Target here only has things 20% off at clearance. Lame. $42 for Sentinel set. $21 for Infearno. I didn't get anything then.
And still no Quinjet in sight.

Count me in for a couple of them. Let me know if you decide to proceed. Love the purple & powder-blue ones.

I picked this up at 20% off today. It's my first Ultra Agents set so I don't know what to expect.
It will probably get built before all of the rest of the stuff in my backlog!

Found these at Toys R Us today. Love that Ninjago headpiece.

I click it but I don't see anything.

I shortened the link which I like to do, but maybe it's a problem with the link...
it let me buy one so I think it should show up
try this link?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NHQFILA/?tag=neogaf0e-20
If you still can't see it, try searching amazon for LEGO hulk buster smash (hulk buster two words) and hopefully you'll find it
I can search for it but clicking it takes me to the home page. That might have taken it off.
i've restested the link over and over... works every time. dunno what to say
anyway if you want to buy one i hope you can find it
how I found it:
go to amazon.com front page (or use your browser's built-in search), search for LEGO then filter the search by toys & games, then filter it again by newest arrivals, then filter it again by Prime shipping eligable... you should see it

I picked up a bunch of that swamp copter for $1 apiece at Target last week. Polybags will make great party favors.

So was this their apology for snubbing the LEGO movie from the Best Animated Film category?

This worked for me. I had to switch from mobile to full desktop.
Oh. I wonder if neon and jeff were also on mobile
I try to avoid mobile links at all times... besides, most mobile devices will convert it to mobile automatically. but it doesn't usually do so the other way around.

The amount of stickers in that set just made my head explode. The sticker to piece ratio has to be some sort of record.

I'm on mobile so that might be why.
Sticker Champions is serious business.
Even without the stickers, I do appreciate the lines on these builds.

Thank you. I was at work and missed that.
Bonus appearance by the best Batman in a long time!
Agreed. The builds on those cars are really, really nice.

LEGO is firing on all cylinders with all these new sets and themes.
Speed Champions has me really excited (and I'm not into cars). It's amazing how just a couple new moulds allowed LEGO to capture the iconic looks of those cars better.
LEGO may even make me apply stickers for the first time since coming out of the dark ages. I hope applying stickers for the first time isn't as painful as I heard.

Well its not like stickers on race cars isn't legit, I mean decals are on actual race cars too
Bitter day.
Im deploying REALLY soon, so yesterday I began the painful task of taking down and storing some LEGO sets. Not all, mostly Mixels and DC sets for now.
Anyways, I find out my tax return will be coming in tomorrow. Cool cool. That'll help with all the new containers. At the point, I tell myself: besides the Helicarrier thats coming in soon, no more LEGO sets until I return from the deployment...
Well.
The girlfriend and I go to TRU because we're bored. Our TRU NEVER gets new sets early. Never. But whats this?
Speed Champions? Check.
New Avengers sets? Check.
Elves sets? Check.
New Ninjago? Check.
It hurt. Bad. She offered to buy me the new Quinjet, but I couldn't. It would hurt too much.
TL;DR: New sets are out, early, and I imposed a no buying rule on self. Sadness.

Oh man, I just don't have the money or space for all these upcoming sets. I'll stick with my plan, which is a budget of about 500-600$ for LEGO this year.
I'm already at 200$ with the lone ranger confederation train (50$) + Benny's spaceship X3 (70$), Super secret dropship (50$) and snowspeeder. Thank god that I got all of them with very good discount as I should be near my limit already.I'm planning on getting the annual winter village set and something else. I want a big, exclusive LEGO set so it's either going to be the upcoming Hoth base or the Seacow. One in October and the other in november in order to get X2 VIP points and the bonus WV sets. :] Everything else will wait until next year, or around christmas which will mark the discount period for a lot of LEGO sets.
I'm guessing this is how most AFOL deal with the addiction of buying sets versus the expensive price tag and the potential lack of space (planning and having a budget). There's also a point where you must sell sets in order to buy more right? :^p

Go SeaCow this year, because you will have all of next year to get Echo Base.
I am excited for Echo Base because the huge Star Wars playsets are always great (Best Star and Ewok Village are killer), but Sea Cow was my favorite set of last year. Just magnificent.
EDIT: After tonight's Oscars, I think the title for OT 5 should be "Everything is still awesome!"

