Christ... The price for the Jedi Starfighter w/ Hyperdrive is just ridiculous in comparison to the Saturn V one.
€125,99 for 825 pcs
vs
€129.99 for 1969 pcs
Edit: I know the Saturn is price is way too low for what it is, but looking at both prices side by side made my jaw drop.

I know I shouldn't hope any help from NeoGAF
(I'm not a huge fan of Ghostbusters, but I actually like the building for itself, and the microbuilds inside seems great...)

Actually I was thinking about merging 2 GH HQ sets and making the original FDNY building before it was halved in 1910s.
Even have the other set purchased, but somehow I can't persuade myself to bear the costs of unMISBing the 2nd one and mixing the bricks...
I have a second, I just plan on making one big enough to fit the ecto inside, so a bit deeper and slightly wider. Just need to find the time
139,95 here in Finland from lego's site. For both sets.

What's the deal with 75191? Anyone seen it in the wild? Local TRU's here list it as not available for at local stores, and not available to ship to home. Called local TRU store and they said that it shows no information about the product. Also, LEGO doesn't show it listed for preorder on their site either...
Will this set launch later than tomorrow?

Yikes...! I know prices are historically higher over there, but is there a reason for that?
My first guess would be taxes but i doubt they're that high. At least one local store sells most Lego sets at far closer to the RRP, and they're one of the most popular places to get legos here...
So, probably just plain old greed or something.
EDIT Whoah, wait, what. RRP for Krennic's Shuttle is 99€. The store here sells it for 80€.

Saw several at my local TRU over the weekend. Passed it up because of it being way overpriced.

Slave 1 and Tie Fighter will both be retired this year.
No I meant the Spider-Man beware the Vulture set 76083 -- can't post s photo cos on mobile. Even the van is great.
Aaaaaand I have now finished building my bricklinked, mildly adjusted for budgetary concerns Cafe Corner. So yeah, it's... interesting. If nothing else it's really clear just how far the modulars (and probably sets in general, though this was well before I hopped back onto the Lego train so I couldn't say for sure) have come. There's just a ton of little steps that don't feel anywhere near as nice and firm as they do on the more modern buildings. Plus of course the empty inside, which I'll need to plot on what to do with. It's actually kind of bizarre to me that the inside is completely and utterly barren... but then they bothered to add the little banisters at the top of each set of steps. Anyway, neat to have and shall be proudly displayed with the others, but definitely my least favorite of the modulars I own (which is most but not all at this point. And of course it's understandable that it's less "complex," because it was there at the start, to kick things off.)
Also, it's incredibly amusing seeing the suggestion at the end of the instructions being all "look what you could make if you bought 6 of these!", which would be pretty silly when it was new, but looks like absolute madness now.
Edit: Also felt odd that there's just a corner of the baseplate completely unused, with no windows or doors or anything in the least pointing outwards from there. Just a big old walled off bit in the back. Feels real odd that they did that instead of just continuing it out that little bit extra to use up the whole plate.

Halfway through Saturn V (Bag 6) and the grey rings around the nozzle extensions that rotate down into place!! Damn.

Because you want those sweet looking sets from the impending film?
And I pray you got Temple of Airjitzu. If not, you owe it to yourself to get it. No, you deserve it.

For some reason the minifigs intrigue me. I have the Temple. I'm actually tossing up whether to get a second to enclose the structure.
I was lucky enough to get 31065 Park Street Townhouse for my birthday recently:
I continue to love everything about these smaller sized modular-style buildings. They're legitimately the highlight of my year every time they roll a new one out and I wish they did them more frequently.

That pic doesn't show the brick built poodle in the set.

Lego is art confirmed.
Have you guys seen that episode on Netflix about Art where a guy uses Lego to figure out designs?
I forget the name of the show
I bought my second Lego set to do with the kid someday. Island adventures was 40 percent off on amazon

I leave work around 11 central time and am worried that it may not go up before I leave and be sold out by the time I get home. If it's just backordered I could handle that, I suppose. But yeah, time for the refreshing to begin...

As someone who knows little about ninjago, is the temple worth it? I see it on Amazon and it caught my eye. It looks great.

Ugh trying to checkout with it now, got through to the review page before but realized it hadn't applied VIP points so tried to go back and apply them but then they didn't show up, now I'm trying to restart the checkout entirely and it's just not doing anything now. God this site is crap.

I don't know a damn thing about the Ninjago plot or characters, nor do I care. But the Temple is so damn good. Just classic Japanese architecture brought to plastic life in my home.

Good lord, I forgot what a piece of utter shite the S@H site is for major releases.

Couldn't keep trying at work so had to run home. Good news: It's still in stock. Bad news: Now I can't even add it to my cart. ...Why isn't it in there already, I thought this site saved your cart between sessions.
Wait actually I can't even login.....

My cart goes from showing nothing in my cart to having five in it with no way to alter the quantity. How can this site be so bad?
