Grabbed a Burns at Walmart today. Had to go through 9/10ths of the box to get to it, though.
The same Walmart also had the 70725 MechDragon on clearance for $60. So I grabbed two.

If you're willing to sell, I would like to purchase Mr. Burns and a Homer from you. My only extra Simpsons fig is one Bart, but I have a few minifigs from older series for trade.

I bought the big Millennium Falcon for May 4th. It's great, with one exception; the mandible are way too short and stubby. Are there any how-to/mods out there that look good and don't require me to spend $50 on bricklink for parts?

Got the droid gunship as part of my May the 4th haul. Goddamn is this a solid set. The overall design is great, it's got some awesome underlying construction going on, the play features are great, and it contains 6013082, a piece that 12 year old me would have almost literally killed for. And the underside is designed in such a way that it's a snap to make a display stand for it.

Ooh June. I was thinking August for some reason. I hope these are easier to get than the last few cuusoo sets, although I plan on going to the store day of to try and snag one. The figs look amazing.

June 1 is going to be awesome. Bennys Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship and Ecto-1 on the same day. Going to have to call my Lego store early to check availability as they broke street date on the Delorean and would like to pick them up in store.

Ecto-1 is a day of release purchase, Benny's SPACESHIP! is pause for thought.

Any news on the next wave of minifigs? I couldn't give two hoots about the Simpsons. I'd love a wave of Marvel characters they can't justify sets for. Winter Soldier, Coulson, Falcon, etc.

I think it was me asking for one a few months ago, got it and took the kids back in March. definitely worth getting to save the cash at the gate if anyone else is planning on going.

I would LOVE to have a old school Green Goblin w/glider. Crap they could do it now. Use the elf head piece, Indiana jones satchel, pumpkin head for bomb. Just need the right colors. If they did a couple series or one with variants from the marvel game, I would buy the poo poo out if them. Hobgoblin, same as green goblin, different print but with a hood over the head. Boom, Lego Ideas here I come.

What planet is this again?-- OH SHIT
Lego won't be able to do any DC or Marvel blind-bags (because action figure licenses), but there is a plethora of smaller sets they could do-- look at that Spiderman vs. Electro set. It's overpriced for sure, but the combination of cheap build and unique figures would be a great way to put more characters out. They could easily do a Spiderman vs Green Goblin w/ glider set and so on for any number of characters.

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun.


I'd like a retro Lego minifigure line. Have a classic spaceman reissue, the old pirate captain, a generic knight from some Castle line, maybe toss in Johnny Thunder or something... :allears:

As a collectible minifigure blind-pack series, that is. I know about the minifigure sets.

You can get it online if you're quick. Otherwise they will be all sold out to ebay-resellers within 15 minutes.

I highly doubt they will ever do a Marvel or such minifigure line. Those minifigures sell the whole bigger sets, and just selling the minifigures would invalidate that. Simpsons was most likely a fluke because there is only one larger set to sell (the house).

I'm pretty sure they literally can't do a line of just Marvel/DC minifigures because they don't hold the license to produce action figures and selling just the characters would fall under that category.

It's the same deal with Star Wars.

What about say a line of polybag sets, like the Thor one? Have like a small diorama set with it. Wouldn't the darth revan and like the sdcc ones fall under the same licensing thing or because they are limited exclusive runs its different?

I was at the Columbus store and they didn't have either of those :( but they did have black travis bricks and light grey 1x1 round tiles. I got way too many of both.

I imagine creating a large degree of exclusivity circumvents that, like with the SDCC giveaway DC ones but I'm largely unsure about this.

No such thing as too many 1x1 pieces. Here's a small PAB container filled with 1x1 round, tiles, trans squares and cheese slopes. That is one thing my PAB needs is either blue or light blay 1x1 plate squares. I'm always out of solid color plate squares, but have tons of other variations on the 1x1 plate.

Fred Meyer/Kroger is having a 40% off Star Wars sale that didn't apply to Legos, however they hung the sign right over the Lego section, so the clerk said he'd honor it. Grabbed a bunch of those new mini X-Wings at $6 each.

It's just described as a "4x4 crawler". I don't think it's based on anything in particular

If there's one thing I've learned in the course of this build I'm doing, it's that if you're trying to duplicate an existing ship, don't try to get everything absolutely exactly right. Down that path lies madness. :byodood:

Does anyone have some spare minifig series sheet inserts for series 5, 6, and 8? Just need one of each. Apparently I didn't keep any from the time of purchase or my kids took care of them for me. Preferably with no marks or anything. Would be happy to pay for postage. PM me if you can help out, thanks!
