Slimer looks kinda cool, but not very Lego.

...and for a while there it looked as though it may also be the new sci-fi theme, maybe it still is. Because TLG clearly hates Eurobricks.

One one hand, if this is what we get because we aren't getting He-Man I'm feeling positive. But then on the other hand, I'm considering what Chima gave us, and that was nowhere near as awesome as what Thundercats would've been. So I'm back full circle for the 50th time this year: this is gonna suck. But I hope not...

Blacktron 1 colour scheme is cooler. By far. (He says wearing a hoodie with B2 logo on the back. - Actually, disregard that, I'm also wearing a B1 t-shirt!) Blacktron 2 just didn't look like bad guys - too much white. Especially the minifigs. The sets were a nicer design though.

I see now that you have put crane stabilisers that fold out to the side. That makes more sense. Great!

Is there love in space?

The chart shows revenue, not profit. Other costs have undoubtedly gone up. But we can all see how tiny the licence cost is compared to how much money comes in. And how insignificant other licences are compared with SW.

I don't have any transaction fees, and I use a debit card for S@H. It does show up on my statements as AUD, but then the only other international purchases I make are through Paypal, so I can't compare it to anything, and my experiences may be an exception.

I couldn't sleep after this movie! I wasn't really expecting that kind of ending.

Looks good, and blue dragons is definitely a nice welcome change!

Maybe so. Holy crap, the hungry hippos are amazing!

I like the idea, that's awesome. It's a bit hard to see the dark areas in those photos, but I think it would look better if you could make the colours match the end sections. If you take a look at mine, there is a slight theme of horizontal stripes. So black on the base, then blue, then white, then trans neon orange. If you could make it look more uniform in that way it would be a big aesthetic improvement, giving it more continuity. Also the black bars & hoses along the side. More white on the crane section somehow, with black & blue as the highlight colours. Sadly those big ice planet wheels stick out to the side too much for my liking. If I were to build something like your sections, I would either skip that one or have much smaller vehicles. How does it look with only the rocket crane section in the middle? And without the vehicles? The more I look at it the more I see areas on my original train that look messy, but I don't have much time for this sort of thing so it probably won't change. Thanks for sharing, it probably looks really cool in action in real life!

My bank statement lists the same as the checkout price, in AUD. The invoice or confirmation from TLG, however, shows DKK.

Is Brickshelf down? I don't see anything again.

Space Knights..? It could be fun, it could be very very bad.

It definitely is. There are no hints in that post about what he's designed for next year except "wait until you see...!" That could be anything. Like steampunkish castle sets.
