Wow, Elsa and Jasmine, check. I'm assuming that Anna will be there too. And since it should be a smaller set, I'm assuming that Jasmine will come with a Friends baby Rajah.
That, a lot of the CMF stuff, the pirate ship and potentially the elves stuff is on my radar.
I still refuse to believe that list is complete.

What exactly does the MF stand for on the end of some of those Star Wars sets? I'm trying to figure out why they're re-releasing the Republic Gunship so soon.

"Aurora's Bedroom" ... *giggity*
"Jasmine's Exotic Adventure" ... *giggity*
"Elsa's Glittering Ice Palace" ... I hope for many, many trans pieces.

Okay, thank you. If that's the case...:Starts drooling:
The Microfighters were such a fun build for me, so I'm looking forward to how they do the stuff like the AT-AT and the Republic Gunship.
Edit: How Feasible would it be to buy the parts needed to make an older set? Like, completely from scratch. I saw the old TIE Interceptor UCS and I feel a sudden urge to try and build one.

The prices have me worry because I want them to look close to real super-car but I am excited as I love race cars.
In presume the "Elves" might be the "Fantasy Castle" theme?
Edit: Only 87 sets in that list ghostmind, I need moar!
So... got a new Toys R Us 20% off a single item coupon in the mail today (attached to a Babies R Us flier... not sure why it's always Babies R Us and never Toys R Us info inside, bo-o-oring!)
The catch? Well, you might not like it. I know I didn't.
It's only 20% off for TRU credit card holders. For everyone else it's only 15% off.
I hope this won't be the case from now on... sucks.
Anyone signed up for the TRU CC though? They keep hassling me every single time I'm in there.

Isn't the movie coming out next year? Maybe thats why or am I wrong?

So when can we expect pictures of all these spoilers? I want to see the new Technic and Princess stuff pronto!
Series 4 wasn't released in the US as far as I know, in Europe they're still MSRP or lower.
That would be why!

Ohhhh....holy crap.
I have to hear lines & songs from that movie twenty or thirty times a day. My youngest is going to flip her lid when she sees this.
Hell, I even bought her the shirt on the left a while back:
Thank you for putting "Do you wanna build a snow man?" back in my ear.
Let it go...let it go...

A few more classic minifigs arrived together with a bunch of new interesting heads, so the lineup increases... I really need to get more room for these.

It is so weird seeing new faces inside the classic space figure helmets. Especially the guy with a beard.
Urgh. We need new Space System stuff!

And then PirateElves!
Space Pirate Elves.
They're in the retail catalog given to buyers of retail stores. It's just a matter of when one of their "friends" decides to leak it.

Elsa's Ice Palace - My daughter is going to flip!!
I'm looking forward to the Snowspeeder and AT-AT Microfighters. Those are two of my favorite vehicles.
What about the UCS Slave 1?? I guess that's still slated for fall of this year?

So what's happened to the S@H site? I haven't been able load it for several days now.
Hmm well i loaded it earlier. They put the new Chima polybag up, who knows, maybe other stuff?
*EDIT*
just notice jabba's palace is listed for 29.99 at S@H ... out of stock obviously
Wow I wonder how many people actually got it at that price... would be incredible
I kind of hate that Kreo has the D and D license, or maybe Lego and them just never came to a deal, I don't know exactly. What I do know is I could picture if Lego had that license and they explored all the different worlds what awesome sets we could possibly have.
Spellammer?? I mean come on, fucking space elves and more. Mind Flayers, Space pirates, oh good lord the possibilities.
Ravenloft??!! Put those sets out around Halloween.
sorry had to find some pics for some who may not be familiar with the mind-altering craziness that is Spelljammer
LEGO doing D&D would be epic, but the kre-o stuff is okay I mean, I did go on about how much I bought of it earlier this month... about $90 worth (all on clearance, so I got almost everything... missing like two small items, I may ebay those at some point)
Biggest disappointment is the lack of variety in the minifigs. mostly humans and orcs, with a few elves. NO monsters... let alone uhh, HELLO? Dragons.
Come on, D&D has some of the most iconic monsters in fiction, and they are OWNED by them too: beholder, gauth, carrion crawler, displacer beast, githyanki, githzerai, kuo-toa, mind flayer, slaad, umber hulk, yuan-ti... oh and what about tieflings? oh, right... well we did get one of those in the kre-o blind bags MAGICALLY.
tl;dr: D&D license is epic, kre-o quality is good but sadly they either lacked the inspiration or budget to do it justice, sigh.

