who is the yeti with the backpack in the background there?

He's a Gigoran named Moroff. Rogue One seems to have a lot of cool species. I hope Pao comes with an interesting set or I'll have to buy him separately like Bistan because I really don't care for the U-Wing.

 

[Ryuuroden]

Seems like some of the investors/re-sellers are realizing that they may not get as much as they expected this year for those WM BF Creative Boxes lol Don't think they have clued into the TrU packaged version of this set selling for C$60, and as much as I want to rub it in their faces, I'm not going to mention it to them and let nature take it's course. I hope this means that some people who missed them at cost can actually get them on CL or Kijiji at, or nominally just over, retail price.

You are supposed to part out the pieces and put them on your bricklink store. That is where the value in those sets is, not reselling at a mark up. I will have to look at the tru set to see if it has the right pieces to be worth doing that. The problem is your still down 20 dollars right off the bat.

 

[Rodney McKay]

Nooooo!

I went to finally purchase the Trevi Fountain for my Girlfriend for Christmas now that they have double VIP again, and it's sold out on LEGO.
Really wanted that and something else to get the Snowglobe too, so now I'll need to get $100 of stuff I wasn't planning on getting if I want it.

 

[Osahi]

I'm not sure outside US, I hear 27th of Nov. for first wave of Batman sets but has Lego ever released like only a few days before the 1st of the month? Also 27th is like last day of BF promotions, not sure any Snow Globes would be left. Again, the 27th just sounds like a really weird release day for the Batman movie sets. I'm just hoping they put them up on BF as a surprise, if not I will probably get Maze or something else on sale.

Well. We don't even have the snowglobe this weekend. Let's hope for next week. :/

 

[Rootbeer]

that thrawn set is an instabuy! A lot of them look really good though.

 

[biggersmaller]

Got this today after spending $150 at the Mall of America LEGO store for the kids' Christmas. Dude behind the counter said it's not being sold and is only available for a couple of weeks.

I love LEGO but am not a fanatic. I think it's pretty awesome, but should I even open it?

Thats the 2nd (well 3rd this year) free christmas set they do every year in Oct. and Nov. This one is normally only available on Brick Friday but VIP's which is free and they probably signed you up for can get it this weekend early. US by way, i'm not sure what they do in other countries.

I say you should always open and enjoy sets, especially with your kids and especially holiday sets. They do sell a nice price later, i've seen the Gingerbread house from last year going for about $50 but if you want a set like this for investment purpose just go back and buy something else for $99 or more and get a 2nd one free to keep unopened.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

So is there any whispers of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them sets? I really liked the film but I'm not sure about spending the money on the Dimensions stuff when I only want the Newt and Tina minifigures.

They would have been ready for the movie if they were doing any. You can hold out hope for the future movies maybe. If you really want the figs try bricklink in a couple weeks or wait for deep sales on Dimension sets. You could probably get that Fantastic Beasts fun pack for $5 or 6 on BF. The story pack will probably get down to $30, maybe $25 and might be worth it for the builds in it.

Just returned from movie session. I agree that the movie could create fantastic (no joke) sets. But Lego seems to have passed it. If the movie will be a big hit, maybe for the next one. However it seems that the movie is not target to kids, but to Harry Potter fans that got older.

 

[PalaceBrother]

Thats the one i ended up going with. I really wanted that Ahsoka fig and needed some of the Rebels figs. I also think its a TRU exclusive so those are harder for me to pick up. With that new Phantom set reveal i'm really happy now. I just wish there was a cheaper way to get Sabine with her helmet

Which Phantom set? Or is the Thrawn set the Phantom?

 

[Kyari]

Now that Lego Dimensions has Sonic, I need more Sonic friend minifigures in my life Make it happen, TLG.

 

[Ponn]

Which Phantom set? Or is the Thrawn set the Phantom?

Yea thats the new Phantom set with Thrawn, at least I thought it was. Looks like the Phantom from Rebels and comes with Chopper and Kanan.

Now that Lego Dimensions has Sonic, I need more Sonic friend minifigures in my life Make it happen, TLG.

Sonic would actually make a superb Lego theme. Lots of figs, lots and lots of potential builds with robots and Dr. Eggman vehicles. I can even imagine a huge set with those big slide parts to make a running level with gimmicks. I kinda get the feeling Dimensions is a place for them to offload ideas they aren't going to do anything else with though.

