    We now have a 4th set (5th?) using the new roller coaster parts. 41347-1: Heartlake City Resort has RC parts forming a monorail These are grey, so not a new color. Thank God. I might get one of these to add the parts to the pirate RC, but maybe not as I don't see any that aren't already in there. I'm seriously considering buying about 4 Pirate RC's and using all the pirate bits to turn the big coaster into a huge pirate coaster. Also, the pirate tree house 3-in-1 set would work for that as well. So, we have RC parts in - The Joker manor (purple), The big coaster (red), the pirate coaster (grey), Heartlake city resort (grey), and I think the Black Panther set with the mine car is the same pieces as well (grey). Am I missing anything? 41456-1: Unikingdom Fairground Fun has purple 41352-1: The Big Race Day as grey so, lots of sets using the RC parts.

    Now we have 3 coaster sets, Wayne manner (purple), Pirate coaster (gery), and this one (red). Am I missing any? I wish they had just picked one color and stuck with it. Would have made it easier to integrate sets. I wonder how many pirate coasters you'd have to buy to have the same number of track pieces.

    The conservatory really adds to the Victorian steam-punky vibe of a good mad scientist lab. The window printing works, but these two https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18675pb09#T=S&C=13&O={"color":13,"iconly":0} or, https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=18675pb03#T=S&C=13&O={"color":13,"iconly":0} might be better.

    I like the blue better than the yellow. Looks more like a real building. I get what you mean about cost, sand blue bricks tend to be more expensive. I still think the back of the top floor should be grey brick for the real "mad scientist" lab feeling. But, do what makes YOU happy. Don't try and please all of us. Replacing the window from the original with a non-printed one is definitely the way to go as the printed one is very iconic and related to Dr Strange. Is this going to be a stand-alone building, or stacked next to other modulars? The chimney will make it set apart if you're planning on setting it with some others. I'm looking at building 2 modulars from mine, one will be Dr Strange's house based on the 10218 Brownstone, and the other will be peters building based on the pet store with the pizza parlor on the ground floor. But I'm going to give the second building a different facade with the tan brick and fire escapes being the back of the building. Now, I just have to find the time to start building this. Need to scrap some of my half-finished buildings for parts.

    I think the back wall would still have plenty of yellow if you changed the top floor. But, it's your building.

    I like this. But, I'd make it a modular type with removable levels as opposed to an opening building. But, that's just me. Also, you should make the back wall of the top floor grey, sprinkling in Grey masonry bricks for texture. That would give it the old black & white Frankenstien lab feel. Maybe even go as far as to include Frankenstein's monster on the slab.

    Its a unique enough item that I'm planning on getting one, and has enough interesting pieces that I might get 2. But, even though it has a price per part of 7 cents, since 280 of those parts are just 1x1 rounds it actually seems a little pricey. I'd have felt it was a better price at about 59.99.

    You're obviously paying much closer attention to this stuff than I am. I just build them and stick them on my shelf.

    Your review has images where you compare the LID figure with the CMF figure but you never show or mention a head swap. TLG should have just left out the black head when they saw the result, its a mark against them, but they rarely make mistakes like this.
  10. turk187
    Don't let that head put you off. I switched out the head for her CMF figure and it fits in fine. The black was unnecessary. The rest of the set is fine.
  11. turk187
    This is great. Could you provide a parts list? I know I don't have most of these bits that I can see and I'm not sure what to get to duplicate this.

    I'm looking to add a camera to a Lego train. Does anyone have suggestions about how to go about it? I don't just want to stack a go-pro on the top, I'd like to do something more creative. There are cheap wireless spy cams on ebay that might work well. I would welcome any ideas.

    I'm not really sold on the left hand side. It might look better next to the Parisian restaurant.

    I got the "making of the movie" book today from Amazon. Wonderful book, so full of ideas. Also got the Garmadon, Garmadon, Garmadon set, the Piranha Attack set and the Volcano Lair set. My week is full to bursting.

    I just got mine today. Its a good set overall, but the Dragon Lady figure is a disappointment. clearly they tried printing the yellow face onto the black head and it wasn't thick enough on top of the black base.

    Now we know what the front door should look like. I'm gonna end up with about 3 of these by the time I'm done.Which should give me a nice sized wayne manor and a joker fun park. Since rumor has it that another Lego Batman movie CMF set is coming out next year I hope we get a disco version of Harley to go with the joker one.

    This is really cool. Are you going to build it for real? I'm thinking i might build something similar myself.
  18. turk187
    I think that there is a good chance of recouping for the figs. Usually figs will sell for about 50% percent of the set price. I usually just shoot for about %30 and mine sell faster. I'm thinking of doing the same thing, buy two and a make a plain manor out of one.

    Does anyone know when the next wave of Ninjago movie sets will be released?
  20. turk187
    I saw it late on Saturday. My impression: well, it was a movie. I had some Lego stuff I want to try and build. lots of the clips I've seen weren't in the movie. I've never seen any of the Ninjago series so I don't have that frame of reference. It need more time and effort put into it. felt rushed.
  21. turk187
    Damn you Lego! You keep making stuff i want.
  22. turk187
    I really want one of these, but don't think I'll have the money on VIP day. Plus, If I wait until the official release in October I'll get double VIP points and it looks like some cool promo items might be coming out.

    Cant help you there, just going with the flow. But, they were right about Ninjago City. None of the marketing said August 16th, I asked about it and everyone just seemed to be estimating based on experience. But, someone in this thread mentioned asking about it in store and being told the 14th.
  24. turk187
    Same with Ninjago City. The set always said Sept 1, even though we got the early access. Log into Lego.com on the 14th and theyll have a banner ad that says its available for VIP members. Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it. Whats a kidney worth?
  25. turk187
    Thanks. Colors were based one what I had available at the time. Once everything is blocked out I'll start making final color decisions and Bricklinking what I need.
