Australian news:

Looks like we've finally got series 4 of the minifigures! I got a Mad Scientist and a Geisha couldn't feel any Hazmat Guys, though I really wanted one.

Well, I guess he's got the perfect expression for being such a lovely minifig.

Seriously, gently caress Greys. Though it ought to come with the kid legs, and maybe a window from which it can peer in at you while you sleep. (Locking it does nothing! They can abduct you through solid glass!)

They are annoying, but I like them because they aren't impossible to take apart once put together, like some part combinations. Handy for when you want to color theme something. They're not designed to support a lot of weight anyways, they're more for small moving parts or angled panels.

Captain Invictus posted:

Some of the really old ones I've found don't stick as well to newer blocks, I'm guessing they warp ever so slightly over decades. Are the ones you have old?

I have a pair of short light grey legs, so there must be. I think I got them from Bricklink, though, so no idea which figure they were from.

Yeah, it's available in more sets than you'd think. Bunches available for sale too.

"Jump ship" as in, Lego should buy the TNG license and make whopping huge Enterprises and tiny yellow Picards.

Should've held out on Batman, they're among the most overpriced legos on the planet right now and they're getting a new line next year.

Legolegolas. Although I'm thinking a cave troll will probably be a single piece rather than built.

It's hard to tell from the press release but I suspect the first wave would largely focus on the first Hobbit film and I can't really think of any iconic "big" locations from that. Misty Mountains/Goblins I guess, but it's fairly generic compared to Lonely Mountain/Battle of Five Armies (alternatively Battle of half a dozen minifigures).

Obviously all complete speculation, but speculation is fun. It also amused me how much the hardcore LOTR nerds who hate the films because they're not identical to the books would flip their poo poo if they ever saw a LEGO LOTR game.

Hah, the Lego Australia online store has some decent deals. Was going to buy the Pharos Quest Bi-Plane set for $27. Shipping was $30.

On an unrelated topic, any Ausgoons going to Brickvention?

MaliciousOnion posted:

Just a heads-up for any ausgoons: Series 6 is on shelves and Toys R Us has them for $3.99 until the 23rd.

I've realised that, between the sleepy guy's head and the doctor's syringe, this series lets you make an addict.

Impulse-bought the Superman and powered armor set the other day, and the package just arrived.

My wildly excited son described it to his mom "It has Super Man, and Wonder Woman, and (in the green giant robot suit) Martin Luther King!"


'We shall over come' would have been a lot easier with giant robot suits.

The shuttle looks pretty cool, but Emerald Night is both classy as gently caress and is a genuine 4-6-2 loco with unique wheels. Also it's based on a real steam train.

E: would definitely like to have another five or ten passenger cars, even though it wouldn't fit in my bookcase any more.

SynthOrange posted:

It's LEGO. Tack on enough extra parts for a space train.

Manchild King posted:

This is kind of weird to me. Are Lego intentionally trying to create "chase" figures? Im sure they realise the Roman Soldier will be highly sort after yet they only put 3 in a box. Yet low demand stuff like Skateboarder, Bandit and Mechanic are quite common. No one wants those lovely figs because they can already buy practiclly the same thing in existing sets.

My local Target finally put out series 6 either today or yesterday. As soon as I saw the two boxes I instantly realised I was too late. They were not packed neatly and some of the foil packaging they come in looked stretched and creased on some packs. Thats right, a bag fondling army builder beat me too the punch. I only wanted a single Roman soldier and a Genie. There were still a couple genies but in the 30 or so I checked not a single Roman.

If you take one or even two of a specific fig I don't mind. If you take all the figs of a certain type out of both boxes available you are probably being selfish. Or at least bring in a pen or marker and write "NO ROMANS" or whatever on the box.

I haven't seen many star trek mocs and this one is really impressive.

My god the Imperial Shuttle is an enormous kit. In the time it took to get through just the first book I had watched all of this past week's Daily Show and Colbert Report.

My bad news out of the London Trade fair is that Character Building (UK Lego knock-off, fairly well made but still NOT LEGO) has got a Ben 10 License. How the hell am I going to make sure my kid who is Ben 10 crazy keeps that seperate from his real Lego? How?

Finally found some Series 6 at my local TRU. There was only half of a heavily felt up box left but I found what I wanted. Grabbed a spare robot because why not.




Intergalactic Girl is too smart for the hug-bot's devious charms.