Sweet!

I bought one of my sons the Echo-1, a baseplate, a cup of bricks, and a classic box. He's getting to that age where making "bases" is how he lives to play. It really takes me back.

Good to know! I am for sure going to assemble it and put it out for Christmas.

 

[HamsterExAstris]

I kinda get the feeling Dimensions is a place for them to offload ideas they aren't going to do anything else with though.

Certainly that wasn't the case in year 1 - most of the franchises were ones that had separate sets released already (mostly as their own full lines, with Doctor Who and Back to the Future via Ideas). For those that weren't (Wizard of Oz, Midway Arcade, and Portal) I just don't see them being viable except maybe as Ideas sets.

Year 2 I can see where you're coming from. But asides from Fantastic Beasts I just don't see any of the licenses as being viable for sets outside of Ideas. I'd expect them to go for Adventure Time or Powerpuff Girls before Sonic; he's very much another "appeal to the child of the 80s" franchise like E.T., The A-Team, and Knight Rider.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I want the santa snow globe set, but honestly there are no sets I am wanting or needing right now. I finally bit on Sandcrawler when it was $60 off on Amazon, and can't bring myself to order the 60s Batcave.
I want baseplates, but not $100 worth of plates.

Also, trying to save up for the LEGO Batman sets coming in a week.

Ugh.

Anyone got 2 snow globes and wanna trade for something?

 

[WordAssassin]

I kinda get the feeling Dimensions is a place for them to offload ideas they aren't going to do anything else with though.

It's actually the opposite. I can't remember if I read it here or if they even came out and said it officially but I'm almost certain I've heard somewhere they use Dimensions to gauge customer interest in certain IP that they aren't ready to go 100% into a full wave with (or, of course, IP that would make for fun Lego games but wouldn't make sense in a set, like Mission:Impossible).

It's almost like a franchise can go into Ideas, and then from there it either gets approved for an ideas set, or it splits off and goes to Dimensions to see how popular it would actually be. Probably the stuff that would require new moulds to really work, like AT with Finn's hat, backpack, sword, Jake's head, Gizmo's head, etc VS something like Dr Who or Yellow Submarine which doesn't need anything new to look proper.

Cause remember, it's not just people who OWN Lego Dimensions that buy the Packs. So if a particular IP does really well that probably means people outside the Dimensions user base are buying them too, thus could make for a more lucrative wave/theme.

I really want at least one wave of real Adventure Time sets. They made a LOT of new moulds just for those 3 packs, there are so many characters and locations to use to make sets, it could totally replace Minecraft as the whimsical imagination creativity theme.

See Dr. Who, BttF and Adventure Time (if I remember correctly) are Ideas approved sets though already. Like Ghostbusters they also happen to fit pretty well into a video game setting. Portal had to have been one of the more popular Dimensions sets along with Wizard of OZ, yet nothing for them has been mentioned. We don't have numbers unfortunately but anecdotally they were among the ones sold out more consistently. Has anything yet to make the leap from Dimensions only to a proper Lego theme or set?

I don't think so, but remember that Dimensions only just turned 2 recently. So I wouldn't think that, if they are indeed using it as a barometer, they could have had enough time to look at the numbers, design a set or sets, and fit it somewhere in their release schedule. Or do you think they could get something produced that quickly? (I genuinely don't know I'm just assuming they'd need more time)

 

[PalaceBrother]

I approve of this.

I actually thought the Sandcrawler might pass you by. Looking forward to reading your thoughts on it.

I'll grab the new Christmas train set this week to get the snow globe. I'm actually waffling though...I haven't opened any of the holiday bonus sets in several years so all I'm really doing is building a collection of boxes. The collector in me wants them but I don't think I'll ever build them. The Christmas setup continues to get more and more cluttered...

We're re-doing our kitchen and tearing down a bunch of walls right now so I'm not sure what our Christmas LEGO setup will be this year (or if it'll even happen). If I can at least get the new train set up and motorized I'll be satisfied.

Portal had to have been one of the more popular Dimensions sets along with Wizard of OZ, yet nothing for them has been mentioned.

Was the Wizard of OZ pack actually popular? I've seen it heavily discounted many times so I just assumed it was a dud.

