Fantastic thread title.

Just bought Atlantis Exploration HQ. I'm a sucker for all that trans-green.

Any Legoons that know Japanese?

I see that it says July, but does it say when in July? Or where they will be? I went to the ClickBrick store today and they knew zero English.

It just says they'll be in those capsule vending machines countrywide the second third of the month, which means they're probably already on sale or will be by the twentieth.

Thanks a ton!

Agreed, the only SW set worth $100 would be Fett's Vette :c00l:

Its actually pretty rare to see a forklift inside a modern airplane, let alone a future spaceship. Maybe make a Tunner loader? It has a rollerized platform so you can shove around cargo pallets and lock it into place on the floor of your ship.

Every time I build a creator set I don't want to tear it down. I can't recommend these sets enough. Minifig scale is good in its own right, but I just prefer bigger builds.

I just saw the flagship Harry Potter set and I must say I am afraid of what that thing is going to cost. 1290 piece, 10 minifig, licensed set. I have no illusions of getting it anyway. I'm hoping people buy the Harry Potter sets like crazy and just stock their bricklink stores with cool colors :3:

Here's an idea on what people think is reasonable for sets. This doesn't mean you will get this much, but gives you an idea of worth.

I resisted the urge to buy the Toy Shop last year, and by the time I got non-buyer's remorse it was too late. Thanks for posting that, I have a Toy Shop and a Bakery on the way.

I plan on using them as non-denominational end of December holiday decorations.

As far as I know the fact you get extras is because QA weighing machines aren't perfectly accurate at such small tolerances so just throwing in extras is easier. Plus who minds getting extra poo poo?

Just do it for a kid in your family. Gift them most the sets and keep a couple AFOL sets and not feel guilty if you win :v:

To me "give" is a masculine verb. The act of giving toys seems like it should be happier, thus gift, gifting, gifted, etc.

I paid a 15 dollar premium to not hunt them. Collectible minifigs are gay. Hopefully the supply increases enough to effectively kill the secondary market.

To be fair Pixar movies are great kid movies for adults. :colbert:

edit: I like your river house thingy, especially the basement portion. You should go look at all the lego building instructions for the modular houses. They have neat techniques you can adapt for yourself.

I think the world racer line is the only overpriced non-licensed thing. But maybe that is just because the theme isn't very fun to me. It tries to be Mad Max, but fails in my eyes.

I find the worst part is being able to afford too much. Any AFOL sets that come out are auto-buy. Luckily I have no interest in Star Wars or I would be in the poor house for sure.

What are the chances of doing a Legoon LEGO parts draft? I just learned about this and it seems fun. We could wait for a good deal to come along on a set with worthwhile pieces since shipping will eat into our budget.

Thoughts?
