    I'm waiting for official confirmation. Hopefully we see something at SDCC.

    Nothing official from LEGO although there's a lot of people who claim to know something. I'm fine with that but I only put my money down on facts. Hopefully there's some truth to all the rumors.

    Woo-hoo, got the email from S@H that my chess set shipped.

    How much money do you plan on spending on your trip? When is your trip? It looks like you have a lot of really good sets that command higher prices on the aftermarket. You will get the most bang for your buck selling each set individually on eBay. Selling that way is also really time consuming though. If time is an issue, selling bulk would be your best bet, you will get significantly less though over selling the sets individually. If you sell sets individually, I'm interested in a few.

    I would say discussion rather than "argument". It's nothing but a rumor at this point that many of us hopes to be true. Time will tell.

    In 2012, when 6857 - The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape was released, I bought multiple copies of this set for $39.99 and was able to sell the 5 minifigs that came with the set for about $45.00. I did it for about 3 months and amassed a lot of bricks.

    From a From a quick search, I see the Modulars are 16+ and the Death Star (10188) is 12+. My son and his friend built the Death Star when they were 7-yo. I see the age on the box more as a suggestion. Regardless of what the next castle sets are, I'm sure they will find their way into my house.

    Isn't LEGO a toy marketed towards children? Has LEGO ever released a set specifically for adults with an age of 18+ ? I personally never thought about it so I don't know.

    LEGO are overpriced. Quality continues to go down while prices continue to go up. LEGO LotR/Hobbit did not do as well as fans think. New waves would have been released if it was a true success. The same 5-10 people here on EB will argue otherwise. The LEGO Dimensions sets with LEGO LotR builds do not count as new LEGO LotR sets. Chima had 137 sets released. LotR had 16 sets released. That sums up the success of LEGO LotR for me. I can't wait until the last LEGO LotR set retires and LotR is taken off S@H. I'm tired of the re-designs in the LEGO SW line every few years and LEGO SW fans that welcome the updates. I hope LEGO never releases a new UCS Cloud City set. LEGO Pirates is the only reason I still buy LEGO.

    Age of Ultron with the family.

    Fwiw, I had no idea who Kylo Ren was until reading this thread. From watching the trailers, the only people I recognized were the OT characters. I don't know the names of any of the new characters other than Kylo Ren. For this reason, I have decided this is a good time to stay away from the LEGO Star Wars page here at EB.

    The USA has gotten plenty of awesome sales for May the 4th in the past. Yes I'm a little disappointed but I just placed an order for a couple sets I've been wanting for awhile now.

    Everything on this topic are theories. We all have our own theory on LEGO LotR, which we are all entitled to. For every argument for, there is an argument against. LEGO has not announced anything official about LEGO LotR but they have made an official announcement about LEGO Dimensions. I love LEGO LotR and own most of the sets but I personally will not get excited about a line that is driven by a video game.

    Ender's Game with the family. Better than expected.

    Received the Black Seas Barracuda (6285) in the mail today. I'm so excited to build this but I'm going to have to wait until I give the bricks a thorough cleaning since there's quite a bit of dust on the pieces.
  17. Sir_Basil_Ashton
    Thanks DREAMWEB for inspecting your parts, posting the results here and sharing the photos.

    I'm looking to possibly picking up the UCS X-Wing. It'll be a bonus for me if it's part of the sale.

    For me, I see LEGO Dimensions with LEGO Lord of the Rings characters. What will happen when LEGO Dimensions is released? It's my opinion that when these sets are released, when I go to LEGO Shop at Home, I will find the sets with LEGO LotR characters under the theme LEGO Dimensions. When I look at the box of these sets, it will say "LEGO Dimensions". The advertising for this will be under LEGO Dimensions, not LEGO LotR. I can keep going with this but I won't. If LEGO LotR fans want to call these sets new LotR sets, have at it, it's their opinion and they're entitled to it. One question, where is the discussion on LEGO Dimensions taking place at here on Eurobricks? I can't seem to find it under "LEGO Historic Themes".

    Likewise, show me something official that shows it was a success. LEGO never releases that information. All we have are our opinions. My opinion is we'll get a wave of Castle sets before we see another wave of LotR. There's nothing official yet to support my opinion but let's just call it a hunch.

    Outstanding job. I really love the columns of your temple. That white building is a temple, isn't it? There are many details in your MOC that I admire. The contrasts in colors is used well.
  22. Sir_Basil_Ashton
    Brilliant review. I'm inspired to finally open this set and build it. This weekend perhaps.
  23. Sir_Basil_Ashton
    I was surprised to see LotR so prominently in Dimensions. When I look at it though, it's marketed as Dimensions and not LotR. Personally I see this as a sign that despite how poorly the LotR theme performed, LEGO hasn't given up on it yet.
  24. Sir_Basil_Ashton
    I can't really see LEGO making a new wave of a licensed theme that failed.
  25. Sir_Basil_Ashton
    Nice find on this photo and thanks for posting it. Too bad it didn't come with an exclusive minifig.
