Want to buy that Camper before I go to bed but it's not adding the snowglobe to my bag! I hope it happens soon after midnight because I'm sleepy right now.

It's up now.

There is nothing in the BF sales for me. Only the Tie Fighter is a set I want, but I can't spend 180 euros on it.

I did want that snowglobe though, and as my original plan of getting the batmobile and jokers lowrider fell trough with the different EU releasedate, I went for Santa's Workshop. Owning the train and toy shop it would be a shame to miss out on this one. It's on backorder , but I don't mind waiting untill somewhere next week.

 

[willp2003]

Ordered the VW camper for 20% off to get the snow globe. No modulars on offer for the UK. Right, back to bed!

 

[Ryuuroden]

Encounter ON jaku is 36% off on amazon and vacation getaways is 44% off and ghostrider set is 36% off

 

[peteykirch]

Picked up the Minecraft Crafting Box for 30$ at Target today.

Might take the plunge and get the Pet Shop if it's supposed to be 20% off.

I just rebuilt the OG Quinjet to see how it compares to the two subsequent ones. I'd forgotten what a beast it was. I think it'll stay assembled for a while.

Nabbed two of those 1500-piece LEGO sets at Walmart tonight. I took my chances and showed up three hours after the 6pm opening, so the crowd would thin out and I could avoid the madness, and sure enough they still had a couple dozen of the sets left.

There are a ton of great pieces in there - lots of good pink and purple. They also have some 1x1 decorated round tiles that have "half closed eyes". I hadn't seen those before.

Was disappointed that Target wasn't doing one of those deals. Got the Minecraft crafting box, but wouldn't have mind those Creative Towers.

[TheSecondSpitter]

Is the Doctor Strange set worth getting?

 

[Chiaroscuro]

... Decisions...

I have the Pet Shop right now at my card, with the snow globe.

But to buy it in US and then ship it here is kind of a trouble, I already have a package ready that is already too big.

I really wanted the cute snow globe but... I think this BF will be just the Yellow Submarine and the newest Dimensions wave.

Argh.

 

[Cindres]

I don't have any of the older motor stuff, is buying all those stuff for the Holiday Train the best/easiest way to get it moving?

I've done this recently so I can input. With the holiday train I bought
Train Motor
Battery box
IR Receiver
IR Controller

Of course as it's been said you can get it up and running with just the train motor and the battery box but you've got no control over the speed and it does move pretty bloody fast if you do that. I've found the tree car slows it down because it doesn't use the same metal axels the other carriages/trains do and so that causes some friction. Interestingly it can very easily be derailed without that carriage but can't get up to that speed with it.

 

[mclem]

More lego discounts in the UK that I've spotted, this time from Tesco Direct. Again, I don't really follow the brand lines that well, so I don't know if these are quite as good as they look.

75094: Imperial Shuttle Tyridium for £40
75093: Death Star Final Duel for £35
41062: Elsa's Practice Castle But I'm Sure The Next One Will Be *Real* Good for £17
42039: Technic 24 Hours Race Car for £50 (this one's the largest reported discount, at least - about half price?
42040: Technic Fire Plane for £22.50

 

[PalaceBrother]

Is the Doctor Strange set worth getting?

In my opinion it depends if you want the figures. The little diorama is cute (I haven't seen the movie so don't know if it's accurate) but it'll end up being a parts pack soon. The demon tentacle play feature is really clever but honestly it's the only stand out feature in my mind.

I do think that the set will go up in value quiet a bit though - it's been tough to find since day one.

For what it's worth that is a crazy price for the Pet Shop. The fact that it's $160 Canadian is really surprising.

Interestingly it can very easily be derailed without that carriage but can't get up to that speed with it.

I found that with 2010's Passenger Train you really couldn't run it at more than half speed without it becoming derailed. I am so excited to add the train to this year's Christmas village. The kids are going to love it and I know my youngest will be playing with it non stop.

Does anybody have an experience with Fun in the park - City People Pack?

The train is absolutely beautiful, there's no way I'm putting it away after xmas, though we've discussed modding it and theming it after something else.

