Hello, Diseased Yak. My name is PeteZaTheHutt. I haven't purchased a LEGO set in almost 3 months. Thanks to the support of everyone here, except Phonciple, I've almost reached my goal of waiting until October... << falls down and succumbs to wave after wave of withdrawal convulsions as the support group politely claps in support >>

What do you think is a fair price for that polybag ghost? I'm in Holland and they don't sell it here, only through Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay)

Is it available in Germany? If so any Germans here who are willing to send me one? I think it's about 90 cents to send from there, so that would be cheapest for me.

Reposting, because the awesome haul of diseased yak totally overshadowed my post.

And Tence, I would pay no more than about $10 to $15USD.

Hey, I did get double points on some of those, plus free shipping on quite a bit, but others were purchased on clearance at Target and such. They're also compiled over the last 2 months or so. I've been in the middle of a move, don't have a decent place to build, and have been waiting on a table and chairs.

That finally happens Wednesday, and I'll get to building, woot!

I just can't stop buying :(

Indeed, welcome PeteZaTheHutt, to LEGO Anonymous.

Death Star Time Lapse Video

The audio is a bit out of sync, as I was too lazy and tired to edit the music to be the exact length. And the end of the video gets a bit jumpy. It was hard keeping the build in frame yet still be able to see the pieces being assembled.

Oh my lord. I have only watched the first 20 seconds, but I thought the first thing you were building was the middle layer, the widest point of the set... .and then you added the actual middle layer and I learned the set did indeed start with the bottom.. I would love to be able to afford this lego.

Edit:....oh dear. That wasn't the widest point either. MONSTROUS.
 
Is that another teaser for the game?

Really hope the LOTR theme continues. With the Hobbit now as a multi-film franchise TLG could easily get this on the same tier as Star Wars.
 
Been out of the Lego scene for a few months; how did the most recent round of Star Wars sets turn out in turn of quality and whatnot? Specifically looking at probably The Malevolence, R2-D2, and the Republic striker Starfighter, any impressions or anything? Ideally I'm looking to pick up the SSD, but that may or may not happen short-term.

Edit: Wait, why is the SSD $359 right now on Amazon? Are they price-matching a sale or something? If it stays that way for a few more days.....hm.
 
Just saw the email saying VIPPERS can get the Winter set early or they can choose to wait and get double VIP points from the 1st October. I know which one I'm going for.

Striker is nice, really like how the wings fold in, and the mini figs are fantastic. The TOR mini figs are a highlight for me
 
I just got myself Mill Village Raid for my birthday! I have always wanted this set. I could not find it near me last Christmas, but saw it today. I really only get myself Lego sets on my birthday and Christmas, but I am really excited when I do. This one looks really fun.

I just got the same email. Pretty sweet that they are offering early access to VIP'ers, but I can wait until Double Points.

Oh, yes. The set is a beast. It just keeps growing and growing. Basically to the point that it is tough to build while sitting because it gets so high. The biggest area (middle layer) is the most fun and involved build too. The Emperor's Throne Room is great, but the cell block looks great when done. I think my favorite and least favorite part of the entire set is the super laser. It is an incredible repetitive step, but the way it all folds into a flower type shape for the dish is so awesome.
 
I think I'm gonna go for the early access actually. Being in Australia shop@home is pretty useless so VIP points aren't that big of a deal. The only problem is if they randomly offer free shipping for us in October...
 
I've just ordered from the official Lego store for the first time for the Batman Funhouse set and well I didnt realise it would be sent from the Netherlands. Anyone from the UK been charged customs when ordering Lego from there?

edit - nevermind, I'm an idiot.
 
My Lego store in Colorado Mills is awesome. They got bored and figured out which minifigs are which for the latest series and got some sorted behind the desk. Got the DJ, Robot, Conquistador and Pirate. Also bought the Halloween minifig collection...this is why I'm a regular.
 
Tence said:
Awesome. Too bad he has a minimum order of &#8364; 10,-. I don't see anything else I want haha.
Click to expand...

I'd be interested in two of those. You could order 3 and send me 2, I'll also pay for shipping (provided it's not too much, depends on where you live).

EDIT: wait you're Dutch right? Than I'm definitely in for 2 of those polybags. Sent me a PM and we'll work something out. :)

The rumor going around various LEGO sites right now is that next year will see a new version of the UCS X-wing. It's a divisive issue, as some think that a new version would devalue the original, and that the UCS series should be about collectibles, while others (including those who never got the chance to get the original) would welcome a new version. Another argument is that LEGO should continue making unique UCS's and not start to redo what has come before.

Personally, I welcome a new UCS X-wing, and would love to see what LEGO could do with it 12 years after the original.

Hell yes. Set that precedent Lego, and then give me a brand new Star Destroyer and falcon. You know they want to, they see how much money they are going for. I'll buy all three

Not sure how much they could improve on the falcon, but the SD could definitely be better
 
Looking to trade/buy some Lego Minifigures Series 8:

I have an extra: DJ, Evil Robot, and Pirate Captain

I need one each of: Downhill Skier, Faery, Actor, Alien Villainess, Diver, Lederhosen Guy, Businessman

Drop me a PM if you want to trade or have one of my missing ones to sell. Thanks! I'm GAF Gold in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread and all that.
 
I put together Mill Village Raid last night. Pretty cool set. I just wish they had more stuff going on in the bigger building. Kind of plain inside.
 
The Bricktober event at ToysRus will be running the entire month of October. Each week during the month, they will be giving away one of the Vintage Minifigure Collections (V1 to V4) with qualifying purchase (rumor is that the threshold is $60).

Argos in the uk has 3 for 2 on all toys, including Lego. In store items only but you can reserve online. They have things like battle of helms deep and the recent friends sets.
 
Welp finally used my 10% off coupon today and I ended up with the Haunted Mansion over Fire Brigade. If I did my math right, don't I save more if I buy Haunted Mansion now with 10% off and VIP points and get Fire Brigade in a week with double VIP points rather than the other way around? It seemed like there were three on the shelf of the Fire Brigade which should be plenty to hold out for a week I think. I got the better deal right?

Sweet! My son and I are going to build the HH on Saturday for our Halloween display.

I've had it since the 1st, but held off until now - its like tantric LEGO.

I am too weak to hold off on stuff. Far too weak. I should hold it for the weekend off, but I know I will tear right into it tomorrow night.