I will have to look at the tru set to see if it has the right pieces to be worth doing that. The problem is your still down 20 dollars right off the bat.

I'm there with you on that. When I first saw those boxes a couple of years ago I considered getting a bunch to part out. The TrU box should eventually keep the price lower in regards to re-selling the box as is, and especially right back to desperate parents looking on CL/Kijiji who missed being at walmart within an hour of opening when they first go on sale.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

I'm probably not going to order something from Lego on friday, but I noticed that the snowglobe has a new exclusive 8x8 dish, so I just ordered a bunch of those (and a few more things) from B&P. Transparent parts are always useful (and tend to get expensive later on).

Not sure of the extent of the promotion or how long it will last, but Amazon.com is having a BOGO 40% right now on selected sets. Both the Passenger and Cargo trains, which are already on sale, qualify. Works out to about US$110 for the cargo and $85 if you get 2 of the same set. Great way to get into trains!

Also, trying to save up for the LEGO Batman sets coming in a week.

I had a similar problem, but I had $30 of VIP credit saved up, and I had a few things I wanted, but getting to $100 for the snow globe was a bit hard.

I ended up finally buying the pieces for the mini-modular Pet Shop I've wanted to make for the last 4 years. They don't have all the pieces (I'll get those from bricklink), and it took HOURS to add all the pieces because of their crappy pick-a-brick site. I could probably nt change the amount of pieces without it booting me back to the homepage. If it hadn't taken so long I would have tried ordering the pieces for my mini-modular Town Hall design too.

Even after adding all those pieces it only added $17, so I still needed more stuff to add. Bought my girlfriend the Venice set as a Christmas present and would have gotten Trevi Fountain if LEGO hadn't sold out (I'll have to get it from Amazon before it's gone for good).

Ended up ordering the Thanksgiving dude, Santa, and Santa's Elves sets and the AT-ST to push it past $100.

Build that muthafucka, such a cool little set. I'm hoping to have a reason to spend over the limit when it comes into the UK store next week. With all the xmas stuff I've got lately I have 4 different little xmas trees now.

My girlfriend picked up the winter fireplace set for me today, such a cool little set.

Anyone ever seen something like this before?

 

[BentBricks]

Anyone ever seen something like this before?

Never paid attention, but LEGO has always looked at reducing packaging size to save space and money as well as being more environmentally friendly. It wouldn't surprise me if LEGO reduced the sizing of some packaging again at some point. Older packaging just gets mixed up with newer packing.

EDIT: Ooops, didn't notice the missing cape. Looks like a collectors box for mistake up that with Artic Batman.

Thanks for the list. It was very helpful in my endeavor to get the Ninjago minifigs I'm missing from the Skybound series. Checked Bricklink and at $6-$8 a pop for minifigs I want, it's much better for me to buy sets close to 40% off instead.

Speaking of discounts, it's obvious the market is getting saturated with inventory with so many good discounts appearing even before the xmas season started. Around 40% off to me is clearance pricing. I always expect 20% off sales a many sets, but starting to see 30% off more regularly. One can save a lot of $$$ if one is patient for sales. Just be careful not to miss out on any set though waiting too long.

EDIT: Another good place to check for sales is Brickset. http://brickset.com/buy
Make sure to click on view all link. Seeing the lists is where I get the idea there are a lot of older and not so old sets at 40+% off.

EDIT 2: Ooh, and you can filter by theme and year in Brickset sales lists. Too bad Target isn't on there.

 

[ghostmind]

Anyone ever seen something like this before?

Uh, well I hope they include his cape in the left box.

 

[DrForester]

Well, I got my holiday train and power functions.

How long do the batteries tend to last on the battery box and remote? Been years since I used power with LEGO.

Planning to put it around the base of the tree. Maybe I can dig out my old train set and try to make it's power functions work with this. I had one of the old sets with the metal tracks that got power from an outlet.

 

[Nitemare1]

OG Quin Jet?!

No the second one. Like a fool I missed the original Quinn jet. That one would be staying on display

 

[ghostmind]

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Wow, that's the ice castle they should have made in the first place. And new versions of Anna... and Elsa? And a snowman. I'll get it and try to combine them into an even bigger castle.

I'm hardly a completionist, but I might get the cheaper Moana set just for her and the piggy.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I like Moama boat, probably will get it. Frozen sets look great for a winter/Xmas theme!

