It's one of the cooler robot animal/dinosaur designs from the game Horizon Zero Dawn.

Thanks. Don't know how I missed that.
Scored a Saturn V with double VIP as well! Sucks that I missed out n that nutcracker though, hopefully there are still some out there. Now it is just waiting for the MF, but looks unlikely that any will show up before 2018. No black VIP card for me :(
BTW, anyone recommend a good batgirl to pair with the '66 batcave? TOTALLY sucks they left her out of that set. I'm thinking the small Lego Batman movie set with Batgirl, Robin, and Catwoman (70902) is about the best I'll get. Any other options?

Aside from skin color, also the gloves and boots are in the wrong colors on the LBM Batgirl but if you can swap those it will be the closest you can get, since there is not a large ammount of batgirls.

Now I want it, but the prices are insane.

What's this I'm hearing about yet another AT-ST(First Order this time apparently)? Do LEGO really want us to build our own AT-Family?
First pics of the Diner being built

Looks cool. I really like the skylight on the roof. Second floor looks to be the most boring of the bunch though.
Just finished Brick Bank, really incredible experience. Between that and Palace Cinema the Bank is miles ahead. However I don't have anymore room for Lego now so that is it for a while.
You really, really should pick up Parisian Restaurant before it's gone. It's funny, because Palace Cinema and Brick Bank are the two weakest modulars of recent years. Parisian Restaurant, Assembly Square and Detective's Office are much better.
Speaking of no room for Lego. I spent all day yesterday breaking down sets I have not had time to build.
Basically broke down boxes, put all that would fit inside one of the bigger sets empty box.
Took each lego set , threw the bags and instructions faces toward the front in ziplock bags.
I was shocked I even go the Ultimate Spiderman Web Bridge in one (2.5 gallon).
I then took those bags and put them in storage containers.
I ended up with one container full of speed champions, the others mostly city and some super hero.
I think I easily broke down around 40 sets.
I still have quite a few bigger sets I can break down to save room.
How does everyone else manage storing sets they haven't built yet or sets they break down after building?

I will be monitoring the remaining modulars so I don't miss them, however since I got back into Lego this summer I kind of splurged on a lot of sets. Me and my girlfriend agreed upon me taking a hiatus with buying sets so I have to respect that since she is allowing me to build a city display.
But yeah I'm looking forward to building the other modulars when the time comes, Detective's Office looks like the coolest one.
How exactly is Brick Bank weaker than Detective Office? I'm curious...
On display, building techniques, something else?
(Edit: I've yet to build BB, I've bought two to make bank a proper 32x32 and the washing shop a 16x32 but I'm not sure how I'll manage to do this properly)

I only have Brick Bank and Palace Cinema so I cannot really say, but Brick Bank was really impressive. Looks great, lots of small detail and fun builds plus some really clever play functions.
detective's office is a funner build imo, as it has more suprises on the way. Brick bank is great, but it is a bit of a dull building. I really love DO's look, especially the amazing interiors of the cafe and office. It has also a really fun 'story' going on.
Parisian Restaurant is the GOAT though. Pure modular perfection in building techniques and overall look

Speaking of Modulars I got both the Detective's Office and Parisian Restaurant yesterday (One was a gift from my very soon to be wife, the other I bought myself)
Can't wait to get building them over Christmas, as long as I've finished the Kwik-E-Mart by then!
Of course having all of these to do (And loads more) hasn't stopped me eyeing up the Assembly Sqaure....

Still on the fence about Detective's Office. Have Fire Brigade and Parisian Restaurant. Now that the Diner looks this good, I might skip Detective's Office. And there's Ninjago City too... And Assembly Square...
On the other hand, I am about to make a foolish eBay purchase for my birthday next week. Auction ends in 2 hrs, have my fingers crossed.

Detectives Office is incredible and I wouldn't skip over it...
That's awesome! I forgot all about the 40th anniversary of Technic. Mostly because the 2017 sets were so "meh", I didn't buy a single one. 2018 looks great though.
First floor build looks phenomenal. Second floor is a good idea, but looks to be a really boring build. Not enough to discourage a purchase though.
I'm building the Brick Bank now (finally caught up on backlog, picked it up on the amazon prime glitch back in July for $60 ish). Almost done with first floor. As of now, I'd say it's a good build and I wouldn't put it down at all. I think I prefer DO, but that's mostly because of the contents of the stores/areas inside compared to the Brick Bank.
Built the winter village station and incorporated it into my Christmas village over the weekend.
It's much better looking in person than on the box and it looks great with the train.
Looks great! I do wish the train station had a bit more interior or structure to it, but for the price I can't complain too much and it adds some good character to the landscape.
I put up my Winter Village stuff last weekend, maybe I'll get around to putting up pics this week.