I just get a bigger house >.>. But really, when I run out of display space, sets come down and go into the collective and new ones go up. Also there are many sets that are just playsets so they get built, taken apart and go into the collective. I don't like to sell sets as I want to keep the pieces for parts.
Yeah, the big Star Wars playsets are fantastic. So far, I haven't been impressed with the older rendition of the Hoth base, but I'm sure that I'm going to have a hard time resisting if it's as good as I believe it can be (want a bacta tank Luke). Adding an AT-AT + my snowspeeder and the Hoth Solo minifig would be icing on the cake.
I just might buy the AT-AT and wait next year for the Hoth base, or buy the Seacow in march if I end up receiving a bigger than anticipated tax return(blowing my planned budget, but hey lol). :] I never had a LEGO boat, but I'm more tempted than ever now that I have a modern classic with the Spaceship X 3 (and Seacow is another classic in the making).
I'd really like to see what the Speed Champions sets look like without stickers. Any photos of that anywhere yet?
It's kind of a bummer, Porsches are my favorite cars, but I'm not a fan of those Lego Porsches at all. I think I'll just hold off and see if I can get them on a decent discount.

Just got the Milano. Its sooooo awesome! It looks good from every angle, even the back. There were some clever techniques to get the right shape, like how the front was made. And the mini figures are great, I love Starlord. Only problem I have with it was all the stickers. There's way too many. I got some dust bubbles under some but you only notice it when lights shining directly on it so its not so bad I guess.

I never bothered with the stickers on mine. It still looks awesome without them.
I do love how you can pose all the protruding wings. The ship can look relaxed or aggressive depending on how you angle all the wings and fins. So awesome.

Not getting Speed Champions but I have to agree that they did a great job on the cars, they look really good. Not so hot about those stickers...imagine what a UCS Speed Champions set would have in terms of stickers, haha.

Thank you so much! That set's going to be a pain to find when the film comes out. Kids are going to gobble up anything Hulkbuster.
These third-party LEGO baseplate packs are burning up the charts on amazon. The market is really responding to LEGO's price gouging on baseplates lately. I'm even tempted to get some.

I notice by reading amazon reviews and their comments that the company behind these is very active in engaging with people who are buying their stuff, that could be a good sign.
Welcome! Mine is preparing for shipment now. Yess!

First time I saw that set and it looks pretty good, now I'm tempted to buy it...ugh
It's hard for me to hold off on superhero or star wars sets.
And for movie sets, I like getting at least 1 or 2 before the release, serves as a good "preview" for my building and geeky fandom needs But patience always pays off with LEGO... won't be long and it'll be discounted to $25 or below -- close to $22 or even $20 is possible over the coming months with good timing, if you keep an eye on things.

I'd rather prefer Lego Movie over Big Hero 6, and this is coming from someone who likes another movie than both.
Yeah, there is just really no reason other than profits for the raise in baseplate price. The Baseplates have the exact same mold they have had for like 30+ years and LEGO has factories in cheap labor areas of the world. Since these other companies are able to pump out the same thing for cheaper, it is sorta telling. Wonder if it will come back and bit them in a big enough way that they lower the price again.
I have before, but it stinks and is messy, toothpaste almost works as well just with a little more elbow grease, some with an eraser

I'm looking to trade Minifigs.
I need The Snake Charmer and Samurai from Series 13
Can offer Evil Wizard and Galaxy Trooper from Series 13
Or anything from the Buy and Sell thread

Darn, was liking the look of the R2D2 set but the non-studless head kinda ruined it.
with that said I appreciate that it has more than one palette in its brickset unlike the others (well, maybe aside from B Fighter)

The specific London Olympic Minifigs, they were sold exclusively in the UK.
