One of these days, I will get around to building a Spaceman Spiff MOC. I keep seeing all these MOC's and I want to build something darn it.

lol yeah, I'd hate to be the guy that has to move all that around.
You and me both. At first glance the farm wasn't impressive (compared to the skyscrapers), but I did like some of the things they did. They used spiderman's webs as pesticide coming from the plane that is crop dusting. The combine harvesting the crops was a neat idea too.
I did see the Lego combine at a thrift store a couple years ago. It was really tempting, but was marked up to like $75. I think the MSRP was somewhere around $35. Still wish I would have snagged it though.
LOL. That was my first thought as well. I wonder how sturdy the buildings were.
Oh I need that mini-walker and flower cart. Are all three available Jan 1st? Min purchase or specific purchase?
Edit: NM, found calendar. Friends and Star Wars are with specific purchase and Flower Cart is over $75 purchase.

That flower cart is so great.

Do you have to spend a set amount of money to get those?
If the skyscrapers are anything like the ones my lug does they will be hollow inside with Lego plate cross bracing at intervals. Oftentimes the inside of buildings are ugly as sin.

For $15 this will be one of the first sets I get in 2015.
I believe this is the first LEGO set ever that includes an eat and poop play feature. Maybe a few parents will complain and it will become a collectors item. LOL

I'm actually worried parents will complain.

So a German Lego catalog is out and it seems Pirates is releasing in April and Elves in March. Oh well, it spreads out the joy I guess. I'm getting the skull cove, the pirate ship, the elf tree and the elf boat.
On January 1st though, I'm getting Detective's Office, Jasmine's set, and the two smaller Movie sets. The pain in my wallet! In fact, I might even split up the order to get multiple extra polys... if nothing else I can grab a few CMFs to fill it up.

The clerk at the store I got this from is putting aside all the 2015 SW Battle Packs for me tonight when the box arrives. Christmas has officially come early.

I shall have to go check. And I am not in a rush for the AT-AT. It is apparently on sale until 1/4, so I have weeks even if I don't get the coupon.
Ha, guess i didnt read the description on that $40 Dol Guldur set from AWD well. Got a box from UPS and was like this is to small to be the set. Opened it and it was the bags, instructions and sticker sheet loose no box. Everything is ther though and in great condition so for $40 im keeping it. Box would just be broke down in my closet anyways.
Oh, trust me: I am not siding with these hypothetical lame non LEGO loving parents.

I know. And I know that you are correct in that there will be some people protesting it too.

Eh I dunno, I've seen other toys do stuff like this and no one seemed to raise a fuss but eh I could be wrong!
Wait till they get a load of the next Mixel tribe. The Flatulators.

Sex is totally natural. O_O
Just saying there are people that complain about almost anything.
Haha. Good one guys. I also see what you did there with "load".
You should know the powers of the force. Waving hand... "These are the sets I'm looking for."
I don't care about the play feature but the set just looks cool.
I bought the cat and mouse set based in opinions here and I didt like it, however.
This is a great first set to start the new year off with - it was my first set for 2015 as well.

I must have been one of the first to get it, because the pooping feature had not been mentioned anywhere at the time. It certainly surprised me, but I wasn't offended.
I saw the final Hobbit movie this morning, and it pains me to see how little of the movie that LEGO actually captured in brick form. I wish the theme had been much more popular at retail, but it was not to be. Perhaps LEGO will revisit Middle-Earth again someday.
My TRU running low on LEGO sets saved me from buying the Smaug set on impulse after the movie, however. Need to stay strong and wait for a sale!

I saw your post so I knew about the pooping. The instruction booklet implies that you feed the bird and it falls down to the poop chute area for the bird to poop. That part I was not aware. I think it's great! Does the opening by the mouth do indeed lead to the tail section?
Demand for LEGO is high this year. Also, maybe retailers feel the economy here in the US is doing better so they didn't go overboard with the huge discounts we saw last year.
I'm hoping this leads to a decent after X-Mas clearance somehow. Shelves aren't bare like last year around this time.
Yeah, the head itself is sealed, but there is a hinge at the back of the neck, which opens it up to put the circle tiles in, which then drop down to the rear end of the bird, where it is held until you lift the bird's tail feathers. The main body is somewhat hollow, but not fragile.
Can't wait to find some SW and DC Superhero sets.I'm gonna be all over that free mini AT-DP! I love mini Star Wars sets so much. I only have one of them though...

First Rainforest Animals, then the City Refuse Vehicle. Is 2015 going to be Year of the Brick?
Yes, that kind of brick. I'm sorry.

Lego needs to stop with the brick-built sports equipment, it looks like garbage. First the winter hockey set (when they already have moulded hockey sticks!!) and now that embarrassing golf club. Shameful!
So exciting... just days away from being able to order a ton of new sets off S@H >.<
As someone who needs to build a custom Casey Jones, I'd love more sets to include the hockey stick. It baffles me as well.

Fallingwater is going to take a big spike in the aftermarket I think.

Did they ever retire sets as quickly in the past or is this a recent thing?
PalaceBrother

I think it is due to how many sets they have "in production" these days. At least in the last few years I don't think they have ever had so many sets across so many lines.
I could be wrong but I am regularly surprised at the volume of releases these days.

I should be used to it but it still surprises me how many new sets they put out each year. It wasn't like this when I was a kid.
You and me both. It's starting to go down the path my videogame hobby used to.
