I pretty bought the entire line aside from first two big sets in the first wave. Wonderful series, but it didn't reach the heights of Alien Conquest.
lol! I agree. Total mall cop.
I actually have two of those now... have a feeling i may have 3 before the month is over... especially if that Simpsons House hits early like ghostmind indicated.
I ordered a few older Atlantis sets I found at a good price. Really love the minifigs in them.
Also snagged a gold dragon for $19 and change... not a huge Ninjago fan but I'm trying to diversify
I pose yet another question to LEGO GAF... what are your experiences with LEGO games? Not the video games, I mean the board and other table games. However, this includes any game that utilizes in some way physical LEGO bricks, including Life of George (which is an ios/android game that requires taking photos of LEGO bricks.) I have been curious about many of them, including Creationary, Life of George and Heroica to name a few.
Life of George is fun for a little while as you build the different pictures. Make sure you have an iOS device since it's very glitchy on Android.
I've tried a couple other board games, but they're intended for kids. The instructions are sparse and they encourage you to make up the rules.
If you see a Life of George out in the wild (and want it) buy it while you can. It's done and beyond retired.

I'm not sad about galaxy squad death if it means the return of Blacktron, or magnetron.
Does LEGO still make those magnet pieces?
Was watching a video review of one of the new Star Wars sets, and I am surprised that LEGO is being allowed to use their new "missile" launchers (the ones on the ships that replace flick fires, not the new minifig guns). The new launchers send out the missile with considerable velocity.
On the other hand, I hope they aren't being nerfed for North America.

Link to said review?
From the leaked images, it looks like the the Mammoth tribe in Chima are big-figs.
Actually I'm far more impressed by this year's Chima sets than last - JANG has done video reviews of a bunch of them, and they've stepped up the design and play features. Plus I like all the new tribes (bats, spiders, scorpions, rhinos). I may pick up this years sets.

So I have built my used '96 6982 Explorien Starship and I am pretty happy with it. It did not really "bring me back", was never a favorite theme, but it's a cool ship. It just felt a tad outdated in how it's built and I do not miss the instruction where an eye is really needed to spot all the changes and parts added on each page. Not the best build experience beacause of this plus worrying about missing parts because the set is used. The robo minifig is also cool.
Thanks for the games answers guys. I saw Life of George on discount. I'm thinking about grabbing it.

If they have the standard warnings and such on the boxes it won't be an issue. As long as they don't hit hard enough to bruise or cut you it's not going to be something they can be sued over. I mean LEGO has not been sued over some kid sticking small pieces in his ears or nose. There are so many projectile toys on the market already.

Nice! Hopefully my backorder will ship this week as well. And, man, I can't wait for LEGO to unveil their redesign of the Cuusoo Exo Suit!

No. You did not go good. You did horrible.
Sigh. I have almost all the parts for that still except for the hull and a couple of masts. Still have the sails though.

I did my first pick a brick today, so good. The lego store I went in Sacramento did not have a lot of good pieces but it was still a lot of fun.
Now I just need to think what I will build with all those windows.

Ooooh. What kinda windows?
And did they have the clear inserts for them? I got a ton of the 1x4x5 (the big boys), but would kill to get a ton of the 1x2 variations. If it was those, I will send a set your way if you can secure a ton of them. If it is the 1x4 variants, don't worry.

None, of those. Maybe my description was wrong, it was a clear piece, like half of this one:
So I guess a 1x2x2

Yeah the wall was very bare when I checked last week. About half the wall empty, other half had odd pieces I would have little use for. You really never know what they are going to have, and I'd be totally fine with that as long as the wall was stocked full or nearly so.
I guess all the people filling their free PAB boxes are why it's been so bare.

Ooooooh. Very nice find indeed. I snagged a bunch of 1x4x3 at one PAB wall once. And my wife got a bunch of the 1x2x2 for me one time. Those pieces that you got are very handy. Could be used for buildings, or they work great for big vehicles like busses.

That's a cool video.
Photo bomb of a comic series I did of Life of George.
Little background. Bentbricks is the antagonist in my comics. Minifig version shown in first photo. Wiener dipping is an ongoing joke on Instagram with a bunch of fellow LEGO people. It was started by a guy going by handle @wiiman on IG.

Brickset of course
Make sure to check out their upgraded site which is still in testing, http://new.brickset.com it's a very substantial upgrade. i really love the rebrickable integration too. Brickset is so great that if it went subscription, I'd hop on. i'm constantly using it. best way to keep track of what you have and what you need. It even has price tracking. see a set for sale on amazon? check the graph and see if it's ever been cheaper and when it was cheaper. can help inform rather you should wait for a better sale or not.I have 3 out of 4, that's good enough for me
Was a great theme, but I'm ready for something new. I guess the upcoming Agents is sorta replacing its place in the line? It seems like LEGO has their licensed sets, their standby sets which is mostly City and its offshoots like the recent coast guard stuff, then they have their experimental stuff like Galaxy Squad, Dino, Agents, Atlantis, etc. which gets 1 or 2 years of years of support and then they move on. I want to see more stuff in this category.I thought so. Watched it 3 times. I need to look more into brickfilms, there's decades worth of material out there. There's surely a lot of gems.
I want one T__T hoping my LEGO store gets some in this week.
I literally hate you! That set is childhood distilled. Keep it safe. depends a lot on what pieces are missing, but a lot of them wouldn't bee too expensive to replace via bricklink. it's a really nice set, so it's probably worth investing a little money to get it complete so you can display it.Found this today at Salvation Army (more than likely incomplete) for $12. Did I do good?
San Fran! I should have but the timing wasn't good for me. Hoping I can hop on the next PAB promo.
Thanks for that. Great job on it. Wiener dipping though... I feel like chortling every time the phrase runs through my head.
It's great... My, those minifig series are adding up fast. Wish I'd jumped on a lot sooner. What a great way to display them all together, you can literally stand in one spot and see them all. Problem is it won't be long and they'll need a second one
I similarly lucked out a year ago and found someone selling one these in its box with nearly all the pieces here in the UK for a relatively bargain price.

PSA or more enabling from fellow addicts.
If you have Fred Myers nearby, they are doing their January buy 2 get 1 free along with sale of older sets (Rancor set for $40). If you pick items with same prices then you can maximized the saving.

If the sails are there and in decent condition, it's a steal. If not, you'll have to spend a lot more to get it into a presentable state. Still an awesome ship either way.

Gonna buy stuff from Amazon, that Lego Movie Set with the Monster Garbage Truck, and maybe some blinds for the Lego Movie minifigs. I plan to get the entire series in february, but I need to make some room first.
Gonna take apart a bunch of sets I have displayed and pack 'em back into their boxes for storage purposes, maybe I'll try getting rid of 'em or trading 'em off.

My LEGO store has massive quantities of the Back to the Future set now. Looks like supply has finally exceeded demand.
This is an amazing MOC. Looks 100% pure LEGO too.

Thanks for the tips from you and Zulithe I found her in less than 5 minutes! Since Fred is doing buy two get one free I decided to grab the rest of the set. She was the hardest one for me to find until you tip off about the hair piece.
