That's really great, especially for a 9 year old.

Lol, that avatar!
I'm getting 5 or 6 Daredevils in the mail (eventually). I'd throw a couple in as prizes for a moc contest.

Got park animals! Great value for only 15 bucks. So cute, and loads of posability on the dog. The 3 and 1 small/medium creator sets are probably my favorite thing in all of Lego right now.

This is a solid run. Lots of great pieces/accessories/animals.

In the high res it looks to me like goat boy does have special legs and not just optical illusion from print.

Wow. I feel a bit like an idiot now. For some reason THAT place never occurred to me. Instead I looked inside the hatch for any pitcutres or notes, on the front, back, opened up the side of calender to see if there was something in there. I even browsed the Lego website for instructions (which there were none off, for this "set").... Damnit ! Oh well, you guys just made the rest of the month a lot easier.
Apparently it's on the back of the gorram lids.
By the way, this thread is awesome

He does. That's definitely not just a print. Makes Beast rather likely for Disney CMF (or, I guess, that guy from Hercules).

Ordered at LEGO and used £30 of VIP points, now they've refunded my VIP points and charged my card another £30 instead.
WTF?
WTF?
Instead of waiting for the Lego Neck Fix, just opted to order this awhile back:

interesting to see that they stopped selling it due to his re-release which I hadn't heard.

Thanks for linking that! I poked around more into his website, and I'm now seriously considering Bricklinking the parts for his Strandbeest.

Wow, that's really neat. I like his other stuff but that's something I would want.
Today is Morro Dragon day! Woo!
Build it! Swoosh it! Be it!

Bask in its glory.Today is Morro Dragon day! Woo!
Hahaha
Finally my Mechdragon will have a friend.
Then after the Morro Dragon, it'll be time to build Wu's Dragon. Poor Wu's Dragon won't even have a fighting chance against the team-up of Mechdragon and Morro Dragon.

Build Wu's Dragon first. I think it's great, but if you build it after Morro, it may not seem as nice.

You think?
I was considering that, but I also want to build Morro while the hype is still strong. I haven't started yet, so I might yet do that.

I built Morro first as well and am now sitting in front of an unopened Wu's box, kinda wondering whether i should even bother since he won't stand a chance i bet... Eh, then again, he may just strike a different note what with the whole good, cute dragon style (complete opposite of Morro really) even though he looks to be much smaller...
This is actually good suggestions Kipp from Bentbricks and Winnie. Just like you I built Morro Dragon first and Wu's Dragon has been sitting here unopened for months. I'm not knocking Wu's Dragon, from reviews it seems like an also fantastic set. I'm not sure any Ninjago sets from that Ghost line were bad. It's just that once you build Morro Dragon its like opening your best Christmas gift before all the others.
Against all advice, I did start building the Morro Dragon first.
I'm halfway through bag 4 of 5. Gonna finish it tomorrow I think. Mostly so I can savor it a bit more. Super cool so far though.
My decision was mostly based on the fact that even if I did build Wu's Dragon first, I'd be building it thinking that it's just the baby dragon that I've gotta build before I get to the Morro Dragon, so it was a damned if you do damned if you don't type situation. Although that phrase doesn't seem quite right, because either way I'll have a great time building it. It's just how to maximize the joy I'll get out of it. Haha
But with that said, I'm still excited to build Wu's Dragon after the Morro Dragon. No, it's not as big and impressive, but it has a style all its own. It's not just a less impressive, cheaper dragon - it's a way different vibe. So yeah, I'm still really looking forward to it. Though to break up the possible monotony, I'm planning to build one or two of the Lone Ranger sets in between.

I just watched the extended Battle of the Five Armies, and damn if it didn't make me want to get Thorin and Dain after all. If I need to pick up the two of them (and maybe Azog), I might as well try to find the actual set even though it's overpriced...
WHOA! Battle for Ninjago City is only $72.98 at TRU!
It's a fantastic Ninjago set that I would highly recommend. I got it for $90 and thought it was a great price for it, so at $72.98 it's a total steal. I mean, it's nearly at $0.05 per piece!
Go go go!
Do it do it do it.
At the very least, you need to get the Temple of Airjitzu. Simply incredible.

Don't forget about Titan Mech Battle! It'll be like Pacific Rim!
This set is still on my to get list.
City of Styx is also on my list to get, but it's lower down the list due to the sparse incomplete look of the main build. The little ship looks great though and is the main attraction for me.
Man, Ninjago has so many minifig variants now.
That's ~40% off MSRP!!! I highly recommend that set as well. It looks great even if it's a playset.

I would even settle for the same print on Dark Blue! At least they did the Iron Spider version. I count Morales black suit even though it's not Peter Parker.
I'd love to see Future Foundation version.
Spider-Man Suit variations

To be fair, there is an Ultimate Spidey minifig, as well as an Iron Spidey minifig (that comes in the set with the aforementioned booted Spidey).

LEGO Target Gift Box is now appearing at Target shelves.
I checked via a Target tracker and it shows stores that carry the item. I went to 2 stores that listed availability today 12/4. They had the price and spot on the shelves, but not placed out yet.

Oh man that Apocalypse Wars comic news is making me so giddy. He has always been favorite my comic book villain since I was a kid. I'm hoping sooooo much we get an Apocalypse fig with a Lego set around the next X-men movie. My dream set would be an Apocalypse fig and his four horsemen and a couple hero figs but i'm probably dreaming on that one.

I hope so too, but it seems like Disney Marvel is hellbent on not promoting anything X-Men movie related by not selling toys tied to the movie. That said, LEGO obviously has put out sets with X-Men characters. I'm curious if that is why there is an absence of any X-Men sets next year.

So guessing that Red Skull sub will be $35, and that Avenjet will be $60-70 so they can overcharge for the figures.More Avengers set images (via just2good):

Just finished the Snowspeeder of the old Wampa Cave set i had lying around and somehow must have forgotten to build... I didn't bother with that "cave" obviously, just the Wampa (which is awesome btw) and the Speeder and honestly, i think it's still a very simple but effective model of the ship for minifig scale! I mean, the new one doesn't look THAT much better...
That said, i can't wait for that UCS Snowspeeder, that's still a thing right?

Red Skull sub screams 50 and the Spacejet a cool 80 because of Marvel tax.
I'm going back to the Dark Ages.
The missus and I have bought an appartment, and we are figuring out the financials now. For now, we are in 'save as much as we can'-mode, which means cutting back on hobby expenses too. Our plans to buy Brick bank in january are shelved for now, and I'm happy the next Star Wars sets aren't really must haves for me if I'm honest with myself (not to say I won't buy the odd microfighter or little 30 euro set)
We are probably overreacting and I guess we will have more financial breathing room then we imagine now (we are counting for worst case scenario's), so let's hope that in a few months we can decide to get that Brick Bank anyway

I think this is an awesome decision you and your wife have made. It's so much nicer making financial decisions when you've already got money in the bank. Bravo!
