Welcome on the forums ;)

Do you even LEGO? Seriously, there's too many. O.O are those for resell or something? xD"

TRU simply needs to give VIP points too, since they have good promotions sometimes too. Or they could add a PAB wall. I don't know for you but me that's the main reasons I'll go to the Lego store. Maybe some rare sets that TRU won't have. Else TRU will still be better for promotions, I think. I don't know if the Lego Store offers any discount like BOGO 50% and the like.

Maybe you simply didn't notice. My lover didn't until I show it. Some colors are easier to spot (YELLOW!!!!) but I've seen this problem with bluish light gray 1x1 round / square plates and pearl gold ones. Trans-light blue are easy to spot too, it's kinda blurry. Many 1x1 round brick trans light-blue have those. I don't know about the spread of it, but when you take a closer look, you can find some more but that's the few ones I've see. Curiously, I have yet to see a technic part with this kind of problem. All those issues were in Chima sets before the Outlands wave.

Welcome on the forum! Nice themes, the LEGO Movie sets are nice, I bought some only for the fun of it and the good parts :P That sea cow is awesome too ^^! Signatures settings are here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=signature Or you click your name in the top right, then "My setting" then Signature. ;)

Why's that? I mean, it's not like they can adjust the model to fit the price. The eagle for exemple has 6 wings. And the more I look at those Speedorz, the less I'm interested in them. The minifigures are nice as always but the rest is meh... So many specialized and trans parts. I have a hard time including those in MOCs. My opinion on the others sets for the summer wave: - Laval's Fire Lion: I was scared at first, it was weird looking for me. But what we saw the first time the picture leaked, was a standing lion, with a empty-ness body, a bit like the Royal Tank of Lagravis. Seemed unfinished. But it was in Fire Chi mode, the standard form was a more bulky one, and way more appealing. In the end, the set gives some new parts, in flamish colors, a exclusive big fig (OMG LOVE IT!) and a few technic parts of interest to me, like the red tank track and some links 8L I think. I'll buy this set most likely if the money's there :P - Vardy's Ice Vulture Glider: A yellow-ish figure and a purple-ish Vulture. Those might be my favorites minifigures along with Sir Fangar. Back to the set, I don't know if they are dark brown or black, but I would like brown wings for sure. Not too much trans parts, yay! Overall the Glider looks "ok" not much hype for it. But the small build is filled with good parts, like every one in it lol. My verdict: 2 awesome minifigures, perfect mini-build and a "ok" glider with a few good parts. With a nice price, I'll buy this one for sure. - Eris Fire Eagle Flyer: The Saber-tooth tribe is a nice addition, lovely helmets! I like Lagravis in red. Eris in red is a bit weird, but welcomed for variety. The model now. I don't know. The interceptor was a lovely set, one of the best vehicules in the first waves. This "remake" is a bit sad. There's so many colors in it, gosh. It also doesn't give me the same cool vibe as the original. For parts it seems there's a new flick-fire missile launcher, or so it seems to me. The flames are nice, and maybe some wings in brown/redish-brown too? I don't know what to think of this set. So it is low on the buy list. And maybe I'll simply BrickLink the figs or wait for it to be in sales at 30%+ off. - Sir Fangar Saber-Tooth Walker: First thing would be SIR FANGAR <3 And next would be lots of trans blue damn :( At first, with all those joints, it looks like a Hero Factory/Ultrabuild figure. Why not reuse the joints of the Eagle Interceptor? I don't know, but to my taste I would have prefer those for the whole model. Overall the model comes with parts in colors I lack, so it's nice, trans-blue aside. But the finished product is very well done and looks great. I'll buy this one! - Maula's Ice Mammoth Stomper: THIS IS THE SET! The trans-blue parts are somehow better, except maybe the horns in so much quantity (but needed for the nice looking body when the top flies away) but the windscreens are easy to put reuse in MOCs so it's fine for this set. Every Ice minifigures are more then awesome and the Fire minifigures are ok, could have been better. The build is amazing, looks terrific and strong, no one would like to stand in front of this mammoth! The parts seems nice overall, except the head which is a dead part to me ¬¬. This set is the one I want first. I'M LOVIN'IT! - Flying Pheonix Fire Temple: FIrst thging I notice is the specialized parts. The Saber-Tooth vehicule is pretty much ok. But why is that Saber-Tooth minifigure riding it has clips on it's back? Oo Anyway, I don't like the Saber-Tooth mini-vehicule very much, but I guess it's fine and I'll end up liking it when it'll be in my hands. Maybe it's because the Mammoth is way more amazing :P The wall excluding the Flying Pheonix is perfect. Only great parts, can't ask for better and it looks nice. The Flying pheonix now, good parts (except a few specialized parts that I'll probably end up selling) and a nice mecanism.Red/Dark-red/Tan are nice colors and makes the parts way more worth it to me. That thing is also huge, that's a big flying machine! And one of the most positive point of this set: The minifigures. I LOVE THEM ALL. All of them are awesome, new small wings, new feline tribes, new armor for the Pheonix leader and a mini-phoenix, he's so cute! So yeah... This set is a must buy. Along with the mammoth. I won't tell my first impressions on speedorz sets since they most likely won't get in my house. Except maybe the minifigures via BrickLink. What do you guys think about each sets? And on a side note: The winter wave (with Bats/Scorpions) finally hits the Lego S@H in Canada/USA. But I recommand waiting for March 1 to order them with the Ewar bonus for every 75$+ orders :P (In Canada, the whole wave is about 450$ so that's 6 Ewar freebie if divided accordingly). Cheers!

