Hey Lego GAF, I've recently come into possession of a Macro lens, and I'm wanting to do some like weird psuedo street photography with Legos now. I've got one modular, the Detective's office, and am considering getting a second to go with it, but I've got one problem: Streets! What's the best street piece that won't look ridiculous with the modulars? They already have a sidewalk so I'm afraid that the standard street piece might look a little weird, and since the modulars use the full on base it's not like I can just attach it straight on the top either. Any ideas?

Waiting for the Ferrari to go live on LEGO s@h, but it still lists as $99.99 and not the original announced price of $89.99. I think I will wait until this gets sorted out.

There are a few options:

a) Rebuild the modular across two plates, up to the edge of the street.
b) Build a street section with tiles on a regular baseplate and just put it along the modular baseplate (I'm doing this, although the downside is that you don't get a difference in levels between the road and the sidewalk).
c) Build the street section using SNOT so that the top of it is entirely flat, and simply place the modular on top of it.

I used road plates which are the same size as the large square modular plates. built out the pavement a little way to overlap - worked pretty well.

Can't find pics now but I'll see if I can find any. Pretty sure I posted some in a previous Lego thread here ages ago.

So long Death Star. I wonder if they are planning replacement.
Click to expand...

Oh they totally are. There's a Star Wars movie coming out next year that's about a mission to steal the Death Star's schematics. There's no way they'll pass on the opportunity to cash in on a new Death Star. This isn't any insider info, to me it's just logical business sense.

I had no idea what the what plot to the Force Awakens was until now .... the fact it involves
Death Star plans
was completely unbeknownst to me. Is that unreasonable?

Be sure to post any Prime Day Lego deals here if you see them!

Wal-Mart may have some to since they are trying to throw some competition into the mix.

That's not the plot of The Force Awakens, it's the plot of the first Star Wars Anthology film, Rebel One. It's been widely reported alongside the reveal of that film so it's not really a spoiler (unless you didn't want to know anything at all about the film). It's not the same as revealing the ep VII plot (which so far I don't think they've done), anyway.

Now I can't find the Ferrari on LEGO.com. I was going to check if the price was corrected and then order, but I can't find it through search at all.
Click to expand...

Price is 99.99 now, not sure what it was listed at before.

http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ferrari-F40-10248

I found it on the "what's new" section. but it was showing as "in sock aug 1st" earlier, now you can add to cart.

Also found the Ninjago temple. I could not find it earlier. It's not in stock till Sept 1st though. I really want this but not sure I have the budget for it this year because of Star Wars

amazon.com is now sold out of the death star. maybe there's more in the supply chain making it their way but probably not a lot.

target.com still has it for MSRP.

I didn't know about it either. No doubt the trailer would have revealed it, but I'm trying to stay as dark as possible outside of the trailers. Not upset at reading it....figured there must be a new DS coming given the set's retirement.

I just got Minecraft 21118 The Mine (922 pieces) for $70 shipped thanks to the 15% off deal! Liking this. I picked up the Tydirium at Target for a little under $80. Still a fine deal.

FliXFantatier, I wish you luck in offloading some of those items.

Do those prices include shipping? it does not specifiy either way.

All the best, but always sad to see someone get rid of so much! Hope it's for a good reason/cause.

Both sets seem to be rather similar to the originals, but nice figures. Does Finn have a new hairpiece?

I hope so... it looks similar to the older hair piece used by, for example, Lando... only it has a slight texture to it to better resemble afro-textured hair I think?

No real Lego deals today so far anyways so good pickups.

What the hell, is that
Halloween
themed X-wing?? I'm really not sure how I feel about that. The MF is about what I was expecting with the new dish. Good stuff.

Well seeing as shipping varies greatly depending on where they are going. It does not include it per se. The prices are oriented along the lower end of the Bricklink price spectrum for the sets in Europe.

Meh, Halloween X-Wing is only about 150 more pieces than the excellent 9493 and that Falcon is around the same piece count as 7965. I've got both so these are easy passes for me.

GOOD... Gooooood.

The TFA sets are looking great so far, though I am a little bummed that they couldn't do a rolling BB-8.
