1x8 may not be an issue if you're willing to swap them for 1x6 (and this set may include a bunch of 1x6). But yes, the modified 1x2 seems a large part of the design, and are insanely expensive last time I checked (this made me went into a sand blue GG)
Which hinge pieces? I don't remember an issue with those? (there's also the train windows, but I really thing it's as fine with normal 1x2x3 windows)
pls, no kill!
Let me throw you a distraction so you can escape.
So I finally opened the batgirl polybag from the Target bluray and was very VERY pleasantly surprised to find out it is indeed an exclusive fig. And an adorable one at that.

In other news, I've just finished the first seven sections of the Disney Castle. This thing is amazing so far....loving it.

It was one of my favorites to put together, and I have a ton of the modulars
I like all the throwbacks to other Disney movies that are in the castle too!
These:
Again, far from critical as theyre mostly covered by the baskets, mostly just saying that Lego hasnt pulled any sand green out of retirement in recent memory.
Not to say it couldnt happen, Astrid even made mention of the earth blue arches in WVM being something the fans would be happy to see back in a production set, so theyre at least somewhat aware.
I'm not up on the comics lately, but does she like Dick?
They have mostly been friends with occasional benefits for awhile now. They are the one true ship though (sorry Titan/Starfire fans), at least better than that garbage Batman x Batgirl floating around. Batman doesn't do ships.
Completely forgot about those... "mostly" being more like "totally"... If you want a perfectly correct GG, yes (and good luck with some parts) but that's even less a problem than the 1x8 -> 1x6 switch, I'd say.These:

Ugh, just finished Stage 2 of Saturn V and i just cannot ATTACH it to stage 1 without some side panels of S1 breaking off while trying to fit the 4 clips together.
Did anyone have a similar issue or did i fuck up somewhere along the way?(((

That 4x1 tan piece would be closer to the rim if it was symmetric. If built incorrectly, the whole sections falls off when you try to attach stage II.
?
This step maybe?

To whoever recommended (or told me) about their IKEA glass shelves for their LEGO, thank you! They're no longer all over the house, and now relegated to one condensed area.
And I'm glad I have SOME extra room now because I have quite the backstock, haha.

That's.... your backlog?
Trust me when i say that right now at least... you have nothing to worry about

The next one(s) I'm looking forward to are the next architecture set (I have about 15-20 of them, not pictured), the Ninjago Movie Boat, and the Ninjago Movie City Set (if it's cool).
In that stack are the carousel, whatever the newest modular was, a couple of architectures, the creator lighthouse set, the Ninjago temple, and the cardboard box has two modulars I bought off of Reddit (that are disassembled in the box).

Me?
I LOVE lighthouses. I think they're cool in a non-nautical way, haha.
I've suffered through depression here and there though life, and a lighthouse was always a cool symbol to me of light through darkness. I also have a ton of LEGOs because I was going through a rough patch at one point, and being able to zone out and just build something was an awesome distraction.
Eventually the bad parts went away, but the ability to get a ton of LEGO as an adult is fun still. It's like re-living my childhood.

Yeah, I attached the 1x4 one stud higher, but only on one side for some reason. It not matching the others stood out and got fixed before I even went onto phase 2.
It is funny how many of us are messing up the same simple step.

Awesome! Glad to hear another generation into it.
There's a huge line of the creator homes like the lighthouse, and a good portion of them are 3in1 (where the house can be summer/autumn/winter). The lighthouse isn't like that, but I think they'd be a good start for kids since they can actually re-do them in a different style if they'd like.
Yup I grabbed the plane on sale and we started doing it with his great grandfather last night. They were loving it.
And like you said we get to build other things in the future

