Before it gets too lost in the shuffle, thanks to both of you for the tip!

I feel you there - I also collect Star Wars, but keeping up with Potter takes priority right now. I figure I'll be able to spread out buying the wave of sets online, but since I'm not going into any stores for a while, I'm hoping to find a way to get the full set of CMF without buying a whole box.

On the Target app I'm seeing "Coming Soon" with no specific date, so it's not just you.

I love what you're doing here, but I gotta say I was hoping in this picture that the flower cart would also be twice as big...

Oh man, I'm super jazzed about that radio tile! I've been tinkering with a 100% accurate Emmet car for a while and that was the one bit that just wasn't possible until now. I'm loving the rest of the set as well - great value and lots of treats for fans of the movie.

Everything right here. I gradually fell out of Bionicle as I didn't like the later sets and the story got too fiddly for me to keep up with, but those first three years or so were just outstanding. I loved collecting the masks, I loved how it felt like each year built on what came before (the gold and silver masks to upgrade your Toa, the Nuva armor and weapons being compatible with the older parts), and I loved the designs of the Rahkshi. Everything was simple but full of atmosphere and character. And even the stuff outside the main sets: McDonald's Matoran! The online game! Mask of Light THE MOVIE! I have some high hopes here, crossing my fingers that this happens and that it's as great as it has the potential to be.

That looks fantastic! I'm curious how articulated and sturdy it is - I think I'm seeing ball joints at the shoulders and elbows?

I'm modding my Emmet car to be movie accurate, so I kind of wish I'd seen that video last week when I ordered the parts! The good news is that while there was no way to know about that black 2x3 plate by his feet (which is completely covered anyway), the changes I'm planning are pretty much exactly right - raising and tweaking the mirrors and steering wheel, adding the radio and tail light. Being able to go frame-by-frame through this movie is going to be a lot of fun, I think.

At my Toys R Us, they were instructing people to only take two of each piece and one head. They also had some of the pieces that looked similar mixed together, such as the round grey plates. So when I got home, I realized that I didn't really have enough pieces to do much with all of the ball joints and I only had one of the grey piece that snaps into the black turntable. But hey, I decided that it's really in the spirit of the movie to make something cool with what you have (and the robot-person thing doesn't make a ton of sense to me anyway), so I made a spaceship! I used every single piece I got at Toys R Us, with the only outside additions being the steering wheel and the pilot. My only rules for myself were to use everything and to try and keep it symmetrical if I could (since, as I mentioned, I didn't actually end up with two of everything). I'm usually a "follow the instructions" kind of person, so I'm really pretty proud of this. What did everybody else come up with?
