    I like it, but am slightly disappointed in the Lazarus Pit itself. I think it's a great, small set for what will probably be $40. In sick of vehicle centric sets. Buggy aside, it still looks legit.

    I love the Ras fig. Can't wait to see Talia.

    The Space Slug set is going so high on eBay now. Part of me wants to hold onto it, part of me wants to sell it and go get Assault on Hoth... Any word on the availability of this set? On eBay, a list says only 3500 were made but who knows if that's accurate. My friend at the store said that they were only keeping the sets for that hour event, and after the doors open to customers they are taking their remaining stock and shipping them back. Kind of makes me wonder what will happen in the long run on the aftermarket...

    I was just about to post this: http://imgur.com/8oiawdT http://imgur.com/GjAGABb Sorry for not posting it earlier, I cropped out my store address. I just don't want to get my pals in trouble.

    I'm on the West Coast in the US, but the last time I got an invitation like this it was for a double VIP point and Gingerbread House event for the Holidays. The store opens an hour early for VIPs with those invitations. This is plastered with May the 4th branding (oddly) and the invitation also mentions the Stormtrooper minifig promotion. Release party was probably a poor choice of words.

    A free set and poster with purchases of $150 or more while supplies last The poster is awesome as well. It's very simple and elegant in design, not a typical Lego poster.

    The pictures were employees only, from a manual that seemed to be printed and stapled for the whole event. Only two pictures, one of the box and one of the set. I think it said 160 pieces? It's small. The Falcon in the set looks similar to the Advent Calendar one, to give you an idea of scale. I would take a picture but it has the store info on it.

    Just got an invitation to a Hoth Base release party at my local store. My buddy showed me pictures of the exclusive set and poster they're giving away to people who spend $150 or more. EXOGORTH. WE ARE GETTING A MINI SPACE SLUG!

    I was content to sit that one out, but after getting the Silver centurion I took the plunge. The Iron Skull minifig is pretty good, the build of the sub is decent. The teeth up front are fun to construct, but it doesn't make sense for a sub to have a tiny cockpit and a big compartment for prisoners. But I like it alright.

    Holy jeez, that's awesome! ...wanna trade for a Silver Centurion? :p just kidding not trying to break rules

    My god, man, this is a great mod. Like poster above said, I appreciate the build more after getting it but this is MUCH cooler

    I am guilty of that as well, haha. I modify nearly every Robin, change plastic man's hair, and even made a Wonder Girl from WW torso, red legs, and Friends hair. If I changed it from blonde to black, it'd go from a decent N52 Wonder Girl to a great Classic Donna Troy, but I need that star design for my girl Donna if I'm gonna MOC her I wonder how much it would cost to BrinkLink all of the 67 minifigs...

    Yeah, I actually got my first one at a different GameStop and only got more because my Lego Store pal missed out. He hooks me up all the time, only fair to do the same. It's one of those times where you don't want to get away from the Sprawl /arcadefirereference

    I don't really mind the different "universes"/versions of characters, because honestly some character designs are better than others. Finally buckled and bought the Bat Cave (or should I have said "caved in"?) I have only built the first three sets of bags but I really love this set. At first I was on the fence due to the nature of these separate components hooking together, but I honestly think it works after getting the Study and Firepolls section done. Plus I finally have Bruce and Alfred minifigs (and Grayson!) although I do wish these characters resembled their comic book parts, but I enjoyed the 66 version when I was a kid so I'm not too disappointed. My minifig collection is nearly complete (in my eyes). Just need those Croc and Scarecrow figs!

    Exactly. They had a box of about 15-20 left, as well as some Mad Max hot wheels cars (got 2 of those). I think it's because the area I work in has two GameStops right next to each other; in a mall and a stand alone. I'm trading it to my boss, the comic book shop I work at on Wednesdays. I don't mind because we help each other out all the time. He sold me a Temple of Doom set brand new. The box was open, all bags were sealed. Got it insanely cheap, as well as Raiders opening scene and the Wolverine Chopper Showdown with Deadpool at crazy low rates. He deserves the Centurion in my eyes! Also giving another to my friend at the Lego Store because he's awesome and missed out, too. Edit: sorry, don't want to give my exact location away, I have employee friends I don't want to get in trouble (probably just me being paranoid) but I live in a suburban sprawl surrounding a major city. There are TONS of GameStops here.

    after befriending a nearby GameStop employee, I snagged 3 more Silver Centurion polybags (they had a ton left over) and the Jurassic World polybag. Going to trade that last one to a friend for a Martian Manhunter New 52 polybag

    I really enjoy the aesthetic of the show but for some reason I've never gotten into it. I don't tend to watch cartoons unless it's a binge from time to time, and AT seems daunting. That said I'm excited to see a fresh new license come in a unique form. Can't wait to see some photos and box art of the retail builds.

    Alright, LEGO, we are ready for that 4th set now plz

    I picked up a few of the Mighty Micros from the Lego Store. I just stopped by to speak with friends. I guess they were doing an event, they had displays and tracks out for kids to race sets. They said that's why they're on sale before the other sets release March 1. Not sure if it was a branch thing or if all stores were doing this.

    I have to cast myself with the lot of "no other Hoth sets" collectors but this still leaves some to be desired. No structure to the myriad elements, no Leia minifig, Wampa cave—I could go on. It feels like something similar to the Ewok village, not a UCS set. However I will still be purchasing on day one haha.
  21. Joschmidt33
    I tend to lean toward the comics variants, so I might switch this updated version's head with the polybag version with the domino mask. I really like that Winter Soldier version.
  22. Joschmidt33
    Do you happen to know where that hint was? Sorry if it's been posted already, just wanted to see for myself.
  23. Joschmidt33
    Awesome news/rumor about Raven. I've been lurking long enough to trust J2G's hints. Wondering about the TT Go version, as that will be the sole character inspired by those designs. Now just waiting on Saturn Girl!
  24. Joschmidt33
    I also collect wax! My local Lego Store puts out new inventory every Tuesday. Can't wait to see what they have tomorrow. Maybe not everything, but hopefully either the Panther Jet or Airport sets.

    I absolutely love this wave of Spider-Man releases. The villains are great, and at the rate they're pumping them out I'd not be surprised if we get the Lizard and Mysterio next year. I'm a little gutted that it's not Spider-Gwen, but to go with a deep cut like Ultimate Jessica Drew is wonderfully surprising. Maybe we can get a regular Spider-Woman next year, her new redesign is different enough from the SDCC exclusive. Btw, hi everybody! (Hi dr Nick)
