Scipiotik: Mar 2, 2004; "I would have won the race but for that."

I really need to get a better storage system for my bricks. Currently they are inhabiting containers with a volume of ~300 gallons, completely unsorted. I've come up with the idea of building a table with drawers under it in which to store the pieces, now I just need to put my plan into action.

Wow, that's loving massive. Not a bad price, either, considering the size and piece count of the drat thing, even if there's a lot of smaller parts and regular bricks.

I would have been all about that as a kid. Also having the Saturn V on their shop but not being able to pre-order it is the worst tease ever.

Well, I guess the anticipation will only make it better, no stores around have it in stock and even though I pressed submit on an order last night it didn't go through. OH WELL. It will be the centerpiece of the new lego room in my new house.

I feel like the only goon that doesn't want the Saturn 5. It looks nice, it is an excellent price/piece, but I just don't really have any urge to get it.

I guess I would rather pick up something more visually interesting. I already have too many grey star wars ships on display.

The pictures don't do it justice. I've finished the first stage and the internals for the second. The amount of small details and just the overwhelming size at half finished makes it really impressive in person.

Destiny's Bounty is one of the best looking sets they have ever made. It looks like a piece of art almost. Like an actual junk model that you would display on the shelf. But it is lego. Not the greatest build but man does it look sweet when it is done.

Agreed. It's got some tedious build in it but when it's all put together it's beautiful. And for a kid it would be very fun to play with.

I want the Ninjago city so badly, but when I told my wife the cost she laughed at me. I need to put up shelves anyway before I could even start to have enough space to display it. So no rush.

Oh yeah. Easy fix for sure. I just don't really care for how it looks officially.

So, I have almost pulled the trigger on the Snowspeeder like 10 times now and figured I might grab it today so I can stop thinking about it haha. How do those of you that bought it feel about it? Does it fell worth $200 that price/part ratio is kind of bad. But Snowspeeder, probably my favorite SW ship next to the X-wing, which I already have so I can die happy with both.

There's a sale with double vip points coming up on the 1st I think. So maybe wait?

Lego just teased the MF again and the box has freakin wheels on it because it's too big to fit in the giant yellow store bags.

Ooh, they're retiring the Palace Cinema soon, so get that if you haven't.

What's weird is that when they announced it immediately sold out on Lego.com, but says it'll accept backorders. So guessing it is still in production? I've been away from lego for a long time. Do the fancy creator buildings ever get discounted?

This Boat House Diner and Lighthouse, both of which are from the Fishing Shop guy, have reached 10,000 on Ideas. I doubt they'll get made but they're both really good.

If the fishing store sells well they should make them. They'd be negligent not to. They are both nice, but I personally think they all look a little too similar. A more drastic selection of colors might be beneficial.

Don't sell if you have room to store them. I would go through phases of not using them for years but I did eventually come back.

So did I misread or is Palace Cinema going to be discounted on Friday @ Lego online, too?

That's the thing some people have said. I didn't get the mailing they did. Brick bank is going on sale for 20% off in almost every other country, so I'm hoping both go on sale.

I'd be happy if it hit the 30% off that it did on Amazon, but that may be wishful thinking.

It probably won't, but you will at least get some VIP points to bring it closer in line to the 30% off.

Oh hey, there's a database entry for it, at least.

That would seem to confirm the leak, yeah?

Brickset is fan based and they're just using info from the leak with a placeholder name. Some other internet person is claiming the announcement is next monday. Seems likely, but definitely not certain. Also someone found the speed champions sets, couple ford, couple ferrari, couple porsche. Pretty boring.

I wasn't surprised when he didn't understand why the women of NASA set was a good thing. But imagine he doesn't get out much. I know I wouldn't if I had that collection.

Space Shuttle Saturn V scale

And the gantry for the Saturn V as well.

I don't think these have a chance. Even though I'd be very very tempted to get them both.

Probably not, they've done so many shuttles. Gantry is cool. I'd probably get a second sat v if they do release it and display them both ways.

Dang, I figured they would have gone for that quest builder one. The Jeep would have been cool too. As for the next one, I agree with others that there is really nothing in there. Another Space Shuttle when they've already done 4 or 5 over the years. That Saturn V launch tower will never get made. Not only is it much larger than the Saturn V and require more pieces, and cost more, it is only interesting if you already have the Saturn V. Hopefully they will just say "we can't do any of these, so we will look into our missed favorites from previous cycles."

I'm really glad they are working with the people who did the Surf Rescue. That's what I would want out of Lego Ideas. Find people who get Lego and get them to help with the themes. Like they should just hire that guy that keeps doing medieval buildings and just do a series of his things instead of him keep submitting his ideas that will never get chosen.

I liked quest builder, it'd be fun for my D&D group. But I can also easily do it myself. That guy has also submitted a bunch of variations on it.

Wasn't there a site I could plug in a part and see what sets I could get it in? I am blanking on it.

I need, like, one more white 1x8 brick and I have placed (in stages) about 10 BL orders to modify my train. Now I just need one piece and I don't want to make a silly BL order for it...

Bricklink does that on the parts page.
