You must have children.

An employee at my local LEGO store told me that there is a shortage on all Star Wars sets, but that should clear up in February,

It only has one arm. Plus, I promised it to my 6 year old son, so I cannot take that back. That box wouldn't hold it built, it's so heavy! It will have 2 firepoles.

My replacement Slimer finally shipped. Now I wait... again.

Picked up the F14 T & Scuderia Ferrari Truck. It is so awesome!

I was there! My whole family loved it! Was that huge Endor MOC yours too? That was amazing! My favorite thing I saw!

It took me three and a half days. It goes pretty quickly despite the amount of pieces. They spread the pieces out quite a bit between bags. You'll have A LOT of extra small pieces left. Four or five extra whips that are used for the proton packs. And oddly an extra firepole. I'm still waiting on my replacement Slimer. Apparently they are backlogged on replacement piece orders in Denmark. My order has been "In Warehouse" for a week now.

Finished mine, now just waiting on my replacement Slimer from LEGO.

Went to a LEGO Brickfair convention and bought 75005 Rancor Pit sealed in box for $95, FO Snowspeeder Microfighter, First Order Battle Pack, Tokkat minifigure, Admiral Ackbar minifigure & a Nute Gunray (I think) minifigure.

Did anyone else get two firepoles? I did, seems odd to get an extra one of those. I'm sure you don't use both.

The sealed bag had Slimer with his left arm assembled and no right arm. Believe me, I looked for it. It was not loose in the bag or stuck in another piece. I've already requested a replacement and the order is "In Process."

Got to bag (s) 8 and good old Slimer is missing his right arm. GAHHH!

Picked up the Joker Steam Roller for $10 off at the Orlando LEGO Store and the new Kryptonite Interception set at my local LEGO Store.

Got the Resistance Trooper Battle Pack.

I finished building the Death Star 10188. I had a mild panic attack when I realized that I had not attached the top part of the lift/elevator that you crank that goes up and down from the TIE Fighter bay. You know the part that goes on top of the wall... http://bricks.argz.com/bricksfiles/lego/10000/10188/084.jpg I managed to pry enough bricks apart to attach and put everything back together. Can anyone explain to me why when you put together Darth Vader, it has a black bar next to him in the instructions that you don't use for anything?

Got the Tydirium Shuttle 75094 from Amazon for $14. It was on sale for $82, I had a $50 gift card and $18 in Amazon Visa rewards.

The Walmart near me had the Gorilla Grodd set for $35 on clearance, but they were sold out.

Walmart near me has them for $74 in store. Don't have the money for it now... ARGH!

That's 20% off by the way.

I picked up the Joker Steam Roller, $10 off at the LEGO Store.

Was at the LEGO Store 15 minutes before they opened and got the Firehouse. I had $95 in LEGO gift cards, a $50 AMEX gift card and $35 in VIP points so I only paid $170 for it. I also picked up a $13 Iron Man/Ultron Marvel set for my son, so after taxes, I only paid $212. I still got 316 VIP points for the Firehouse and 11 VIP points for the Marvel set. So, I got another $15. Between this, the Death Star I got for Christmas and the Joker Steam Roller I picked up on vacation, I'm going to be busy.

Got the 10188 Death Star for Christmas, but I had to go out of town so I only completed all 7 #1 bags before I left. I'm getting the Ghostbusters firehouse when I get back and I got a DC Batman set while I've been out of town, so I will be busy the next few weeks.

My brother-in-law got my 6 year old son the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid 75015 for Christmas. It comes with Jango Fett, a clone trooper and a brown battle droid. He found it brand new in the box at a Books-A-Million.

And Jangbricks just blew us all away with his MOD...

Thank you! Like I said, you definitely helped inspire my MOD. I look forward to seeing what you do with your redesign. I'm still trying to utilize all the extra pieces and plates. I've managed to find spots for the 2 x 4 smooth tiles that I didn't use from the lower flaps. I still have many plates left over. After almost a week on the shelf, it seems to be okay resting on the landing gear on the bottom of the wings. I highly recommend doing the windshield in all red, it "pops" more. I didn't have too much trouble finding the transparent red 1 x 2 bricks without tubes.
