I still have no AT-AT. Not even the micro fighter. :(
Still kicking myself for not getting the 2012 or 13 version, whichever it was.
Now just holding out for UCS version and stopping at that.

Looking at parts list of that old AT-AT, I might be able to pull it off with just random parts in the collective.
The only LEGO set I kept from my childhood is the Dark Side Developer Kit, which is the only AT-AT I've ever had.
At least it can walk! (even if it doesn't look as good as the dedicated AT-AT's)

How'd you manage to build it in the box? That's pretty impressive.
I tried it once with the little blue 3-1 train. Spent like 20 minutes on step 5 before I caved in and opened the bag.

That is my problem. The Expert Fair sets have an huge footprint. And I already missed the mixer. I have to let it go (argh it will be hard to resist the rollercoaster)
Oh man, CMF18 looks great. Gotta have it. And I'm also in for that retro House set.

Whoooooa. Getting so many of those. Some just for the collectability of them (the brick guys) and some for awesome parts. Also, I'll be getting a ton of those dragon guys, I loved that design.
The 60th anniversary sets are... meh. If they remade the 2x2 windows in the original mold though, they would have been amazing. I'll pick up the freebie on Februari 1st but there really should be something like Town Plan this year.

I ended up buying King's Mech and Tech Wizard Showdown, because I guess I need two lego mechs? They both look rad, and I think I got them for decent-ish prices.
I have like a million black figure plates even after covering all my roads with them. I welcome orange ones, they will be amazing for rooftiles.

Those black figure plates work really well for stairs
Hey, I'm not the only one buying Nexo Knights sets? Wow! Kidding aside, Tech Wizard is a great set. I'm about to pull the trigger on a King's Mech too.
Tech Wizard is such a hilarious combination of themes/fictions, I had to get it. Medieval Knight, Mecha, Wizard, Tech, and maybe Ghost?
order U-Wing on eBay, said factory sealed but there was type over the LEGO tape at the end. I opened it up and 5 bags, instructions, and stickers are there. All the bags seem sealed and I see all the minifigs...but feel like I need to build it immediately to make sure it is all there. I am worried and don't want to wait 5 months and see that it is missing something.
Anything else in that set that someone might try to take? or am I over-worrying cause it is eBay?

I'd check the seller feedback. If it's a high number I wouldn't worry. Or just build it. Heard it's a great set.
Hmmm maybe if i start planning halloween and christmas MOCs now I'll actually do them this year.
Silent Hill-ifying my modulars for halloween and Winter Village HIllside for next christmas, I'm thinking.
Or maybe I should pick something not seasonal and plan to assemble it by like june. I guess I'm only gonna get new regular castle/kingdom sets if i make some myself, and I definitely have some ideas...
the point is that I wanna move from hoarding things to getting creative.

Better safe than sorry in my experience.
Stock with LEGO stuff always seems so hard to call. Like I bought Saturn V pretty early on (ordered it early from B&N) but it was (and maybe still is) hard to find easily.
Giveaways I really want I always make sure to do it as soon as possible since there's rarely giveaways I find worth it. Last one I made sure to get early was the Revan minifig from KOTOR.
In the US , 9pm PST Saturday Night before the day in the promo which makes it 12 am (the day of the promo) EST I believe.
I just used my accumulated lego points from last year to get Assembly Square for 160 usd including tax and get the 60th anniversary promo.
feels good to use the points for something so significant, and not have to worry about forgetting I had them as I usually only buy direct from lego when special promos I am interested in are available.
Haha, I was at the gym and nearly forgot about this tonight, haha.
Ordered the Winter Train (little pricey for the piece count, but my fiance and I love using LEGO as Christmas decorations and this will be our first full holiday set, plus the set seems like it doesn't have too much longer until retirement), Women of NASA, and Wonder Woman Brickhead.
Still had a giftcard from Christmas that covered half of it so bad a bad little haul! But I'll be moving in the next month so I doubt I'll even take them out of the delivery box until March at the earliest.

I know complaining about Lego's online store is a common topic, but MAN their website is so bad it always baffles me.
Trying to place a big order right now to get the 60 years freebie, and TWICE now I've gotten most of the way through ordering only for it to kick me back to the main page with the message "Sorry your checkout time expired, but you can go back to your bag and checkout again! :)"
I'm not pausing or anything in the process of all this, it's so annoying. Especially when you're putting all your sensitive info in, cashing in points, etc. This better not order me 3 of everything.

It really is one of the worst sites I frequently visit.
I can't count how many times I've wanted to just browse through sets by theme, I go to change theme, and it just doesn't load the next theme. I have to refresh probably every other time I do that.

Okay, the third time was in fact the charm.
60 years freebie is mine, along with Assembly Square, finally! I had $45 in VIP points to cash in, so that was nice too.

I'm getting Ahch-To and the bottle for the promo, but I need slightly above $10 more to qualify. I'm sort of looking for a few more sets but basically just for a part or two, and it feels like a huge waste. Then again it's also a waste to buy something I don't actually want just because it takes me right over the limit.
Maybe shouldn't have impulse bought the Mulan and Lobo sets recently :D

If you return the original order, terms state you'd have to return the gift.
I imagine people are panicking over nothing, really
Bought the diner (had $40 in points) to get the anniversary promo. I was thinking that I should have wait to get the free flower together, but I don't want to miss the anniversary set if it is sold out. I may place another order to get the flower. The anniversary set limit is just one per household? I can place it again in the basket but I am not sure if the second order will go through.
Got Parisian restaurant to get the promo. Had 40$ in points as well.
Used ebates again to earn an additional 2.5% cash back. If you guys don't use it, you should. Pm me if u want to help a brother out with referral. Or you can sign up by yourself.

The system placed the promo in your basket as soon as you place an item over $125. I guess it won't remove the item if you use points after that step. The text only says that you have to spend $125 before shipping and taxes.
