The Middleman

Well, things like this and the star destroyer aren't made to 'swoosh', you know. :P

I guess the thinking is: 'if they don't have Vikings, they don't need oceans.' :|

I'm just astounded at how they managed to overlook the entire AFOL community in one of the biggest decisions in LEGO history. I didn't think it would be possible. Oh well, it's water under the bridge. Good to hear they're sorry, at least.

Hey, are Vikings in there? (by the way, are those invitations up for grabs? *wink wink nudge nudge*)

Don't you? Vikings, with the first real ships in a long time, being released in stores in Europe, and now this water baseplate, rereleased only in Europe...

Well, just got this set, love the new figs! :-D A bit disappointed by the little control room, but that was expected. The little carrier thing is kind of nondescript, and the shuttle is, well, the shuttle. Built it before. :/ Still, worth it for the figs alone!

You were at Toy Fair!? :oo Did you get pics of any other LEGO?

Damn, I need a few of those. Hopefully it'll come to the US too!

I hate spam. Get Gmail!

I hope things like Vikings aren't under the category of the 'exotic' sets being dropped - historical sets are great! And I don't think LEGO will license a TV show after Galidor, especially after saying they're dropping all licenses.

Assassin, I have to agree, but look at Brickmaster - if a member becomes annoying, something is done about it and they quiet down... :^D I, too, love the Cemetery Duel. Great set - and 548 pieces for $40! :oo I might get a couple!

So do the people that have this think it's worth $50, or should I wait until bargain? (it's at my local TRU) Oh, and does anyone want to trade their new stormies for some normal troopers? :-D

no bricklink is not cheaper than TLC, no doubt about it, at least if you buy entire sets. And for rare minifigs and rares pieces, its much more expensive than TLC *cough* Falcon Leia *cough* :-D I don't use Bricklink for precisely that reason. I'll have to, soon, though - rebuilding all my old sets!

Wow, that's a wicked box! I just might pick this up. :-D

I hate this whole regional thing, it'll totally split up the community. Not to mention, prices skyrocketing on eBay and Bricklink for regional sets. BAD IDEA.

The movies, I think, is where they will stop, because the EU market for kids is next to nothing.

I don't know about them killing the 'exotic' themes, I actually like those. Lots of fun pieces and buildings. As for Star Wars and Harry Potter, I think they'll follow both to their end. After all, only 2 waves of Harry Potter sets after this one, and they probably sell very well.

Looks good, but not good enough for the price and the stickers.

DAMN! If Venom is the next villain, we would've gotten a Venom minifig. :/ With all the new stuff they're doing, they'd probably have done some good city buildings as well. Oh well. :'(

Hey now, be a little less blunt. Everyone has their own opinions.

Can we have hints ? :D That's classified information. *glasses* Seriously though, I do layout and minor web design for small companies in my state. Anywhere from $100-$900 a job.

I do some odd jobs that pay well. :-D I'm disappointed for a few reasons: - The thread, at least for me, twirls up, which is annoying. - The crane doesn't extend without extreme effort. - Mine was missing a piece. |-/ - Two figs.

Waaaaaaaaay too many stickers. As an aside; I got my XXL Mobile Crane in (disappointed, to tell you the truth), and reviews with pics will be up by tomorrow night. Right now, I'm playing with my new Millennium Falcon! Got it today on a whim, and it's AWESOME. :-D

Welcome aboard, me hearty! :^D

You can build a much more powerful computer with PC components. And don't paint out Windows as a computer supplier - they just make the operating system. The main problem with Apple computers is twofold: 1) they can't be upgraded as easily as PCs can, and 2) a lot of programs don't support Mac. But I like my iPod. ;)
