But I get points with the LEGO store!
Thanks for the heads up! Ordered it for collection on Saturday since I'm gonna be going right past the nearest John Lewis...

Nice! Haven't come across any spidey sets myself just yet.

This is probably the first time this walmart has had anything out early, they're usually 2-3 weeks late with everything.
Bat-bird Vultureman is a cool build, Shocker's shockers are disappointing though, just those big fist thingies. And you don't actually get a Tony Stark, the head is just blank trans-blue. Weird.

Holy moly, I knew the Saturn V was going to be big before I bought it, but it's WAY bigger than I pictured in my head.
I finished the first module and just that is huge, and it's only about half of the total height or so.

This deal is getting worse all the time!
I finished it yesterday. Not my favorite in terms of overall look but, yeah, the inside build was fantastic. The money laundry mini-build was probably the highlight for me.

I got it last night along with the Microfighter U-Wing. That U-Wing is an incredible representation of the full model - it may be my favorite Microfighter yet.
No Falcon news.
No SW Summer sets over here yet.
Can't order Saturn V or Space Shuttle Explorer yet.
was the saturn v excepted to be released now?

Lego stores are June 1st. However, I bought the Saturn V this morning at my local Barnes & Nobel store in Chicagoland.
It releases June 1st, but some stores in the US already had it in stock apparently. (see a few pages back)
However, my post was more of a "The Saturn V page is teasing me by not letting me pre-order it

So is 75136 a good build? Can get it for 21 at Webhallen and they only have 3 left.

Neither of them will retire for at least a year, but if you're not going to buy the second one for a very considerable amount of time then I imagine the Carousel will be a lot harder to Bricklink.
It'll be around longer too, though, if you can pick it up in a reasonable time.
Will probably be Apollo 13, When we left Earth and From the Earth to the Moon for me!
I'm watching Sherlock season 4
Also on the Saturn V, this build is just pissing me off with the brilliant SNOTwork. I seriously want to smack the designers of it for making me feel like an idiot with his mouth agape. Just saying.
EDIT: I think the more years you have put in LEGO the more brilliantly irritating this build is. I don't hate it, the techniques are just maddening insane.
I'm going to suggest Silent Mary. Yea a bit of bias, its still holding strong as my favorite set this year but since its the only PoTC set, and a large one at that, there is really no telling when it will be retired or what its shelf life will be. Because of all the unique pieces, zombie sharks and of course being a ship it will probably rise pretty high in the after market too. Ferris Wheel is still available so its a good bet Carousel will be around for a while.
Speaking of Carousel after watching Jang's reviews on the Batwing and Ultimate Batmobile sets i'm not as hyped on them. I'm still interested in both but I can wait for sales on them. If I have the extra money after getting Saturn V on the 1st I may get the Carousel mid june.
I was just going to post it
I guess those are the biggest ones.
The walker looks funny with the pumped up front legs and thin hind ones

first order star destroyer looks cool, not sure how to feel about the assault walker. Im not a huge fan of its design from that blurry picture, the proportions and shape of the head are kind of weird, but it might be better in high quality

An evil BB-8? Seriously?
Underwhelmed with the
Otherwise... looking good
Snoke minifigure
yeah it's long been discussed that he's actually close to human size and his projection was just for effect. I thought he was still supposedly taller than an actual human though?
It reminds me of how I feel about captain america minifigs... they deserve an actual helmet piece not just a stud on top. Snoke is an important character, they could have done something better.

Dat one figure reveal is both awesome and underwhelming.
