Thinking about double VIP. Might go in on the Batcave if they have a damaged one for extra points. Otherwise just the Tie Fighter for me.
And whatever my kids talk me into.

Just a reminder that March 12 and 13th my Tower of Orthanc MOC will be on display at Brickworld Indianapolis at the fairgrounds.
March 7 - 22. I'm really considering dropping the big bucks on an Ewok Village then,but I've never spent so much money on a single set, the thought of it is both scary and thrilling.
lol Ghostmind, what a dick move there
anyway, i am glad i have NO desire for Sandcrawler anymore (well maybe 1% or so but that would never be enough) i still remember the last UCS set i got where i wasn't sure for a while but then got it regardless, the B-Wing! It's STILL sealed plus i have no room to display it now and don't really feel the urge either, so in the end i may just sell it off!
Too bad the aftermarket price for that one really didn't spike at ALL it seems so in the end i will have lost some money on that even![]()

Damn that Quinjet is even SMALLER than i thought it was going to be
Well actually it's kinda adorable that way hmm may have to grab that set after all...
Oh and if those are actually yours Ghostmind, you DO like to keep your Lego's all shiny and polished eh?My Quinjet 1.0 must have accumulated a crap ton of dust over the years by now

Hmmmm. Let me think about making it there. I am actually off that weekend, and it is only a 4 hour drive.
Whats the swoosh test?Do they pass the swoosh test? I say they most likely would.
Whats the swoosh test?
"Swooshable
A quality that allows a LEGO creation to be picked up and flown around a room as the builder makes flying noises.".
It applies to any flying vehicle, not just LEGO made ones. Strangely, when I search for "swooshable" first page is almost all LEGO related. Swoosh is the sound one makes when flying the vehicle around.

The test is basically if you would enjoy swooshing the ship around the room.
Would be nice to see you there.
I have only built the first Quinjet, but the other 2 look sleeker. The latest one may be smaller, but it doesn't lack in looks IMO. It may not be as great of a build, but I like them all.

Parisian Restaurant is really nice.I plan on grabbing a modular soon and right now it's between the Pet Shop or Parisian Restaurant. My heart says restaurant because it looks amazing but I feel like I should do pet shop because it's older and could retire soon. The pet shop just seems so bland to me, especially after the JANG review. What are some opinions between them?

So GAF, I've been considering trying to make some of my LDD builds with real bricks, and with the imminent return of Robot Wars, I thought the House Robots would be a good place to start, but the only one that seems possible would be Dead Metal, which I have two different designs for. This is what he's meant to look like:

Which one looks better, the second attempt (Left) or the first (Right):
Left looks cooler. Specifically the angles on the body with the alternating slope pieces and the angles on the side. The pincher angles are better too. The first attempt is boxy.So GAF, I've been considering trying to make some of my LDD builds with real bricks, and with the imminent return of Robot Wars, I thought the House Robots would be a good place to start, but the only one that seems possible would be Dead Metal, which I have two different designs for.

If you start buying modulars now, I guess you don't want to collect all of them, so is this really an issue if you miss Pet Shop?
My girlfriend and I are at least trying to get what's available now. She just got the detectives office so I doubt she'll get another so soon. How long are they generally available for?
There's really no rule, unfortunately (or Pet Shop wouldn't be available anymore... Town Hall has been released after Pet Shop and retired last year T_T )My girlfriend and I are at least trying to get what's available now.

They've even be rumors that two modulars would be retired this year, but not Pet Shop (so Palace Cinema and Parisian Restaurant, or Palace Cinema and Detective Office ?) Probably not true, but you can never be sure...
If you want to grab those available now, I'd buy Pet Shop but also Palace Cinema quickly, and I wouldn't stay away from Parisian Restaurant and Detective Office for too long...
Last year, a person at Lego customer service told me that Pet Shop will retired second half 2016 and Palace Cinema soon afterwards.
Hi my name is POPO. I live in japan. My hobby is make military models(original) at LEGO. I love LEGO!!
I can only read and write a simple English.
STUD SYSTEMS is fictitious weapons development company.
Brickseek.com, both of those have been ok discounts at local Walmart stores if you're in the US.Okay, so I know very little of the Lego scene, but after a deep love of the stuff in my childhood, I've actually gotten a few Star Wars sets recently via gifts (mostly). Currently have Kylo Ren's Shuttle, the new Tie Fighter, Rey's bike thing, and Poe's X-wing (which I just bought for myself). Which makes a pretty nice little set of Star Wars Lego models, I think, but I was thinking of maybe grabbing the Millennium Falcon too (and maaaaaaaaybe the First Order transport ship thing, though I'm iffy on how much I want that one), and my big question is... any chance I'd be able to manage to get that under MSRP? Not sure on if there's any particularly good sites to use, or if it's something I can expect to go on sale, or what, but yeah, I figured I'd ask if there was any hope of taking even a small bite out of that meaty price tag.

Would be strange if the Parisian Cafe was retired this year. It's the best modern modular they've released by a mile.
Dicscovered this interesting LEGO fact.
LEGO hot dogs were produced in flesh color. Ideal for putting on Batman's head.
