  1. The other day, I saw a picture of Indy with the idol & machete. Can't recall of it's a SDCC exclusive, which Im leaning towards that, or a reveal. I bought Newt Scamander & Beast 3 pack woth a Cornish Pixie, Mandrake, & Grindylow, from Barnes & Noble as part of a special "con collectibles" promo. It has a "con exclusive" sticker...but a bit bummed it wasn't a SDCC sticker.
  2. I think this Mr. Freeze was a bit of "Batman Forever" inspired. The bulky armor that kept him alive & such.
  3. There will be, but he'll be hard to get... Disney Park exclusive, $19.99. You can have it shipped to you using the "Shop Disney Parks" mobile app.
  4. So excited! I found my favorite DBZ "villain" of all time...Majin Buu! Today was a good day. Problem now...I'm running out of (current) space...
  5. Went to TRU looking to get 60134 Fun in the Park...walked out with 71235 Midway Arcade: Gamer Kid.
  6. I'm excited & bummed to see the Fantastic Beasts story pack. I will definitely get it as its Harry Potter, but paying for content I won't use is boo...oh well. That backdrop build is...fantastic. Maybe I'll put it in the ground floor of 10182 Cafe Corner.
  7. Excited to see Red Hulk & the She's as well. Those vehicles though....what.
  8. Definitely don't care about the second rate Iron Man...a little bummed about the Cap though. Oh well...
  9. That thing is amazing. I love the different theme rooms. Such a fantastic build, & the details are impressive. This will be on the non realistic wish list though.
  10. I don't mind them. I get slightly irritable when placing them...like many of us.
  11. 75902 The Mystery Machine 30447 Captain America's Motorcycle
  12. I've been debating storing by part more & more lately...as I've been picking parts out of sets to use on my town layout(I store them. Y set in containers right now) and keeping track via list what parts & how many I take out of any given set. But, the list keeping is getting a bit trivial...
  13. California here. Just checked all my Ghostbusters again, all fine. Your wife could be onto something.
  14. This is fantastic. I love the tiling. I have a large area mostly covered with dark tan. I buy from a local second hand LEGO store, so it's a bit limited. I was thinking about adding another color, & this reinforces that. I just might do this.
  15. Looks like it could be an off road rally racer. Very cool design.
  16. The other Modulars are a good place to look, as a few others have signage. The "HOTEL" sign in 10182 Cafe Corner is a good starting point. It's a straight forward build. 10211 Grand Emporium has a neat "SHOP" sign too. A capital B will be tricky, I think, as it could read as an 8 very easily. Perhaps making the lower curved part go a stud further out will avoid that.
  17. 60097 City Square
  18. I don't remember getting one...until last week when I bought 76047 Black Panther Pursuit.
  19. 76047 Black Panther Pursuit All caught up now. On Marvel, that is. And until the next wave.
  20. Oh man, jealous! I spy the black truck with the helicopter/trailer. And the racecar hauler towards the back on the left. The gas station. !!!!
  21. Good start. A few more trees, maybe a bigger brick built one. A fountain or statue are nice additions. I use the statue from 60026 Town Square & the fountain from 10184 Town Plan, just to give some ideas on them both. Given your size, both may be a bit much though. Maybe a tiled walking path as well.
  22. Time is the biggest hurdle for a book to movie adaptation. A book doesn't exactly have restraints, as I own 1,000 page books. A lot of time it's hard to pack all the info into a 2+ hour movie. Generally, I think studios do a good job of it. But I've seen some instances of movies changing or omitting big parts.
  23. Ready Player One, Ernest Cline. A VR MMORPG story. It's the quest of all quests story. Lots of 80's movie, TV, video game references.
  24. Generally, movies can't hold a candle to books. Most of the time, I enjoy the movies well enough, in between the snickering when thing are way off. Movies do a pretty damn good job of adapting though. That being sad... I absolutely hate the butchering of the Maze Runner books. Watching the Scorch Trials was rough. I would've enjoyed the movies far more had I not read the books first.
  25. Me too. Seeing Scamander in the game, I'm excited to see his figure. Likely going to pass on this HP one...although the Hogwarts Express is a neat little build.
