I just do not understand the appeal of the SSD. It's a $400 set that is a giant, gray, symmetrical triangle filled with a bunch of tiny decoration pieces. I guess if you REALLY liked Star Destroyers...
To each his own, eh?

The SSD is a sexy looking model, but if they would make a new UCS Star Destroyer I would buy that in an instant. Regular Star Destroyer is cooler looking than an SSD. Yeah, I went there.
Although the ISD has a better design then the SSD, there is one thing I absolutely love about the SSD... the engines:
Speaking of the Western theme, I would remind/urge everyone to vote for the Western modular set on LEGO Cuusoo - they just broke the half-way mark (5,000 votes) for hopefully making this a reality.

What is the Lego number for ISD?
What is the deal with the Cuusoo website, is it a remarkably polished fan site or part of the official site?
It's official, if a set gets 10000 votes, it may get made. I think they actually produced 3 so far.

The third, obviously is the upcoming Minecraft set. It's creation and development has, unfortunately been better documented. I'm hopeful the Western Modulars above make the goal.
Why "unfortunately"?
I voted for the Western set.
Now vote for the Ultimate Collectors Series Sandcrawler. It's looks insane:

PICS
I think it's a waste of the service, especially given the final product and the way it was voted for by all the minecraft fans.
It's a testament to how effective the site can be and how anything can be produced though, I wont deny that.
Wow I never noticed the price difference between practically any other retailer and the lego online store. Are they seriously charging 120 for the xwing???

Are any of you subscribed to the Master Builder's Academy? I was considering buying those kits when free shipping happens. Wondering if it's worth it.

I got my son a subscription, and he seems to like them fairly well. I haven't had much of a chance to look at them yet. I wasn't aware of the 7-9 sets, though, I'd be interested in the modular design one myself.

Why is MBA US-only?
St. Basil's Cathedral!
Uh, no? The X-Wing shows up for me at retail price, USD 59.99. I know some sites will discount that price a very small amount (generally not more than more than 4 or 5% off for a non-sale set, though I guess BN.com was doing 10% off retail when the new Star Wars sets first launched), but Lego always sells for whatever their retail price is.
I am looking at the lego site right now and it still says $119 for the price. Nothing noted about VIP points just a price of 119.
Other strange pricing
449.99 for the Shuttle
89.99 for the Tie Fighter
Not sure why my prices are so high but that is what is showing up. I even added it to my cart to make sure it wasn't some wierd issue and it says my order total for a xwing would be 154.99 (35 shipping wow)
The US site?
I don't think I've posted this yet, custom instructions for the Batmobile Tumbler MOC I made a few years back

Because of double points March, yes?!
Yes, I even logged out of my username on there to make sure I didn't do something strange.
Unless something is escaping me I really don't see how that would be worth it. Why pay double the price just for...points?
This looks like the worst set ever, yet it gets the most votes this week. FUUUUUUUUU
Apple, the newest religion.
While we are on the topic of collectible minifigs, I'm not sure if everyone is aware of the upcoming VIP "fan's choice" set:
