based on what I read on Reddit the head parts of the new Bionicle are not the old ones but new ones.
EDIT: I realize that was a given but it's important as it seems old masks may not work on these new heads
2nd EDIT: still surprised Lego dosnt sell bricks with standard LEDs as lighting integrated into the piece with some form of easy replace battery, but in other regards I can understand why they don't do that. The current light up bricks are cool but still limited.

Ryuuroden what are you using as reference for your design, is there a detailed cross-section of the tower (much like the amazing star wars cross section books)?
I'm sure you have lots of movie stills too, of course.
Anyway, it is definitely turning out excellent and I need to get myself an Orthanc, even if I never plan to build a custom one anywhere near that huge it's the last LotR/Hobbit set I need other than the Pirate Ship, which I am comfortable in skipping.

Something I made (see...stickers can be useful)
So awesome! We need some Super Hero battle packs.
So is that for a teeth whitening ad? The superior race has very white teeth!
Dude, it's like a marathon. You need sustenance to keep going. Get some energy/protein bars. It'll keep you going longer and keep your mind and strength up.

Alright LegoGaf, I need a bit of advice and I thought you'd be the guys to ask. A while back, I was on a bit of a Lego kick and bought and built a UCS Imperial Shuttle. It was a fun build, and I enjoy having it, but I'm starting to think it might be time to part with it. I could use the cash/space to build other collections of mine.
My questions for you guys, if I were to sell it now, would I regret it? As in, does the value of this thing look to increase astronomically in perhaps the next 1-2 years? The kit is currently built, but I do have all other pieces including mini-fig accessories, box and manual. If I do decide to sell it, where's my best shot? I normally throw stuff on eBay, but I know that's not the best option for a lot of things.
Thanks for your opinions, guys, and I hope you're have fun building!

Stunning! Have you made sure that the entire thing will fit in your house? Also, is it possible to take it apart for transportation?

I got some ideas from cut outs from some LoTR board games that involved spying in isengard, plus the movie and the MMO which I have a lifetime account for even though i quit playing it a year and a half ago. I can still access it for referal. Even with all of that, my interior is still mostly based on how I imagine it would be. At least so far. The dungeons and 1st floor armory and such are completely mine while some of the furniture design has been adapted and modified from other sets, at least on the first floor. The armory is all my design with the exception of the chandelier which is adapted from the Grand Emporium. I figure Saruman bastardized Isengard by adding orcish things but that old stuff would remain so the clashing between the chandelier and weapons is on purpose. The idea is that in the past that room served more humane purposes.
....I hope it fits in my house
(It's supposed to). The first 2 floors are attached but every floor after that I am attempting to make removable, ala modulars. Each floor has an independent LED power source. For instance, on the first floor the power source is hidden inside the fireplace. There is a little hole near the top in which to stick a thin object to flip the switch activating it.Another one flies off into the sunset...
10226 Sopwith Camel - which debuted in June 2012 - is now OOP on S@H, and unavailable at most major retailers.
For some reason it never kicked in for the afos, it was my first big set after the dark years and found it hard to build but awarding at the end.
Hope to be still in time to get the VW

Quick snap from the Lego Batman 3 booth at EuroGamer 2014 this Friday just gone. The game itself was fun but a little frustrating as I'm not really into Batman so don't know what all the suits do, same goes for Robin whom my wife was controlling (that added another level of frustration)
And a little something picked up at Westfield when getting dinner. Wanted 2 guitars for my "on hold but soon to be resumed now we have moved" Taito arcade.

first 2 can be neglected (i already have the couch with the Sea Cow) but the 3rd is a must have for Super Angry Kitty and that Terminator!!!
I actually like all 3. I have the characters but I still want them. large theme in eons that I have a gotta collect them all feeling.
Wow...didn't expect so many minifigures in that Double Decker Couch set.
I will definitely get all the sets since they don't seem very pricey.

Meh, all of them are lame in my opinion. Only appeal is the minifigures.

I like the Unikitty in the Double-Decker Couch set. The rest are pretty meh.

Liking the movie sets. I don't have Benny and I need a unikitty... Heck all of them look great and affordable.

Useless sets, tons of good figures. I guess they've sold the big sets to all the crazies who wanted the figures at any cost, now they can get the impulse buyers. I'm getting the couch and the Batman set but I probably won't even build the sets themselves.
Is there a reason why Emmet is eating a waffle and Lord Business is all happy and comfortable? Post-movie scene?

I'll grab 2 of those sets, both to get the Kittys.

I'm in for one each of the TLM sets. Each has at least one minifig I want so even if only for parts I'll grab them.

I just saw it $20 off in my local Toys R Us catalogue (Australia), might have to pick it up.
I'll definitely grab those 2, good way to get the minifigs and my ghostbusters need a ghost virtruvious to bust.
I don't think I've ever seen any sets that loaded with minifigs with so few bricks to accompany them. Even army builder sets have more parts than that

Just watched TLM for the 30th time (my 2 year old loves it) and I wondered where to get the waffle piece. I also noticed that Vitruvius' staff is a
mostly eaten sucker
Buying all 3.
I love how the silver chair in the Bad Cop set is displayed next to the minifigs.
Will buy all.
God damn it. Its Bionicle in name and mask alone. Still essentially HF.
will buy, unfortunately

Even though I'd like less Hero Factory influence, it's still great. Better than expected to be honest.
EDIT:
looks like the double decker couch comes with a nice waffle piece as well
WordAssassin

The more I look at them, the more I'm really really into the new TLM sets.
Has there ever been a waffle before?
Bad Cop's chair!!!
"Good" President Business!
The Bad Cop's Car Chase looks so cool, buy a bunch of them and make a massive fleet of cop cars and bikes all led by Bad Cop in his hover car, frick yeah!!
I am slightly bummed that BCCC isn't a little bigger with the Pig Sled, really wanted some Lego piggies.
There better still be one more set that's retailer exclusive which is why we haven't seen it yet. I'm gettin mad

Double Decker couch is probably going to be one of the few movie sets I get.
Super-mixed. Tahu, Pohatu, Onua (based off the earlier images) and Kopaka look fine, Gali would look nice if it weren't for that mask, and I'm not sure what to make of Lewa. Skull Spider doesn't look that interesting. I'll probably get them for nostalgia's sake but I'm disappointed they weren't very faithful to the originals for the most part.

Looking at the masks they seem super faithful while also spicing it up. Put them side by side for comparison and you'll see how similar the masks are with a few additions. Gali is the only odd one in terms of masks.
But yeah, the spider sucks, but I'll probably get it anyway knowing me.

I don't know about you guys but i'm hoping we'll see a updated version of this set: http://brickset.com/sets/7659-1/Imperial-Landing-Craft though i'm not sure exactly what changes they could do to it other than maybe make it bigger and include 1 less figure.

So awesome. Nothing special about the sets, but I think they are great values for getting the minifigs with nice extras. No longer need to buy $100 set to get Benny.
The only one that looks more than a minifigure pack is the Bad Cop Chase set. I think those vehicles look nice.
