That dropship must be bigger than the pics we've seen let on because I thought it looked more like a $70 set to me. I still want it but will be waiting for those good Amazon discounts on many of these.

Rescue Base is 473pcs and $70? Man that is nuts. Probably a lot of huge pieces. Curious about the shopping center though.
Drop ship is 853 pieces? It didn't look that big in the pics. And $100 for that? Eh.
And Benny's Spaceship is 939 pieces (around what I expected), but for $125? They must know that nuts like us will buy it without hesitation because it is classic space themed, because the Fire Truck Mech was about the same amount of pieces but only $70.

The prices are a rough conversion from Hungarian, and may not be accurate as some territories are priced higher by default. For the movie sets, I would think that it could be even lower MSRP, but I am hedging my bets for now.

Maaaaaan about damn time we get some different stuff!!! I hope it sells well cause that's legit (the Arctic stuff).
That was me, so I most definitely hope these rumours are true. If so I only need a new UCS Falcon to complete the 'to scale' shipline. Imperial Shuttle, X-wing, Tie-Fighter, Y-wing, A-wing, B-wing and a falcon are all the ships I want.
So, LEGO, what are you waiting for, UCS Falcon 2.0 please.

All I needed to hear. Well, I would have wanted more but that leaves room for a bunch of stuff. Some new character in a small set, a middle set with a big construct (balrog or Treebeard?) and a large set that could include a ton of Pelennor scenes.
Or it's all walls with Legolas and Gimli.
Oh, and I told you those riggings were returning

70145 Maula Ice Mammoth; 604 pcs; $75
70146 Flight to the Phoenix Fire Temple; 1,301 pcs; $150
I'm not going to bother with the Speedorz (9 of these) or the new Constraction figs (6 of those).

I think we've quickly moved from "rumors" to "varying-levels-of-accuracy translated facts" now. You can probably count on that B-Wing.

Yeah, we did last year, with that Battle of Hoth set. LEGO probably wanted to capitalize on the AT-AT being released in the fall.
Makes sense. I wonder what else will be packed in with it seeing as the snowspeeder itself is not a $40 ship.
Also, just between SW and City alone, it's going to be an expensive 2nd half of the year. Are the Simpsons sets suppose to release then, too, or this spring?
Or it could just be the typical Star Wars inflation we have been seeing every single year.

Maybe its an Oliphant or Watcher in the Water set.

Looks like a lot of really expensive sets this year. (Over $50.)
Isn't that a bit much? Especially when most of the LEGO Movie sets are so well priced.

That's a good start.
Is it a basic brick set?You did good. Really good uncle. I can't say best cuz her other uncles may have gotten her the Dolphin Cruiser set AND a 1,000 piece starter set.
Interesting. I wonder if SHIELD from the Avengers brought back interest in spy theme.
If I knew this, I wouldn't have bought a bunch of Agent minifigs through Bricklink. Interesting there isn't a low end entry set in the $12 area.
Efff me. That's about $300+ more to buy.
They moved away from Artic? You sure the sets aren't named Pollar?
If they are doing these for City them, they should do more expedition sets.

Awesome photo!
I demand a new set with sharks that have lasers attatched to their heads. Or better yet a bunch of the Friends animals with lasers attached to their heads.

Took a break from breaking down sets and sorting pieces from the random box of pieces I was sent and built the Alien Mothership I picked up last week.
REALLY cool set when done. The build was good overall, but not mindblowing. But the end results are so cool. I love how it makes the sounds as you spin the saucer around. I just love the 50s sci fi vibe that the alien ships had from this line, and the sound brick just sends it further.
On a disappointing note though, I am upset to see the curved train tracks that come with it are only 6 studs wide instead of the 8 studs that the regular train tracks are.

Yep, its the same track as the Joker Funhouse and Indiana Jones Temple of Doom sets.

They should do a Lego circus subtheme, along with a zoo but these polar sets sound interesting.
JANG figured out an alt build for Rescue Reinforcements:
It's not perfect, as he explains in his video, but it looks pretty good.

I called the Westfield Stratford store before going yesterday and asked if they had the Mars set and they said it will only be available online.
I'm a sucker for the B-Wing but need to see most of the others to decide. AT-AT and ISD are a given.
My bank account will not be happy but I may have to buy all of these. Benny's Spaceship is a done deal, the other two if I can get a bit of a discount.
Only sets I want are Star Wars... but I might just have to pick up the Sea Cow. Damnit.
Regular is "thinking about it", bold is "yeah definitely", and bold + underlined is "DAY ONE OMGGJFJDGHDJGDG"

Thanks for the info. I might as well put my order in online then. The set seems to be selling out fast. It's now backordered until the 20th.

Wanted to sleep in, but my body woke me up on its own at the right time to get to the LEGO store about twenty minutes after they open. I will sleep when I am dead. Time for breakfast, a long drive, and a new modular.
I couldn't even sleep to my alarm, so here I am getting ready to go to the store. It opens in 1 hour 10 minutes!!!
Are they moving to two modular sets a year now?
SiegfriedFM

That's not a modular, more like MMV in size.
I was wondering about this. Like it would be cool if it was like a half modular like one of 2 buildings in pet shop set being released as its own set. It is something I think they should consider doing. My hope would be them releasing a yearly row house/city house that was modular compatible. I actually have built a few of my own versions to go with the pet shop one.

I got the Back To The Future set for Xmas. I plan on getting the theater and restaurant at some point this year too. Other than that, I'm trying to lay a little low on the Lego buying because we have a lot of plans with the family this year that will take up a lot of my mad money.
I may also try and disassemble my existing sets, sort, then rebuild some stuff at some point.

Well that's a bummer. Thanks for getting that info - I'll have to put together a S@H order later today, once I am back from the store.
That's what it looks like - I REALLY hope that they keep the minifig designs in line with the movies sets, and not go the route they did with Clone Wars. No more horrid CW faces, please!
