When they say they didn't get the preorder bonus it's a high probability they took it for themselves.

As a Canadian who travels pretty regularly, the deals aren't all that prevailant outside of online-only sales.
Or maybe I'm just bitter that there were no deals at the Super Target I just went to.

Just got my late holiday 2012 catalog. On page 2 it mentions exclusive VIP promotions on shop@home this Saturday only. Any ideas on what those are?
Is that a kids club catalog? If not where can I sign up to receive a catalog?

Lego catalog. If you have ordered from them or are a VIP, you should get it in the mail. I usually get it later than everyone else on here. And I never get the coupons in them either.

Ordered from them online I'm assuming? As opposed to old-fashioned mail-order-catalog ordering.

And here is Eris... a female Eagle-thing. I don't think this theme is for me.
But if the sets are super nuts, I am there. But yeah, the figures are not lighting my fire.

Is that a...bird belly button?

Just grabbed the Haunted House for 139.99!!!-$40.00 in VIP points
This will be fun for my wife and son to build on New Years Day!!!
Nice! I've pretty much decided that Haunted House will be my next purchase. (Unless another set goes oop). Only thing that sucks is its sold out everywhere and Amazon sellers are price scalping.

I don't buy oop sets because of the markup, and not knowing how much I'll like it. Since I know how awesome Slave I is, I'd probably buy it. It's my favorite SW ship of the new Falcon, TIE and X. For reference I didn't like the Falcon much--the playset aspect didn't do much for me, and it's too fragile and big for swoosh.
The biggest flaw in Slave is when you open the torpedo doors, they tend to break off. Otherwise it's close to perfect. Scale is good, great playability, and great little details.

Oh, my brain hurts reading this from Yahoo.
What in the world? It is as if a Frankenstein monster of Babelfish and a PR generator made that article up.

I can't help but stare at the one module of vampyre castle that's been built and fantasize about buying a second one to combine with it. Perhaps I need to sell out and apply to work on wall street when I graduate
. I'd love to work for Lego but don't want to move that far, and also I'm sure designer jobs are a bitch to get.
No way I'm qualified but if I add some math to my transcript and make it to an interview maybe I can bullshit my way in...

One step closer:
You could also take the "helmets" on those mini figs into more disturbing territory. They are wearing the skins of their fallen enemies.

Do you have any Lego Stores or toysrus's near you? Maybe a Lego store or R'us within reasonable driving distance might have one?
I hope you find one for 179.00 or less!!
Damn yoo!!! *shakes fist*
Dat scale!! Dat playability!!
And my son wanted it last year or the year before when TRU had them on the shelf too!!
Frog Pilot: "Dahdoo Dahdoo!"
Edit: or do I forget and does the frog say "Re be be jammin!"
I'm talking about SNES voices here...
If only...
In other more grounded realities, I missed the $99 Millennium Falcon at TRU. And I see it is that price at Walmart, but it is not available online, and my local store is sold out. I have checked a few other sites but had no luck so far. Has anyone seen any other sales on it right now? I am hoping to get it for my nephew's Christmas present.

Is that my option for Haunted House at this point? I haven't kept up with the news besides hearing it all goes oop this year. There's a Lego store here but they mark up a lot, so it might be cheaper to buy it at lego.com with shipping.

And with one figure, series 9 proves its superiority over series 8.

How exactly does one become a reviewer for Lego sets and get them early?

Inverted 2x2 tile? Be still my heart!
How the arrows are done. That is so awesome. I was under the impression we were getting inverted cheese slopes to pull it off, but this is so ingenious.
Oh, and it looks like Jamie is pulling out his awesome "let's build it upside down!" technique again:
Also, the more I look at the pics of past trains, the more I want them. It would be dangerous for me to get into the trains. Of course, I know I will get Horizon Express soon (all that lovely orange!), but the older trains are calling now.
yea LEGO GAF deserves
A collective reviewership? How would we decide who reviews what?
The HE looks like it is smiling.
