Detective Office is superior in every way, but Palace Cinema is going to disappear first, so jump on that.

The Doctor Strange set is marked as retiring soon in Europe. While Strange might pop up again, we're probably not getting Tilda or Chiwetel anytime soon.

Combined with the free VW!
And there is nothing I want to order at the moment
Sets I'm somewhat eyeing like the Guardians of the Galaxy-stuff will go down in price eventually in regular shops, I'm not fond of the Brickheadz en even with 3x VIP the UCS Tie is very expensive...
Might pull the trigger eventually on the latter one, as I might get some good financial news later next week (new assignment coming trough...)

Pretty good savings on Death Star. But, uh, as a Swede I don't really feel like making big luxury purchases today

Stay strong there. Don't let those cunts get you or your lovely capital. As a Belgian I know what those kind of attacks can do to a society, but in the end everybody picks themselves up again.
In Lego news: talking about the UCS Tie here made me go googeling. Seems like a local toy shop has a 20% off Star Wars sets deal at the moment and has UCS Ties in stock, which means 185 euro's... TEMPTING!
24th of April
Thanks. Might try the Leicester Square shop next week if I'm up at a client office in Camden. Need to dig out my card.
Any guesses on the apollo launch? Do Lego have certain windows they aim for?

Since they've started teasing it at the beginning of this month, I'll guess (hope) it'll release early May, and if they wait until June... well, then happy birthday to me!
I guess the launch dates because it's a model of the Saturn V plus it fits perfectly with middle of the month releases of course I didn't check what day of the week those dates fall on
LEGO released a teaser image for 21137 The Mountain Cave. They have stated that this set will be the largest in the Minecraft theme.
That looks big!
Lots of rumors circling regarding the new UCS Falcon:
- October
- $600USD or more
- ESB Leia & Han, Chewbacca, Finn, Rey, BB8, TFA Han...and maybe a Mynock
- 2 dishes to convert it from OT to ST
- a detailed interior
With everything that is flying around, this rumor gets huge grains of salt at this time.

Exactly, it will be awesome.
I wonder how much the old Falcon price will drop.

Lego Worlds update:
Found a new larger city area... had some what mostly looked like a very near full fleshed out Creator Bike Shop & Cafe... was cool to walk around in first person they even had the wall-e robot!
Also, found town hall, though it seems a bit stripped down, but has most of the structures and main rooms (dont own set so I don't remember).
I think some of the coolest parts of Worlds is that you can basically get down to Minifig size and walk around these sets in first or third person.

Urgh, possible Falcon? They I need to hold back on the DS until confirmation. Although for me, DS would be more useful as a huge figure display, the Falcon is iconic as heck.
Another Minecraft set bigger than The Village though? In addition to the huge Ninjago sets that are coming? I can understand tapping the collector market with nostalgic licenses, but primary kids series?

Maybe. The original set was 5195 pieces. Star Wars sets seem to get much worse price to brick ratio with the bigger sets so this could be a 4500 piece set at $599.

That means everyone needs to buy 5x that set to display all 5.

Ooooh, I didn't know the Saturn V would include a little lander too.
This is probably the set I'm most looking forward to seeing and (almost assuredly) owning. I'm a little worried with just how long it's going to be, but being a multistage rocket will help with displaying it in smaller chunks lined up.
If it manages to keep the original Ideas submission's piece count (1179) I hope LEGO manages to keep the set at around $100-$125. Any more than that and I'll probably wait for a VIP deal or something. And hey, that LEGO Chess Set managed to have 1450 pieces and only cost $55! (yes I know it's mostly very simple pieces, but I can dream!)
Yeah, it's one I'm looking forward to a lot too. It'll depend on the price of it's a day one or a double/tripple VIP purchase though.Ooooh, I didn't know the Saturn V would include a little lander too.

In other news, I just bought the UCS Tie at 183 euro in stead of 229. As space is getting sparse and regular SW sets are getting pricier with every wave, I'm thinking of mainly focussing in UCS ships and skipping the playsets, a part from maybe one or two a year for the really cool ones (like the AT-ST from Rogue One). Would be the same spending or even cheaper...

Weird that it hasn't got a C-3PO to make up the whole ESB crew, I know he was guarding the ship while the others were mynock hunting but it still feels like an omission.
Actually I forgot to include C-3PO on my list. He's part of the rumored included minifigs.

Knowing UCS prices these days it'll be 5000 pieces but still $600 cause fuck you give me money
Oh shit that takes me over the edge
Bought VW beetle and London skyline, plus 3x VIP, free mini beetle and £10 cashback.
Still not sold on the beetle but I like the car line and it keeps my collection full, plus I like the pairing of big and small sets (love my tiny VW camper)

So i've just finished my own little ghetto lightbox made out of a lack table just like some of you guys here did, although i feel the cloth i used needs to be more translucent OR i need a stronger light source since the pics still feel too dark kinda hmmm...
I used that Bugatti Speed champions set to test it just now, and by the way, that is one awesome set! The way they used a red rubber band to give the illusion of an LED strip is totally genius, never seen before!!
sorry for the huge pics, forgot to convert them ;(

Mine were relatively dark, I just auto leveled then fucked with the levels a bit more in photoshop
Anyone else see this? LEGO KO company producing sets based on AFOL designs, but the twist? they're licensed the designers from the MOC Creators themselves.
I'm in two minds about it, on one hand, at least they're not outright stealing designs like other companies, on the other hand, they're not LEGO and not actually licensed by the IP holders (in the case of the Akira bike and Alien)
That last point is a grey area I know well though, you can make a product that looks like a licensed character but you can't use the name of that character associated with the product, but that's china for you

Pics of some Ninjago Movie stuff.
Some (like the already teased red mech) seem to be sets, minifigs (dat headgear!) are highly probable to be in sets and I guess the ones like the bad boy mech will be purely movie props.
Not sure on the green dragon - if it will fit the 540pcs set teased last time and the presence of chrome gold pieces as in the pic.

Hey Lego Gaf, so my kids are three and a half and one and a half so I've been buying a few Lego sets for (ahem) them and myself. The Duplo seemed a bit too easy for the eldest one, so I bought some Lego Friends sets. She can build about a quarter of the Lego Friends Puppy Day Care before she loses focus and I have to build the rest of it for her to play with. But she really likes playing around with the finished build.
Over the last couple of months I also purchased -
Lego Creator Log Cabin
Lego Creator Corner Deli
And yesterday I ordered -
Lego Friends Supermarket
Lego Friends Party Shop
Lego Friends Heart Lake Delivery Shop
My Wishlist now is the
Lego Friends Cupcake Shop
Lego Creator RV
Lego Creator Parisian Restaurant
Lego Creator Creative Assembly
I have no idea how to justify the cost of the last two to my wife >.<

I don't really give two shits about the story of Ninjago, but the dragons I have gotten so far tickle a nerve I needed, and Temple of Airjitzu tickles the nerve for old Japanese style architecture something fierce. Seeing the teases of mech and dragons pleases me greatly. Now to see if they can somehow top the Temple of Airjitzu with their next flagship set.
Although, all the ghost or spirit themed stuff like Morro Dragon hit the sweet spot for old Japanese folklore stuff combined with the horror elements of Monster Fighters. A truly dangerous combination for me.

Is that dragon and giant shark mech there an official set? I mean, somehow they don't even really look like Lego to me, the mech especially, if you look closer, it seems more like some weird alternate Bionicle thing than regular brick built Lego. Hard to tell though from the quality of the pic.
