TheLazyChicken Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks! That's what I was thinking, too. I'll give it a few days and then make a decision, but I'm leaning toward the Wargs. No problem! Hey guys, I am having a hard time deciding on whether I should get the Minecraft Micro World Nether and Village... Are they worth it? Thanks! I don't have the sets but they are good parts packs if you want some 1x1 tiles. I am also planning on getting them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transparency for Effect Posted April 29, 2014 I might like the idea of 60026, and I'm wondering if 31012 is good on the interiors. On a side note, would anyone recommend the old Studio monster sets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckBricks Posted May 26, 2014 Hello everyone. I am looking for your advice on what is the best Lego set as my friend has just offered to front the cost of any single LEGO set I want for my birthday. This includes retired sets on Bricklink. That being said, I am looking for your advice on what to get... Any help? It is so hard to decide! Thanks, Legozebra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLazyChicken Posted May 27, 2014 Well, I would say the Haunted House, the Atlantis sets, or the monorail, of course this is my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckBricks Posted May 27, 2014 Well, I would say the Haunted House, the Atlantis sets, or the monorail, of course this is my opinion. I have the Haunted House and every Atlantis set... But which monorail do you speak of? I actually only have one (the Futuron one) so any suggestions would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JGW3000 Posted May 27, 2014 If you really like your friend, a modest set. Otherwise, Millenium Falcon new/sealed all the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckBricks Posted May 28, 2014 If you really like your friend, a modest set. Otherwise, Millenium Falcon new/sealed all the way! I was tempted to say the UCS Millenium Falcon, but I feel that it would be pushing the boundary of our friendship (He, too is a LEGO enthusiast, and I feel that I would have to repay him with something else...) I am now deciding between the original Blacktron Message Intercept Base of the Classic Space ship (you know, the really iconic one) Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calabar Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) It would be better if you stated a budget range! If you want an huge set that you can find with a "human" price yet, you could propose the 10188 Death Star. If you prefer an old set, the suggested futuron 6990 Monorail is surely a great choice, together with the blacktron 6987 Message Intercept (less valuable, anyway) base or, if you prefer vintage, an old classic space or castle set, such as 6971, 375/6075, etc... There are many recent castle sets that are very good too, for example the 10193 market village, the 10223 Kingdoms Joust. I like the 7029 very much, too. Moving to pirate there, the Imperial Flagship 10210 is a fantastic set. Or modular buildings. Returning on licensed sets, the latest Harry Potter Hogwarts castle is a great piece (but I fear that now you can find it very overpriced), the 10236 Ewok Village, the 10237 Tower of Orthanc. But, in the end, the choice depends on your taste. Edited May 28, 2014 by Calabar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VintageLegoEra Posted May 29, 2014 There are many factors which determine what to buy, and here they are: 1- Budget 2- Interest 3- passion 4- memories 5- collection series. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8BrickMario Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I'm having a $40 set dilemma. Should I buy Scorm's Scorpion Stinger, Spinlyn's Cavern, or Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown? What are the greatest merits of each? I'm looking to fill out my Chima and UA collections, and these are the ones I like most from each theme right now. Edited June 5, 2014 by 8BrickMario Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpiox Posted June 5, 2014 76004: Spider-Man Spider-Cycle Chase 76015: Doc Ock Truck Heist 76006: Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle All three are available for the same price, but which one would you folks recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gremer Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Amazon currently has Batwing Battle over Gotham City for $40. Should I pick it up, or get Arctic Batman vs Mr. Freeze? Edit: Nevermind, it's been sold Edited June 7, 2014 by Gremer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lancethecat Posted July 8, 2014 76004: Spider-Man Spider-Cycle Chase 76015: Doc Ock Truck Heist 76006: Iron Man Extremis Sea Port Battle All three are available for the same price, but which one would you folks recommend? I have heard awesome things about the Spider-Cycle Chase set. Lots of people have called it their favorite set in the entire Spiderman line. Plus, it was released before the other two sets, so it will probably be retiring the soonest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Im a brickmaster. Posted July 12, 2014 I would like to purchase a large set, somthing I haven't done in awhile. I'm thinking about Hurricane heist, ultra agents hq, Jabbas sail barge or Arkham Asylum? I know that's pretty broad but it's my interests. Help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwulfe Posted July 12, 2014 Would be an easy choice for me. Arkham Asylum is a milestone in Lego design. Grap it before its gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted July 12, 2014 I would like to purchase a large set, somthing I haven't done in awhile. I'm thinking about Hurricane heist, ultra agents hq, Jabbas sail barge or Arkham Asylum? I know that's pretty broad but it's my interests. Help!! Of those I would say Ultra Agents HQ and by far Arkham Asylum are the better and far more interesting builds. Jabba's Sail barge is some utterly fantastic figures melded to a meh build that doesn't feel anywhere near as satisfying as the original. Hurricane Heist is a strange set. I have it sitting on my desk now. It's oddly fascinating, yet I can't quite decide if I actually like it? It's a very odd set. Very Swooshable, yet really don't know what it is or is supposed to be. Like one of those weird old Jack Kirby comic super vehicles that make no sense whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollermonkey Posted July 12, 2014 Now, why couldn't I find this topic the other day? I was going to ask if I should get 8043 for $360 delivered, or Crawler and Sandcrawler for RRP and risk 8043 being even more expensive when I get another opportunity?

iamwhoiam Posted July 13, 2014 I have heard awesome things about the Spider-Cycle Chase set. Lots of people have called it their favorite set in the entire Spiderman line. Plus, it was released before the other two sets, so it will probably be retiring the soonest. It all really depends on the figures you want. Nick Fury, War Machine or Doc Ock. (Plus Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc...) Being an Iron Man fan I would get the Extremis Sea port battle but if not I would highly recommend the Spider Cycle Chase. Hope I helped!

TheLegoExperience Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Alright, which Super Heroes set should I get first (As I'm purchasing all 3 anyway): 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue 76018 Hulk Lab Smash or 76022 X-Men vs. Sentinel? Edited July 13, 2014 by TheLegoExperience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-Nut Posted July 13, 2014 I'd say it's a toss up between 76018 and 76022. Both are great sets, and it really depends on if you're more interested in X-Men or Avengers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gremer Posted July 13, 2014 This is more of a question on whether I should get a set: I'm 50/50 split on whether or not I should get Dol Guldur Battle. On one hand the minifigs are fantastic, but Dol Guldur itself seems to be nothing more than a glorified wall. What are your opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Alright, which Super Heroes set should I get first (As I'm purchasing all 3 anyway): 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue 76018 Hulk Lab Smash or 76022 X-Men vs. Sentinel? If you want a playset, get the Lab. If you want something that looks good, get the Blackbird. Both sets have terrific figures, though, so it's a tossup. Several have said that the X-men set isn't quite worth the price compared to other sets of the same price. Although, you could always make a random choice since you intend to get them all.

I have the set, and even though it's not the best set, it's good. And if you don't like it, it's an excellent parts pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
