Awww, damn. That is awesome to get a figure of him.
Nice, the green and purple ones seem really popular, they sold out of most already at my local TRU.
I still need to get a Torts then I'll have all of series 3. He seems pretty nice for parts, I don't blame whoever bought all of him from the case I found
Instruction and parts list images for the SDCC Batmobile if anyone is trying to build it. Buying the High Speed Chase set will get you about 25 out of the 152 pieces.

I took a stab at it. Parts were about $20 with another $10 or so in shipping on 4 orders from Bricklink. Already had minifigs though. It was a fun little build!
I was complaining about space with the new Cantina set and someone told me to buy two sets. I was waiting for a price drop but someone else did and it looks pretty nice.

It still retains its folding up ability as well.

September 1st can't come soon enough! Waiting to take advantage of the two polybag promos.
I'm glad I haven't had a chance to walk into my Lego store recently as I don't know if I would have the willpower not to buy it after seeing it on display.
NICE!
I was definitely planning on picking up 2 of these, as I wanted a couple Dewbacks, plus the missing band members.
Yup the incentive is high, you can get a lot of use out of the stuff included. han, greedo, luke and obi-wan can be sold off if you want to remake some of the dough.
btw there are some of these cantinas with NO minifigs on ebay for around $30, still a better overall plan to buy two full sets... but if you wanted a mega cantina you could buy your third this way I suppose.

Only problem I see with 2 cantinas is you'll have a 6th band member, forever alone, wandering the world trying to start a solo career.

Starring in a Star Wars version of El Mariachi.
The amazing part about The Tumbler is the fact that the exterior completely hides 50 odd percent of the build, so when you go to build it you won't even know what hits you as your overwhelmed with cool black bricks loaded with awesome gray tidbits here and there.

Most excellent, thanks for the link! Glad it isn't difficult at all to replicate this.

Great idea for a brick film.

Awesome. That's always the solution. Multiples of the same set. 2 x Orthanc Tower, 2 x Battle at the Black Gate, etc.
Not a problem. Send him over to my cantina. I welcome all excess cantina band members.

Popped by my local LEGO Store today and was pleased to see Mixels wave 3 there. Of course, I had to snag all of 'em (and a Star Wars Advent Calendar).
While putting these guys together today, I realized why I love the Mixels so much--they have a very Muppet-y feel to them. The googly eyes, the exaggerated limbs, the wildly different shapes and colors. They're able to cram a ton of character and personality into such simplistic forms. I love 'em.

Has anyone bought anything from NACM customs? I could have swore I ordered some Ghostbusters arms but I can't find an e mail and there is no way in the website to get in touch with them.
Do you get e mails when you order from them?

Here we go folks.
Giant box!?
The receipt. Eheheheheh.
Daaang this box is actually huge, worthy of what B&N shipped it in.
Everything appears to be in order...
Who are we kidding, this is the most important thing in that box.
Pardon the mess ^_^;;
Arrroooooo!!
The chopper is HUGE. WAY WAY bigger than I ever imagined it being.
Getting a drink!
Here's the adress for my Paypal order for the GB arms, you could give it a try :

And that T-Rex is awesome.

Not only is it cool they are finally launching this, but it gives us a peak at what the mainline bricklink site redesign will look like, I'm assuming. And it feels really modern, a great compliment to the recent redesign of Brickset.

Finished The Tumbler last night! Amazing build and it looks BEASTLY when complete! I'll upload some final pictures when I take them.
Hope I convinced some Tumbler Fence Sitters to consider picking it up Sept 1st!
Some pics:

The Rear Left Quadrant
Dem Canisters!

Integrated with Technic beams: I love it!

The picture of the canisters just show how ridiculously huge it is
No kidding! I want it but at the same time where I live is always so full of dust that it would be powder grey after 2-3 days? I'd have to vacuum seal it to keep it dust free or something. Meanwhile, i'm debating on going out to buy either the new Star Destroyer or the 2 in 1 box set of The Ghost and Phantom that TRU has. Though TBH i'm already more leaning towards the SD.

Noooooo, I still have to get the Frosticons.
We now have confirmation of LEGO Jurassic World from a reliable source. Hopefully they spare no expense.
The same source reports that there will be five Avengers: Age of Utron sets. Available in March.
75081 - T-16 Skyhopper includes new Tusken Raider, and a Womp Rat.
75078 - Troop Transport is actually a battle pack with Stormtroopers, and not the OT Kenner vehicle of the same name (boooo).
75079 - Shadow Trooper battle pack has a small vehicle, two Shadow Troopers and two Shadow Guards.
75089 - Geonosis Trooper battle pack is similar to the Kashyyyk pack from this year, but with troopers in brown camo, and a new small AT-RT.
76026 - Gorilla Grodd is a bigfig, Wonder Woman is included with her invisible jet, as are Batman and the Flash.
76027 - Black Manta set has two subs (a Batsub, and a larger one for Black Manta), Batman, Robin and Aquaman.
76028 - Darkseid is a bigfig. Also comes with Superman.
76029 - The Braniac set has the Javelin, Superman (or perhaps Supergirl), Hawkman, Cyborg, Braniac.

UCS Tyrannosaurus Rex here we come. Complete with glowy eyes and a sound brick that causes him to roar.

More to come...
There better be more than one Ultron bot in a big set. I want an Ultron bot army. I want a ton of Ultron minifigs like they had the lame aliens in the last Avenger sets. Aliens were OK compared to the movie, but as minifigs they aren't very reusable.

But we're taking about a T-Rex here!We've dreamed of a brick built Smaug before.....

I'll probably grab a modular next month, so I'm also hoping for double VIP.
I am still struggling to decide what to order on the 1st to get the Spaceman.
I want to spend as little as possible right now while still hitting the $99 mark, and making sure the set(s) I choose are ones I want but also do not currently have better prices anywhere else.

mmmmmmmm, very niiiiiice.
Actually, the honor for most minifig representations goes to Warwick Davis:
- Filius Flitwick (Harry Potter)
- Griphook the Goblin (Harry Potter)
- Wald (Star Wars)
- Wicket W. Warrick (Star Wars)
