Right now?? Two modulars. Id grab Pet Shop and Parisian Restaurant. Build Pet Shop first, though. PR is on a whole other level.

I'd love to see a more closeup pic of Thanos (if you can manage) at some point, it's kinda hard to tell for me from the box what he actually looks like as far as bigfigs are concerned...
Still disappointed they didn't include the Infinity Gauntlet on his hands (even printed on would have been fine) but i guess that would have been too much detail there...

I just think they'll do an Infinity Gauntlet version later

Yep, and you can just bricklink the detachable fists.

Looking at the Batman vs Superman sets they have a Lex with hair in the action shot and Lex without hair in the minifig section. Confirmation that Lex's hair is a wig in the movie I guess.
UCS Red Five Sex Wing on Amazon Warehouse for $187
Not all of those sets come out on January 1st, right? I'm assuming since the catalog is for January - June 2016, the new sets in that can come out any time between January and June, is that right?

Absolutely, as a SDCC exclusive.

Lol!
I have made a terrible mistake...
I just realized that one of the unopened LEGO boxes I spotted that they were unpacking to stock at target was mixels series 7... but I left the area before they opened that one.
Well one thing is for certain.
It's an excellent base to start from if you want to make (spoilers: Clone Wars tv show)

I now have lego dimensions and the portal 2 pack.
This is the start of something awful isn't it.

I think it was the one to the right of this that had some cool new parts, it's like a 1x1 slope that comes to a point at the top. Like a 1x1 Pyramid Piece
EDIT> Grabbed a pic, on the hammer

Those are on the Nexo blade tank thing too.

I was always interested in most of the Nexo minifigs. The price on those sets kinda put me off a bit. Nothing that a good sale or double VIP points won't fix though.
P.S. We're running out of space! Phonciplebone! Phonciplebone! Phonciplebone!

Same, will wait on a sale to pick up some of these. I like them but I don't love them that much to buy them full price.

I expect to see an increase in Doom and Evil Dead MOCs with the Chaos Chariot spheres and the Book of Monsters. Hope they are both printed.

Tomorrow afternoon. Sorry, retail at Christmas is hell. Had to be at work at 5am today so dragging ass.
Tomorrow. I promise.

No worries, if things are a bit rough take it easy It's not the end of the world if can't post for a few days. Maybe that time off will cure me of my addiction to high quality moulded ABS plastic.

Nah. I am off tomorrow, so plan on finishing it in the morning.
Or right now. My wife is wanting to watch the finale to Haven, so I am not in front of the TV right now. But I am a bit brain dead and having a beer. Just wondering how I managed to get the single busiest day of the year off at work. Just dumb luck.
On a side note, I didn't confirm it, but it seems we may get Nexo Knights in, which means discount!

I wouldn't wish working retail during the holidays on my worst enemy, let alone a fellow AFOL. Keep sane out there!

Honestly, the early mornings have been keeping me sane. Several hours to get stuff done without interruption? SCORE! And not having to stay late to clean up the mess? Double score!
But I do love interacting with most people at this time and being evil and tempting them to buy stuff.
Oh, the sheer volume of R2-D2 measuring cups and lightsaber popsicle molds I have sold through sheer enthusiasm.
And of course talking people into buying the Sphero BB8s just so it isn't in the store at the end of my shift, so I can't spend money to buy it for myself.

I really wish they would update the LDD with all those wonderful new pieces from Nexo Knights and other things.

All I see is Windows and Mac OSX.
I've had Sphero BB8 since force Friday in September, and frankly I would have been better putting the money towards another expensive LEGO set. It's really cool for a bit, but it gets boring soon enough.
PhoncipleBone

That is what has been holding me back. I know I would play with it for a few hours, torture the cats, and then never touch it again.
The discount at work is great, and was even better last week when we got the first batch in since the initial September launch. I could have gotten it for about $95 with tax the other week. This week is $111 or so.
But, I successfully did not give into the Dark Side today. Well, maybe I did by convincing a coworker to buy it instead.
And I know the money I would put towards BB8 would be better suited to Ghostbusters and Brick Bank in a couple of weeks.
I have a pretty big Lego collection, with space shuttles (actually that's the mega block one), submarines, aircraft carriers, and a whole lot of other sets. But here is my Star Wars Legos. Yes, I am getting a curio/case thing eventually. I figured someone here might enjoy it too lol. Most people who come over to my place joke about my affinity for legos.
And yeah, thats a destroyer behind the 3 Star Wars ships, if you were wondering.

Oh...*squeals internally* I would buy some of the Space stuff.
I think next year is going to be expensive with the Death Star and this...

Think the UCS tie will be next on the shopping list for me.

Woahhh I really wanted the snow speeder but resellers have jacked up the old UCS one up, so this should be good

Someone needs to make a program with pictures all of the modulars ever produced and the user can check what they own and arrange them in different ways.
Yes, I am moving and trying out new modular street layouts. How did you guess?!?

Wait, so the Snowspeeder will be UCS or not what with that non 10xxx number?
10xxx numbering for UCS ended when the Sandcrawler came out. Except for Creator Expert, the sets retain their series' numbering.
And yes, all signs point to UCS Snowspeeder, to go along with Assault on Hoth, and the new UCS Death Star for 2016.

Two more 1H sets that we previously did not have images for:
Who keeps buying all those spider droids? It seems to me that there's one in every season of SW stuff, and I can't remember ever seeing them in any media? For that matter, who keeps buying all those crappy little unpainted battle droids?
That Ninjago ship though, holy smoke! It's as if Metalbeard transformed into a jet. So many cool unexpected parts like the rifles used as hinges. I thought shoving a bar into a Technic pin was an illegal technique though (sides of the front).

Death Star is 2016? Phew. Was thinking it would be brutal to get three UCS sets in one single year.
And now just need to do the recommended sets part of the new OT. Using the best of lists and whatnot that people posted to get ideas for it. Should have things ready for when this thread gets locked down.
EDIT: And we are now on the final page. Now I feel the need to rush.
