Family returning from China brought me 80101 and 80102. They paid retail, but said they were plentiful (11 Jan). They asked about 80103 and were told sometime in late April or early May.

Boston - Architecture Skyline
ivyhedge replied to Lamborghini Waffle Sauce's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Waffle - I absolutely love this! As a resident of Boston, I commend you for adding ... seemingly everything you could. Were some version to make it to production, I think Beacon Hill and the Bunker Hill Monument (in Charlestown) would probably be axed: and it would be a shame. I suspect the Customs House would likely devolve into towers from the London and Venice skyline series. Boston and Philadelphia are two American cities rich with history whose time has come for participation in the skyline series. On the international front, I'd love to see Toronto, Moscow, Beijing, Tokyo, and Cairo. Nice work! -
LEGO Architecture Local Landmark Contest - Voting

Entry A - 3 -
Golden Gate, Coliseum, and Arc are great suggestions. I'd like to see the Brooklyn Bridge, Giza, the Great Wall (non-touristy section), and something more esoteric like the Easter Island heads. Some of these would doubtlessly be better achieved by folks as MOCs, but it would be exciting to to see some of what is likely to be mentioned in this discussion in microscale.

21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V (LEGO Ideas)
ivyhedge replied to Blondie-Wan's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I'm excited by this news. I'd forgotten how big the submitted Ideas Saturn V was. I suppose it will be scaled down a bit for the product's release. Although I'm not a huge Beatles fan, I know many who are so I suppose it will be a unique gift (built, I bet)! -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 16 Rumors and Discussion
ivyhedge replied to 8BrickMario's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Folks, how many of you open the bags? I've maintained all of the previous two series in bags only for resale purposes but admit not being able to enjoy the characters. I have multiple copies. I suppose I should just open a few for fun, eh? Perhaps get one of those cases. -
LEGO Architecture "World's Tallest" Custom Series
ivyhedge replied to Doctor Octoroc's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Did I mention this one earlier? How about One57 in NY (realizing that you might put 432 Park on your "too boring" list despite its monolithic beauty)? -
Profound: I love your dedication to detail.
-
Nice. I agree with the $50 comment, although it matters not. I fulfill these requests mostly by purchasing Architecture sets.
-
Stunning. It is every bit as good as any set in the Lego Architecture series.

Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion

Target in Somerville, MA has them now, too. $3.99 here and generally $3.49 for S15 in NH. Will check NH availability tomorrow. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 15 Rumors and Discussion
ivyhedge replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Many eastern MA/southeastern TRUs are empty, or have old stock that has been sitting (picked over) for weeks. A few Targets I have visited (for example, to search for more Olafs/fire cars) had a few left (got another shark suit guy that way) but were clearly not restocking - what a mess. Most of my S15 purchases were for 2 for $5 at TRU NH. Anecdotes: the last time I visited the Lego store at the North Shore Mall (last week), they were "out", but I believe expected to restock, and the 30 Rockefeller Center (non flagship, this past Monday) NYC store was offering two injured guys and one faun. The greeter woman said that they were the last three that the store had. -
I'm all over this: I need more 2x10 green plates!

For anyone in the Boston metro area with a Target nearby... I got 70% of the fire car polybag at the Everett store in MA. Sadly, the four Olafs in the store remain in there: somewhere (have been on DPCI since yesterday afternoon so probably still there). A very nice lady - Joan - helped me look for them everywhere in the store (all clearance areas, dumps, restocking, end cap finishing, cashier areas, etc), to no avail. She was looking for a mission and loved the chase. Sadly, it was not to be.Someone with more than a lunch break might get them for just $1.19, though: best of luck on what will be "Olafs well earned". I *did* get a Shark Suit Guy, though, so WIN! Other updates: in southern NH, the Pease Tradeport/Portsmouth TRU still had about 15+ Bricktober sets (Bakery and Train) in stock for $9.98. They shipped me two of the TRU Bricktober, too, but grounded me on the Hotel, although it says they can ship it.

Spiffy! Tasty?!

These pretzels ... !

Nice picks, for sure! I have a Legoland Discovery Center within a short bike ride from my home but it is so poorly stocked, with such an unhelpful, disinterested staff, and a perennially empty PaB wall that I've vowed not to return lest I feel like a masochist! As for Chicken Suit Guy with his paper shed, there was a Toys R Us I frequent in southern NH that had tens of them that just sat and sat ... Certain areas are definitely hotbeds for collectors (for example, that is more of a polybag collectors store, not a minifig or special items store). Cheers!

Jealous! Did you purchase any of them?

Where's the Klein bike?? ;)
-
Hideously fantastic, DanSto! You captured well the ungainly proportions and almost mystical, halting beauty of that monstrosity ... Cheers!

LEGO Architecture "World's Tallest" Custom Series
ivyhedge replied to Doctor Octoroc's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Sounds great, although I'd advise limiting the choices: as a member of the venture capital field, my experience shows that too many slices fosters indecision since you are nuance-stepping to a detailed audience. That said, I will be pleased to purchase number 7 and then engage you on number 11 and/or 13. And you probably have an idea of which buildings I might request. ;) Cheers. -
Wonderful! Logistical question: do all of your builds only use one Architecture Studio pack? With the discount at my local store (noted in another thread) I might take the plunge if so...
-
The Lego store at the Northshore Mall near Danvers/Peabody, MA has the Architecture Studio for $159.99 plus a 20% discount. I asked a clerk how long was the sale and they remarked that it was either until 31 March or permanent, pending a decision by TLG. (TLG and Amazon prices remain $160.) Happy designing!

LEGO Architecture "World's Tallest" Custom Series

Doc - 200 Clarendon looks great! With the turntable, you give the illusion of capturing the building's ten sides, even at that scale. Nicely done: and thanks. -

Oтлично! This is marvelous.
