-
Been quite a year for SW purchases with me, especially last month. 75345 501st Clone Trooper BP 75359 332nd Ashoka’s Clone Tropper BP 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor and awaiting to be shipped 75362 Ashoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle I was trying to stick to Phase 1(and ARF) army building...but I found 75345 cheap & the 332’s are just cool...nothing wrong with a slight detour.

LEGO Star Wars 2023 News - EVERYONE PLEASE READ FIRST POST
Vindicare replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I just finished building all the contents of the calendar & I got a repeat day. I’ll spoiler tag it for those who like to be surprised by the doors. -
Is that for the whole of the sale? I can’t just redeem the 3 then go back & do it again? Or I can just get normal priced $5 ones I suppose. I have the points to get a $100 & $20(without taking the $5 sale into it). I could get the 3 discount ones & three regular $5 & still come out ahead....I think? Haha...I don’t do the discount thing that often, if it’s not obvious enough.
-
Oh man...that’s super weird then, that hairpiece isn’t even tied to someone in the set. Do the different departments not talk to each other?! Come on! Yeah, a non green accented hairpiece would also be welcomed.
-
Does anyone have an idea how many, if there is a limit, $x discounts you can redeem in store? After I redeem for the $100 off I’ll have 2,720 left which I was planning on getting a $20 discount. But with the $5 being 162 pats each I could buy a lot...16 of them. Will that work? I’ve never done this many(doubt anyone else has either...).
-
Totally agree. I love both hairpieces & would love to see them in more colors. Mateo’s hair in black would’ve been perfect for Lee Jordan(although the hobbit hairpiece in black is a welcomed addition). We definitely need Izzie’s hair in more realistic colors.

LEGO Monkie Kid 2024 Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to Peppermint_M's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
What a fantastic set! Another one loaded with character(both minifig & buildings)! I didn’t realize we were gonna be getting such a sprawling Megaopolis, I love it. Hopefully it’ll as well priced as Lanterns was...and that LEGO would finally put these sets back in stores. -
I agree & disagree. I agree with you on the color part...I’m not sure why we need three shades of azure(along with all the other shades of blue we also have. I’ve only started MOCing & I still keep my set parts together, in most cases so the wide array of parts doesn’t bother me even if I do find it a bit unnecessary. Where I disagree(although this was later addressed) is you just have to get him certain sets to fill out parts he may use. Classic boxes have quite a variety of parts in all kinds of price ranges.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
You mean you wouldn’t be excited to get those animals in a set?! Seeing that picture comforts me a bit. It’s missing the statues/gardens...but I like physically seeing the color palette. I’m still not sure about a green museum...but this isn’t bad looking. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I’m definitely excited for it, the description has potential. I love olive green but it’s not what I picture a naturally history museum color to be. I trust the designers though & can’t wait to see it. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
They’ve released a UCS alongside a Modular in the past. It was Slave 1 & Detective’s Office. Trust me, January 1st sees plenty of traffic for at least the last decade. I just can’t see any reason to suddenly now change the release date. If they wanted Christmas sales out of it...why now? It’s not like they’re hard up for sales. It just doesn’t make any sense. I love olive green but on a museum? Odd choice but I’m open to it. The white pillars will definitely be striking against it. Maybe it works well with the little garden areas on either side of the steps. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I’m sorta in that boat. Cafe Corner will always be one of my favorites simply for the fact that it was first. However, I feel like Green Grocer is the perfect balance. A nice detailed ground floor that has a lot of windows & not much going on inside. I’m not big on interiors since I rarely see them after I’m done or am rearranging. I appreciate them during the build because it means does things up a bit though & there is some fun bits in there. Same. I love the multiple buildings on a baseplate as it feels like a full street scene happening. -
Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
Vindicare replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
The more I look at Gringotts perched atop the vaults, I’m starting to come around to it. I won’t ever love it, but I’m fine with it. Even still, it’s (sort of) a $200 waste & it’s just going to sit in the corner without a purpose. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I’m pretty easy going when it comes to Modulars. There isn’t one I don’t like. A friend though has pretty strong opinions of dislike on a handful of them. I’ve only ever gone so far as saying Grand Emporium is a boring looking building...but that’s because it’s a shopping mall. It’s not like they’re exactly known for their beautiful architecture. -
They are free though. If I bought the Harry Potter set(s) elsewhere I wouldn’t have gotten the Vault or polybag but since I bought from LEGP directly, at the same price listed as other shops, I got the GWP sets for nothing.
-
Not overly thrilled by this year’s offerings. The green torso looks like a watermelon.i do like the head & torso on the sax playing cat.

Chinese New Year Sets - Rumors and Discussion
Vindicare replied to Klaus-Dieter's topic in Special LEGO Themes
As an American who didn’t have a chance to buy the first two, I would love to see a dragon dance set, but more in line with this year’s parade. I understand the functionality of the old one...but I’d much prefer it without the stand. Next to the lion dancers, I always love seeing those dragons snake their way down the road. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Vindicare replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I highly doubt it’s going to be a corner, unless they plan on breaking the pattern that has lasted the entire run of the theme. A corner, 2 straights. I would love an inverted corner though, but as has been mentioned, making an attractive front can be tricky...but I have faith in the designers that they could do it. -
I love it. It gives off the snowy rustic feel very well. I like the little side build too, and yeah, that looks like a cutout on the door.
-
Very cool! I too wish the official house was fully enclosed...and for the price they were asking, it should’ve been. I like how you made the back walls open up like that to make getting inside easier & avoid having to remove the roof.
-
Great little scene, I like that even the landscape has differences to it, just as Mulan does. I like the posing of warrior Mulan.

Wizarding World 2023 - Rumors & Discussion
Vindicare replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I felt that way when Harry showed up in the AC. While I don’t mind seeing minifigs in expensive sets show up in cheap ones, it does take a little away from what makes that minifig special. Built mine & I’d still rather just have the bank. The underground is cool & it makes for a fantastic standalone but it’s gonna look funny on display by itself as Gringotts sits in my town with DA. -
They’re really what drew me in as well, especially with all the variations we have in just one wave. The sets being cool are just a bonus. I was bummed though when I realized Mateo & Z-Blob Mech doesn’t even come with Z-Blob...but I am keeping an eye out for that polybag. I do plan on getting more sets but they’re not every high on the list.
-
I too have that wish. Can’t even find them in LEGO stores here.
