  1. This is great, the 'Raptor looks like it was snatched right out of Jurassic Park!
  2. Well, when Diagon Alley was released, I felt (and said) that it was the finest LEGO set of any theme ever produced... I will now amend that statement and say that is WAS the finest because this set takes the crown. It's certainly not surprising to me that both sets are DC "Exclusives" or what have you. The larger price point and narrower audience allows for more intricately detailed sets that while being seemingly more "niche" actually end up lending themselves to more crossover appeal. The possibilities that present themselves to Monster/City/Castle/Horror/MOCer/Piece collector fans are nearly endless. I love that the designer wasn’t shy about his love for the Munsters and that the old TV show was clearly his inspiration for the model. As for those that are crying foul because of an apparent “theft”…… Take a look at the “Haunted House” or similar MOCs just available here at EB: Mos_Eisley http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34686&st=0 Mos_Esley 2.0 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34708&st=0 Badsneaker http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37078&st=0 The Brickster http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50053&st=0&p=886456&hl="haunted%20house"&fromsearch=1entry886456 Badsneaker 2.0 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=64696&st=0&p=1169153entry1169153 There is a LOT of commonality in the design/feel/look of these builds, the Victorian architecture, the colors, the gated entrances…. Can we stop looking for cloak and dagger, super sneaky problems and just “enjoy the enjoyment”? *Steps off soapbox*
  3. These are so deliciously ABSURD, I LOVE them. So many great aspects: The return of the OG Ghost, The Hearse, the bowler hat guy on the motorcycle with the fencing foil, Drac's Bride (Her hair!!!)and Castle and GLOW-IN-THE-DARK SKELLY HORSE!
  4. I'd imagine that it's likely a Minas Tirith set could be "multi-scale" similar to the latest Hogwarts Castle set. Looking at it from the exterior it captures the look and feel of the structure and once you flip it around, it is a compartmentalized play set with throne room etc.
  5. I missed the previous droid escape set so I'm excited to get this new one even if it does seem REALLY over priced. that's not the ral nexs though..... I am GEEKED for the Eta-2. The only way it could get better is if it was an all black "Sith Version" for the newly cyborg'd Vader .... That said, the green is amazing, the wild eyed, sick w/guilt and jealousy/overcome by the darkside AniVader head is DAMN nice. Throwing in the final duel Mustafar platforms is just icing on the cake!
  6. Series 7 > Series 4/5 combiined. It seems they hit a little lull and now with 6 and 7 they are stepping up their collective GAME!
  7. Excellent! I love it.
  8. I see what you did there........
  9. It's all a matter of preference but for me, SW and it's no contest.

  13. I'd imagine this theme with be similar to Toy Story.... The first sets based on the franchise as a whole and then follow up sets from the new film. Thoughts?
  14. I let my kids play with all my stuff. No worries, it can be rebuilt (That's part of the fun!!)
  15. Diagon Alley. No contest.
  16. I was going ot ask the same thing...... Anypone ordered from this site? They have a Lego Gift Card deal for 30% of as well.....

  18. I would do horrible things for this Police "Car" http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamesster/Space-Prototypes/5.bmp And of course THIS "Truck" that we were shown before... http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jamesster/Space-Prototypes/4.bmp
  19. I'd love to see it be the POP Alamut. $40 or so for that would be an absolute STEAL!!
  20. I think that it's a safe bet we'll see: TIE {Insert suffix here} X-Wing Millenium Falcon Since it'll be a couple years before we have another anniversary 2012: 10 Years since ATOC and 2013: 30 since ROTJ, no reason they can't focus on ESB for a wile longer..... Lets have some Cloud City love!
  21. #1 - Dash Rendar's Outrider (A proper one) #2 - Anakin's/Vader's (Pre-Mustafar) Sith Star Fighter
