So when should I head out to the Lego store for the new Batman minifigures? (Because that is the only place I feel comfortable feeling the bags. It's accepted behavior, and it's nice in that you can usually help out a kid or two, versus having to keep an eye out for employees and feeling like you're doing something wrong.)
Edit: Oh yeah, and got Assembly Square! Heck yeah! Also got a second of that VIP little Lego store diorama thing. Thinking I might cheaply modify it into one more full little store.

Is the GOTG Milano set going out of production already?
It says "Call to check product availability" on Shop.Lego, but the other GOTG sets still seem stocked.
I was hoping it would be one of the sets I get to get the giveaway set at the end of January, especially since I got a LEGO giftcard for Christmas.

We got my dad this for Xmas, found it for around $60 (in yen) at a used shop. Seems pretty cool !!
I dont have it, but the set looks fantastic. Set was designed by Jamie Berard (a favorite designer of many long time posters). Jamie has done many of the modulars sets.
This thread is notorious for enabling LEGO purchases. May a new year bring you a bigger backlog.
LEGO stores are pretty strict with street dates, but occasionally will release some stuff a little early. I'm guessing Jan. Just call the store. I've done that many times to see if they had something in stock or when they were expecting next shipment.
3: Star Wars The Last Jedi: Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter - Jangbricks had every right to be excited in his gushing review of this set, as the TIE Interceptor is a striking evolution of the TIE Fighter we all know and love.
It is actually a TIE Silencer (which could be considered an evolution of the TIE Interceptor)
Built the contraction Boba set yesterday, def the best they've done with the SW figures to date. Jetpack is a cool build and it does a good job of not looking anemic in the upper body (lower body still does tho). Will probably build the Egghead Mech tonight.
I've not heard about something like that in Lego.
There is a Lego ideas set submission of the house from the movie that is nearly at 10,000 supporters. There have been news articles about that.
Ah! Jealous you snagged that already. I'm normally really cold on the buildable figures but man that one looks great.
I'm not sure if it's allowed in this thread or not, but my wife got me the Super Star Destroyer
set for Christmas. I've been having a blast putting it together so far and it has really piqued my interest in LEGO.
I'd prefer to go legit going forward, but where is the best place to pickup out of print sets?

To put it nicely yea no Chinese knockoff talk.
But you have come to the right place to enable your Lego addiction! For out of print sets you can get lucky scanning garage sales or places like Craigslist. Places like Bricklink will have most of the OOP sets you may want but they will be priced more at aftermarket values.
Another consideration is re-releases from Lego themselves which has been happening lately. Outside the UCS sets for Star Wars most of the iconic vehicles from Star Wars will get sets on shelves again at some point as they go in cycles. With new movies those cycles just may take longer.
I'm trying to debate if building Destinys Bounty will help or aggravate this damn cold.
20% off on the Destiny's Bounty set. 5$ TRU markup but still not a bad discount. (Code YEAREND20)

Edit: Assembly Square too. ($10 markup...)

I figured that was the case. After reading reviews online and seeing the quality differences, I definitely think I want to try to go legit from now on. Oh my aching wallet.
Thanks for the suggestions!
That has to be what it was. I was explaining to her the Ideas thing, but she swore it was already a set.
Thank you.
Would anyone be interested in buying a ton of LEGO Dimensions stuff as well as loose LEGO + some random promo sets on the cheap? I am trying to figure out what to do with them all.
I got the Spider-Man set with Ghost Rider, and while the motorcycle is cool, I think a car (like Robbie Reyes) would be cooler. Has anyone built a MoC hot rod like that, or is there an official one that would fit the minifig Ghost Rider and his flaming hair?
There's the Detroit Steel set that has a car that might fit IIRC.
Oh, nice. I can definitely use the instructions as a starting point and try to make a black one with a roof.
You are correct, I meant TIE Silencer. Thanks for catching that.
A bunch of build a figures on sale at target, mostly from Rogue One. Jyn Erso for $9, hah.
edit: several sets are on sale, actually. I see the deals have been posted in several places already.

The Ideas Ship in the bottle - the bottle and stand look cleaner, the ship is not so ... lean, looks kind of thick and low

I can't wait until the final step in that booklet that just says "Round Flat Blue Stud x 100" and somehow shows dumping them all into that bottle.
It worked! First 'custom' build. It's nothing like an official set but the result still looks pretty nice. Don't mind the bus, I use it as a stand for now.
where can i get the part list and instructions? I'd love to build a few wipeout ships
I got the instructions from here: https://blog.de.playstation.com/201...s-der-wipeout-omega-collection-mit-lego-nach/

yup the original ship was far better but I really like the final bottle!
Yo guys, after a somewhat rough stretch in my personal life, i am checking in to see if there's anything noteworthy these days as far as Lego is concerned and i just happen upon
Jang's reviews of the new DC sets... HOLY SHIT! dat Lex Powermech revival!!! Seems like it's even better than the first one way back when... the figs are knocking it out of the park too.
Then i saw the Lobo set, another must have ugh!!! Then i saw the set with Killer Frost, Reverse Flash etc. man what has happened? We used to get maybe ONE great DC set a year recently and now this??

Fantastic, I'd forgotten about this one, but I voted for it and I was super happy when it got approved.The Ideas Ship in the bottle - the bottle and stand look cleaner, the ship is not so ... lean, looks kind of thick and low

Couple friends came over the other night and saw a box of Lego I had stashed in a closet. One of many. They started making fun of me for being an adult that still buys Lego. They are, of course, way too mature to buy any of that.
Tried to tell them how much prices inflate but they werent buying it. Just a full on group roast session on Fubar. Went to Bricklink and showed them the Wolverine/Deadpool helicopter set. They kinda stopped. Then showed them th e 2007 UCS Falcon. They shut up real quick. One of them joked they were going to start buying Lego just to hold and resell in a few years. The others were just awestruck silent. So that won them over.
That all said, they have no idea that I buy most sets to set up and model in another room they never go to but hey whatever. Progress is progress.

I want that ship in a bottle, great display piece.
I'm also really curious what the final Voltron design will look like.

The leaked promo pic from the Han Solo movie shows a redesigned Falcon and I immediately thought about the inevitable LEGO set that'll come out for it, haha.
Roller-coaster seems to be a Creator 3in1 set according to this catalog leak

That needs to be one of the build challenge sets this year! Also makes me sad we never got a sequel the legoland gameRoller-coaster seems to be a Creator 3in1 set according to this catalog leak
https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/7midno/new_lego_creators_set_leaked/
Oh damn that coaster! I was hoping for a full-on Expert size set but that still looks really really cool! Looks like it could be pushing 1,000 pieces anyway, and all 3 builds look interesting
Ninjago Movie Water Strider is the official value GOAT. My daughter just finished building it. Looks great, almost 500 pieces, works well as a toy, great size. Got it for $20. It's almost got an old-time Space vibe about it.
Conversely, I can confirm that The Ultimate Battle for Asgard is a steaming pile. 400 pieces for $50 (I didn't pay that for it but still paid like $36 so). The ship is a jumble and not sturdy enough for a kid to play with. The Lego translation somehow makes the ship boring, which should be impossible. Valkyrie looks off. Comes with a Bruce Banner and not Hulk, and Bruce Banner just looks like some dude. Hela is the only redeeming quality.

Following up on my own post, but I found a set that will work, 75874. It has what looks like a black Dodge Charger, which is what Robbie Reyes drives. Looking forward to putting it together.
Yeah, forgot how much time a good build can take, I spent a hour or so on the first 3 bags of destiny's bounty. Planning to finish it tomorrow, had to work on a paper today
