    Haven't been told not to share pictures, so I don't see a problem with it. Reviews are allowed to go live at the time of set release, but didn't say anything about mere photos I've got LEGO employees in my friends list who have posted pics since the set was announced so shouldn't be a problem. And yes, my work revolves around high end cars so it comes in handy knowing a lot of Porsche owners for this.

    I built mine last night, pretty cool set. Much larger than I expected, would have thought from pics it was about 25% the size it is. Well worth its retail price imo. I'll share a review when I write one, since most sites will probably be focusing on reviewing the build, the parts, etc, I'll be reviewing it side to side with the real car to give a little bit of a twist on set reviews. :)

    According to Brickset, which I haven't updated my collection there in a year or so, I have 1616 sets. I'm currently 17 years old and have been collecting for my entire life, being raised in a family that also collects LEGO. Many of these sets are shared in our collection. http://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-Meiko According to Brickset I have 1889 minifigures. http://brickset.com/minifigs/ownedby-Meiko

    Mind linking to the store calendars for those who don't know how to find them?

    Brickipedia, BZPower, and occasionally Brickset.

    Brickipedia also has a page with a table of colors, however colors are a fairly neglected area of our site, so it's a bit out of date and probably not as comprehensive as Peeron's. http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Colour_palette

    Brickipedia has a contest this month for Halloween: http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Brickipedia:Halloween_contest

    I think the most common comment I get is "I love LEGO" or "I used to have a lot of LEGO myself" and similar comments.

    LEGO ID has been experiencing intermittent issues the past couple days. This effects LEGO Shop, LEGO.com, ReBrick, LEGO Ideas, LEGO Ambassador Network, among other services. However, it should be resolved before too long.

    If I could take a guess, I'd expect Chrysler didn't want to agree to the license. I'm a Ford guy so the Camaro and Challengers wouldn't do much for me (even though in my other hobby, automotive photography, I got a chance to photograph a Challenger for the first time the other day), but I've always wanted a LEGO Viper ever since the early 2000s.

    I agree with Vorkosigan. Although it could be nice to have Pick-A-Brick cups available online, it would be a fast-track to a financial loss from what I'd presume, and it also would risk detracting from some of the unique incentives that going to a LEGO Brand Retail store offers.

    Finally some American cars! Looking forward to the Mustang. The "Ford F-150 Raptor and Model A Hot Rod" seems like an odd combination though.

    Seem fine for me.

    Why not? LEGO hasn't been exclusively manufactured in one country for a very long time. As stated above, LEGO has been manufactured in China for many years. The Chinese factory is also more advanced than some of the other factories, so more intricate parts and printings have been done in China lately as the other factories aren't (yet) equipped with the ability to mould or print some of these kinds of parts.

    It isn't going to be an SDCC set-- this set is exclusively for this VIP sweepstakes only. Its set number will be 5004590 (Brickipedia link). It contains 311 pieces and will be labeled for ages 16+.

    Looks cool!

    Brickipedia is affected too! http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Brickipedia_News:Disney_purchases_The_LEGO_Group

    Looks like this hasn't been shared yet, but greatballcontraption.com is back up and with a new interface and all.

    The same rules of photography apply in videography. To fix the "too dark" problem, you might want to slow down the video speed, raise the ISO, or lower the aperture (but depending on your focal length, you stand a chance of lessening your depth of field and creating more blur on out of focus objects). For the bluriness you're seeing right now, you might want to use manual focus if you aren't already. It's hard to tell what the camera would have been trying to focus on here, but if you use manual focus, and ideally use a tripod or stand as well, you may see better results with less blur.

    So much for the embargo LEGO had on these images until 2:00pm GMT...

    It's because they're low-resolution JPEGs, presumably for the reason dr_spock mentioned above. I do miss the time when LEGO instructions used vector graphics. It was always cool being able to have logos and graphics in scalable vector graphics by extracting them from PDFs.

    It looks more like a discovery center, or just a LEGO area that's unique to that mall; not quite a discovery center or a LEGOLAND.

    No, it's the RLUG's discretion on who to distribute what to.

    Various registered LEGO User Groups (RLUGs), especially online RLUGs, receive LUG support from the LEGO Group to help in the site's activities. This includes LEGO providing sets, sometimes ahead of their release, for websites to review. Aanchir received some of these sets from The New Elementary, a LEGO blog, and likewise I've also received some from Brickipedia. You can find more information about RLUG support here.
