Lordhelmet

Thanks I finally found it!

Ok currently building minis tirith (slowly) - I do love the re-use of the windows from Neuschwanstein. real question though, where are the capes for the minifigures? I have not been able to find them and wondering if they are just in a later box or if Lego did not add them to my set.

Nice, I hadn’t seen that one yet but admittedly don’t pay much attention to ninjago. Thanks.

Going for all the minifigs in this theme. Love the sets overall and the second wave has helped (whish they could do more from the anime too, I want all the straw hats but hopefully Netflix catches up over the next decade and we keep seeing sets). any suggestions on improving the mini figs with legs with prints or other mods?

Nice, they shipped mine today (ordered at midnight June 1st) looking forward to it

I am happy with the new molds they prioritized , would have liked anduin but not at the expense of another new mold. GWP is probably the best one so far (although i do like the fell beast) hoping it doesn’t end here (looking for hints at what’s next in the set when I build it next month - shire and minis tirith were both teased in barad dur) also I really want some battle packs with Gondor soldiers

Ground looks great plus two orcs is nice!

Starship Collections wishlist (in order) 1) ISD 2) Lucrehulk 3) Sand Crawler 4) Nubian royal starship 5) Consular Class Light Freighter 6) MTT (phantom menace) 7) C-9979 Landing Craft 8) AAT 9) AT-ST

update, the old Bib headpiece looks better, except that the new face has two prints and the old mold does not cover the back. Looks great from the front, terrible from the back.

Happy I stayed up to order the Sail Barge on the 4XVIP promotion, it is showing sold out in the US this morning. Sucks for anyone trying to get the first and potentially only deal on that set.

I hope we get it before then, an official reveal with a few weeks to plan would be way better than last year.

hoping it is the same print for both that they just call IG-11, would hate a new molded head for IG-88 behind a $? pay wall for a super star destroyer

Has anyone swapped the Princess Leia legs from the UCS sail barge with an older one? Same question for Bib's head. Thinking it would be worth swapping both of those.

Just here to complain that we really could use a remake of the tie advanced, and an imperial AT-ST and we got the smart play versions.

Grond! With minifigures, awesome

Still looks good. I saw the poster of the pictures mention that there would be a GWP, so hopefully we find that out in the next few weeks and get the official reveal/price (I am still worried it will be more than $650)

Agreed, we had the awesome lars kitchen, then a step backwards with the Death Star, then two great years, and now this. I think this should have been tied to a set (like the other lightsabers). There is always next year. I am disappointed by the rumored discounts. I will be picking up the Sail Barge at 4x VIP (would have preferred 20%, but at least this gets me closer to a good discount on the Death Star). Wish there were some actual sales though. At least 2xVIP looks more extensive than last year.

True thankfully other retailers had lots of sales, but Lego had very few. I spent very little collectively last year at may the 4th and Black Friday at Lego because of the lack of sales, hoping for something better this year (for both)

N1 looks like a good set, but just not interested in more Mando stuff given the past 5 years with so much unexplored. GWPs are meh, the dark saber looks good, just not interested in the set (wasn't interested in any of the lightsaber hilts personally), miss the poly bags with a minifigure for a gwp. My real question is when do you think we will get info on sales/discounts. Last year in the US was super disappointing for sales (I think only two sets had them). Hoping the Sail Barge finally gets a discount, isn't it supposed to retire this year?

Ya last year was disappointing. I know the gwp was good but I sold mine, I think I picked up the u wing and some smaller sets for my kids then because there were not any good sales. Hoping this year is different and we see double points on everything, and as I mentioned hoping for the ucs sail barge to go on sale. If the gwp is the dark saber I am a little bummed, the last few gwps have been really good. Sales are not great, but I still go to pick up sets for my kids even if I don’t buy anything. My kids tried out the smart play sets in the store (and enjoyed them) but are still asking for regular sets so we will see. (My youngest wants the cantina even if it does t have a smart brick) I pre ordered the x-wing (had a crazy good promotion where I got $60 for spending $100 at Lego). I also got the starship AT-AT. I’m interested in the AT-AT and the shuttle but am only a maybe as I don’t want more grogus and mandos. I do like zeb (but not the set), and the Vader bust is cooler than I thought it would be. Most likely I have bought the only sets coming out this year that I will purchase (unless I decide to grab the Vader bust if it’s on sale as an impulse buy) they should have done a tie avenger

Good to see the tie avenger support is still strong. 18+ sets are good but i stand by the argument that balance is better for these Mando and grogu have been in too many sets the past five years for this wave to all have them again (would’ve nice if more emphasized other characters without including mando and grogu) what are we thinking May the 4th will be like this year? I am hoping for a discount on the sail barge (also if they had one on the Death Star I’ll be spending way too much)

After watching a bunch of smart brick reviews, I am curious that if the sound functions are stored in the figs/tiles, how hard it would be for someone to create their own tiles that had good sounds. The brick looks capable of making good sounds, so wouldn’t it just knowing how to program an rfid tile to make an accurate sound out of an 8 bit synthesizer? It would actually make the smart brick looks capable kinda cool (that and doing mocs to fit it into good looking builds with functionality)

Just built the Sauron helmet. Looks awesome, it was my first helmet build and so I was impressed (but have not built other helmets). Having another Sauron minifigure is nice too and the inclusion makes the set fee worth it. Fun build and looks cool. hope they do some more of these helmets with minifigure combos forLOTR.

Agreed, would also like the official costs, heard $650 (cannot imagine Lego doing $600) hoping it sticks there.

Fair, hoping we get something early given the Minas Tirith leak we received early, but I suppose I will have to wait.
