    2017 City Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    erm..... isn't that the correct way to mount a launcher (with scope) so the wider part of the lens is facing the enemy? that's always been a rocket launcher in my eyes.... turning it the other way (to me) makes it a mounted machine gun and the "scope" could be the ammo feed
  2. I doubt it Lionbear8, it's unlikely to be a high earner, as the market is quite niche - many kids today haven't seen the 66 series, and although children won't "care" what the figures look like etc, to be a "66" series set, adults would expect the figures to have the same attention to detail that they have used on the Batcave figures it may be viewed by Lego as too much effort, for little guarantee of return in the form of sales etc

    how will these power blast things work, do we think they're going to act as a spring from the hands, in which case is over-use going to ruin minifig hands (in the same way people complained about the super jumpers?)

    2017 City Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    does anyone know or understand what the yellow crystal inside the pizza van is supposed to represent? at first I thought it was supposed to be a doner kebab, but now I have absolutely no idea what it could be for, unless he's rich enough to be showing off that he has random gold bars knocking about in his van (as you do....!)
  5. dude, it's Lego.... there's about a hundred ways to connect them using various methods, like Technic pins or additional struts underneath etc

    10255 Assembly Square

    totally agree, the only "connection" is the little alleyway between the buildings where the doors seem to be, I'm sure as hell gonna try it in that way

    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    I'm confused to why people think the next modular may be a hospital - if it's called Assembly Square (assuming that is the title of the modular) then what would that phrase have to do with a hospital? to me, an Assembly Square sounds like the kind of central area of a town, which could work as the centre of a modular display, but the name sounds like a place where people assemble, like a park of some kind.... but if it's a park or a large fountain in a town square (with seating, and maybe a hotdog stand?) then how is that in keeping with the large modular buildings? perhaps Assembly Square is something else for the City theme, and not the next modular title? maybe the next modular building is larger than previous ones, perhaps with 2 baseplates, maybe a full "32x32" and a half "16x32" plate, so it offers a smaller section which can slot inbetween two other modulars, or combined with the larger building?

    what sets are these??? I haven't seen any "mini-modular style" sets since the 10230 set

    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    I've got two Pet Shops as I got one on half-price offer from a shop closing down near me, I wanted it purely for a second apartment building, but really really want another.... I've also got the cinema, but haven't built it yet as I need to wait until I have redecorated in order to put the new shelves up to fit all this stuff! (my wife will kill me when she realises the extent of my Lego display!)

    Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    you can do this already - just build the model in the mirror image of the plans :) I know some people did that with the Brick Bank so it's the "left" side of their displays, as the cinema was their right-hand corner display

    wouldn't the bigfig villain make more "sense" if it was Iron Monger rather than Detroit Steel?

    then I guess you've got a long drive ahead of you.... or just buy it online, and have it delivered to your home (simples!) :)

    Marvel Superheroes 2016 Rumors And Discussion

    I've just bought the Doc Ock set for £32.50 from Amazon.... I've got about £35's worth of VIP points that I'm now saving for next year's modular (at this rate...!)

    DC Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    the absolute best possible outcome here would be something similar to the Haunted House (10228) but given that there are no vehicles in that set, I'd expect any type of Wayne Manor (if they ever did create one) to be less of a full structure, and more like a facade and various levels behind it, so they could include a vehicle or two also however...... I seriously doubt we'd ever get a full Manor building, otherwise people would be clamouring for an X-Mansion as well!

    DC Superheroes 2016 - Rumors and Discussion

    I don't get all this talk about store exclusive sets - it's all available via Shop@Home anyway, so why not just buy it directly from Lego rather trying to find a store also stocking it?