Saw a new LEGO sticker book at the book store.
Yeah. Way to rub salt in the wound that Monster Fighters is no more by putting out a new sticker book for the Halloween season about them and other awesome spooky sets.
They really should have a Halloween Village series like they do Winter Village.

Hate to be the water bucket for the Elves fire but I just read on BrickFan that it's apparently the Castle line for girls and will use the minidolls.
I mean not like that will stop us from buying them anyway but I saw some people getting excited about the yellow elf ears and.. yeah
Don't know if the Elves line was the same as the fairy-tale Castle subtheme, hopefully that's still a thing and we get some new and interesting Castle stuff that's not all pink and purple.

After the success of the haunted house SURELY they have more monsters on the agenda at some point. Their product lineup is just so damn full... they have to put some ideas on the back burner, right?
And... I have a dilemma
I found a Sith Fury Interceptor for a good price. new in box. Should I buy or...? I mean, I still need to decide on a Sept 1st S@H purchase... i wish I could get the sandcrawler, but I just don't know >.<
Something like this? For a custom I feel like it's an improvement, but I can see some not liking it

Yeah... that is a bummer. the minidolls just suck compared to minifigs. Less posability is what bugs me. I'll admit they make much better looking females though. LEGO should make new torso molds for females... lots of customs already do it.Hate to be the water bucket for the Elves fire but I just read on BrickFan that it's apparently the Castle line for girls and will use the minidolls.

First off, buy Sith Fury. One of the best damn ships out there.
As for the minifig, the adding the curve to the sides of standard mini figs like your pic is how I think they should do it. It adds a small touch to show it is a female figure, but it is still a standard mini figure outside of that. The best of both worlds.
Ok, so yea i'm seriously questioning where AWD are getting their Lego sets now.

I really had hoped that Elsa's castle would be bigger than a $35 set. That's disappointing.
My kids will be thrilled to have an Elsa mini doll but still....was hoping for a Cinderella-sized set.

BUY THE FURY INTERCEPTOR!!
I hope they do more with the monsters too. All these leaks that just happened, though, they're for the first half of 2015, right? There's still a LOT they can bring out in the second half.
I mean for this year we just got all the summer Star Wars sets, City, Chima, etc etc but we didn't find out about those until a few months ago. So whatever they have planned for the second half of 2015 we're still a ways out from knowing. Here's hoping two years off of monster Lego is enough time to bring them back!

Maybe it will be a double up set, like the Cantina one.

Actually, that might be even better for me. That means the ears are light flesh. Maybe we get the CMF Elf hair with another colour. Although I wouldn't buy the sets, just loose figures.
As for the Elsa set, I don't really see how they could make a bigger castle. They'll need to seriously mix the pieces to not get too many transparent pieces connecting, so making huge walls would just look silly. And besides, anything even near to scale would be HUGE. If we just get the main two-three figures, you can build the rest from existing trans blocks. And I bet it will introduce a few new colours so there are more pieces on the market.

That was me. I was hoping for more generic yellow elf ear hair pieces. Oh well, I'll probably want some of those mini-dolls. Maybe I'll make some Vulcan minifigs with the elf ear hair pieces.

I heard LEGO passed on license to World of Warcraft from someone that works at Blizzard (take with a grain of salt). I would guess D&D probably did not fit LEGO's criteria as an ideal IP license.
Turns out 100 Bats didn't go as far as I had hoped :/
I also put some orange pieces over the light in the arch to make the light warmer and built a smaller tunnel underneath the arches in the door way with a red light (bit hard to tell from this photo)
main things left are the rock sculpting, more loose rocks on the ground and the bat computer.
I'm thinking I need to light The Bat up a bit too somehow.