Start/Finish a few MOC projects I have in mind/started. And I guess I'll have fun messing around like always, re-sorting my parts and building some technic vehicules to go out outside piloting them :)

I understand it might not be a plastic issue, but then how is the molding the cause? I mean the part is about the same, maybe not the texture of the slope, but the rest is the same, except the color, which looks trans instead of solid opaque.

Another Canadian, yay! Welcome on Eurobricks!

Bricklink and even official Lego stores are very good alternative at getting some parts :)! Welcome and I hope you'll find everything you'll like around here ^^!

Even in Canada it's about 3.50$ each. Now it'll be 4.50$? I hate how they sell Lego way over the currency exchange price. Take the green baseplate. In USD it's 4.99 and in CAD it's 7.99. The USD is like 9 to 11% more in currency. 5.49 / 5.99 should be the acurate price. I don't see myself paying more than CAD 4$ a random minifigure. -.-

That's a nice display :)! Good idea with the plates and the background ^^!

I've had tons of sets in 2013 and some parts, even in the same sets are pretty "cheap". In the lion Chi temple for exemple, this part in yellow: The sets has like 12 of it, and at least 4 are made of cheaper plastic. The slope slide has less texture, the stud looks soft and so on. While the other 8 are like they should. It's simple amazing how the same part, in the same set, can differ of so much quality...

Oh lol, that's kinda boring lol A 1x1 would have been cool xD" Thanks x)

Pretty sure it's a 1x1 hinges.

Wow thanks for the link :)! The Fire/Ice speedorz looks a bit weird, they have their faces on it. Not as nice as the oldest sadly. And a weird seat, they stand up this time Oo, I wonder how the balance will be affected. We also have a few new parts, like the rocks, in white and dark red/reddish brown. The new 3L trans-bar with mixed colors in it are nice too. It adds a nice fire effect in the swords. But overall the minifigures are awesome. Gotta get'em all! But I think there's a bit too many "specialty parts", like the big mammoth horns. They are a bit harder for your general Moc to be included and those sets have lots of big parts like those. Kinda meh to me since if you take the Lion Chi temple, you have LOTS of bricks and usefull parts. That's the only downside I have with this summer wave. And maybe the amount of trans-bricks which might be too high too.

QueasyKitty and mini Metalbeard are very nice :)! I kinda prefer the mini version since it is a bit more "minifigure" size friendly and should be easier to place in a Moc :P And the pearl gold hinges on his shoulders, the 1x1 modified with a clip, are those new? And the ship looks amazing, I like this steampunk vibe in it and all the details up to the inside of the boat. I don't know if I'll pick this one up, but granted I have the money... I might!

Maybe haha xD Thanks :P Oops :P Edited! And thanks, it was quickly done, next one should be bigger :P

At the carrefour Laval in Laval, the store should be up in spring 2014. I emailed the lady a month ago and she had no opening date yet. But the store is confirmed. Can't wait for it, since I'm only 15-20 minutes away :)!

Welcome Jen :)!

OMG that must take a lot of patience to fill this land with those flower stems xD!

Very well done! Lots of space for the pigs too :)

The old dark grey ones are still in use on my desk :) I have 2 dark gray and near 10 orange ones.

Yeah, but this time it's free and since I'll be ordering whole Chima spring wave, I'll get a few ones :) For army building you know. Ewar is like the most generic eagle with Equila, so it's perfect. Edit: New speedorz sets don't have cards in them, they wouldn't fit with the old ones (because of tribes req's on the cards).

For every 75$ yes but there's a bonus for Chima orders too <3
