    Jurassic World 2015 Rumors & Discussion

    Yes, I'm kind of annoyed that the Raptor Escape set is already sold out, including Walmart. It's strange that they may not produce more units of this set as the demand is still high. My local Lego store is wiped out of sets and won't be replenishing stock for another 2 weeks.

    Jurassic World 2015 Rumors & Discussion

    I didn't count but there were roughly twenty sets sitting in a cardboard box. My TRU displays the poly bags in the blind bags section next to customer service. I was tempted to buy the whole box for an army but didn't want to be greedy, so I settled for 4 bags.

    Yeah, I'm located in US. It was flagged as not to sell until 6/21, but the manager overrode the transaction and let me buy them anyway. Sadly, afterwards he gathered up the remaining bags to be returned to the stockroom.

    Picked up some Gallimimus Traps at TRU today. Great for the JW printed tile piece!

    I just came back from seeing the film and have to disagree with you about the sets. I think Lego did a nice job with 4/6 sets, although not movie accurate, still convey what happens in the movie.

    Jurassic World 2015 Rumors & Discussion

    I just came back from the Lego store and the JW section was wiped clean save for the Dilophosaurus set. I was able to pick up the last T Rex set they had (they did not have anymore JW in the stockroom until the next shipment). The employee confirmed that the sets have been well received. Also, a few weeks ago, my other local Lego store had signs limiting one of each set per customer purchase.

    Sideshow Bob is the primary antagonist in the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios. They'd be bonkers not to include him in a S3 lineup.

    Between the 2 raptor sets I prefer the escape set; I like the printing of the included raptors and the pen. The vehicle in the latter set does nothing for me.

    Electro polybag is gift with $30 purchase at TRU this week, through 5/16. http://weeklyad.toysrus.com/ToysRUs/ListingDetail/Index/?StoreID=2561324&ListingID=-2034661014&ItemDetailClickSource=grid
  10. For comic book guy I'd recommend feeling for the straw tip from the squishie; Edna has the mug piece. Yes, I imagine it will be tough to feel the difference between Homer and Hibbert. My thumbs are already crying for what's to come Friday morning.

    Simpsons 2015 Rumors and Discussion

    Right after watching just2good's video I could almost imagine Nelson pointing and taunting, "HA-ha!" Shame about the distribution of your packs.
  12. hmm, just curious why Lego has yet to utilize the long Woody/Jessie legs in any of the CMF series. They keep on introducing new molds but seem to ignore the long legs. Were they really unpopular?

    WTF. My TRU displays the CMF cases at the customer service desk to prevent the five finger discounters.

    Simpsons 2015 Rumors and Discussion

    Love series 2 but why is Marge still barefoot (and it seems Patty and Selma are also lacking shoes)? You'd think after a year Lego would rectify this. How hard is it to put some printing on the feet like the CMF Spartan?

    What did you buy today?

    I used some store credit and picked up Disney Princess Jasmine's Exotic Palace.

    Disney Princess 2015 Rumors and Discussion

    Finally picked up a Frozen set this morning at my local Target. They had a full assortment of 2015 items. I was hoping to score double vip points today but the Lego store on the opposite side of the mall was adamant to the Jan 1st release date. Seems absurd, but their loss.

    Elves 2015

    These are amazing. I want them all!

    Disney Princess 2015 Rumors and Discussion

    So much to like here. There's Sebastian and I think his claws can hold accessories, looks like he is wielding a goblet. The slide in Ariel's palace I don't get...they are underwater. Elsa's castle is okay, I wish the stairs and balcony rails were pale blue not lavender. Olaf looks awful, I wonder why they didn't go with a 1brick mold similar to Merida's brothers. I probably will just pick up the A&E minifigs off bricklink and save my $$$ for the FANTASTIC looking Elves line.

    Any 2015 set rumors? At this point, Frozen sets are a given.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    I'm really liking the movie turtle figs, hard to believe the 180 from my mostly negative initial reaction to them. It's a shame (or shrewd) that all 4 cannot be obtained in a single set. Oh well, off to bricklink I go...

    The Simpsons 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    Thanks! I'm not sure why I missed him yesterday. He was one of the first bags I set aside to purchase but I suppose he got lost in the mix.