That BF list for U.S. either wasn't right or they changed something. The Maze set still isn't discounted and a couple other ones that were on that list as well. I think i'm just going to forget about trying to get a 2nd snow globe and just plan on getting a couple Batman movie sets in a couple days. I think i'm going to skip the Batmobile for now and pick that up heavily discounted because i'm not a fan of the looks af it at all plus the minifigs in it are meh. Probably going to get the other three though.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Maaaaaaaan... with the LEGO Batman Movie sets right around the corner, I can't spend any more money on LEGO today. I can't.

I can't...

I just got a package and opened it up. I was greeted by this staring back at me.

PSA, you get a free Star Wars Lego Set when you are Cinestar Club Member and preorder Tickets for Rogue One.

I dont know yet which sets it will be, but I will let you know on Monday when I get my tickets

 

[peteykirch]

Walked into Barnes and Noble was shocked to see pretty much everything was 40% off.

Their Lego section was decimated but I grabbed the K-2S0. Not a bad deal for 15 bucks

 

[Rodney McKay]

Lots of sets going OOP now, some of which will return, but the ones I think are gone for good:

10218 Pet Shop
10234 Sydney Opera House
21020 Trevi Fountain

I'm glad I was able to get the Trevi Fountain for my girlfriend through Amazon, they were sold out on S@H recently. She loves the Sydney Opera House set too, but it's just too expensive and too huge. I hope they come out with a medium sized one someday (somewhere between this one and the Architecture one).

And I'm glad I decided to get the Pet Shop while I still had the chance. I was a big fan of the set ever since i built a mini-modular version of it in the LEGO Digital Designer years ago based on a picture I found online (that didn't include instructions or a parts list). It's a really fantastic set, and it has finally incentivized me to buy the pieces I need to make the Mini-modular version.

 

[Chezzymann]

I'll be honest I'm about to pass up vacation getaways for a klays rumble blade + lakeside lodge combo. I know it gets universally glowing reviews and the amount of detail on the thing is great but the overall look of the RV from the outside just isn't that interesting to me. Its kind of ugly honestly.

I think I'll get the VW Camper instead for Christmas or something. That seems like a more substantial build anyways.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

[Rootbeer]

Maaaaaaaan... with the LEGO Batman Movie sets right around the corner, I can't spend any more money on LEGO today. I can't.

I can't...

LEGO Batman Movie sets go on sale 11/27... so if tradition holds true, you can order them from shop.lego.com on 11/26 at 9PM PST (estimate)

Plan accordingly if you want them sooner rather than later! As a big Superhero fan I think these are excellent sets both for minifigure collectors and for the Batman vehicle builds which look above average compared to a lot of recent Superhero sets from LEGO.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Lots of sets going OOP now, some of which will return, but the ones I think are gone for good:

10218 Pet Shop
21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1
21303 WALL-E
75902 The Mystery Machine

If you don't have these yet, get to it. You'll regret it in a year otherwise. Batman or whatever can wait another year.

At least Pet Shop will stay at a decent price longer, as I'm sure people have stockpiled it. But the others will skyrocket, especially WALL-E, once people realize that it's gone. It's both an awesome set and pretty damn good replica.

Ecto-1 is great but I think the Firehouse has diluted some of its uniqueness, and the failure of the movie has spoiled the momentum of the brand.

Mystery Machine is great, if only it had the entire cast rather than having to buy at least that and the biggest set (which I skipped on). At least I don't care that much about Scooby Doo to track them down, but the van was a great little build.

 

[Wanderer5]

Decided to get Lego Avengers for the 3DS while it is on sale for $8, for some open world fun on the go. Even through it can barely handle it at times, gotta give some props of them squeezing in Manhattan fully into the handheld version, and giving some side stuff for likes of Doctor Strange and Moon Knight. Don't think I would have really spend more than $10 for this, but I already have some fun when it comes to exploring Manhattan least.

Don't really care for the story levels at all and the voice overs that seem particular bleh on the 3DS. Also the DLC thing is weird, which it seems like eventually a update needed for the game added in a DLC store, which has since only included the Agent of Shield DLC.

