Looks like UCS Sandcrawler is now crossed off my list. I wasn't going to get the Sandcrawler for the Jawas only, but a cheaper way to get them just made it easier to take Sandcrawler off my to get list.

Ugh another remake set. I know that all set will eventually get remake but I feel like recently this has become quicker and quicker. I recall getting back into LEGO just couple years ago and got Sith Infiltrator and that Driod Escape Pod and both are now being reissued. Yet we have not get many other set like may be update Cloud City or Dagobah. We finally got half hearted Cantina with half of the band (and Cantina missing).

The mini set above really want me to hunt down my two missing sets. My local TRU seems to have a lot of Bakery.

That price tag ...

 

[teeny]

I couldn't wait until Black Friday (and I didn't really want to spend another $99 to get it), so I Bricklinked all the parts for the promotional Gingerbread House. Such an amazing little set. I'm still waiting on two pieces (a pair of orange 2x2 round tiles for the roof), but I couldn't wait to put the rest together.

I also snagged all of the current Bricktober sets. My micro town is shaping up quite nicely.

That micro town is very cool, I've been thinking about building something similar (without access to the Toys R Us sets.

That sounds awesome, but likely too rich for my blood. I think it will go into the "Maybe On Day Probably Not" wishlist with the Death Star

So its an inch shorter than Palace Cinema but 4 inches deeper. Wonder what the piece count is. Sounds like it may be like the Helicarrier with a bad piece to price ratio. Does have alot of minifigs though.

Is that height for the Palace Cinema the highest extent? ie the top fo the red roof about the main door?

I dont have mine built but thats what it says on the description and they usually measure to the tippy top.

The deeper part is what intrigues me, wondering now if it wouldnt fit in a modular lineup because of that.

Hopefully it's butted up against a wall on the left hand side leaving the right hand side a sidewalk. I'm assuming the ectomobile will fit inside as it seems stupid not to

 

[tiggerkiddo]

RIP that Ghostbusters HQ will be so out of my price range. Probably for the best since I doubt I have the time to put together a modular in the first place.

Great news! Always wanted a bunch of Jawas. I also need a few of those new Tusken Raiders.

 

[Fowler]

Ghostbusters HQ is so out of my price range too. But... I mean, this one isn't optional. I love Star Wars so, so much. But Ghostbusters is a level above and beyond even Star Wars for me. I will sell a kidney for this set if I have to. (I mean, we all come with a spare, right?)

Using my powers of deduction (the Helicarrier is CAD$399 as well) the GBHQ will be

JANG and Brickset announce they are parterning up:

From now on Brickset will be embedding JANGBRiCKS video reviews into its set reviews, enabling readers to quickly and easily gain multiple perspectives on the set being reviewed. Meanwhile, JANGBRiCKS will be using Brickset as its primary source of set information, which will be displayed during video reviews.

 

[willp2003]

Slightly surprised the GB HQ doesn't come with the Marshmallow minifig that's coming with dimensions. I wonder if there's another set to come? If not, that dimension set is a must buy.

 

[WordAssassin]

I'm more shocked they didn't include Walter Peck or Zool over the fricking Taxi Zombie. WTF? I kiiiiiiind of get Library Ghost, but Taxi Zombie? Over the two main villains of the movie? And when they're already including 3 other ghosts, including Slimer?

Hrm.

Surely an official reveal can't be too far away?

Yeah, pretty odd. Perhaps 1 or 2 smaller sets with these figs will appear to support this gigantic set?

Making my own Peck shouldn't be too hard and I have tons of other ghosts, so if the firehouse is all we get I'm ok with that.

Yeah you'd think Gozer would be the obvious choice, I can understand throwing in the library ghost and Janine (you can't have the firehouse without her)...but the Zombie Taxi Driver? huh?

I'll be interested to see what version of Louis Tully and Dana Barrett they are, normal or Keymaster/Gatekeeper styled.

I saw on Facebook Marcos Bessa is in the US at the moment, perhaps he's there to reveal the HQ? is there any big shows coming up on the east coast? comic or toy cons or just lego shows?

 

[TomJoadsGhost]

the Louis is flippable from possessed to unpossessed.

its possible that they are considering a temple of zuul as a follow up, with zuul, vinz clortho, gozer and a couple of terror dog figures.

