I'll get the Constraction later, really not a focus for me. Maybe on FF.

Site is getting some pretty decent raffic, was slowing down a lot. Ordered advent calendars, seasonal set and a couple minifigs just for fun :p

Got a link to the Thanksgiving set? I can't find it by searching.

And still no Wall-E

Star wars Advent, City Advent, Halloween Seasonal and Free Tractor. Also threw in two random Series 14 even though I have lots of them already cause why not. I love monsters!

That does it for me until... Well, 3 days from now. Then the hurting starts. But it will hurt soooooo good.

Then gotta pony up even more $$$ on Sept 27th for LEGO Dimensions

This month is one for the record books.

I'm holding off on LEGO Dimensions because some retailer might have a nice deal.

For Disney Infinity 3.0's release, Best Buy has a buy 3 get 1 free promotion going on. I'm hoping somebody will have a similar deal when Dimensions releases at the end of the month.

YESSS

The End portal is gonna be bad ass. Gonna have Silverfish, I bet. Maybe even Ender Mites?

Iron Golem better be in a Village set with a Villager. I mean they have the same head, they have to.

Jungle Tree House is totally gonna have a cat. It has to!! Maybe even a watermelon if I'm lucky!!

I've never fought a Wither in the game yet but I hear they're pretty intense. Gonna stick that in my Nether Fortress for sure.


I have a feeling this will be the final wave. They've done pretty much everything, bits from every biome, have all the noteable characters except for Witches and Chickens and underwater stuff.

This may be too obvious but... has a Hotel been suggested yet for a modular building? Imagine something along the lines of that Friends Grand Hotel, only a lot more detailed etc.

Probably, at least some of it. I'm heading there in the morning because it's next to Best Buy where I have to pick up some stuff. I'll report what I find. Hoping to find S14 minifigures, cause I still need 3 to complete my set.

10256 - Red Light District
Click to expand...

I think the set number for this is wrong :eek: :p

Went out yesterday to look at baby prams for the newest one and popped into the local Lego store. Sadly all out of Death Stars, but my other half got the Birds set (she loved building the Robin last night) and I picked up the blue city train.

This is my first train set in over 20 years and I feel a little bit mixed about it. The train continued with the modern Lego building techniques I've seen in smaller sets (which shouldn't be unexpected), so less blocky and I really enjoyed it. The cargo depot just seems a little flimsy, too many big parts. Going to have to pick up the 12v era version to compare now ;)

I like that the power functions means trains can be controlled individually but feel like something is missing with being unable to control points, no signals and decoupling. Definitely feels like a toy train set, compared to the 12v which (to me and my nostalgia) had far more potential. But hey, it's fun and for everything else there is bricklink/ebay :p

Oh and saw the Temple in the window, it really is amazing.... one month to wait though :p Next up is the Falcon on Force Friday :)

So the Wall-E issue is supposedly US only? How is this even possible? Aren't all the sets/builds the same worldwide?

Curious if my set will have the issue when it arrives. Ordered it early today, so I'll probably receive it tomorrow or the day after.

Well... Wall-E now shows as unavailable on amazon. But it was orderable just minutes ago. Either it sold out or amazon pulled it.

*edit* after a few refreshes it shows as orderable. So... keep trying if you don't see it, I guess.

I'm from Europe. I just got it from S@H, no problem ordering it. On the US version it doesn't appear...

Read on Brickfan it was US only, and I was wondering how that is possible. Ah well, we'll see when my set arrives.

You positive on that? If so, then i may just casually stroll into the nearest Lego store next week and pick up one as well... (alongside some constraction sets and CMF14s, i MUST resist that damn Ninjago temple for now at least)

Ninjago Temple... wait for double VIP that we recently learned was coming. That's my plan. :D

Gonna need a breather after these TFA sets, anyway.

Possitive? No. I have no idea what is going on with this set, but ne of the mods commented on the latest article about it (on Brickfan) that it is suposedly US only. I find that really strange, but as it is possible to get Wall-E from the EU S@H it might have a grain of truth.

But it could as well be that the orders on EU S@H aren't shipped until the new version arrives now that I think of it. Ah well, time will tell. If my order is sent tomorrow I can build it thursday.

Or we'll have to see what that official explenation is.

there are ways to get over that disappointment. Horizon Express, Maersk Train, Emerald Night are all beautiful sets, and I think they can all be motorised?

Word about Wall E is that it is not a design issue, but a bad mold one. That is why it only affects the Americas. The EU factory has a good mold.

Take it with a grain of salt untill the official statement hits, I've got it from a online comment

So it's safe to get Wall-E from EU S&H? Woop!

Wall-E is delayed huh? Well I guess that saves me the trouble of trying to figure out how to get to the Lego store on a Tuesday with a 5 year old and a 4 month old in tow.

Probably. To be safe you can wait on the official news, that should hit today. I ordered one anyway. If it is a big problem here too, I'm sure customer service will send a fix. It's just my most anticipated set for the moment. I just couldn't wait as a big Pixar fan

There's not that much disappointment, really enjoyed the engine and truck builds :)

Heh so true, been looking at the old sets on ebay/bricklink, shame on the Emerald Night prices though :(

I saw that monster build a few months ago, it's incredible.
So Lego aren't doing anything about the wall-e problem.

Okay, had expected another explenation. Seems like the problem with the US ones is a different kind then the rotating head?

I'll see when my EU version arrives. I'll probably build it right away (I expect it to arrive on thursday, and I'll probably build it friday), so I can give an impression about the head afterwards

Interesting. Didn't expect that. I don't have that second piece so I can't fix it myself. How bad is it? Must be pretty bad to get delayed.

Have a look at the brickshow review video to see it in action. I've ordered a couple of parts from BL so I'll see if they work out better.

Debating going to Toys R Us and trying to get a Wall-E. Surely any fix would include free parts from LEGO group for those that bought already.

This set is on Sales and Deals on LEGO S@H U.S.
It's a great battle pack if you are into pirates. For 20 minifigs and lots of other elements it's a good deal. I'm tempted...but I think I'll wait and and try my luck to get it during double VIP points. I'm not a big pirate fan, but I could use some pirate and soldier minifigs.

40158 Pirates Chess Set

Sale Price $49.79 ($59.99 MSRP)

Not really into Pirates, but I love chess. I am looking for my first Lego Chess set so I may have to pick this one up.

How about a Star Wars Chess set!
