Borsche69 posted:to your point about the cameras being in the golden girl set - if you dont have them, then you have a set that's just old ladies having breakfast or lunch in the kitchen. the characters dont really translate to minifigs that well, its not like vader or gimli. i guess the thought process is someone will look at it and go 'ohh cameras... so its a tv show... tv show with old women? oh golden girls' They included them in the Central Perk set and I thought it was a really nice touch. No idea if they have done it since with the other sitcom sets, I don't think they have.

I hate ET on moral and spiritual grounds but the light brick as his fingertip is a cute idea. I like the Beetlejuice house but if it succeeds they should replace Miss Argentina and the hunter with the Deetzes + Otho.

Man gently caress him then. Maybe they can explicitly make it the Broadway cast instead.deoju posted:lol wut tell me more In the movie ET, the titular ET (the Extra-Terrestrial) has a light-up finger. They simulated this by putting a light brick on the model.

How could anyone hate ET, it spawned a bunch of knockoffs and yielded to us all a kid in a wheelchair getting flung off a cliff.

I'm interested in Barad-dur as a 40th present to myself - do you all anticipate this is going to be a popular set that sells out?

It might be scarce early on but it's a pretty big set with a big license so if you can wait a little while it'll be rotting on store shelves for most of the next few years.

Loop coaster was hundreds off. I assume they couldn't give them away but came close on LEGO dot com and insider promos

Fel Beast for the big ole tower is the only one I've seen. There might not be anything. Speaking of leaks, I haven't seen anything on a new fairground/amusement park ride. They had been doing them every other year. I guess there is still time to hear about one. Not sure what they would do, though. Maybe another spinning type thing.

It's been out for over a week. Oddly, the day it came out, there were two small GWP that sold out immediately. Polybags that will probably be on sale at Target soon. Very strange. Diner is still up for $100.

Throw out that ugly rocket and put a nice looking saturn v on that launchpad. (are the scales of the build even remotely close enough to do that?)

I'd imagine they're miserable builds. HootTheOwl posted:The stickers have kept me off it. Yeah, this is the first space set I'm waiting for a sale on, or for it to be retired early.

The rumor I saw is that it's going to be in the style of the sitcom sets and is a "detailed" set of the Simpsons living room from the couch gag, including swappable tiles for the TV to choose what they are watching. Also, supposedly, standard heads rather than molded ones.

The house is enough for me to fill that Simpson's itch, so a smaller set like that wouldn't interest me. So I'm pretty much the opposite of you.  EDIT: Maybe is the updated Maggie was better sized I'd consider it.