I'm holding off on Vacations Getaway too because I agree, the finished look of the thing doesn't excite me. I also think Creator sets tend to be around a while and be on discount later. I do plan on getting it within the next year though.

What Wicked Witch character could they mean? I know the Oz version was in Dimensions, but it doesn't seem like something we'd see in the LEGO Batman Movie. Is there some DC Comics character that roughly fits that description?

Also, regarding the authenticity. Hasn't this guy posted leaked minifigures first before? He just posted some new ones today even.


More books! Here are two new build your own adventure books. They come with bricks and possibly minifigures (likely not exclusive.) I know a lot of us liked the recent Star Wars one with the Y-Wing so keep an eye on these.

While there could be a DC character, don't forget we saw a brief clip of the Batwing covered in Gremlins, so it's entirely possible it could also be the Oz Wicked Witch.

So, with Black Friday over, what did you get? Me, I ordered Unikitty and Benny for Dimensions when they were cheap for once. I also ordered the airport battle from S@H, although I didn't get the snowglobe as I made the order an hour early. Finally, at the local store I decided to only get three baseplates (for the price of two) as I couldn't justify getting any of the big stuff that I didn't really want.

I am still salty that they made Supergirl exclusive to the starter pack and only on PS4. That is just beyond annoying and make me just want to stop collecting Dimensions. My local GameStop have 100 of the Green Arrow and when I went the manager told me I was the only person that morning asking for the figure.

I ordered the PS4 starter pack (hopefully with supergirl or i will be returning/exchanging at store) from Gamestop online with the free green arrow fig. That's it legowise, deals weren't great and most of the stuff I wanted already had deals well before BF. Now just waiting for tonight midnight to order the real stuff.

I would love to have monocolor minifigs of all the LEGO colors, but ~$15 a piece for a full set is too much. I do understand why they cost a lot considering finding all the color parts especially in colors no longer in print (I can live without old lt gray and old dk gray). I wish LEGO would do some monocolor minifig sets or something.

This site sells monocolor minifigs (all are legit LEGO parts)

I got from LEGO store:

76051 Super Hero Airport Battle (MSRP price) - this is the last of older Super Hero sets I needed.
21304 Doctor Who TARDIS (20% off)

I didn't want to risk missing out on Airport battle. If I resell the free LEGO ornament thing, it should add up to about 20%+ off.

Wall-E is the one set I'm worried about missing out on. I should have ordered it from LEGO S@H when sale went online. I never see that set in the LEGO store.

The LEGO store I frequent was decimated. It was so busy they either couldn't keep the shelves stocked or they were running out of stock. I think it was the former. It is the smallest LEGO store in California, so they don't have a lot of shelf space.

Haha, oh boy exact same thing with me. Got her with my Geoffrey order from TRU and just opened the fun pack up today to try it. I swear I could hear the price is right fail music play when I put her on the toypad and it flashed red. Sent a form on the Lego site for a replacement toy tag right away. Hopefully they are aware of the problem and not just sending out toy tags from the same bad batch.

Some minidoll love. I definitely love minifigs a lot more than minidolls, but I don't dislike minidolls. I'd like to see more IPs that are done in minifigs done in minidolls.

Pretty cool minidoll mechs. And they don't appear to use any ball joints at all.

The LEGO Group celebrates opening of factory in China

I hope LEGO has Apple-like security on the China facilities. They already have issues with the Mexico factory. May not be big leak, but I've seen a Texas based eBay seller selling LEGO minifigs that can only come from a LEGO factory since the sets aren't even released.

Here's some pics of the newest Lego Dimensions figs, i'm sure some will probably be picking these up just for the figs.

Gotta go fast!

I haven't played the Sonic level pack yet but just a quick run around with Sonic in game and oh man he's my favorite new Dimensions character. He feels like Sonic from a Sonic game, he feels fast, his spin dash feels just so right and he even makes the Sonic boing noise when he jumps. It really is Sonic put right into a Lego game. I can't wait to play the level pack now.
