CALLED IT! Unikitty tails.
Prohibition on candy. Riiiight. Candy.
Actual mirror piece? Whaaa?
Dat desk fan. Dat bathroom.
How is that watertower made? I am very interested in that.
And a kitchen to make bootleg cookies eh? Why do I see many people replacing the cookie pieces with clear blue stud pieces? They are dealing meth out of the pool hall.

Seriously, this is just hilarious. Some hints of smuggling going on and everyone went "are Lego doing something with the prohibition"? And then it turns out it's about cookies and candy.
I'm seriously gonna put a gang of Friends up in the kitchen making prohibited cookies for everyone.
Lego sent out a VIP only "early access" thing for tomorrow. Considering the only major unreleased sets we know about, could they possibly be selling this and/or Slave 1 already?

Maybe its an opportunity to add in that one LoTR frodo polybag with the beer keg.

On the backside picture it looks like the woman is coming onto the roof to beat the detective with that rolling pin.
Man, the inhabitants of this building are brutal.

Figured I'd post part of my LEGO shelf at the office - it's nice to have one of the big cubicles:

Kudos for collecting Galaxy Squad and Monster Fighters sets.
I'm also a fan of both theme, but I mixed the squad stuff with some Lego space (including the exo-suit and the series 12 space miner minifig).SiegfriedFM

My Lego at work is much more discreet. Currently I only have that custom Mixel parrot there. Used to have the office coffee break diorama before.

Man I really love that Detective Agency...not sure if it's worth buying but I'm so tempted.

It is a modular building. Better yet, it is a Jamie modular building.
It will be worth every penny.

Well, hello there Marcos Bessa and the Avengers/S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
EDIT: It looks...small in that pic. I wanted something SSD sized. At the same time, a set about the size that he is showing is probably well over 2000 pieces anyways.

It looks like the bow of the helicarrier, with a mini-size quinjet floating above. If so, then this is just the tip of the front - the whole thing could be quite massive.

Yeah. I forgot how far back it went. And I hope they have the rotating jetway on top like in that pic.It looks like the bow of the helicarrier, with a mini-size quinjet floating above. If so, then this is just the tip of the front - the whole thing could be quite massive.
And the turbines will probably be huge. Well, they are repulser engines now.
Image enhancement, and that I knew that Bessa was working on something big, and he has strong ties to the Super Hero themes.
Looks like I'm not the only one that picked up on this - its on Eurobricks as well now.

After going back through Simpsons House, I have cooled considerably on it. If it is an indication of what Bessa would do if he got a Modular, then I don't know if it would be a good thing. The best part of Simpsons House was the little furniture and things in it.
However, when it comes to vehicles (Quinjet, Milano) or playsets (Ewok Village), Bessa is really, really damn good in my opinion. Maybe it is best they leave him with the super hero stuff and make some cool vehicles.
Now to wonder if the Helicarrier will be swooshable without breaking your back while doing it.

Watch out, you might need a back brace.

That Detective Agency is a home run! Definitely getting it even though all my other modulars are still in boxes unbuilt because I have space issues.

Lol. Local Wal Mart had zero signs up about the price match sales today. Grabbed Olivia's House and almost some other discounted sets.

FYI, it looks like TRU marked up almost every Monster Fighters set prior to the sale.
The Castle retails for $119 but now it's 40% off of $149.
Gross.

I can't remember who in the crew on this thread said it, but wasn't there some other big Lego Movie related set that was supposed to be revealed? I can go back and look through my posts later (on the phone and it's a hassle at the moment). For said poster, is that secret set still waiting to be revealed?
Hahahaha, those SOBs. Should have saw this coming.
My local TRU has none anyway, however they do have lots of Galaxy Squad.
TRU Canada used to be better about this stuff than its USA counterpart.
Gross indeed.

And this is exactly why I don't buy anything from them unless it's an exclusive. Them poor uninformed parents and grandparents. They don't know how they're being taken advantage of.

Detective Office looks fantastic. I'll definitely buy it, I just need to get some others first. I'm going to put an order in next month for either Pet Shop or PR.. Might go the Pet Shop just because it's older.
PalaceBrother
Member
Yeah, this is the first time I've seen it done so blatantly.
I am still scanning the Constitution Train every single time I go in there....it has to go on sale eventually right?
A wise choice. PR is the better set for me, but it'll be around much longer.

Definitely get Pet Shop. I've heard rumors that it may retire early next year, but who knows for sure. Better to be safe than sorry. You'll have plenty of time to get PR.

I'm shocked that this set is still available on LEGO.com S@H in U.S. Granted it is labeled as Retiring Soon.

And just like that, there was a flat 25% off any Lego at BR Toys this weekend. So I finally caved and bought Palace Cinema. It will look lovely in my new modular town... until I realize that I was saving the last space for Detective's Office. Now what?

Time to make a bigger spot
Yeah, Toys and Bricks says these deals for Lego store and S@H on Saturday for Europe and Oceania. All of the following at 15% off and an addition 5% off if you spend over 100 euro. Gee, I hope the USA gets this deal.... I would totally jump on the Opera House.
EDIT: afaik the USA will get no sales though

Lame. I have $150 in VIP and it's my birthday tomorrow so my present to myself would have been EEE, AA, and Horizon Express.

To everyone that messaged me about the Rocket polybags: I didn't forget about you. I'm in Buffalo and haven't been able to make it to the post office yet for international shipping quotes.
Google Buffalo snow storm for pics.
