Anyone else build the stand first when they get a new UCS ship?

Got back from the store. I was torn between Ewok Village and Red-Five, getting both was NOT an option.
I got both.

WTF??? portal?!?!
I'm not a fan of it, but I'd be totally down for some Team Fortress Minifigs (even coming from someone who dosn't play those games)
Wait...WHAT?!
Portal gameplay mechanics in a Lego game.

Star Wars related question. I could still cancel my Parisian Restaurant order and order the Red Five X-Wing but I would lose the $20 i'm saving on the PR. How much longer would you all estimate Red Five has? Do I still have like a month or two?
Love seeing them do something unexpected like Portal. Makes me wonder what else they have in store.
Tie Fighter sorted and ready to build!
This guy!..

Scooby-Doo pack BETTER have Scrappy-Doo in it since apparently the theme is a one-and-done deal!!!

So I heard back from Lego about May the 4th sales in Australia and apparently we don't get any sales at all. That's disappointing. Being a huge Lego and Star Wars fan, I feel ripped off already living in Australia and now we don't even get to join in on the sale fun.
Wow, wow, wow! Portal would be awesome.

Went to my local comic book store for free comic day and they had this huge Lego mural.

Wouldn't that be absolutely terrible ratio?
Edit: misread yea think he had decimal point off. The average I think most people look for is 10 cents PP. If anyone is looking for the best set for PPP ratio then get the Tower Bridge set. That is almost 5 cents PP.

I aint got money to buy sets just for parts!
Except when I bought that one dune buggy for the engine, suspension, and wheels/hubs...

I built the flatiron building and it's now my favorite architecture set.
I contacted Lego customer service though as every curved slope piece has the same scratch pattern. I hope they will replace them. It must be a problem with the mould.

I really want that set. I was hoping to use it to build a $75 shopping cart on S@H and toss a SW keychain in for the promo, but I may be out of luck.
One day when I have mountains of money I want a lego room with a massive mural like this.
I had a look at the prices for the Jurassic Park sets today, Australia gets reamed again, the cheapest set is AUD$40 :|
I went from thinking I'd buy a couple to now contemplating getting none.
Value for money wise it'd be cheaper to buy the big dino set with the T-rex from a few years back.

I'm hoping that the Portal gun is a moulded piece that lets us put either a blue or orange 1x1 trans circle on it
If it's a Level Pack though that means it comes with a figure, accessory, and a vehicle right? I imagine it'll be the girl, the gun, and probably Glados but I wouldn't be surprised if one of those was actually a Companion Cube or Turret.

I was about the buy a ton of them, then I realized it was a digital version without the bonus minifig.

Tie Fighter and X-wing comparison
So as expected, the Tie Fighter is gorgeous, but not terribly fun to build. I will say that the wings were more fun to build than I expected (recommend building them at the same time), but the body was just a standard, uninteresting build. Still it's a beauty.

What I was expecting as well. This one is going to be all about the looks. Those sweet, glorious looks.

Ninjago City is a great looking set and a great parts pack if you want to do anything red and/or Asian.

So how much is the minifig from the new promo going for?
BentBricks

When I purchase items to get exclusive minifig like this, I usually factor in how much it would cost to buy it or how much I could sell it.
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=131796
If I could sell it for close to $20 (or had to pay $20 to get it), that's about 25% off a $75ish purchase. Add wimpy 20% off on some sets and VIP points, that's a good deal (only if you were planning on buying those sets).

Sadly the only SW set that interests me, is one I bought awhile before.
Looks great. I like the gold pieces, heads and those MOCs - wow.
Here is my latest build:
It is really meaty. Compared to Red Five which is a more slim deisgn obviously, and like 500 less pieces.
SiegfriedFM

250.000 pieces isn't that much. I have 72k pieces just in sets and probably around 100k if counting all BL stuff. And I got started three years ago. I'm sure people here have more.
I was wowing more about his space than his piece count.
LEGO Haul yesterday was Dilophosaurus Ambush, ATAT micro, and Boogly Mixel. SO very content.
It is a little disappointing that the Dilopho is a raptor shape but I'm growing to love it cause it makes it bigger and a little more closer to its ACTUAL size. Jeep is fun but seems like it wastes a lot of space in the back, definitely think it could be modified better. Looks good in general though.

PORTAL?!
Oh. My. God.
Does this mean we're also getting a standalone Portal set please?

I still can't come to grips with seeing the Disney logo on Star Wars stuff. It is surreal.

looks so good. How is the height vs the imperial shuttle?
Have a big chunk of Monday to myself. Was thinking to play adult rated games all day with the volume turned up. But now I'm wondering about a trip to the Lego store..

Sigh, they still going for that one unify look for Star Wars packaging and a marquee banknote style figure head of the year design. I think Star Wars packaging are some of the worst toys / merchandise packaging. The Black Series (though a bit bland at time), the 30th anniversary (my favorite of all the modern packaging) and of course the vintage line are awesome but starting around the late 90's they are all the same with different colors and character of the year super impose in the corner. I really don't get the need to have everything look the same.
It took me a long time to adjust to having Hasbro logo on Star Wars toys. I grew up with Kenner only logo.

Any idea how to print/do a costume Lego mini-figure? What's the recommended day to do? I think it is the best to ask in this thread.
And what's the best way to get specific Lego bricks?

Specific bricks: go to Bricklink. It's a little vague, but get an account and make a wanted list, and you can then look for specific shops selling the bricks you need.
Custom figures: the best way is to get a flatbed industrial printer, but that's a little crazy (a Lego fan I know has access to one through work - I'm very jealous). The second best way is to design a print yourself (there are plenty of templates online) and print it, preferrably on clear sticky plastic. The third best way is using some third party to do it for you, expensively (there is an ad for firestartoys.com in Blocks magazine, no idea if they're good or cheap). Or paint them manually, which is hard. Or, you can browse Bricklink for parts that are similar enough, unless you need a very specific design.

I don't have my Imperial Shuttle built to compare, but certainly shorter than it.
