Is that the number form the bag itself?

Nope. That's their sku. Useful for checking brickseek though. Another lego fan snatched up a whole case in my area yesterday.

I appreciate it, but looking for the actual upc to check at work to see if we are getting them.

I am disappointed that it's being cancelled. The show has been excellent lately.

Appropriate quote from Star Wars VIII trailer.
"I know only one truth. It's time for the Jedi to end"
Neat little freebie, I don't know why I thought the animal figs would be bigger. The Friends sets keep throwing me off on sizes of the figs and accessories. The little animals are more like baby bunnies and baby cats or mice or whatever the other ones are. About the size of trophy pieces or that little dog that came with the paris hilton fig in that one CMF series. Anyways, yea its not a bad freebie for the amount of little animal pieces you got and i'm going to throw the baby bunnies into my Pet Shop for sure.
I don't think cancelled is the right word tho. The time period the series is set in suggests that it always had a limited window of time to tell this particular story. I always thought it'd end at either season 4 or 5....
Well, it's consistent with the way Star Wars is handled. If it's good, ditch it. Look at EU...

Well, Clone Wars went on for a quite a while though...
The EU was ditched because it limited them in the way they could develop the new trilogy. It was the logical thing to do.
I feel Rebel ends because they feel the story is told. Better that way then a couple of seasons too many with a lot of filler.

We never got a Revan vs Malak or Ebon Hawk set, right?
Just the Revan promo minifig.

They should do one of the battle packs with just Sith Lords like the one with just bounty hunters.
Revan, Malak, Bane and maybe Plagueis with a small build like a training robot or something. Maybe T3-M4?
Yes and no...
I understand easily the idea of making the EU non-canon. They had quality material, they couldn't make shitty movies if they had to stick with that. So, yes, they had to ditch EU.
The only gripe I have is the freeze. They could have made EU an active parallel universe. Wouldn't have been a first. Sometimes, you even get insane ideas to merge different timelines like X-Men

If we're totally honest with ourselves, the only thing of value lost with the elimination of the EU was Skippy The Jedi Droid.

Thanks. Grabbed a City Space Port and Deep Sea Helicopter. Saw some friends and Minecraft too.

Regardless of your like or dislike of the new movies, I'm not convinced at all that using old EU material as a basis for the new films, or trying to fitting them into the canon of the EU, would mean better or good films. On the contrary, I think it's way harder to adapt a good book into a good film then extend a series with new written-for-film stories.
You also have to consider that Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford and the rest can't play their younger selves anymore. So it would be hard to adapt for post Jedi-books to film. And if they would regard those as canon and make new stories 30 years on from Jedi, most of the audience of the new films wouldn't know the stories that happened between episode VI and VII. So in every regard it was the right and logical thing to do. And that includes the freeze for me. It would be very complicated to have new books in the one timeline and others in the new. Even the new X-Men timeline was actually just a prequel they mixed with some time travel mumbo jumbo, retconning the worst movie of the series.
Anyway, let's not turn this in a Star Wars topic.
Ontopic: I'm having a deadline at work tomorrow which I'l finish tonight. Which means tomorrow I'll have some time to build. I'm finally going to put the F40 together. Saving the UCS Tie for the may 1st weekend, to get me warmed and hyped up for the Snowspeeder.

You're in for a great build. My son started it and I finished it a couple of weeks ago. I had just built 5767 Cool Cruiser and 4993 Cool Convertibe and the build techniques are light years better on the Ferrari.
Yeah, I have high expectations. The Creator Expert vehicles are some of my favourite sets, and have never failed to amaze. The VW Beetle by the same designer as the F40 was absolutely amazing. It's actually the main reason I bought it, as I'm not particularly fond of Ferrari cars.

Problem with lego. There are to few nice official models aimed at adults. I have the mini and the camper van. Those are nice. But they are very similar in structure.
Sad thing is you see all of these super nice moc. On an whole other level.

The Creator Expert line goes further than vehicles. The Modulars might not look like adult-orientated, but they actually are and they are brillint. Haven't dipped my toes in Creator landmarks yet, but might once they have a building I'm fond of (I'm really hoping they do the Belém Tower from Lisbon one day. The Manueline style architecture could lead to some great greebling)
They aren't very close. I need a little more to go on than that
There's about 5 pages worth of discussion and reports since yesterday of whats at various B&N locations around the country at this thread (starting about half way down the page)

LEGO's website and Bricklink are places you can go to order individual LEGO pieces, which gives you the option of making some of those really cool MOCs that people have made.
I've personally built two sets from doing that, a Mini-Modular version of the Winchester pub from Shaun of the Dead (a full sized one was an early LEGO Ideas submission, but LEGO didn't accept it), and I made a Mini-Modular version of the Pet Shop building (the official mini-modular hasn't included any of the new modulars starting with the Pet Shop).
I find the LEGO Ideas sets tend to be a little more adult focused, at least in the sense that a lot of the franchises they use are usually older properties (like the Beatles yellow submarine), science-y stuff (like the Mars Rover, and the upcoming Saturn V rocket), or just interesting original ideas (like the ball rolling maze or the upcoming fishing shop building).

And most pieces being fairly common. The only one that may be harder to find for most is the grey 1x1 tooth tile piece near the end. Otherwise pretty straightforward and common parts. Awesome!
Much appreciated. Thank you.

Whoa, Temple of Airjitzu?! WTF!?
And another 10% off the sale price if you have a B&N membership.
Halfway trough and you didn't lie. What an amazing building experience. This thing builds in every direction, and the way some angles are created by having one microbuild support another: amazing.

Now get the VW Beetle for an even better build.
Allready have it. And idd, it's also an incredible build with similar suprises. Was my 2nd favourite 2016 set. Only Disney Castle spoiled it's party

Really digging how you pulled off the nose on that. Great work!
What's the best way to buy pieces for something like this? Really interested in building it
yes, bricklink
wait for the set contents/set to be added there and just add it to a wanted list
or
get the LDD file http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/ind...go-sets-made-in-ldd/&page=192#comment-2781297 and upload it to a wanted list (as the post says, might need to manually find the hair and printed parts)
From there it is just to find a good match on price vs shipping costs.
Finished the F40. As i said before: amazing build with so many cool techniques and suprises. The way the angles are created, how little details click into a bigger build. Wonderful.
And despite not liking Ferrari's at all, I do like the model.
Not sure if VW Beetle actually had the better build, as it's been a while since I built it. Overall I like the beetle more as a set, but the F40 is a must-have too.
And now I wish the designer get's his hand on a Star Wars UCS one day...
