Well the LEGO rep in the chat just confirmed that Ninjago City can be connected to the other modulars.
... and it's back.
And now the designers drop "so have you seen the giant Millennium Falcon?" casually into their discussion. Of course no follow up LOL.
I expected this, but I still think it'll look ackward.Well the LEGO rep in the chat just confirmed that Ninjago City can be connected to the other modulars.
So, just out of curiosity, do people on here have much experience transitioning little ones into Lego? Because lately, my 3 year old nephew has become OBSESSED with my Lego collection. Which somewhat awkwardly means... he really, really loves the modulars, especially the Fire Brigade, even despite being limited on touching them. (I swear, I feel like I'm treading a weird line of trying not to be Will Ferrell in the Lego Movie. But it's a necessary evil, as he's still at the age where he plays wild and rough and doesn't understand needing to be careful not to break things, so if he was let loose I'd have modulars in a billion parts on the floor in a minute... and then he'd be begging me to fix them. So yeah, for now he just messes with the minifigures and the moveable parts on the outside. And at least for now, he fortunately at least doesn't know the floors come apart, and he must never learn of that... at least until he's a bit older.)
Got him some Duplo for Christmas which he enjoys, but man, he REALLY wants the "real" stuff. And so... despite perhaps not being the best plan, went a bit over his age range, so now he has a Mater and McQueen from Cars 3 in the Junior range. (The plan is to keep an eye on him with those, thanks to the small parts). And man, seems to have worked like a charm, as he is going nuts and is super enjoying them. Now I just need him to get accustomed enough that I can somehow justify getting him the Lego City Fire Station, as that seems absolutely perfect for him, but he's just a bit of a little guy for such a thing right now...
So yeah, just curious on what other people have done with that. Think there's a game plan, but yeah... Interesting being on the other side of getting Lego for a youngster, haha.
Also, just let me say: Man, I wish Lego could at least take the same approach that they do with these Junior sets for the Expert stuff, if nothing else. So nice to have all prints with no stickers, despite there being a TON of parts that'd definitely be stickers elsewhere. (Totally glad they at least do indeed do that for these things though. Makes a lot of sense and I can see it being a godsend that these parts aren't stickers that'll peel off with use, as these are assuredly going to get a LOT of use.)

Did you think about gluing his sets together? I know most people would hate to do that to their sets, but obviously little people are a special case. It'd definitely help with him being able to (a) play with the Cars more and (b) be less likely to break them.
As an aside, my friend's daughter started doing the Friends LEGO around 4-5, so I wouldn't worry TOO much about the complexity of stuff. If anything, it gives you a reason to chill with him and do them together.

We have Ninjago Movie sets in at work, but can't sell them until the 1st. I stared at the Destinys Bounty box for a bit and tried not to drool.
Soon...
Here's my Comic-Con haul. It was quick getting the Brick Headz but the exclusive minifigures each took 4-5 hours waiting in line. The Ninjago dragon was a free item they gave away at the LEGO Ninjago Movie panel.

I only have room for 2 $100+ sets for the rest of the year and honestly im gonna pass up old fishing store for destinys bounty. It just looks incredible.
Could you post the Supergirl instructions later? My sister really wanted one but no way she's getting one off ebay.Here's my Comic-Con haul.

And I am on the other side of the country.The LEGO booth at SDCC is selling all the LEGO Ninjago Movie sets now.
Think it's a Psiaki set. That is what tempts me.I'm wanting killer crocs tail gator and $45 is a great deal but the rear suspension with those exposed technic beams is kinda ugly. I guess I could just mod it to look better. Hmm.
The SDCC trailer for Ninjago movie is here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhvDNySIBtc
It kind of explains the role of the ultimate weapon and it also seems Garmadon might not the final bad guy Plus the link to the real world... hmm one could consider it even spoiler-ish
Finally got around to building the Turbo Track Racer 31070.
Fantastic set with tons of detail and features. It's like 80% of one of the expert creator cars, but at 60% the cost.
Doesn't have super crazy techniques for out-of-this-world angles, but it's a solid, solid set.
So does the fire extinguisher mean it's from the same designer as the adventure plane and black panther jet?
Haha awesomeTurbo Track Racer!!!
And I don't think it is Marcos Bessa like those other sets. I asked him about that on Twitter and he responded with this:
"Haha! I'm not the only designer using fire extinguishers! Safety first!! "

Anyone here actually gotten the London Bus? I am still hemming and hawing.
And saving my money for Destiny's Bounty and Ninjago City.
That's one of the sets on clearance at Walmart here; they're selling it for $59 right now.Mulling over purchasing this now it's £49.99 on Amazon UK (Google says this is $65 or 65€.
I know the theme didn't set a lot of people on fire (hoho?) but since it includes a volcano it seems kind of complete and self-contained and all you need from this subtheme. But then I know I'll want to buy Ninjago movie stuff soon. Ho hum. Do you guys have any thoughts?
It's one of the sets I considered, but in the end the other sets I bought looked more interesting to me so I passed. The CITY sets are overpriced for what you get, so the clearance knocks it down to a more reasonable amount and makes it tempting.Spike Spiegel said:It's not just the Rathtar Escape set. Guys...hey all, i was at walmart today and noticed they marked down the rathtar escape set to $54. checking the app it seems like a handful of stores here (michigan) have the same price. might be worth checking out your area.
Check your local Wal-Mart.
