Reposting since I'm still looking to sell it~ If this is too soon to repost let me know.
I'm selling my UCS Imperial Shuttle, pictures available in this album. Because I like flat prices I'll say for now that it'll be $425 total including shipping within the US, though international shipping I'd have to probably add on for once I calculate the exact weight and cost. Send a PM if interested.
Some things to note is that the cockpit stickers are peeling rather baddy, I hadn't known about that until now. The information plaque sticker is mostly fine, with light peeling at the edges and an air bubble in the center. Still, may be worth looking into replica replacement stickers for the cockpit or gluing them back down. Also, the binding edge of the first two manuals are a bit bent, but the pages should be fine and aren't falling out or anything. Other than those issues it includes all five original minifigs, both the stand and the landing gear, the keys to adjust the wings, etc. All but the original box and spare pieces. I'll even throw in a brick separator from my drawer of them!

UCS Imperial Shuttle is so damn good. But ugh, disassembling it is a beast. Particularly the wings and how they attach.

Yep, been putting it off for that and also because I am somewhat reluctant to sell it. Figure I'll have to use a long axle to poke out axles and pins from the wings.
Hmm, so after watching Spider-man Homecoming I kind of want that set... but I'm also hoping to find it for at least a bit cheaper. It looks nice, but it just feels like it's one step above what I want to pay for it, price-wise.
Also this led to me watching reviews on the latest wave of Lego Batman Movie sets, and... hmm. Much as I really liked the prior stuff (got the Scuttler, then the Joker, Penguin, and Riddler cars, and very satisfied with them, and still want to grab Clayface at some point)... I'm not sure I'm going to jump on any of that stuff despite initially being interested at reveal. Like, the Two-face vehicle just looks eh to me and I just want the minifigure, so I'll Bricklink that I guess, and the Batwing just seems kind of... bulky, looking at it, and I'm not sold at all. The Bane truck is... kind of a maybe? I dunno, big Bane is tempting me, though it'd be a lot more tempting if that MSRP was like $10 lower (guess that's what a big fig does to costs, though).
The big one, though... I don't think I really actually love the Ultimate Batmobile. It looked cool at first glance, but something about the parts and the locking mechanisms looks kind of subpar in the end, looking at it closer. Plus it probably doesn't help that I feel like I haven't heard any hype for it after the initial reveal, like at all. I dunno, have people been liking this one after all, or not really? Kind of thinking I just want to Bricklink Polka-dot Man (btw, should I expect prices to go down there at all on this guy over time? Because... he's a tad expensive) and maybe Bat-Alfred (and for him... I can't even find him on Bricklink. Am I missing something, there?)
So... yeah. Not hitting me as amazingly as the earlier sets were, sad to say.

Oh, it is so much worse than that. Just you wait and see. The first trick is removing the wings from the main body, then the real fun begins.

Oh, you can. But the UCS Imperial Shuttle wings are a different beast. Sturdy as hell.
You can. Like saying you can eat the last After Eight Mint.
It's possible, but shouldn't be done.

Wait until you need to clean your old sets. Disassemble, wash, reassemble.
The spider Man sets were 20% off this week at Target so i picked up the vulture attack. I might just get the ATM set too since it's only 15$.
I'll say of the recent ones my rankings are -
Assembly Square
Parisian Restaurant
Detective's Office
Brick Bank
Palace Cinema
I haven't looked at the other discontinued ones because it'll just be really difficult to get where I live.
I just purchased the Palace Cinema this month. Gonna try and get the Parisian Restaurant next month, and then Assembly Square sometime before the end of the year if there's a decent sale. Detective's Office and Brick Bank will have to wait a bit but the bulk of the cost (Assembly Square) will have been had.
Of course if you were to get just the one - Assembly Square would be the one, but I think its pretty damn hard to just get one... the force is too strong to collect the other ones.
Force Friday, which this year is September 1st, is when the first wave of products for The Last Jedi become available. If it follows from the last Force Friday in 2015 for The Force Awakens, stores will open at midnight with various promos.

Still deciding between palace cinema and old fishing store, Im not a huge fan of palace cinema but I want it since its retiring soon. Im never going to get all of them anyways though so might as well get what I really want instead. Old fishing store looks dope.

Amazon has got bootleg Star Wars figures as a prime day "deal". Yeesh.

Assembly Square (best lego set i ever brought hands down!)
Parisian Restaurant (the set that made me fall in love with modulars)
Detective´s Office (so many details inside!)
Pet Shop
Palace Cinema (love the outside but it shows its one of the first modulars , the inside is a bit empty
missing brick bank...hopefully my wife got it for my brithday later in the month...

