    Yep. Oh, and I just noticed Hibbert's x-ray tile looks slightly off-white. I think it might be glow in the dark!

    To clarify, the following pieces are printed: Squishee cups Chef Lonelyheart's Soup for One cans Buzz Cola cans Pop-tab tiles on top of cans Krusty-O's boxes Springfield Inquisitor magazine Mom Monthly magazine Angry Dad comic book You're A-Peeling valentine Let's Bee Friends valentine Springfield Shopper newspaper Chocolate milk cartons ATM console Everything else (aside from pre-existing prints, of course) is a sticker.

    There are a lot of stickers, but nowhere near a new record - there are also something like thirteen new prints, not counting minifigs.

    "But she's got a new hat!"

    I don't know if you noticed, but if you look really closely you'll see that behind the minifigures there is a 2000+ piece set, so if I had to venture a guess I'd say that's what much of the €200 pays for.

    August release, mid-July VIP early access.

    A little over nine months from announcement to release, same as the Exo-Suit.

    Yeah, I thought that might be brought up, so I should have added that the general rule seems to be the closer a theme is to the present-day real world, the less violent the theme can be. The Simpsons may be a cartoon, and an occasionally very outlandish one at that, but the setting is more or less in the here and now. Indiana Jones, being set in WWII era, seems to be as recent as TLG is willing to go in depicting realistic firearms. I'm sure someone can dig up another counterexample, but generally guns are only seen in historical settings or ones with a significant sci-fi and/or fantasy element.

    Star Wars also features fictional and/or technologically impossible weapons.

    Unfortunately, no. Just that it's Bart.
  12. tafkatb
    Yes.
  13. tafkatb
    It's Bart.

    So, you can't tell from the picture, but the Easter set contains seven dark red masonry bricks. It's seeming like they're intentionally working rare parts into these builds, which makes me excited for whatever the next holiday sets will bring.

    The monster also wasn't lumbering, green-skinned, and subverbal, nor was he ever even referred to as a "monster." You can't exactly argue that the previous versions have been "true to the characters" either. Personally, if I have to choose between two figures that are already complete bastardizations of the character anyway, I'd rather take the one with a guitar.

    You might be surprised just how big a convenience store can be...

    There will be another retro minifig promo for 2015, but I doubt it'd be another Classic Space fig. Classic pirate seems more likely to me.

    I suspect any official reveal will be at SDCC at the soonest.

    Does anyone have both the Hulkbuster and Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas? I want to see what the Bat-Mech and Hulkbuster look like side by side.

    US price for the Hydra fortress is definitely $49.99.

    Release is still quite a ways off; I wouldn't expect anything for at least a few months.

    The Chanel suit is exactly what I'm hoping for. Also wondering if Marge might get a long coat variant in the Kwik-E-Mart like she wore in the episode where she accidentally shoplifted.

    Designers get a limited number of recolors for each set. That piece already existed in blue but didn't exist in red, so presumably there just wasn't room in the budget to recolor it.

    Interesting new piece - check out the spinner rack in front of the kiosk and the countertop in front of the mirror in the dressing room. A 1x1 round tile with an extension that holds accessories like hair bows and sunglasses!

    March 1st. Should start showing up in LBR stores middle of next week or so though; I don't think it's a hard launch.
