Yep, now is the Easter seasonal out now or not till april?
Also, is the brickwall refresh this month or next?
The Easter seasonal set is available now, and I would expect it to sell out prior to April.
We need a list of useful lego websites posted on the first page with the rest of the stuff. Like that website that does new parts reviews and the one that updates the wall as well as reviews whats new on the wall and the various blogger sites. I lost all my links and now I am trying to rebuild it all again.

My wife is out shopping and said she'd hit Target for me to see if any of the sets from last week dropped any further in price. I'd like that X-Men set!

Wife grabbed the X-Men set for $30. Cheap enough for me to pick up, but too expensive to buy multiples.
Also, the Agent stuff is still there and has all been marked down another 10-15% from last week when I picked them up. If they continue to drop, I may grab multiples later.

Could you check the last page in the instructions for the Easter set to see if it shows the next seasonal set?

Still no Hulkbuster on the Aussie site. 
No Quicksilver either.
No Quicksilver either.
Stopped by Walmart again today to check on clearance. I don't think there were any new markdowns, but I checked the TMNT stuff which I skipped last time and the Turtle Van Takedown, which I've had my eye on for a while, was $19 so I bought that. Pretty happy about that price.
The Sub Under Sea Chase was also heavily discounted to $30, which puts it at something like $0.04 per piece, but I just couldn't find any redeeming qualities in that set, so I passed on it.
All the other TMNT sets (except for the underground lair) were clearanced as well, but the other discounts weren't anything too crazy.
Also, looks like all the Milanos sold out, so there goes my hope for getting it at an even cheaper clearance price.

Got the Hulkbuster, and it is a wonderful set. Such a great thing for just $30.

Just wondering, do you get any money for having a design become an actual set on Lego Ideas or does Lego get all the money for your idea? That would be kind of lame.

I just got the Turtle Van as well, and it's pretty crazy how expensive it used to be, for a set that's rather mundane. Weird colours overall, but it turns out there's plenty of usable parts.
I was a little surprised though to see that the set comes in two completely separate designs. One has the train cart undercarriage and one builds a Technic base (mine was the latter). It's weird, does Lego ever overhaul a set like that? I'd thought they'd have enough for the wave and then phase it out.
Edit: Nevermind, I was talking about the non-movie version of the turtle van: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/79104_The_Shellraiser_Street_Chase

Helicarrier
Pet Shop
Mixels

Exo Suit is still available on Amazon. Still debating on getting it or not.

The more I play with the set, the more I love it. I still need the Brainiac set, but so far this is the new Lex Power Armor.
Quinjet, bro. Gotta get it. Besides, how else are you going to get Vision?
True. Also how else will you transport the pets for the Pet Shop?
Toys R Us has a nice deal: $5 off $25 LEGO purchase. Great since the new sets aren't marked up yet.

I hope Pet Shop is decided. It won't be around for much longer, and it's great. Also, Palace Cinema is probably safe for now but after this year, who knows?

Is double VIP all month?
Only from March 14th to 29th.
All the Ultron and Elves sets went up today on the UK store, but if its double points later I reckon I can wait.

Things like this are why Hagrid is my favorite Minifig.

Kay, thank you. Guess I'm gonna wait until it starts to make some purchases.

^^ That is incredible! So much balancing.
I loved the Hulkbuster set. Agreed on all counts, the mech is fantastic and I actually enjoy the launchers.
TLG is killing it with minifigs & accessories these days. I got the B-Wing on discount earlier this month and the figures are just so good. Love the pilot's helmet.

I would have preferred to have waited until double VIP but didn't want to risk missing out on the Easter set, so I went with a couple of those, series 4 mixels and the Shadow Troopers set to get it up to free shipping. Still undecided on what to get later this month during double pts.
This is the only good thing about not having a Lego Store in my city. It's a big city (Jacksonville) and has the potential of getting a store eventually so I can get one of these. Also I would love to apply for a part time job to get that awesome discount.
Just got home and checked, nothing on the next set.

Although I have the B-Wing UCS I have thought about getting the regular set just for the minifigs. The ship itself is so meh compared to the UCS though so i haven't done it yet.
Thanks for checking. Since this year's sets look to be celebrating "occassions", rather thans "seasons", I wonder if the rest of them will be "Thanksgiving", "Halloween", and "Christmas".
I've wondered why they stuck a Gray Squadron pilot, who is a Y-Wing pilot, in the B-Wing set. Not that it isn't appreciated, as that minifig has a terrific helmet print.
In fact, all of the recent rebel pilots look great:

Agreed, the Turtle minifigs themselves are awesome, but the sets are very bleh.
Whenever I see that B-Wing pilot with the pink visor, I think of the Psylocke (ninja version) with the pink glow around her eyes.

Just having a look at the different regions on the Lego site, US have both of these sets but AU and UK don't. Weird. Anyone know why this would be?

We've been speculating that there'll be a 4th of July "summer" set, but otherwise I'd guess you're right and they'll follow the same release pattern as last year with themed scenes instead of themed animals.
That would be nice as there is such a long wait in between the Easter one and the fall when the Halloween and Thanksgiving ones hit. They need something in that 6 month gap in between and other than the 4th, that you mentioned, there isn't much else that seems to work unless they did like a little graduation scene in a couple of months but that's not really a holiday, which these seem to be more centered around.
Well hmmm considering they do Thanksgiving, I wonder if there will be a USA centric 4th of July. It's possible. What would be cooler and give more broad distribution would be if they did a summer theme May the 4th set with some star wars tie in

I absolutely adore the Speed Champions sets. I picked up the Ferrari GT and the Porsche 918 Spyder.
I was shocked that the Ferrari actually had two instruction books for a 151 piece set.
Sticker sheet from HELL!

I have to admit, The Ferrari looks pretty f'in sweet with all the stickers.

Was one of the instruction books just for how to apply the stickers?

I thought the Exo suit was one of the best sets last year. I understand the complaints that its sort of fragile but to me it wasn't an issue.
Two-thirds finished building the Turtle Van Takedown. I really, really dig this set so far. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be. A really chunky, solid vehicle. Also, the little set piece/side build thing ended up being cooler than I was expecting.
I'd highly recommend it if you can find it on clearance. I'd still be hesitant to recommend it at the $40 MSRP, but at $20 it's a fantastic set.
Man, clearance LEGO season is the best.
Also, has anyone modded a Kool-Aid Man minifig out of this dude?
That set was $13 at Walmart and I kinda wanted it just for that fig. All I can think of when I see him is the Kool-Aid Man.

It is dwarfed by the UCS, yeah. As someone who has no recollection of the ship from Jedi it's quickly turned into one of my favorite designs. I may leave the 2014 version intact and try to source some older ones for a B-Wing vignette through the ages.
The A-Wing pilot still may be my favorite SW fig yet. It is such a fully fleshed out fig.