Buy Detective's office. That's not a recommendation, it's a command. Diner isn't even out yet, it'll be around for years. Do it.
Buy or rent a bigger place. :)
Money and space are the two biggest limiting factors. Running out of either limits one's LEGO buying habits.
If those are unbuilt sets you would like to build, what you did is the most one can do to save space.
Sets I take apart go into my brick collective. "Resistance if futile"
I have loose sorted bricks in plastic drawers and containers.
and I have new bricks that I have a lot of that I haven't used which get "compacted" as much as possible without making it too hard to "uncompact". Easier if I show you...

Wonderful setup. Way to enable too!
If LEGO continues to put out more Winter Village sets and your village grows, I think you should make a 4x or bigger version of the Toy Shop Christmas tree and put it in the center.
EDIT:
For those that are not familiar with the Winter Village sets Brickset has them listed with images and info here:

Have no interest personally in Mighty Micros, but I'd love the cassette tape that comes with the Guardians of the Galaxy one.
Again, I'm surprised these pics haven't been mentioned here before.

Don't get me wrong. Brick Bank is, like all Modulars, an amazing set, and it has some very neat stuff (the safe opening mechanism, the chandelier, ...) But I prefer the style and look of most of the other modulars I own more. The building itself is a bit boring looking imo, and I prefer the interiours of Assembly Square, DO and PR a lot above the interiour of the bank.
Still, I would recommend Brick Bank to anywone who is on the fence of getting it.
Just to offer a slightly different opinion, I actually really like Brick Bank. I'd rank it as my second favourite Modular (after Assembly Square).
Still waiting. Would have really gotten my goat if they put it back in stock right after double VIP ended.

I really like brick bank as well. I'm not a big fan of the washing machine side, but the bank side looks great.
I have grand emporium onwards, and refuse to pay over the odds for older sets. Still on the fence about the diner, but will probably get it on double VIP

Wife and I scored SD Comic Con Friday and Saturday passes. Hopefully we'll be able to get some exclusives.
Anyone else going?

Any word on what the "fantastic" set on sale in the UK S@H tomorrow will be? It's a three-day only sale on one single set, so I'm assuming it's something a) fairly major and b) it wasn't on sale on Black Friday.
Was thinking maybe Disney castle? Wonder if there's been any confirmation anywhere, or other likely contenders.

You know what, I haven't messed with technic much and would love a challenging build next year so I think I'll save up for one(especially since the price ratio tends to be affordable) so I'd love recommendations
Also LEGO tubs are at my moms house now. I think I'll use my star destroyer for the base prices I need along with the bwing for the yt-2400... not till later this week thoug

The Mercedes Benz Arocs is probably by far the best Technic set as far as price to quality goes. The Porsche is great but significantly more expensive, the Bucket-Wheel Excavator is massive but a bit weird. The Arocs looks amazing when it's done, is huge, and is (relatively) inexpensive as far as top-tier sets go.
There's some good Technic sets on the horizon though.
I was thinking on the horizon so I can save up. Hoping to do some for fun creative builds this week though using my xwing ships as refs
If you plan to go after AROCS then hurry up, it is already retired in official shop in Europe, available only in smaller ones. The other regions will follow.
Porsche is nice and quite complex, but only in the gearbox part where it is quite unique (for a factory set, so far) and demanding on not making mistake (or discovering it before you put another 2000 pieces). But it is kind of too big and bulky to play/show and the only feature - the gearbox - will not show itself much after building it.
Bucket Wheel Excavator is huge, and has a lot, a lot of parts for good price. Being big and using one motor with transmission, it has some complexity (also bad build = lot of friction, but unlike Porsche you see it, you fix it). And it can be easy to modify in future for full independent remote control. But it is quite specific.
I'd also suggest to look at 42054 CLAAS Xerion, it is too on the way out, but there are some nice functions like steering, those impressive wheels and the attachment points make it fun to create new mechanisms to use.

Yeah, this is a lovely looking set as well. Just that (in the UK at least) the price isn't that different to what the Arocs can be found for and the big 'ol truck is just more fun!
Got the dragons forge today, can't wait! I feel like the set was slept on by AFOLs, the forge itself is gorgeous. I'd say the design is on par with the stuff from the temple of airjitzu.
Santa and Mrs. Claus look great IMO, and the Bee is pretty cute, but the others I'm a little iffy on.
Definitely better than the recent ones (like Phasma and Aquaman), but I do still love the Beauty and the Beast ones, and chunky armed Hulk is my favorite superhero one so far.
