  1. I picked up 2 bags randomly at target yesterday, got panda man and business president. The quality of these new minifigs arent as good as previous series. On one minifig, one leg is shorter than the other. On the other one, the leg color is dull without the shine. Kind of disappointed.
  2. So while browsing around tonight, I came upon the 8109 flatbed tow truck. When this model was introduced, I was really fascinated by the flatbed mechanism and told myself I need to get this. I saw this at TRU many times and it was on S@H for a while. But for some reason, I never got around to picking it up due to work and other obligations. And now that I have a little time to get back into Technic building, it's no longer available at retail outlets. I need to either pay double the MSRP price to the scalpers for a new set, or I'll have to fight with other AFOL for a used set on auction sites. Sigh... so stressful. I should've gotten it when I had the chance. Would look amazing next to the new 42008. So what's that one set that you really wanted but missed the chance to get it when it was new? I wanna hear it!
  3. LOL, love the cat voice over intro. I have 2 cats myself, but they aren't that big yet. Looking forward to seeing your giant mobile crane completion.
  4. What a strange looking truck. Until the catalog preview picture a few months back, I've never seen something like that. Thanks for the review Jim. Question, I've built many Technic models, but what is that round part that looks like a tear drop key hole? It's part #4210759. Never seen that part before either! Edit: Looks that it's in the 42009, which I haven't started building. Still in the closet. LOL
  5. I might get the plane. Everything else looks weak.

    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    Finally a chance to get a few royal guards without paying an arm for the emperor shuttle! Might get those kashyyyk clone troopers too. Perhaps the general grievous bike and figure as well.

    Which set should I buy?

    If I have the budget, do you think I should get the 42000 Grand Prix Racer or the 42008 Service Truck? They're the same price. I saw the Grand Prix Racer on display at TRU, it's kind of nice, but I don't know. I like the 42008 due to all the functions.

    Latest updates on LEGO set sales

    I did some math on 2 sets I'd like to get, 42008 & 42006. TRU has them marked up $10 each. If I purchase both, I save $26 compare to buying straight from Lego S@H. Sale ends on 28th...

    Storage and Sorting LEGO

    Ziplock bags for pieces. File boxes with hanging folder for instructions.

    Storage and Sorting LEGO

    http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10177220/#/10177220 I've discovered these kitchen draw trays are great for sorting pieces for large Technic set builds.

    Which set should I buy?

    I love the looks of the Artic Batman and Mister Freeze minifigs in 76000, and the Iron Man + War Machine in 76006 look great too. If I have the budget, I would get those 2.

    Latest updates on LEGO set sales

    TRU is currently running a Buy 1, Get 1 50% deal for LEGO, however TRU does a 20% mark up on their LEGO sets, but you're really getting only a 30% off deal?

    What does everyone like to do with the Lego sets they buy?

    I build them, line them up on the shelves and play with them from time to time. I collect mostly Technic and Star Wars sets.
  16. Went to TRU the other day, they had 2 boxes of series 11 on the shelves. I started feeling the bags, and got a yeti, but 2 minutes later, I realize it's silly and just stopped what I was doing and walked out the store.

    [REVIEW]:75023 Star Wars Advent Calendar

    I really don't see the point of these advent calendars, even when they're on clearance at target. All you're getting is a bunch of random LEGO pieces that happen to form objects that vaguely resemble what they're suppose to be. You basically get 1-2 good LEGO minifigs. Why would I spend $50 on a box of junk when I can use that same amount of money for 5 battle packs?
  18. LOL, the Volk-Tron is just ridiculous! I can't stop laughing.
  19. Kickass! I bought this very set for my nephew. He's addicted to LEGO ever since I got him the LEGO Ultimate Building Set.
  20. It was the 8051 Motorbike. I thought it looked like pure awesomeness and had to have it. Then it just went bananas after that. I wish I can find the 8109 at Toys R Us sometimes. That's how I picked up the 8263 snow groomer.

    Which set should I buy?

    I've been wanting to get the 8109 for a very long time after I missed the chance to get it during its life cycle, and finally found a deal to get one. But I also have a coupon that allows me to get the new 42008 for the same price. What should I do?
  22. I opened that baby the moment I received it and built it right away, and went into service harassing my cats.

  24. I thought CMF series is suppose to include minifigs that are not included in any other LEGO sets. But with this Simpsons crap, they're breaking the policy. Very lame, because they're gonna have these Simpsons sets, and then a whole CMF series with just Simpsons minifigs. Do not want!
