Really glad that Ultron is in the cheapest set, since I already have all of the Avengers! Also need to get the Hulkbuster...

Everything is not so awesome at S@H LEGO website for U.S. Seems like it can't handle the traffic or something:
I'm looking to get Minecraft sets and maybe pick up some exclusive stuff. Sales aren't the main attraction for me. Just VIP double points and Minecraft sets.
EDIT: Ooops. No double VIP points.

Each set will have an exclusive variant of Ultron. That way you have to get them all.
What sales?

Sorry i was being sarcastic at the shitty sales they are having. I know EU is usually priced higher so they deserve the discounts they are getting but still it sucks. Only reason i'm up is cause i have a stomach flu with horrible cramps and can't sleep anyways. I'm trying to decide between X-men Blackbird or Hulk Lab Smash to use my VIP points on and if I really want to add some filler TMNT set or keychain for flashback Shredder or not. I don't think i'm going to collect anymore Turtle sets so i'm figuring why bother.

I ordered a joker and turtle keychain to get flashback shredder and jor-el. Time for bed.
So just browsing the S@H, didn't actually plan to buy anything since I got all I really needed last weekend, and I notice that some people are going to be disappointed.
The Brick Friday deals only seem to be the promo set with orders over $99 and the smallish selection of items on sale. No double VIP points. Some of the sale prices are decent enough but only if you wanted those particular sets.

Been dying for the Galactic Titan, but I can't spend $86 on it right now. ;__;

Batgirl and Michaelangelo here. Free shipping made it a no brainer.

Good call on the keychains. I got the Joker one as well. I can always remove the keychain part. I wasn't interested in any of the Turtle keychains so I opted for the cheapest TMNT set which is a nice parts pack.
No double VIP points which I guess is the same as last year. I just forgot. The Flashback Shredder and Jor-El freebies do make up for it though.
I'm looking at some of the items they still have in stock and somehow I feel we'll see some good LEGO store clearance sales at end of they year and start of new year. LEGO just has too much lined up in 2015 to keep lots of inventory IMO.
Who knows, maybe everyone is giving LEGO sets out for XMas and they'll sell out of a lot of the older sets.
Damn, you're probably right.
Still, should be fairly easy to grab them at the minifig shops here.

Lego is saving you money so you have more for those epic sets coming out next year!
Only movie sets for next year?
hope there will be some sets like hulk smash lab and the xmen one
Is the Rocket Raccoon with Baby Groot still being sold at Toys R Us? If so what is the price on it? It is $10 on ebay at the cheapest right now (almost $1 per brick -_-) and I am wondering if I should just jump on it before it jumps in price or if I should take my chances looking for it in the store.

I think I paid 5-6 bucks...maybe for two each at TRU. I could check if my local one has it but probably not for several days at least. Already traded my one extra with a LegoGaf member.

Wow, that's a great haul. Nicely done.
I'm thinking of putting all LEGO purchases on hold until I've fully sorted the pieces from my disassembled sets. I've made great progress on it over the last few weeks but I want to avoid "adding to the pile".
That having been said, my wishlist of current sets is pretty small and I'm worried I'll buckle and get each of them before the new year:

I just finished watching it a few times....I won't post screens in case people are going dark on it but....
incredible Falcon shot. Love the new X-Wing, stupid lightsaber but who cares
Yes! Already watched it twice. Once just for the feelz and second time for potiental sets. Already saw three new ships/vehicles we will get. So hyped.

FFS, lightsaber blades sprouting everywhere. What's wrong with a single blade?
Regarding the LEGO aspect, since this is LEGO-GAF, the next 6 years of Star Wars will give us at least a decade worth of sets to look forward to. With one movie per year, there is no way they are going to be able to keep up with the goldmine of vehicles, locations and characters. Not to mention other SW projects, such as Rebels.
We are about to enter the golden age, my friends.

Just bring back the TIE fighters and I'll be happy honest!
I can't see them not bringing them back.

We best be getting another giant UCS Falcon.
It just goes to show a lack of attention to details (this will be an heavier lightsaber weapon with no benefits whatsoever since another lightsaber blade could easily cut the metal made guard and the hand / fingers lol), but I don't expect all that much from Abrams and his team. If you accept his limits and that we will be getting acceptable popcorn flicks, where's the problem?
Most of you will be talking about and buying the numerous Lego models from this new trilogy anyway (which will probably be more interesting than the movies themselves).
I'm going to have an extra one. Let me know if you don't get one and we can work a trade or let me have first dibs on AWD or something.
There was a rumor about that a while ago, but it wasn't substantial enough.
I do think it is inevitable though.

Whoa dude. This is not thread for bashing the new SW brief trailer. Do not bring that mess here.
JANG reviews the new CREATOR Rainforest Animals set, which he predicts will be the top-selling CREATOR set for 2015:

Well, I expect more from Abrams than I do from Lucas who likes to destroy whats good with his stuff. The best decision Lucas ever made after handing direction for Empire Strikes Back to someone else was his decision to sell and step back from the franchise.
EDIT: But yeah what Ravek said, this is LEGOGAF, lets not thread derail please.
EDIT 2: On the lightsaber side of things, it would work if there was no metal guard or even better, a metal guard right below a full lightsaber guard. If there was no metal to cut it would be pretty effective and the metal guard below it would additionally protect the users hand from accidental self cutting. I would kind of enjoy a rapier type lightsaber style or a broadsword type. A 2 handed broadsword type with a massive blade would really fit my vision of some bad guys wanting brawn over finesse. I always view the darkside as something that twists or warps the original "light" so doing something like this is effective to me, it just needs to be done better. By twisting, I mean they have a misguided vision that by adding blades and such it makes them better. If you view it this way then that blade is actually a decent idea just poorly executed.
Edit 3: looking at the length of the lightsaber blade, that is definitely 2 hand sword length or longer, thing looks massive. I foresee a new trans-color lego brick bar piece
They created a new mould for the Inquisitor's lightsaber hilt - they will definitely do one(s) for the new movie. And yes, and extra-long blade looks to be necessary as well. Not sure if they already produce that part or not.

I am betting on it, but I think it will come later than sooner. They will have two choices for the version: The Force Awakens" or the solo "Han Solo origins" movie. I don't think it will be the OT version. I'm thinking sometime in the next 3 years closer to 2-3 years.

Got back from Brick 2014.
Must say it was less crowdd than I htought it was going to be. got there 10 minutes before opening and it only took 2 minutes to get in once the gates were open. Need to upload photos but some choice shots are below.
Also a pic of my haul.