Just the temple portion in the kit but ready for some glorious madman to MOC the whole apartment building underneath.

Possibly, I heard rumours of Ghostbusters sets for the new movie coming out so it wouldn't surprise me if a few from the old showed up at the same time. I'm not sure what this means for my Stay Puft in review, whether it will help or hamper my chance if it getting through. They may already have their own in the works.

 

[Kyari]

Oh no my wallet D:

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Definitely getting the HQ. It's going to be like a deeper Fire Brigade. That means it won't readily fit in my layout, but I'll probably set it along a side alley or something. Hopefully they have several points to attach figures around it - it will be glorious!

No Ecto-1 or Stay Puft sounds like it will be properly enclosed too. What do you think, modular standard or Haunted House dollhouse hinges?

Too bad about Peck though, but I guess he shouldn't be hard to MOC. Him, a random City police and Emmet going to shut down the containment chamber

 

[ninge]

May have to sell my modular fire station to fund that GB HQ!

I hope it fits in the modular street, having two fire stations is so Lego City.

Now I just need six modular police stations.

Not good for Canada right now. Something like 30 cents on the dollar. So there's maybe some hope that the Ghostbusters HQ might be slightly more reasonably priced in the U.S.

 

[ghostmind]

This was from the original leak:

- Over 4600 pieces
- $349.99 USD
- Opens like the Haunted House

BUT its not a firestation. Its a GHOSTBUSTERS headquarters. Completely different.

More from JANG on the Brickset partnership:

Happy news today! The following is a press release that just went live:

Brickset, the premier LEGO set database, and JANGBRiCKS, the leading producer of video reviews of LEGO products on YouTube, today announced a partnership that will introduce new audiences to both resources and benefit the entire LEGO community.
From now on Brickset will be embedding JANGBRiCKS video reviews into its set reviews, enabling readers to quickly and easily gain multiple perspectives on the set being reviewed. Meanwhile, JANGBRiCKS will be using Brickset as its primary source of set information, which will be displayed during video reviews.
"Brickset is my favorite source for LEGO set info and news and the first place I go to research products for all of my LEGO reviews", said Bamidele 'JANG' Shangobunmi. "I also use Brickset's collection management features to track upcoming releases as well as the over 1,000 sets I've reviewed in the past. I'm more than happy to be able to use Brickset data directly in my videos and to help introduce this fantastic resource to my viewers.
“JANGBRiCKS has a huge following on YouTube so I'm pleased that Brickset will feature prominently in his videos." said Huw Millington, Brickset.com’s operator, “Augmenting our written reviews with JANGBRiCKS’ videos will allow our viewers to experience the best of both worlds on a single website.”

I've mentioned my regular use of and respect for Brickset a number of times in the past, and being able to now cooperate directly with them like this both an honor and a pleasure. Most importantly, the core goal of this partnership is to offer more content that viewers of both resources may find valuable.

The humble first fruits of this labor are already visible. Check out the first installment of Brickset's summer Bionicle reviews with my video reviews embedded, and my just-uploaded Ninjago Kai Drifter polybag review with Brickset data embedded, including spots for always-asked-for set pricing information, though this particular set happened to be a free promotional giveaway

Question for my fellow Lego friends. Do you guys and gals tend to stick to one type of Lego theme or do you branch out?

I just started getting back into Lego and I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so I picked up the UCS Tie Fighter and a few other Star Wars sets as well. Some of the Technic sets seem really cool, but I'm not sure if I can budget for all these cool themes.

I would really like to pick up the UCS Slave I now while it's available, should I just skip the technic sets and just focus on Star Wars?

I would really like to pick up the UCS Slave I now while it's available, should I just skip the technic sets and just focus on Star Wars?

It's up to you, your preferences, and your budget.

LEGO can get out of hand quickly, from both a financial and space/storage capacity, so I advise planning out what you want to pick up.

Some of us buy everything from one or two themes, some of us grab only the big D2C sets, some of us get whatever catches our eye (independent of theme), and some of us go nuts and buy a whole lot of everything.

