What piece is that in front of the tractor? Is that new?

To be fair to those who didn't know, that set was released in 2010. Not everyone had been collecting LEGO sets since 2010. With regards to the trailer., It's great to see more Death Troopers having more presence in the Star Wars universe and not just in Rogue One.

Hey WhiteFang. I did the unthinkable and bought a box of LEGO Batman movie CMF due to the fact that within 1 hour of its release all the Batman variants were gone. Fortunately I have to share 2 sets with a friend so it's not that bad. It's just alarming that because of the 54% price hike (where I usually buy in the region), a box of 60 already costs about the price of a UCS and much more expensive than any modular except the latest one. I have never bought a box so small and yet that expensive. It just horrified me as I drive home. I hope this pricing is only a one-off exercise for a "limited release" licensed CMF series. Where I buy, the top 3 unpopular ones seems to the the Zodiac Master, Mime and Commissioner Gordon. March Harriet, Orca and Vacation Batman seems to be the favourites though it seems all Batman variants are popular.

...there's just so much to digest in the mid-season trailer... I'm speechless!

Indeed it feels a faster loading pages.

That part about the announcement is easier to spot in my local theater because they put subtitles for local language. It's harder to spot Chooper because he is in the lower left corner of the screen and he moves quickly off screen in less than 1 second.

LOL. Barney? Yes, this is more appropriate. They can add some sand green spots but I think majority of Bossk colour should be dark tan.

I always wanted to get a big Castle set that I could only look at the catalogs back in early 90's. My LEGO sets were mostly sent from the US as gifts since we have relatives there. Back home my parents would only get me small to medium-size sets, sparingly, and most of the times they were City (Town). Until today I haven't had a chance to own a big castle set because when I returned from my dark ages, the last proper castle had already been cleared from all the stores around me -- and I am not willing to pay for scalper price. Nevertheless I'm fine with what I have today because as the old adage says, good things come to those who wait.

I'm so glad that Bossk is coming in a battle pack. I hope we get a different head colour because I believe sand green is NOT the right colour for his head.

It's always good to have a Cole polybag because Cole's torso is the most versatile of all the Ninjas because it is black -- you can put Cole in any MOC and he looks like a common ninja wearing black. Also, that polybag has nice parts. I'll get it when there's opportunity. :)

Totally understandable. I'm fine whether you divulge info or stop hinting. Having known 4 out of 16 minifigures isn't bad before we close 2016.

Just bought the Imperial trooper battle pack. This is just one set... But I will get more when this goes in sale.

I like these vignettes. The style for 2017 seems to include several plates that has smaller builds on them?

If we go back to the first page, it is already mentioned that the UCS Snowspeeder is scheduled on May 2017 so I am keeping my hopes low to get the UCS MF. There are 4 confirmed sets from the first page also as there are new leaks - 75182 Republic Fighter (Aayla, clone trooper, 2 battle droids) 75183 Darth Vader Transformation 75185 Tracker 1 (which looks like TIE Phantom just with a different cockpit) 75186 Arrowhead

I'm also thinking along this line because it's been awhile since they have updated Mindstorms ... ... or it could be a totally different product line that uses sensors?

Yes @VaderFan2187 happened to me too.

Really sad news but now she is one with the force and the force is with her... May the force be with you, Princess.

This is related to collecting Star Wars Rebels... I missed out on the Ghost because it wasn't in my priority list. I already have every main characters in SW Rebels except Zeb and I'm almost ready to Bricklink Zeb.... Should I even hope that Zeb will be included in a new set?

It was mentioned in the Reddit thread so thanks for adding the picture. Frankly I didn't bother about that mountain in the sticker because Ninjago Island is quite mountainous as well so I initially thought it could be just another mountain but upon closer look you'll see it is split into two... so it is most definitely Sentai Mountain.

So according to the Reddit thread, Exo Force is considered a spiritual successor. We don't need to be a detective to see there is a connection somehow. There is no list how each theme could be related but I can see that on how each Ninja has their own colour scheme and their old master wears white. Both themes also feature only 1 girl in the main characters roster. Even the inspiration is kinda similar. Exo-Force was inspired by mech & anime like Gundam while Ninjago is inspired by Ninja and Samurai. Clearly, both themes were inspired by Japanese culture and arts. I'm sure there are more... So, when one of the designers dropped that easter egg in Salvage Mech I was not surprised. I actually hope they do more of these easter eggs because not only it pays homage to old themes, it also enriches your imagination how those themes could be related.

This is per Lego's Twitter page, as well as being near the tenth time this has had to be restated. I think I might just need to requote my post from the 23rd daily for the next week-and-a-half in order to make it absolutely clear for everyone. And yes, that includes the Rogue One sets. I'm so used to waiting sets arrive late in Asia for several months after it is released in the US that having some themes arrive here earlier than expected is a welcome change. That said, I don't see anything wrong if Star Wars is delayed until March 2017.

I know the differences between LCS and LBR too but I can't find in the blog post where it mentions LCS and LBR stores can exist in the same country. Which country is that?

I will definitely miss Sensei Wu if he ever say goodbye for the last time like Obi Wan... I would say there is pretty good chance he will find his match soon because I cannot count how many times he was captured or imprisoned by enemies in the show and even in the books and LEGO sets. Just like how many fans wanted Sensei Garmadon to stay alive, I think that time will eventually come when he has to pass the responsibility to Lloyd or whoever is going to replace his role.

The wings need to be spread outward so that it can move easier in the atmosphere. If its wings are retracted it can travel hyperspace easier. I noticed this while watching the movie. Look out for the the scenes when the U-Wing needs to do sharp turns in the atmosphere, its wings are spread out, even just momentarily.

It's actually good news that they are reducing stickers on set. As for me who owns the Cantina set, it's definitely a miss. I'm sure I'll get that new Han hairpiece one way or another, but definitely not from the new Luke's Speeder set.
