LEGO ERA |OT| Rebuilding One Brick at a Time.

Looks cool but way too pricey, about $31ish for a 182 piece set.
based on that first tease (Hero select), we are at least getting Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, and McCree
Looks like Walmart has a few deals on.
Brick Bank - $135

Guess I need to bite on the bridge while it's on sale. Might be retiring soon? Won't even build the bridge, just going to jump straight into the custom modular lol.
Probably want to try and bricklink the right parts to clean it up though. Tiles and such.

Holy shit, I'm a huge Flintstones fan. I purchase very little LEGO these days but that set would be perfection.YABADABADOO!
This is the first Ideas submission since the Fisherman's Hut that I was crossing everything to ensure that it was the chosen project for LEGO to build upon and release... and my wish for The Flintstones model has come true!
Robin I'm fairly sure the cool red guys are called "Royal Guard" but I could be wrong. I was desperate to find the Kenner action figures of them back in the 90s but unsuccessful. Star Wars has so many great character designs.
Yeah, It's pretty pricey. I told myself I was going to buy everything Overwatch but I hope this is the only Blizzard shop exclusive.
I still need to open my UCS Snowspeeder, but Ninjago City is one of the best sets I've ever built. It kind of looks like a mess of clashing styles (which is the charm imo), but it's filled to the brim with cool details, brilliant techniques and has a massive selecten of great minifigs.
It also gives you a lot of bang for your bucks compared to UCS sets, which have a heavy Star Wars-tax. But it kind of depends on what you want to build? A cool, detailed spaceship model? Or a modular type building that has playfeatures too?
Someone on Reddit designed a part 2 render of the Hogwarts model. He promises to release instructions after he builds IT with real lego bricks!

Pop-up book announcement. 859 pieces. $70.

The Little Red Riding Hood diorama is nice, especially the wolf mini-fig.
A little iffy on the Jack and the Beanstalk. Though the mechanism might be interesting if no manual effort is needed for the extension.

There's video reviews of it already. The beanstalk indeed folds up automatically which is pretty cool.
Well the Overwatch sets "leaked" by Target.
Six sets, doesn't look like the license tax is too bad. They got a good Bastion.
Ah hell, those look good. The Dva and Reinhardt set, Dorado, and the one with Winston looks glorious.
I'm liking a lot of the overwatch sets and they are priced well. Only few issues are:
- why does tracer need a car
- no torb or symmetra love :/
- why does tracer need a car

The Tracer set is the payload from the Watchpoint Gibraltar map, not just a random vehicle. I imagine that's why they included the pieces to fill the cockpit.
And kids love vehicles.
Man, I'm LOVING the Gibraltar rocket.
Much like Maze, I hope it won't be too tricky to figure out what you need to have both sets already built to swap in and out.
Will get all of them. Glad I didn't buy the bastion exclusive set from the blizzstore nowWell the Overwatch sets "leaked" by Target.

The set includes pieces for both stories at the same time

Oooh, that's good to hear, given Maze couldn't have both simultaneously.
Edit: Heh, and Maze is the exact context in which the question is presented. Great minds think alike!
i shall get all the OW sets.
i'm guessing rein doesn't come with a shield? i'll have to moc up a couple for my brother and myself. i hope he and d va aren't too terrifyingly big relative to minifig scale....
we got the gibraltar payload vehicle and endpoint. guess i need to position a quinjet to serve as the hangar for the middle.....
gonna have to hunt through third-party accessory sites for better guns.

Definitely getting Dorado and Hanzo vs Genji. I really like the Pharah fig but not so much the rest of the set/characters there enough to pay for it though. Hopefully this does well enough that there will be more sets later too. Egypt with Pharah + Ana please and thank you :>
That's what bugs me about these sets at the moment. Overwatch is a FPS where you spend a lot of time staring at not your character but your character's weapon, and each one is incredibly distinctive. Part of the fun of Lego sets like these is seeing how things are interpreted, but as excited as I am these sets actually I can't help but be a little disappointed too.
Does Winston even have his tesla cannon? Why does McCree get stuck with the same revolver as any cowboy or policeman Lego? Mercy's staff is just a grapple hook on a stick?
yeah winston has a brickbuilt telsa gun in one of the other photos at the link.
Has anyone ever used those light kits that you see advertised on Facebook or Amazon? There is a company called Lightailing that has kits for a few sets. I'm curious if they are worth it and easy to use.
I bought two from them, they are pretty cheap on their Chinese store (like $10-20 each).
They look really nice installed (kind of easy to do, good printed instructions for a Chinese company). But... kind of cheap and the way the lights are wired does not make much sense always. It will be difficult to separated floors after installation (you really can't since wires go from floor to floor but if you leave a little bit of wire between then you can set the floors apart a little.
Honestly a lighted LEGO town looks amazing. But in the future I will by the materials and build the lights myself, keeping the wiring inside each floor.
Edited: there are different companies that make light kits and each one has a different solution, I just test this brand because it is cheaper so I could learn to do it myself.
oh neat i'd never thought about filling my modulars with LEDs before, i wonder what it looks li-MOTHER OF GOD THEY"RE BEAUTIFUL
well there is a new wishlist item omg
edit:wow the disney castle looks amazing lit up. i don't own that set tho.
Nice.
Here in the US LEGO totally bungled the release of these because of Toys R Us closing. They said they'd be releasing them at Barnes and Noble, but apparently on a few stores around the country got them.
I paid like $40 online to get the Harry Potter one.
I've hear rumor they are going to hit the official LEGO Stores. B&N didn't even get all four sets.
Cool! Maybe I can get the Marvel and Jurrasic Park ones now.
Need that amazing Goldblum minifig, haha.
Destiny's Bounty looks amazing with lights.....but man the cost is difficult to justify.
It is one of the most expansive kits but is only US$ 42.99 in their store with free shipping
Waste of money when you can BUY THE BESPIN SET INSTEAD!!!
modular buildings are cooler than star wars sets, just buy 3 modulars.
But the Death Star is cheaper!
It's on sale so it's the price of 2 modulars, not 3!
oh well then you can re-invest the savings in a modular anyway!
Do you have a link because I can only source them on ebay?