That, and then putting it back together again in new and exciting ways, is *the whole point* of Lego for me, which is why I love the competition threads so much. When I subbed to this thread, I didn't realise how much it would be about buying and building sets and then just putting them on the shelf

You can do that too, of course, but the 100+$ sets are kind of made to be displayed. I think most of us buy tons of smaller sets to mess around with, and Bricklink orders for parts on top of that.
Yup that's where I am. The Modulars sit in a city like setup along with the occasional City vehicle. Everything else get's taken apart and reassembled for MOCs all the time (on top of a ridiculous amount of Bricklink orders...).
It'd be good to see some homemade stuff then, in between the collectors
(I can talk, of course, having nowhere near the space/time to get my lego out much these days!)
I'll try and remember to get a shot of my latest modular building MOC when I get home, nothing too impressive but trying to follow the design sensibilities of an official one is a lot of fun!
It happense regularly, but it takes time (months or years :/ ), so that's not daily...It'd be good to see some homemade stuff then, in between the collectors
And well... when you see a retail product, it's sometimes Wetwired's job so that counts

I am a new Lego fan, less than a year in this madness. I am starting this month to build my city and trying a few MOCs. It will be nice to see what kind of cities you have cooked, guys. Show off time!
Next time will probably be around october, I'd say. Unless they're doing a surprise 2x VIP again (or better, a 3x VIP !)
Oh god no, I don't think my bank account can take that much abuse; especially with both the Old Fishing Store and Ninjago City just around the corner!
I was curious which figures come with what set, so I've combined this with the leaked character page, and the leaked images of the boxes for some sets. I've chucked a spoiler on them just in case.
75176 Resistance Transport Pod (294 pcs; $29.99)
Unable to see which characters, but there are at least 3 characters with this set, one of which is included with the BB-8 set, so I assuming its BB-8 himself?
General Hux, First Order Flame Trooper, First Order Ground Crew, Resistance Trooper (seems to be female)
Kylo Ren without helmet, evil BB-8, First Order Pilot, Stormtrooper
There is a figure included with this but we cannot see the picture - presumably its a BB-8 minifigure
Poe Dameron in not-quite-but-almost pilot outfit (orange suit but missing helmet and bits and pieces), Resistance Gunner Paige, Resistance Bomber Pilot, Resistance Bombardier (all in full flight outfits), Vice Admiral Holdo
Rey, "Captain" Poe Dameron, Resistance Trooper, FO Walker Driver, Stormtrooper
Supreme Leader Snoke, evil BB-8, Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper Sargent, FO Officer, FO Shuttle Pilot
There's a couple of glaring omissions there.
We've also seen
Rose in minifigure form
Rose and Finn may be in the first set
Any other info leaked I've missed?

So I'm guessing my targets for the modular's are Parisian Restaurant, Brickbank, Detective's office and Assembly Square. Although I guess I have the cash to go on a massive spending spree it just seems wholly unnecessary at this point, so if Palace Cinema goes OOP I'll just have to live with it. I will round out my city with some of the smaller creator sets. Vacation Getaway which is the set that re-ignited my interest is done, and Deli Corner is in the mail. I'm gonna stop by my parents place this weekend and see what I've got at home and then I'll take it from there. Thanks for all your input guys, I'll be sure to keep on participating in the thread and update on my progress.
One of us, one of us.
Actually when you pose it like that.... I'm going to buy it anyway, so that would be handy, although I'd wager the smarter business move on Lego's part would be not to introduce the two at the same time!

Ugh I need to pick out parts for my Halloween creations to bricklink. I don't have enough clear or black pieces even if I disassemble things...

I think Star Wars 8 is going to have a LOT more sets that I'll want to buy compared to Force Awakens (I'm not the biggest X-Wing fan) or even Rogue One (which had a decent few I liked).
BB-8 I'll probably get day one, Star Destroyers I'm always big fan of, I like Tie Fighters (the leak looks pretty solid), and two different Walkers. If the Resistance Bomber is on-par with a Tie Bomber then I'll definitely want one, but so far I'm not the biggest fan of new resistance ships so far.

You are correct with this info, including your assumptions - well done!
So no Luke, Leia, etc until the Winter wave. Unless there is a promo we don't currently know about.

For normal sets maybe, but not my UCS stuff or Modulars if I ever got in to them.
Those for me are almost like an AirFix model in that once its done its done.
but then, I've only been back 2 months. Give me time lol.
Triple VIP would destroy me it it happened after the new MF.

Most of my stuff is tagged on my blog, although it's in Swedish:

So i suffer from motion sickness. (Bigger boats, small planes, reading in a car)
When i look down doing lego it can give me a tinge of it. Nothing severe. Just some nausia that is uncomfortable.
Im wondering if better lighting would help.
(Working on the lighthoise currently with the kiddo, the killer whale was kind of cool to build)

If you get motion issues just looking down, you should see a doctor. It's probably an inner ear thing. It can be associated with vision issues if perhaps you have glasses that need a new script, but it's more likely to be inner ear.
Thanks. I was not wearing my glasses. I will try wearing them next time, but my prescription is not very strong.
Ill google some stuff about inner ear. My motion sickness has been always awful, and nobody ever mentioned that it was something i could see a doc about it

Not bad. Not great either. But not bad.
Much more to come!
What is all this...garbage? These set designs look awful. Is it just me? This saddens me for the next Star Wars film.
