, very dark gray."

Does this work at their retail stores or just their website?
You aren't suggesting they won't manufacture more, right?

They usually don't. Sold out means gone for good and temporary out of stock means they have sets maybe but are unavailable. That's why you can't order either from the site anymore, because they can't fulfill the order. The rover was temporary out of stock and it never came back. They could bring back the institute just because it would be bad press to be accused of not making enough sets for female demographic and the set has been all over the news. Either way the manufacturing line schedule is set months in advance. If we see more, it will be existing stock being moved around.
Shit maybe I should increase what I want for it in eBay then....

I bought two exo suits, if I plan on selling one should I wait a little while for the prices to go up or try now? On eBay I see a lot of people selling them for $60+...
I managed to score a 2nd one of these, someone local had one they didn't want so I traded it for some spare minifigs. (These were available here in Australia from July 1-7th)
I never post here, but this Magnetron MOC is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. And it hits the exact nostalgic time for me. Magnetrons, Blacktrons, and Space Police were like my childhood;

Christ. Dat greeble!
I was under the impression it was an online exclusive. Did some calling around and a local place had them in stock. Thanks for the idea!

OH MY!
That is beautiful/amazing!
All that SNOT! All that Greeble!
Someone should commission this builder to make space bases for all the different eras.
That is disgustingly magnificent.

Wife got an official start date for the job. I now have just under 30 days to finish disassembling everything and pack it all up.
Ewok Village is almost done. Now to take apart Red Five Sex Wing, Ghostbusters, Haunted House, Horizon Express, Maersk Train, and six modulars. Ugh. I know what I am doing on my vacation this week.

Very nice, though i don't like hiding the studs too much. Makes it look less like a lego thing and more like something else. I actually thought this wasn't made with legos at first.
Guess i'm kind of old-fashioned, back when i bought and played with legos (don't have space nor money for them anymore), studs were rarely covered. Though i guess covering and minimizing about of them has always been more of a custom thing, not official.
EDIT other than that small issue, it is probably one of the best custom lego builds i've ever seen. Well, the one i like most.

Damn, if I had known Research Institute would just disappear like that, I would have bought another one. As it is I managed one for my girlfriend, and one for her friend that's a lady neuro-scientist. None for me to build or stash.
Hopefully they do another run, since there aren't even any unique prints in that set beyond the star chart, right? Lego bathing in liquid money from that set, probably costs them less than $5 to make.

Star chart is the only unique part that I can tell. The mini figure heads are just recycled. I think the bodies were too.
My wife's main criticism of the set is that all the women have "bitch face." Her words, not mine. She wondered why no one seemed to be happy to be doing science.
Once she starts her new job I will probably do an expanded MOC of the chemist and add a cheerful face to it so she has something for her desk.
The more you can make a Lego build look like something else entirely is when it's most amazing. Like making a household vacuum cleaner out of Lego and totally fool people unless they look close. I love the omg that is made of Lego. How did they do that. Or the ridiculously simple microbuilds of real life objects that instantly capture that objects essence. That's the reason I love Lego is the amazing versatility.

Haha. That would have been hilarious, but only <1% of the audience would get that joke.
Beat me to it. Greeble, Greeble, GREEBLE! I will bookmark that for greeble reference.
