I was maybe going to get that western set but the mustached dude is the seller for me... love me some good western... oddly dont enjoy any of the lone ranger sets.

Seems weird they would change the name like that.
Still love the use of those brick pieces. Ugh...need to sell off some sets to get these new ones.

So, the Robber's Hideout set got a new name:
That set is strangely similar to the helicopter surveillance set with the huge heli and another hideout just like that.
Seeing last page's sets going OOP made me check the availability of Architecture sets I'm still missing, and it seems like Amazon hasn't got Villa Savoye anymore. Does anyone here know if it's an indication of it going, or if it's a temporary thing? Usually all the Amazons losing a set is a good indication, but Villa Savoye is quite a new set, and S@H still has it in stock. For some reason Robie House has the opposite problem, it's definitely going OOP, but Amazon still has it for reasonable prices.
Yeah I agree. I haven't followed LEGO very closely until these last 3 or so years, but now that I'm starting to get some years under my belt I'm starting to see a lot of repetition.
Going forward It's sure to impact how many sets I buy. Probably will be more minifigure focused in the coming years since I'll be overwhelmed with pieces already (technically already am)

That dual-pistol gentleman figure is amazing. He's exactly what I would have preferred to see in the Monster Fighters sets....love the classy brown suit.
And that mustache accessory! First pic with a fully mustache'd out Eye of Sauron wins.

What new brick pieces? *looks closely at picture* Are those 1x3 brick pieces?

Well, this totally changes Wetwired's Ghostbusters alley wall, doesn't it?
That's pretty damn interesting! Need to get me tons of moustaches and recreate the stoning sketch in Life of Brian.
They are 1x4 brick pieces. The Helicopter Surveillance set 60046 has them as well.
I really like the minifigs in the Movie sets:
That moustache attaches around the neck, so you can transfer it to almost any minifig.
Please someone do a Westworld scene with those cowboys!
Hailed by NASA as a “miracle of engineering” when it landed on Mars in August, 2012, we’re thrilled to present a LEGO set based on this historic spacecraft. The fifth LEGO CUUSOO set, 21104 NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover, will be available in the LEGO Shop online for $29.99 from January 1st, 2014.
Stephen Pakbaz (“Perijove“, a Mechanical Engineer who worked on the actual Curiosity rover at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, designed and submitted the rover project to LEGO CUUSOO in late 2011, to further the educational outreach of the Mars Curiosity rover’s mission, and to encourage greater public support for space exploration. His project reached 10,000 supporters within two weeks of the landing in August 2012, and was selected for production by the LEGO Review Board this June.

Wow, that's an awesome looking set. Can't wait to see what LEGO does with the Power Armor.

What's with the big growling teeth of some of the turtles? I'm confused
Do you mean Raph? It's a mask like they have on some of the Galaxy Squad figures.
Cause mutant turtles grow teeth of course......
Booyakasha!! This page got awesome really awesome. More turtles, wasn't expecting those figs at all. I'm so excited I still have two turtle sets to put together and now I feel a real need to get the Baxter Robot.
That Mars Rover looks awesome to, look like I will be making a 1st of the year lego store order. Mars Rover and Baxter Robot.

The Baxter Robot is such a great set, I think it's the best looking one of the TMNT sets so far.
Here's something I might have finally finished tonight or tomorrow...
I'll try to post some better quality pics once it's completed.
This is fantastic. I'm pretty sure I hid in that exact tower from the first dragon I encountered in Skyrim.
I will get it, 1st of the year Mars Rover, Baxter-Bot and Forest Animals oh my.

I just noticed your avatar and status. Hilarious.
You were Dutch, right? I always tend to forget those things, but if you are, can you please tell me where you got those cases? I still need to find room for my Star Wars minifigures, and a half baseplate isn't going to do it anymore.
I went to the physical store, but you can order online - http://www.sjaakshobbyshop.nl/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=159_158&products_id=927
Alternatively there's always amazon.co.uk and amazon.de (free shipping).
Nothing to see here, imperio!
Doesn't look like it. I called my local LEGO store on Tuesday and they said they don't even have them in yet.

Actually glad there is no early access for VIP, because I cannot afford it yet.
On the other hand, I hopefully will have enough money from Christmas to drive to the LEGO store on New Year's Day and buy the set.

Thanks, those look great.
Edit: their store is in Leiden, even better. No shipping for me.
Might want to call if they have stuff in store; or order online and do a pickup.

Isn't that how we get all our news now? I get all my LEGO news and where to spend my money from this very thread.

So they're making a 2nd turtle lair set, but for double the price? I wonder what the difference will be. Like will it have a spot for the Shellraiser?
I work for LEGO and I find out more news online than I do through the channels in my own company.
Jan 1st. They're at the store, along with LEGO Movie sets and Architecture Eiffel Tower. But no early access.
