I really liked the Millennium Falcon a lot. It was my first build back in January. The X-Wing looks pretty cool when it's done, but a lot of it is building the wings. I just felt it was a bit disapppointing. The TIE fighter looks kinda cool, but it feels like it's a fast build. I could be wrong as I don't have that one.

Question: How do I go about getting a replacement sticker sheet? Is there a way to do it on the LEGO Web site?

I have a mid-scale Millennium Falcon that I bought used (got a great deal), and the stickers were applied askew. I'd like to get a new sheet to apply straight.

Just saw this a few pages back, so apologies if it's been answered.

Basically goto the support section on the website to the replacement parts section. There's no drop down for stickers, I just put 'other' and described the sticker sheet and the problem. With my request as it was a licensed set (Star Wars) I also had to send them set info from the manual. But other than that it was an easy process.

I'm very glad that the larger sets are starting to put the instructions and stickers in a bag with a sheet of card these days.

Hey, thanks for answering. =)

Is it free?

I've ordered a replacement part before, for a part that was missing from my Death Star, and there was no charge. But I did buy the set new at the LEGO store. Will they also supply a replacement sticker sheet for a set I didn't buy there, especially a used one?
 
Please forgive me for trying one last time to find a third for our eu group.
Also Zulithe is looking for partners in north America!

jointly ordering a complete Box of Series 7 Minifigs (and possibly backordering other series)

So I am thinking of ordering a complete box of 60 Minifigs for Series 7, they are then cheaper and I don't have to feel out the bags.
Now from all the Information we have, one gets 3 complete sets from a box and a few random extras.

So I am looking for 2 fellow LEGOgaf Members who would like to share in the endeavor.
I would order the complete box, sort out the 3 complete sets and we can decide what to do with the extras later (ie distribute them randomly among us or something like that)

We divide the cost of the order by three and well the other two have to additionally pay the shipping from me to them.
I am located in Germany, so you can roughly estimate how much the postage will cost you.
Residents of germany will inadvertently pay less postage than australians...

There is now a Box on sale at Bricklink for 100€+5€ postage, that means 35€ for 20 Minifigs (including I would hope a complete set) (+postage to you)
other sales range up to 120€

If many people are interested we might be able to split the whole thing up into regional joint order groups of three.


I would keep this post updated with people who are interested. so please indicate your location for possible grouping.

Members of the joint ordering group of LEGO gaf (MOJOgroup)

Blah, I had the my expired credit card in my Lego profile. Turns out, the order I placed was denied. My VIP points are in limbo and I can't order again until they come back. :(
 
Huh, I didn't realize the Fire Brigade set can actually be ordered from Amazon.com and shipped to Canada. After $30 shipping and $20 import fees it comes out to about $200.

Which I guess is only about a savings of $20 after tax - and that's ignoring currency conversion fees and the fact that our dollar is lower than it has been, so ordering from Lego wouldn't really cost that much more (plus I get VIP points).

Odd the Minecraft set cannot be shipped here. It seems to work that way with various videogames too for whatever reason.
 
R2D2 is a dense little bugger, he's practically solid brick. modding him to add power functions looks really difficult. I guess you could remove the retractable third leg and just have it permanently extended. Not really sure why they bothered with that anyway
 
Help meh!! I want to place an order on LEGO.com at the last minute to get Hulk. I'm thinking of going with the Wolverine/Deadpool helicopter set for the sweet figs, but I still need $30 in good to make up the difference. I was gonna go with the Uruk-Hai Army set, but because there's possibly a double VIP points deal involving that, I'd rather get something else around $30. But WHAT?! All suggestions are welcome. No Star Wars.

Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout so you can get REAL Hulk :p
 
I'm sorry guys, no fire brigade for me in the near future. I decided that my Imperial Shuttle was open to rebel attacks without an escort, so I bought the Tie-Fighter. Then I decided that my Tie-Fighter needed an opponent, so I bought an X-wing.
After that I used my old Lego bricks to make something for them to stand on:

This is the result. I'm sorry about the poor picture quality (and the mess).

nice one, you just need the Falcon, then a Star Destroyer
 
Dammit, this thread is making me want to start getting LEGO (again - had a lot when I was a kid). Those modulars look pretty amazing. But it's all so damn expensive!
 
Wanted another mini-Hulk before the promo ran out. Just ordered the Carrier Breakout (so I could get big-Hulk) and then that Monster Fighters Swamp thing set to push myself over the 50 dollar mark.

arg. I needed that fix.

If you buy it tomorrow from Lego's online store, you will get a small Sopwith Camel, free shipping and $5 off your next purchase with VIP points.

I'm in Sweden, though. Is it the same in Europe?

EDIT: Haha, the Swedish prices on Lego.com are hilarious. They've just gone and multiplied the US prices by 10, even though a US dollar is only worth about 7 SEK. So the Sopwith Camel ($99.99) costs 999 SEK (about $137.50), and the Town Hall ($199.99) costs 1999 SEK (about $275). How nice! But that's what always happens here, be it video games or anything else pretty much.

(Ok, so our 25% sales tax is always included in Swedish prices, but the prices are still way too high even considering that.)
 
After buying that shopping bag of LEGO for $70 & sorting out what I hoped was the complete parts of the Technic 8051 MotorBike, I finally finished it. Awesome build. Didn't apply the stickers cause I hate them. Wish the manuals & boxes were included though.

Now to figure out the rest of the shopping bag. I really want complete sets.
 
Awaiting for my first Lego star wars - R2. then slowly get other ships to build my display.

I think I'll get the smaller Millenium version next. can't really afford the ucs edition.
 
Got my lego.com order in; Olivia's House and Mini-Hulk. Instead of the main build, I'll try to combine the other Friends sets I have and make a modular apartment building with some store on the ground floor.

That looks fantastic.

Hope the rest of the haul has some good stuff in it (and without too many missing pieces).

Still mildly bitter that Gandalf does not have a custom staff. The White would require a different custom mould too. So I guess I'll get over it.

Yeah I ended up ordering a custom one from brickforge for him.

As for an exclusive LOTR, it could be anything really, even prologue characters like aragorns ancestor who lost the ring, can't remember his name.
 
Going take my 12 week old daughter to visit my parents tomorrow and I plan to stop by the local Lego store when they open at 10:00 am. I've decided that of they have a Fire Brigade in stock, I'll pull the trigger.

There's free shipping from June 1st to 15th with a purchase of $75 or more. I'll probably end up getting Master Builder Academy Level 7-9 and some other small set.

Except for the free shipping, I assume the deals are the same everywhere since the UK has similar deals.
 
UK store seems to have updated... Sopwith Camel, Sungnyemun, City Garage, Helicopter Rescue... no sign of Minecraft. :-/

OK, I was too quick. It's up now: http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Minecraft-21102

£35?! Fuck me, it was rumoured £30. It's like £20 converted in the US. :(

Edit: Hmm, quite a bit more new stuff up now: Big Ben, Republic Striker-class Starfighter, Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter, Gungan Sub, Jabba's Palace (£120!!!!), The Malevolence, Sith Fury-class Interceptor, and the next wave of the SW mini-globes.
 
I really don't know what to do. I really like and want that Hulk minifigure, but there isn't really $50 worth of stuff on there that I feel like paying $9.00 shipping plus tax to get, just for Hulk. It doesn't help that Walmart has Whitecap Bay on clearance for $40, and I really want to build that Port Royal set from LEGO.com. And I can only really swing one more ~$50 purchase for now.

Little LEGO Hulk >>> Hulk's Helicarrier Hulk

Isildur.

Don't suggest such things. You make me hot and bothered. I would have to buy anything to get it.

Though earlier today I was thinking about how nice it would be to see a Second Age set of the battle. Isildur, Elrond, Gil-galad... Sauron. I'd melt.
