Buy Jango Fett and leave it out in the rain to rust.

Yup, that Knightcrawler just looks like a less interesting Scuttler, and it's the only one that looks like even a half-good set.
Yea i know they won't come with figs and traditionally the vehicles aren't to scale to figs but this bus may be different. Like the Blue Power Jet could almost fit a fig to scale. With that piece count I just don't think its going to be in scale with the recent cars they have done so minifigs might actually look in scale riding in it or at least not bad so that might be pretty cool. Have a bus full of Batman villains riding around.
Those vehicle designs are so awful, the worst i've seen yet. Until the movie comes out though I don't who to blame for that though. They always do the same damn thing for every Aquaman set with the little pillars build too, thats really annoying and lazy as hell at this point.

There's a super jumper in the right picture of the Aquaman set. I thought those were finished?
Apparently not, as JANG showed one (and the damage it did after limited careful use) in the Thor Ragnarok arena set.
Surprised that LEGO has kept it around.
They probably have millions in a closet they need to get rid of still. They should just bury them like E.T. cartridges.

It's much too big for minifigs, they will all look like kids on it. It's also too small for Technic/Belville figures, which means that it's smaller scale than the VWs.
Hi, everyone! I'm hoping you can give me a suggestion. I'm looking at three sets, and I can only get one right now. I'd like to eventually get all three, so please factor what might be off shelves first into your decision. Also, if I miss out on one, factor in the one that would be okay to miss, as well. Finally, I'd like a set that's has good pieces when you break it down and build MOCs with it. I'm so demanding! I'm interested in:
LEGO City Prison Island
LEGO Super Heroes Spider-Man Web Warrior Ultimate Bridge
LEGO Super Heroes Super Hero Airport Battle
Thanks for any suggestions!

Double VIP this weekend? Yay!!! Time to pick up the Satur...oh, sold out. =(
Could be back in for start of the month. Really hope so!

Bridge has tons of useful parts. Airport is highly specialized and most go into the quinjet, which is mostly dark blue. Don't know exactly what the prison has, but most parts should appear in any police HQ set.
It was back yesterday when the store relaunched iirc. Out of stock again I see. Crazy.

The better pictures and the video made this grow on me. Looks pretty good (apart from the very blocky front wheel arches, they look so off compared to recent Expert models). Not sure if I'll day one this (I'm on holiday anyway when early VIP hits), as NInjago City is coming up too. But eventually...

I'm not too excited, but there should be plenty of time to decide. The Creator Expert vehicles seem to stay around forever.
Store page is up. 129 in Belgium. Great price actually.
The top front windows are so clumsy. The misaligned angles, the mismatched curves. The front wheel arch isn't great, and I don't know what the protruding panels below the windows are supposed to be. The rear end is nicely done. Really not up to the standard of the other expert vehicles

The should look like the seams on the original. And more important (as the current theory goes) they hide the fact that the window panels are too high
The front wheel arch comes down to the combination of scale and allowed building techniques. Looking forward to possible mods..

Absolutely this. The bridge is my favorite licensed set in years.
Canadians would do well to check their local Mastermind for it-several have it on sale for $89.

Just noticed the other 'stops' on the bus are:
Yellow Brick Road
Brickadily Circus
Twobytwo Square
I'm trying to decide if Brick Lane would have been better as a London based joke, but then that'd just be the road. Or Yellow Brick Lane but then you're two puns deep.

Love how our awful UK summer weather is making Lego's Twitter hype for the London Bus look terrible.

Im choosing between the VW camper and this and I might actually choose this. Looks better in those photos than before and the roof removing mechanic is pretty cool. Also way more pieces for your money.
I've had the Wonder Woman battle set and 5 packs of minifigs (to get to free shipping) in my basket for weeks now, but I think I'll pass and save up for OFS and Ninjago City.
Was actually planning on getting the carrousel at double VIP, but I've decided to pass on it as display space is running out. Other possibility was the UCS Snowspeeder, but I'll wait untill I can get a deal on that one, just like I did with the UCS Tie. Maybe triple VIP, like whe had last year. Otherwise UCS sets pop up in brick and mortar stores around here from time to time, with eventual price drops or actions...
If the bus would've launched tomorrow, I would've jumped on it for double VIP. Now I'll wait on a deal too, as these sets are having a long run anyway and also pop up in regular stores at sometimes lower prices.

I really think that Lego are competing with themselves at this point. They are putting out more must-haves than even grown up, dedicated fans can keep up with. Normally, the fishing store would be a day one purchase just for the sheer coolness of it, but having just spent 350 on the Carousel and Saturn and with another 350 coming up with the Ninjago City, and at least 150 worth of normal sets that would be cool to have... something's got to give.

Yep. I want all of the silent Mary, Saturn, ninjago city, destiny's bounty, old fishing store, and a bunch of older stuff that I ignored when broke. And also to slowly catch up on modulars.
I've already resigned myself to ignoring the fairground rides even tho I'd have loved the mixer, Ferris wheel, and carousel.

I like that Lego is really serious on the adult expert market, there is something for everyone. Of course very few could get them all due to money and space, but I like the idea to have a wider selection. My only complain is that the reveals and announcements are spaced through the year. If you don't know beforehand what is coming it is difficult to plan your purchases. I am glad I skipped the Carousel and the Apollo sets (I eventually will get the Carousel, but not this year), so I can get OFS and Ninjago City, but I feel my Silent Mary purchase was rushed, I could have waited for a better deal.

It's the only Creator car I have but it's so good. I really want the Beetle to go with it.

Well, that's it. I don't need it.
No before and no now.
Yeah that price is killing enthusiasm for that bus. I really need to pick up that recent City Bus too. I'm having to cut big time, I don't even see how I can get anything this weekend. I have a couple other pick ups like FFXII and the Lodoss War bluray set. If I want fishing shop I'm going to have to save for it now.
