    Other than BL, PAB, B&P, clearance set, etc, I have had some good luck buying sets without miniugs for super cheap on ebay, especially IP licensed sets, and especially right after they come out, as that's when the seller can get the most money for the figures and can sell off the remaining parts quickly on the cheap. I've bought multiple copies of Mos Eisley Cantina, Battle on Takodana and the doctor strange set that way.

    I'm collecting parts to add a floor to the Green Grocer, using masonry bricks instead of the grooved ones and 1x4s instead of 1x8s, and even with these substitutions sand green bricks remain CRAZY expensive on BrickLink, despite them being used in a fair amount of recent sets...

    For me the best exclusive set was the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters. Really enjoyed building that with my son, spread over 5 days or so, and it looks great on display. I also liked the Brick Bank a lot, even if it was much too small for its grand design. I got the classic 1966 Batcave as well and while the minifigures were fantastic, the builds ranged from great to very subpar. I didn't get the Disney castle and probably never will, but it does look amazing. Big Ben is still sitting in the box waiting to be built. Favorite big set was Vacation Getaways. Medium sets Corner Deli, Fun in the Park, and Camaro Drag Race. Small sets Ford Mustang and Tire Escape (so hilarious!) Best minifigures were the Cesar Romero Joker from the classic Batcave and the CMF janitor. My favorite themes for the past 2 years have been Creator and Speed Champions. I've been disappointed in DC superheroes, with stuff like mighty micros and Batman v Superman taking away from the regular releases, which had very mediocre vehicle and playset builds this year, though decent minifigures. I think Angry Birds was unnecessary, or at least it wasn't appealing to me whatsoever. I was also disappointed that the Mixer and Ferris Wheel didn't get another set to join them this year. Lots of great new parts this year - baby! hot dog bun! penguin! faun legs! Axl torso! - but for me the 1x2x1 2/3 brick with 4 studs on the side that was introduced with the Brick Bank has proven the most useful.

    With the release of the first 4 Lego Batman Movie sets, we now have all 2016 sets available for sale, so before getting excited about the 2017 releases, I'd like to look back at the past year and hear about everyone's favorites. What did you think were the best and worst sets, broken down in exclusive/D2C/UCS sets, large sets, medium sets, small sets? What were the best/worst minifigures? What was your favorite/least favorite theme? What new part/mold were you most excited about?

    Other than that net launcher thing, that Scuttler thing is fantastic. I'm curious if it has a transformation feature.

    The more I look at it, the more I dislike that blue tower thing.

    I think that looks fake, and Excalibur Batman from the dimensions pack seems to be on there.

    I have mixed feelings about this one. One the one hand, I was wishing for a single large center piece type building. On the other hand, that probably would have made for a pretty boring and repetitive building experience - even if the end result would have been a grand display piece - like Firehouse HQ or (from what I hear) Town Hall and Grand Emporium. This set looks like it will be an amazing build with tons of new parts and past usage, like the last 3 modulars have been. It also kind of reminds me of a Snaillad MOC, and I mean that in a good way. I'll buy it, build it, and keep it on display with the rest of them, but as much as I love the modular line, I wouldn't mind if this is the last one in the series with the way it's trending.

    Maybe he was just giving you a hard time? Maybe don't take it too hard on yourself? I hope the mods intervene in a harsher way if this bickering keeps up.

    According to the guy who told the guy who wrote down something I read, yeah! Rock solid info!

    This was posted by someone on the Lego topic on NeoGaf. Sounds promising!

    Bricklink is great, and absolutely safe and reliable, but addictive, and you wanna make sure you consider shipping costs. There might be several stores that have tan 1x6 bricks for 1 cent, but chances are they only have a couple of them, and you'll need dozens if not hundreds for a big government building. So you'll wanna find a single store that has a good quantity at a reasonable price so you only pay once for shipping.

    I've mentioned it a couple of times. It looks like the Pet Shop is in fact retiring. It was listed as retiring soon on the Korean (iirc) S@H, along with the Sydney Opera House.

    Trial and error, and you might need to get a second (partial) brick bank for extra parts.

    It got buried under the posts that followed, but I mentioned several pages ago that the Korean S@H had the Pet Shop and the Sydney Opera House listed as retiring soon, so yes, it seems like it.

    I didn't see it posted here yet, so FWIW, the Korean S@H has the Pet Shop (and Sydney Opera House) listed as retiring soon... This might really be it for the PS's run, finally.

    GE and TH retired pretty much together.

    Yeah, this is getting ridiculous to the point that it's pretty impossible to follow the thread and discern what is speculation and jumping to conclusions and what is legit info. I wish the mods would intervene.

    I have literally no idea what you are talking about. I'm just gonna wait for someone else to decipher this bunch of hippy dippy baloney.

    Your use of colors and textures/SNOT is just amazing...
  22. BlockLogo
    What are you talking about??

    The brick show is a joke. Last year they kept claiming or at least insinuating that those ridiculous batman beyond and nurse joker figures were official figures. Still, I really hope we get a Killer Croc minifigure...

    I'm kinda baffled that this is taken seriously... A $250 inverted corner building on a 48*32 base??? I guess anything is possible, but this has to be BS.

    It's a Bessa set? Was that known already? That means tons of clever mini builds!
