    No prints on the sides of legs?!? Seriously though - one of the best figs this year IMO.

    Which is actually a good thing, in my opinion. Kids can have MCU Spider-Man in cheaper set that BTW has a lot of playability, while many of us, including me, will be perfectly fine with just buying the larger set. I'd rather pass on the Bank Robbery than being "forced" to buy it only for Shocker, for example.

    Seems like TLG spent all their money on TLBM minifigs.

    My thoughts exactly. But I guess we all agree that releasing all-new characters as SDCC exclusives is kinda cruel. I couldn't care less for other incarnations of Captain America, I can even live wihout symbiote Spider-Man. But come on, Spider-Woman and Phoenix, or The Collector... that hurts. Someone should forbid that.

    I'm really disappointed with Marvel this year. Guess I got spoiled after last year's wave. The Bridge Battle was simply a perfect set, but even in smaller ones we got so many new characters in 2016! Now looks like TLBM have it all. And the worst thing is that Vulture looks rubbish with these out of scale wings, Iron Man is just... another Iron Man, and I couldn't care less about these masked robbers. The smaller set will be the first Spider-Man set I won't buy. Pity. Waiting for Thor sets, or Marvel D2C that was rumoured some time ago.

    Did I get it well that there are two bikes coming next year? First BMW (black?) one and the second is blue dirtbike as described by CM4Sci?

    Great picture. Eiffel Tower seems to dwarf The Disney Castle though, not to mention Haunted House. Still, The Castle seems to be the most interesting build of the three and it's certainly the best looking one.

    He looks like a bum but I like it! Actually this costume isn't so far out like Electro was, in relation to comics. A minifig could be something in between. Would be great.

    Impressive this black shuttle is.

    I have exactly the same issue.

    Excellent, spotless review. I'm in love with this monster ever since I first saw videos from Toy Fair in Nuremberg. This is easily my favorite Technic set to date in terms of looks. Raw power, no compromise (well, it could be minifig scale, but then it wouldn't even support its own weight I suppose). The build is long and satisfying. I'm now finishing it and I can't wait to see how it works, even though I realize it's awfully slow. Anyway, it seems to be much better choice than overpriced and overhyped Porsche. It's an interesting machine and a surprising choice for a flagship model, which makes it even more desirable in my opinion.
  12. Alonzo Brickovsky
    I have a solution for you. Buy it along with Doctor Strange set and you have free shipping included.

    Fantastic video! What a piece of artwork this Castle is. And what a nostalgic trip. I just can't wait... but I have to
  14. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Well, it all depends what you like. Because for Technic, Marvel, Disney and Creator fans it was a great year. Not to mention Ghostbusters which came as a total surprise... For me personally, Elves also is a strong theme and I'm now very close to buying Ragana's Castle. Star Wars fans, well... you've had enough great sets in last 17 years. You are all too spoiled

    I'm not much of a Technic guy, but so far the build is fascinating and it already looks bigger than in pictures. The completed base is enough to get an idea. I believe that BWE and Porsche are very much targeted at non-Technic audience who like large builds and outside looks, whether they're large and beautiful (Porsche) or large, raw and industrial like BWE.

    The Castle looks incredible next to Orthanc, Big Ben and GB HQ. As a standalone model it's going to look even more impressive. I hope it sells like 10188 and then it might be the beginning of something more, whether it's next D2C or just regular theme. I wish a huge income for TLG and more sets for myself :)
  17. Alonzo Brickovsky
    It's so funny. They didn't even use some slopes and tiles to get it more round and smooth, like they would have done with any new set of this proportion. The only good thing about this, is that now the chances for remaking UCS Falcon seem real.
  18. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Wow. Your comment hyped me even more than I am now, which is hard to imagine. I love how the Castle looks, but to be honest, I wasn't expecting such an interesting build judging only by pictures. Can somebody post a picture of the Castle next to GB HQ or some other large D2C?
  19. Alonzo Brickovsky
    It's unfair comparison as the Disney Castle has a whopping 5 minifigures instead of 24... but yeah, there's no way that any other theme is going to beat SW pricing.
  20. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Definitely not. No cheese slopes there.
  21. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Some new pictures from Lego Store building? Please?
  22. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Ant-Man was around like 5-6 months? And we have 2 months left until October.
  23. Alonzo Brickovsky
    I'll be Double Upset if they do release some exclusive polybag to go only with the castle, and it won't coincide with Double VIP. But... Mr. Freeze was added to all orders above certain amount, wasn't it?
  24. Alonzo Brickovsky
    Arocs has only 100 pcs more than 42009... not 1200
  25. Alonzo Brickovsky
    I don't think they will beat this anytime soon, it's sort of an experiment to drag new AFOLs into Technic... like with Porsche, only the latter is also experiment with how far can they go with the pricing. But if 42055 sells better than Arocs and Claas... who knows.
