It was mentioned in this thread there was a difference between the GB HQ Slimer and the Dimensions Slimer. I don't have either yet. Thought I'd post an image of the differences.

I was gonna do a similar pic but I couldn't find my firehouse one. I do prefer the lighter colour but to be honest neither of them are terribly great. They seem to be designed to match the cartoon series/GBII look over the original film. That and I'm not a fan of the massive mouth printed on, or the printing general. I prefer my custom job I bought even if the arms come off

Man, these builds are incredible. Love the dispensers and even the trans-yellow piece in the toilet. Very clever.
I agree with him completely.
You might be on to something.....

Oh wow, the Apollo 11 Saturn V got approved! I completely missed that because I closed the video at the Beatles announcement.
The Saturn V should be the biggest, most expensive Ideas set yet, right? Hopefully it sells well and launches a new Space line.
I predict the Fossil Museum and Johnny 5 will be the next to be approved.

This is in Australia so it may not be as relevant overseas but from what my retailer friend tells me, the previous 2 series before Disney were overproduced and overstocked. Looks like they may have gone too far in pulling back production in response

Just saw there's an augmented reality app from Lego for the Porsche set. Really coo to see set + software integration.

Eclipse looks good. I just got my S&H order with it and will probably build it first. Will post impressions later.
Toilet is disgusting. Love it. Paper towel dispenser is probably my favorite part of this.

Not feeling this at all - I know it is intended for kids, but my son (who is also a big Star Wars fan) also thought this was stupid.

Finally find some Disney figs in the wild! Seems like Dreamland (the biggest toy shop in the area does carry them (they didn't do the other minifig series). I was passing by on my way to another store and thought: can't hurt to check.
Box was half-full. Is it me, or are these hard to feel? Couldn't recognize any of them, though you should think they are pretty easy to feel out. Decided to blind grab 10. Got 7 new ones and 3 doubles. Quite a good catch. Still looking for 8 more. I'm going to frequent 2nd hand sites to see if people want to trade (some do allready, but none are searching for my doubles or have what I'm looking for)

I was a bit too harsh on this subtheme when it was revealed at Toy Fair, but I still think it is a definite step down from the Arctic subtheme.

I really liked the Eclipse build. It has some interesting techniques and I was never bored.
The front facade goes on a bit awkwardly because it connects to a 2x4 SNOT piece that doesn't have anything behind it on the bottom half, so it's hard to press it together snugly. In the end when it's in non-attack mode the two sides didn't match up perfectly although it's good enough when viewed from the front.
I will probably buy more copies of this set if I see it on sale just to build again and then use the parts. Has a lot of useful pieces and great ppp ratio.
I'm going to reuse the round print pieces already because they are really nice and completely wasted in this set, although I assume it has some importance to the show.
Oh ya, the cape is a softer fabric than the usual cape. You can actually keep it on when the fig is sitting in the ship.
I think Jang's review alluded to a spoiler in the Eclipse ship and now I get it.
I assume that's why the really cool round print is hidden in the non-attack mode of the ship.

I finished the main build of Vacation Getaways today.
Real talk.....
Vacation Getaways might be THE set of the year. In a year where I have already built the GB Firehouse and the Brick Bank among others.. Dollar for dollar, this may be the best set I've built.
Everyone knows how good it looks, but it's incredible how good the micro-builds are and how many awesome building techniques are implemented in the build. A true gem, and will likely be one of those sets we talk about in a few years. The sleeper mechanism, grill/table, and the beds inthe yacht are some of the small highlights of this WONDERFUL set.
I can't stress this enough, if you're even thinking about it: GET IT.

Vacation Getaways is the first set where I am considering buying three of them, so I can keep all the builds at once.
I expect to see this set on some of our Top Sets of 2016 lists.

Brickset has updated designer list of sets they made.

Seems we have this designer to thank for Giant Ant-Man (Giant-Man) and the web warriors bridge.

Dude is knocking it out of the park.
He is a designer to watch for sure.
Everyone should check out the Brickset designer lists, as the notes that some designers add (such as Mark Stafford) can be fascinating behind-the-scenes info.

My work in progress theater MOC. Theater needs bathrooms, eh? That's the men's side. Finishing off the women's room now.
Hey, now!
This is the British guy who was profiled on one of Channel 4 UK's 'Inside LEGO' documentaries. Show followed him through the interview process. How great to see that he's made an impact so quick.
The only thing I really liked about that Giant Man set was Giant Man, everything else was pretty worthless to me in that set. As much love as that set gets, and it does deserve it for that really fresh and innovative Giant Man build, I feel that Bridge Battle is going to be a truly great set and something for that designer to be proud of.
I've been slowly working on breaking down my sets into ziploc bags today and boxing them up for storage. I'm finalizing my display shelves for revamping and more of a final display theme per shelf. It's putting into perspective what I should and shouldn't buy coming up and from now on what I should try and bricklink for figs. It's going to hurt me but those upcoming Batman sets in particular are screaming to be bricklinked. I'm bagging up that Joker Steamroller set and that was a top set for me (despite the horrid Batwing build). I'm bagging up most of my Jokerland but i'm leaving that out of storage for now because I may find a way to integrate that into my carnival display better. If i'm not going for Tower Bridge or Big Ben then that means the display place I had earmarked for those can now go to a carnival display for my Ferris Wheel, Mixer and whatever the new set is.
I have 4 shelves all together, all equal length. This is a couple rought sketches of what I have in mind. Go ahead and get the laughing out of the way for my horrible drawing.
I was originally going to have my Batcave set up in a different place but its going to be too small for what I have planned now for turning that upcoming Ninjago set into a Bat-puter area and launching platform for the Batwing. I'm now going to use that area for my Helms Deep and LoTR display instead. My Modular shelf is going to be a tight fit and unfortunately I have no idea what i'm going to do next year with the new set.
Speaking of bathrooms, checkout this really amazing doll house. The scale just works so well from the doors to the wired lights to that amazing bathroom and kitchen.

That is fantastic work. Thank you for sharing. It is almost Technic figure scale too.
I am putting a few more things in on the theater MOC now. Will post some more bathroom pics soon. Let's just say that it looks like a minifig pulling toilet paper off the roll right now.

Yes, thanks for posting this, Fish.
Those decades-old plates with square anti-stud bottoms as walls is genius. My dad has some old pieces at my grandmothers' house, and there's plenty of these. May have to try that.

Men's room, complete with crumpled up paper towels on the floor near the trash can.
Someone didn't flush, and they also ran out of toilet paper.
Women's room. Yes, I am aware there is a gap between the stall doors and the dividers and people could see in. Just like a public restroom.
One stall was made to make it look like a mini fig was pulling toilet paper. I obviously won't have someone so happy about cleaning their backside when I actually finish the MOC.
And what might be the first ever LEGO tampon dispenser. Google searching showed no results. I was striving for realism in the restrooms, and was hemming and hawing about adding one. But once my wife saw the restrooms she commented that I needed to add one, so she confirmed my thinking.
That will be about all I am going to show off of the theater MOC until I get done with it. But let's say that both auditoriums' seating is complete. I just need to make the walls for the first half of it.
This thing is going to be very large.

Most realistic toilet I've ever seen. Lots of not nice details which is good.

$120 MSRP for that is fucking ridiculous. I'm sorry, I understand the whole price per piece thing and all but come on. It's ludicrous.
It's a better deal than last year's Spaceport (824 pcs vs 586pcs for $120), but I agree. CITY theme pricing, especially in the larger sets, has gotten ridiculous over the last several years.

It looks like a $60 set.
Agreed, but I'm not a fan of any of the volcano sets so...