 

[Ponn]

I don't think so, but remember that Dimensions only just turned 2 recently. So I wouldn't think that, if they are indeed using it as a barometer, they could have had enough time to look at the numbers, design a set or sets, and fit it somewhere in their release schedule. Or do you think they could get something produced that quickly? (I genuinely don't know I'm just assuming they'd need more time)

i think they could, we at the very least would have heard something by now. It would also be incredibly shitty of them to make a Portal set now when passing on the Ideas set, same could be said for some others. And they have already done some questionable things imho in regards to Ideas. Regardless of any of that if they were indeed using Dimensions as a barometer for making full fledged lines that would be a very horrible barometer to use given the flakiness of toys to life games.

I approve of this.
Was the Wizard of OZ pack actually popular? I've seen it heavily discounted many times so I just assumed it was a dud.

Everything Dimensions has been on sale multiple times, they don't really pick and choose they go by waves when discounting generally and pack size. We don't have numbers but i was going by how often I saw certain sets out of stock for periods of time. Portal, wicked witch, Dr. Who, Cybermen, Scooby Doo, I saw those sets oos quite often.

Oh man, I think I have to pick up that Moana set. I need a The Rock big fig in my life. And eventually it would be President The Rock big fig.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Actually, I hope there aren't any interesting sets on Friday. Because this is what I'll want to buy in the next couple of months... so far.

Moana's Ocean Voyage
Elsa's Magical Ice Palace
Exploration Robots
Aira's Air Ship and the Hunt for the Amulet
The Phantom
The Goblin King's Evil Dragon
Assembly Square
The Riddler Riddle Racer
The Scuttler

Oh, and the DC minidoll set with Poison Ivy.

 

[BentBricks]

Now that the LEGO Princess theme only states LEGO Disney, it may get confusing between minidoll and minfig sets.

 

[wetwired]

I've gone a bit crazy this weekend building 80s vehicles, I'll have to take pics of the other but to start with I found a design on reddit for a KITT from Knight Rider. Being me I had to modify the design a bit to make it a bit more accurate...

I also used a design for Ash from Evil Deads Dodge, which I didn't really modify much but it made a great basis for the Blues Brothers Bluesmobile which I built as well. And to top it off I built the A-team Van I was working on, again based on another design but changed to a point that there's few similarities. I'm waiting on a few parts to get some proper pics of the Bluesmobile and A-team Van but I'll try and get a pic of Ash's car tonight.

Has the rule of not selling exclusives at a discount over? I noticed a couple retailers discounting UCS Star Wars sets recently. Picked up the UCS Tie Fighter for a better price than double VIP.

 

[Rodney McKay]

So my recent order is a mix of PAB and a few regular sets.

I know PAB takes a while for them to get, but does that mean my entire order will ship later until they are done with all the pieces I ordered, or does LEGO usually ship the sets out seperately?

 

[DrForester]

Planning to put it around the base of the tree. Maybe I can dig out my old train set and try to make it's power functions work with this. I had one of the old sets with the metal tracks that got power from an outlet.

So, apparently, when I was just a wee lad, I was smart enough to make sure all my train stuff was in one spot. I found all my old tracks, I found the control box, and I found the power plug, as well as the power piece that powered the tracks.

I wasn't smart enough however to put the actual train motor part in the same box, and can only assume it's buried in one of my old LEGO boxes...


edit: Was totally smart enough to put it near the top.

IT STILL WORKS!

 

[Boogiepop]

So I was thinking of getting a friend a Star Wars advent calendar for Christmas, and... did I screw up by not thinking of this until now? It's not available from Lego, Target, or Walmart online. Never messed with these before, and honestly didn't expect that (would think they'd keep seasonal Christmas products in stock at least until December starts before the rush gobbles them all up). Should I just give up on this idea, or is there still hope for a restock?

You know what to do now...EPIC TRAIN MOC!

Or casually modify an existing train to use the 9V motor.

Yeah, I plan to use it on the holiday train under the tree. Now I don't have to worry about batteries.

And i can return all the power function stuff I bought. Out of curiosity, how long did the batteries last on the battery pack with a train? Figure the batteries in the remote would be pretty good since it's just IR.

Saw plenty at my local LEGO store yesterday. Call around, check Target or Walmart's in-store availability.