I've got the Creator lighthouse built at the moment, and I love it. It's so cute. The designer video convinced me to buy it, so dig that out and just try to resist. Would definitely pick it up on sale, no hesitation.
And it's modular!
As with all Creator sets, it's the little touches I love the most, like the seagulls.
I want to know how many went all in and mixed the bags.
I've got my R2 to do and I'm soooooo tempted.
Never mixed the bags and never plan to. Expert sets always end with most bags open after step 3 anyway, but I like how there are rules to keep certain types separated that would otherwise get confused easily. If I did mix the bags I'd at least separate big and small
That said - Saturn v is almost easy because of how they break up the bags in stages. The build itself is complex but the bag arrangement is super easy
hmm, some TLJ fig leaks, don't expect anything special

I wouldn't be too afraid to get something like that for a child. It's a learning experience and you really can never tell what kids will draw inspiration from. Plus it comes with a buildable killer whale.
I actually think that Snoke is pretty good! You couldn't tell from the box art that showed up recently, but I think they've done a decent job at capturing his likeness.
In other news, I picked up Kylo's shuttle. Yeah I know the wings don't fold out and the colour is off but it was a pretty decent build and the wings are cool as they are. Love the minifigs too.
That's one thing I've developed recently which I didn't foresee, wanting to buy sets because of the minifigs. I picked up the Imperial tank thing from the Rogue One line for Chirrut, and then the carbon freezing set for Han, Boba and the Ugnaught.
Next on my list is the Quadjumper....but I keep looking at the Combat Frigate for that's Ahsoka minifig...
Three (so far) of the Ninjago Movie sets include a new laser pointer, which is being referred to in set descriptions as the "ultimate weapon".
All three have the same design, so I wonder if they come pre-built, or if there is a core that you add pieces to. Given the pieces shown, I would think the latter, unless they've kragled the whole thing together.

Looks like a black version of this:
With one of these in the middle:
With this in black on the end of that.

I doubt LEGO would give a real laser pointer to kids
And to hide a battery in a pin sized opening would mean it will have a tiny capacity.
+1 here for it being just brick built
Also does this mean the movie will have alternate storyline in 'real world' ?
Not necessarily, Lego Batman had elements of the real world in it too without having any kind of parallel real world story. I assume the laser pointer is Ninjago's Kragle.
Bouny Hunter Battle Pack arrived. First set I bought solely for the minifigs, as the speeder doesn't appeal to me at all (I've bought sets in the past desiring one or some of the figs, but it always had a vehicle or build related to a movie, or just something cool)
Will build it though. Offcourse I will.

Apologies if its already been covered, but sainsburys are doing the batgirl minifig as a pack in freebie with the DVD version of the movie in the UK.
wasn't going to bother with the movie until the kids summer holiday, but y'know i guess we're watching it tonight.

Not with the Blu-Ray though, right? Which is just so dumb.
Uhu, same here. Online retailer Bol has a DVD version with a suprise figure (I suspect Batgirl), but nothing for the blu ray. To make matters worse, the 3D blu ray is very expensive, as it comes with the normal Blu Ray + DVD + digital copy too. I'll wait a bit before I jump...

Its a great build and the finished model looks great, probably still my favourite UCS that I own. I have Red 5, Slave 1, Tie Fighter and the Snowspeeder.
Unexpected Father's Day present: my kids picked out, without my input, the constraction Speeder Bike! My seven year old daughter said "I knew you didn't have this one and I thought he looked cool." I was very surprised.
Also, shout out to oneknightr for making me an offer I couldn't refuse on... well I'll post pictures when it's finished

Good for you, may have been me who recommended those. Those shelves are classy and affordable. I love them and have nine of them in the display area of the Lego basement.
Finally tackled some of my backlog. I made some custom shelves and built 5 of these UCS sets in the last 2 months. It's been so tough having the SSD in the box the last few years. A few were already assembled and collecting dust in storage. I think the only thing missing is some led lighting. Any suggestions for good lighting kits?
Ahh good. Looking forward to it! Those are basically the ones I want too!

I like the industrial look of the plumbing pipes(?) used for the supports for your shelves. Did you think of that yourself?
