I am sure they originally plan this for the 3D released of Revenge if the Seth. I actually don't care for the update version (I have the green one). I think new version is way too big.

what's the link for the tables? curious about prices and a good work corner as well now (for art making and lego making)
Lookin forward to getting home tomorrow from my folks mostly due to seeing my girl again and Goblin King set waiting for me, plus the small Lego Movie western set.
I swung by Target today and have to say, I feel like after seeing alot of the 2014 sets on the shelves, I feel like this year the sets being released have a way way bigger bang for the buck in terms of what you get than last year. Everything feels unique, well priced (mainly the Movie sets), and overall well planned.

is that really the reason? they release polybags with only figs inside all the time.
by the way, I want to start planning for the simpsons minifigs, would anyone be interested in splitting a box? I can prepay (established posters only), course I'd want to see what the actual figs are before fully committing. Just curious if anyone is already thinking about it. I have a feeling they will be harder to get ahold of than past waves.

Speculators will be all over these figures. In a crazy way. At the same time, I also see them flooding the market with these figures. You will probably see them in places you never normally find LEGO mini figures.
The polybags are always legoshop/convention promos in America, the battlepacks always have a built in figure/mini vehicle to get around the licensing issue (Hasbro has the rights to regular figures).
It's a theory
I heard the same thing about the 6 inch star wars black figures. Sure, I find them places, but never boba fett. sand trooper is also hard to find. glad I pre-ordered them online. i'd rather not risk not getting them.Here you go:

There's a few different LINNMON table sizes that you can get.

Finally started building the Special Edition of the 4 x 4 Crawler last night. Am about half-way through, and found I am missing a piece. (Was almost finished with all the #1 bags so I'm sure I didn't misplace it.)
http://www.brickset.com/parts/?part=4211779
That's the missing piece. Pretty bummed as I was hoping to finish it up this weekend. I checked through my bins and I don't have any either, (my Technic collection is pretty small).
I put in a customer service request, so I should get one in a week or so, but it just sucks to have to wait to finish the build. On to the next one I guess.

Second shelf is stocked:
CITY, Dino, Pharaoh's Quest, and one lone Atlantis set.
I'll need to get one more shelf, and that should be enough for what is left.
Build space:
It's brighter than the picture would present. As I mentioned earlier, I'll be getting 8-10 more of these tables to use as my display space, which will run between the build space and the storage shelves. I'm also going to start investing in the plastic sterlite stackable storage units, that you can find at Walmart or Target, and will be tucking those under the tables to hold all my unused parts.
That's the one thing that sucks about Australia, we generally don't have basements, if I had one I'd love to set up a building space, mine is generally on the floor or coffee table, which sucks as I have to spend about 10 minutes at either end of a build session bringing all the containers out to the place of building and putting them back at the end otherwise the kids get into them and the wife yells at me.
ah man. I just finished Jabba's Sail Barge, what a fun build. I know it's a pricey set, but I loved that it had little rooms packed inside. Highly recommend it if you're a fan of Star Wars, or at least the original movies.
I'll try to post some pictures of my new setup tomorrow. Still trying to clean up and figure out what sets I want to break down and where I want to store a few things.

He is accurate in stating LEGO doesn't have the license to sell LEGO minifigures on their own. Hasbro has the license for action figures/dolls. I definitely did buy the magnet sets for the minifigures and am upset at Hasbro for bringing up the lawsuit.
Obviously LEGO does release polybags with only Star Wars minifigures, but those aren't sold. They are a free giveaway usually.
http://bricks.stackexchange.com/que...igs-now-glued-on-and-how-should-i-remove-them
"The problem was that LEGO Star Wars magnet sets violated a licensing agreement which said that LEGO could produce sets that contained Star Wars characters, but that they couldn't produce stand-alone figures. Apparently, one of the other big-name toy brands who was licences to produce stand-alone figures objected to the LEGO magnet products because they felt that the availability of LEGO Star Wars figures on magnets harmed their own sales figures."
EDIT: Now that they have the new LEGO magnets, I wish LEGO would bring back the old magnet brick with minifigures. The only different is they would not have any licensed minifigs for those. The licensed ones could be the new magnet format. I stopped buying the old magnet sets once I found out they were glued.
Dang you Hasbro! Ahh well, SW isn't what it used to be, but then, neither is The Simpsons -__- I do like that LEGO is branching out with their minifigure sets into third party licenses. It could go to a lot of interesting places. Just sucks that so many great properties are licensed for figures.
Was digging around and found one of the sets I owned as a kid. Trying to find more. I miss it! Loved those forestmen

That set is awesome, the one Forestmen set I don't have.
I think I had two Forestmen, one with a cart that could hide a man underneath it, and one that was a big tree fort with a portcullis. The entire back of the fort hinged open.
I remember being an OCD child and hating that the vine whip loop was loose and did not stay on the pips very well though.

