Maybe it's $300 for all the modulars... BUT it's the micro-scale version of them. Those little shops reminds me of the little shops and buildings in the non-modular Creator line. Maybe the $300 is for gold-plated technic pins to connect the above sets together?

More interesting to me is seeing the Powerpuff Girls as brick-built characters (4:05). Still, I hope the physical sets have them as minifigures.

My first thought would be a killer whale but I don't think LEGO would want something that seems to promote the captivity of whales at seaparks, given the recent controversy and outrage.

Maybe she took the bat idea to the next level and likes to hang upside-down?

If this is your first modular, I would shy away from the restaurant because it'll make you want to buy ALL the modulars. Happened to me.

Until the Star Wars brand dies or they lose the license to it.

Maybe they will introduce modularity on the baseplate-level, so you can take part of the building and attach it either to the end or middle (to form the inverted corner). Then again, this will probably only work with a very limited style of building, but the exterior of a hospital can be pretty bland and generic.

How many of you think you found the perfect enclosure and then realize the interior width is not in multiples of 10"/25cm (the width of a 32x32 baseplate)? This is the Ikea Normas and it's 25" wide, which limits it to 6 modulars (2 per shelf). Just about 6" more, it would hold 9 modulars. My idea cabinet would be at least 30" in interior width.

In this motorcycle part, one of the clips has cracked and barely hanging on: Can it be repair with glue? I read that LEGO uses Methyl Ethyl Ketone for glue, so I bought this: http://weldon.com/primers-cleaners/cleaner-c-65/ BUT it didn't work. I pulled open the cracked part, apply the solution with a cotton swap, and applied pressure on the piece for a minutes. And it didn't do anything at all. Perhaps I got the wrong product? Is this even worth the effort? It contains Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Keton, and Cyclohexanone.

It's very hard for me to find a dust-free way to store my modulars. Many of the IKEA options are good for storing them individually, but I think they would look best when stored connected as a city block. I wish there were more horizontal storage options, ideally something tall enough to fit the town hall. And the internal width needs to be in multiples of 10in/25cm. Oh, how many times have I seen storage that is just a little bit too narrow to fit one more modular. Often, people would split up the Pet Shop set to fill the space, but LEGO has only given us ONE modular set that can be split in half.

Anyone having issues logging into bricklink today (aug 4th 2016)? I get this error: Bad Message 413 reason: Request Entity Too Large

Notice that current packs are heavily discounted and readily available? If they hit upon a theme that drastically increases demand, they may be compelled to milk it at the expense of other properties. Note LEGO is able to produce new Star Wars sets every year despite dry spells of no new source material. And I think Star Wars is what saved LEGO from collapse.

I wonder what would happen if you called it Prince Charming's Castle or the Disney World Castle. I would love it if LEGO announces that it also transforms into a robot (macross sdf-1 style), just to make children question their attitudes on gender-specific toys.

Doesn't LEGO Digital Designer have baseplates?

His codename was considered not suitable for a children's show. Interestingly enough, 13 years later, his codename is spoken quite often forwards and backwards in the children's movie: LEGO Justice League Gotham City Breakout.

What if they are in-game characters only, have ONE interesting ability, and cycle to a different companion each time they die? Actually, that last idea is rather morbid and I can imagine players killing themselves constantly to cycle through to the companion they want. Maybe have a closet in the Tardis where you can hop in to switch to another companion, similar to what Romana did when she switched bodies.

Wild dream: computer version. More realistic version: numbers reserved for future consoles.

If you ever ordered from bricklink, you probably already have hundreds of little ziplock bags, which also helps keep the accessories together. If not, just wrap each in tissue paper and stack in a container.

I read an article that said that kids-oriented things like theme parks or kids shows were made more successful when they were updated to make it fun for adults as well. So for Disney World, kids and their parents could enjoy the experience today instead of the adult just waiting for their kids. Or the Sesame Street show having jokes for adults to understand and now both kids and parents are watching the show together. So maybe for Dimensions, by including nostalgic things from the parent's childhood, then parent and child will now play together. So let's assume Knight Rider is going to in it. Adults would know it, be curious to try it, and buy it. Getting the adult to buy it may be the most important part since children are less likely to be the one buying these on their own. Maybe at the store, the adult would buy one pack that the kids want and one pack that mom/dad wants to try out. Of course, most children would not know about Knight Rider, but how bad can a computer car be, and besides, "mom/dad is willing to play it with me so it's worth a try."

Any whispers from little birds on a possible PC-release of Dimensions? Anyone else think that the NFC plate for the 2.0 wave will be colored gold instead of blue? The box should be a similar color too so they stand out from the 1.0 boxes.

Favourite . . . Male minifigure: S4 Sailor: sailor suits are perfect for japanese school uniforms (+ S1 Cheerleader's skirt). Female minifigure: S7 Grandma visitor: love the little girl head and the torso is cute too. Licensed minifigure: If the LEGO Movie counts, then I love Wild West Wildstyle's dress. Otherwise, Disney's Ariel for the great red hair. Additionally: What is your least favourite CMF that you own? S3 Fisherman: HATE that the torso printing doesn't go to the edge and creates a huge gap in his waders. What CMF do you want the most? S10 Mr. Gold: because it's the only one I'm missing, but no way am I paying $$$$ for it. What S16 CMF are you most looking forward to? Maybe the Babysitter. Any honourable mentions? S12 Gothgirl: finally have the parts to create Dorothy from The Big O.

I just saw a video on Megablok's Kubros figures, which are similar in concept to the Adventure Time figures, and one thing that jumped out at me is that the He-Man figure is full of "light-flesh" color bricks, which is a color LEGO doesn't have on normal consumer-sold bricks (outside of minifigure parts). I know Adventure Time has characters with unnatural skin colors but those colors do match many of the colors that Lego does use, which probably helped the project get approved. But Finn is normal human with natural skin color and so would this be the first time Lego is putting light-flesh colored bricks into a consumer set? I know they have those colors at Lego-created sculptures at theme parks and stores. Wasn't there a theory that the reason Lego didn't want to make bricks that match certain skin colors was because they didn't want people to make pornographic creations? Think of the children! :)

But I would guess only when the books, games, etc are not based on the story or design of their movies. EG: wolverine based on comic book design: ok since license is from marvel, but wolverine based on movie design, nope since license is from fox.

I think warner brothers handles all of the licensing for DC, BUT for Mavel properties used in movies/shows, multiple studios seem to own the rights to different movies/shows, which makes negotiating rights more complicated. For example, fox has x-men/fantastic4, sony has spider-man, and marvel/disney has the avengers. This may be why Lego DC sets are not just limited to just shows/movies since it's easier to negotiate a single contract for everything. In the Lego marvel video games, do x-men/spider-man/avengers/etc ever meet? If not, then I'm guessing the different studios don't want their 'property' to be mixed in with the properties from other studios, and that goes for books as well. I read about Marvel cancelling the fantastic4 comic book because they didn't like fox owning the rights to that item, since Marvel is now trying to get all their licenses back. I suppose the only way currently for DK to come out with Marvel books is to have separate books for each property (eg: x-men book, spider-man book, avengers book, etc), but I don't they they have enough sets each to warrant that. The DK DC books use to be all about batman but it's starting to be less bat-centric, which is good.