I would suggest picking up one moderately-priced Technic set to see if you enjoy building/collecting it, and then balancing that against any Star Wars sets you will want to pick up in the future. As someone who buys every Star Wars set, I can tell you that this theme can really get expensive very fast. However, I used to buy a lot from almost every theme, and after a few years I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of LEGO I had amassed, so I had to pare things back to what I enjoy the most.

I would really like to pick up the UCS Slave I now while it's available, should I just skip the technic sets and just focus on Star Wars?

If you don't stick to a core theme I think you'd go broke.

Modular is my central theme. Based on that, virtually everything else is at least somewhat compatible. For example, the DC and Marvel sets. The fairground stuff works as well too. I also buy sub themes like Ultra Agents and such. It all works out well and looks good together.

I made a very conscious decision early in my Lego collecting days as to what my primary focus would be.

I have also grabbed a few iconic licensed sets from Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and a few Star Wars OT sets.

I just pick up whatever looks cool to me. Sometimes its a star wars set, sometime its a bionicle set, sometimes its a creator set. I usually dont buy too much of one theme though, and when i buy stuff its usually only in the $50 price range and pretty much never something more than $100, so thats the trade off of getting a variety of stuff without a large budget.

That completely depends on your ambition and resources. There's too much for anyone to be a general Lego completionist, and generally I would recommend against doing it for any specific line either. Figure out what you want to do with it. If it's for display, what kind of stuff do you want to display? How much space do you have? Do you want pieces to build your own models?

It's only if you never use the stuff you buy that it's worthless. And Lego holds its value pretty well. Also, all Lego goes together, just watch the movie and mix anything you like.

Me, I have a mix of LotR stuff, classic and neo-classic Space, Pirates, Castle, and a modular city with all kinds of random stuff thrown in, inspired by the movie.

So the Ghostbusters Firehouse has almost the exact same dimensions as the Haunted House, for height and width, but is twice as deep.

The Haunted House has 2,064 pieces, yet the Firehouse is rumored to have 4,600+ pieces.

Not sure how it could have double the pieces, unless there are some large accessories (Stay Puft) included.

Thank you all for the great responses! I'm going to stick with Star Wars for now to keep me within my budget as there are a few older Star Wars sets I still want to pick up before they start getting the "retired" aftermarket pricing.

Good choice. A solid theme displays extremely well and it's easier to collect IMO.

Star Wars is my prime theme too, but the beauty of LEGO is that everything really does mix together quite well. I do like throwing in some other sets to mix it up and because it's fun -- like Indy and his father trying to bum a ride off the Millennium Falcon...

Ironically, while Star Wars is one of my biggest interests in general, it isn't what I heavily focus with Lego. Granted, I've got a good number of Star Wars sets, but I don't pursue it as hard as some other themes. I think that's mostly because, while Star Wars Legos will retire just like every other Lego set, Star Wars as a theme is an evergreen. I don't suspect it will ever go away. Same thing with Marvel and DC Superheroes. So for some reason, I'm more picky when it comes to those lines, because I figure that when a set is retired, something similar is likely to pop up again at some point. If I don't like the current Batwing, for example, I'm pretty sure there will be another one in a year or two that I may like better.

However, when it comes to other sets that are clearly one-off types, I'm far more eager to buy them up and even become a completionist. Themes like LotR, the Hobbit, TMNT, Ultra Agents, and LotR have been more important to me lately, as I doubt they'll be coming back anytime soon, if ever. (Agents will surely be back at some point under a slightly different name, just as it did the last few times, but it may not be as good as Ultra Agents. TMNT left for Mega Bloks, and I suspect it'll take another reboot in 10-20 years before they'd come back under the Lego fold.)

I started off only getting Star Wars stuff, and I'm a much bigger fan of vehicles rather than play sets, so I only pick up certain sets. I also stick to original trilogy sets, as that's what I grew up with and see those as iconic.
I've since started getting a few creator sets (Mini Cooper, blue power jet, sonic boom) as I think they are great builds and better value for money. I always pick up a few sets that are going cheap, in the thought of giving them as presents to my nieces and nephew, but I've opened and built them all now!

I mostly stick to the DC stuff, but I'll dabble in other bits and pieces if they take my fancy.

I picked up all of the SWTOR subsets from the Star Wars line for instance. Sad they didn't make more of those
