  1. Must... resist... urge to buy...
  2. Twenty bucks for a shadowtrooper AND the new stormtrooper helmets? Sign me up.
  3. Anyone else have slightly warped plates? My assembled base is a bit wobbly...
  4. Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but the glue on one of my Maersk stickers is failing and it is falling off. Anyone know of a way to fix and reuse it? New sheets are like $50+ on eBay/Bricklink.
  5. Yeah I'll be buying this day one.
  6. Sold out, go figure.
  7. Anyone been able to find these at TRU? I found a listing on the website earlier but that looks to have vanished, and when I went to the store they couldn't even find these in their systems.
  8. Hope this gets funded!
  9. Gave it a try. Still need to find the rest of the pieces (sorry for the poor image quality!).
  10. Have: S7 Daredevil S7 Bagpiper Disney Genie Disney Minnie Want (priority in bold): Disney Buzz Lightyear S7 Geisha S2 Mariachi S9 Chicken Suit S3 Gorilla Suit Thanks
  11. My Alice was missing a cookie (if anyone is willing to sell me one please let me know!).
  12. Thanks. Ordered a few.
  13. Anyone know of our best options for getting these in the US? eBay prices are absurd at the moment.
  14. Toys R Us got 8 boxes on Saturday and sold out in a matter of hours. No clue when they're supposed to get more. Target/Walmart etc. nowhere to be found (whether because they don't have them or sold out already, who knows). Yep.
  15. Eh, EVERY new set tends to sell out online for the first week or two. Not surprised. I still plan on picking up this set but I'll probably wait until a VIP offer, they'll probably do quite a few more production runs.
  16. On closer inspection I'm 90% certain those are diamonds as I suspected they might be. I don't have any trans-red ones to confirm but once I get some in I'll try them out. That's another one of those pieces that is there, but not in that screengrab. I'll have to grab a pic of the next scene with the pipes and launchers (and CS logos!) visible.
  17. The launchers are there, hard to see in that pic but you can see them in the following scene.
  18. Hello fellow EB'rs, I'm a huge fan of both Classic Space and TLM, as well as a nut for screen-accurate props. The Lego Movie of course makes building props from the film even more exciting. Anyway... a lot of the sets in the film are scaled up (especially the Sea Cow), however Benny's spaceship is pretty much identical in the film and in the produced set - though there are a few slight differences: Here is the ship as it appears in the film: Benny's Spaceship: TLM version by cinderbike, on Flickr And here's my copy, after assembly and staged about the same: Benny's Spaceship - Production version by cinderbike, on Flickr Benny hasn't quite built the hoses yet, but as you can see the 2 big differences I noticed were the construction of UniKitty's pod and the position of the front-most wing tips. Converting the set to appear as it does in the movie as actually pretty easy. In the film Unikitty's pod lacks the missile launcher, and instead uses 1x1 round trans-red pieces (they might actually be diamonds or another piece, but it's hard to tell with the glow) and a few odds and ends in lieu of the launcher pieces. Secondly, the apparatus that holds her in is more simplified in the production set. In the set, the droid torso more of less just holds her down by the tail, whereas in the film a 1x1 clip and a couple of battle droid arms are used in addition to actual lock down onto the stud between her tail and head. All of these parts are fairly easy to find, here is my tweaked version (I need to BrickLink some droid arms in light bley, but you get the idea): Hope this helps anyone else wondering how close to the film our ships are!
  19. Spiffy. Love it.
  20. Got mine on Saturday (3 days early!) and put it together that afternoon. A truly awesome work, great job Peter and Mark. I plan on doing the 3L bar trick as well, and possibly reworking the canopy, as those pieces seem prone to falling off - no way would this set survive playability with a young child. I love it, anyway. And you just know this had to happen:
  21. That would be nice. :)
  22. Set now shows as Sold Out and unavailable for purchase in the US shop. Hope everyone who got one was able to.
  23. Mine shipped over the weekend but estimated delivery is August 11th. Can't wait!