Playing LEGO Marvel and trying to 100% it right now, I realized how LEGO could own my wallet if they'd release at least half of the super heroes featured in this game.
I am really happy I am getting Red Skull, Modok, Falcon, Taskmaster and a Hydra Soldier, BUT 5 sets for the whole 2014? is that it? is that all that LEGO is going to do with that license in 2014?
I was hoping they would redesign Captain America and give him a helmet similar to Flash, I just can't understand how LEGO decide who can have a helmet and who can't when their masks/cowls are almost the same in the comics.
Cap movie 2 is coming and it was the best opportunity to release a few new sets, oh well..

That's a signature of the modulars - the minifig faces are always the classic style.
I appreciate the nod to the past, but I would rather they use the current faces myself.

Nah. Keep it classic. Just make the build itself insane and modern.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Checked ikea's website this morning after organizing the table I bought yesterday. Found this corner piece which will be perfect for me. Getting two of these to go along with the 3 tables I got yesterday will work out exactly right.
http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/60251335/
I was gonna buy them online but they want $250 just for shipping. I was only gonna spend 75 or so for the corner pieces.

Same source as the LEGO Movie Sea Cow leak... someone in Mexico is going to get into a LOT of trouble if LEGO can find the leak.
Observations:
- MUST HAVE - it would integrate nicely into a LEGO neighbourhood if you didn't use the minifigs.
- Another set with 2500+ pieces!
- LOL - the Plutonium rod on the driveway!
- The set number is interesting - that is the CMF number progression, and I would have thought that 71006 would have been the Simpsons CMF number.
- This may be the only Simpsons set in 2014, with a Simpsons CMF series (71007?) to go with it.

I'm indifferent to the figs, but I'm all over that house.
Not a fan of the minifig head designs - almost everyone looks like they need a nap - but I do like the rest of bodies.
I'm hoping Marge's hair is removable - I think either by using existing minifig faces, or by some custom LEGO printer, we could get minifig-compatible heads for the Simpsons characters, to use in place of LEGO's versions.
Regardless, the house looks awesome!

I am disappointed on those minifigures, really not feeling them at all, they don't look LEGO to me, awesome House, but not looking good so far.

Wow, 2500 pieces! I love it. I wad expecting one of those fake Disney theme park style set. I am probably a minority but I like the minifigures.

Don't care for the minifigures one bit but that house looks really good. Now does it look as good inside as it does outside, that is the key.
I'm hoping for the Sandcrawler.

The house looks awesome, but the figures look merely okay. This is a must buy in my opinion. And that piece count is nuts. Now I want better pics of the backside and interior.

It opens up like the Haunted House. You can see the hinges on the chimney.
Hmmm...looks like a $250-$300 set.
EDIT: Duh, you can see it opening in the smaller photo on the box.
NOT a fan of the sleep/shifty eye look also. Lisa's eyes almost look fully open.
Hope they have some alternate versions of the main cast in the CMFs or future sets.
Based on the existing heads, I think they went full on one mould for all the heads. It gives a better look, but takes away from the fun of swapping hair pieces around like most minifigs.
EDIT: Looks like Maggie's eyes are fully open. I wouldn't be so meh on the minifigs if they had eyes fully open. Flanders looks good (insert flanders in tight ski-suit).

Wow, that house looks amazing! There must be quite a bit of interior detail, as well, given the piece count but also because the house swings open in half to how the inside. I hope the interior is as good as recent modulars.
Regardless, it's a must buy.

Carlos S on Eurobricks has two major scoops in a row. Damn. His friend of a brother, or whatever the connection is, is delivering big time.
I know Ghostmind asked for Sandcrawler box art, now I want Benny's Spaceship box art.

could care less about the figs but I may get it after all just for that house.
The Simpsons house is all over Twitter right now... how does LEGO respond? Do they respond? Was this the reveal planned for next Saturday? If so, they can probably coast until then. If not, then do they make it official now, or stick their fingers in their eyes ears and shout "LAAA LAAA LAAA"?
I imagine a lot of angry emails at the moment...
