    Think I'll need to swap the shells for the cartoon version from the other Turtles sets. Otherwise...not too shabby really, it's not POTC cheap cash in quality.

    Are you new to planet Earth? Of course not...

    It's all about size for me! Love the huge sets - something like the sand crawler, full of features, figures and just dazzling on display. I'll get smaller sets for the minifigs but it's the big sets that stay. Think there is something so impressive about these giant vehicles (or locations) rendered in lego form. Larger sets can show more flair - clever building techniques and the like That said - if I'll be getting a great figure I'll be buying a set...

    Couldn't resist the absurdly over priced shredder lair set. Just adore the colour scheme and the foot clan banners

    I play a sort of 'survival of the fittest' regime. I buy everything in the (many) themes I love - display them all and then when the next wave comes out the sets that have grown on me the least are sold - and the process resumes. I like to think it results in the best of both worlds - I always have space and what's on display is the absolute best lego has produced (so right now, loads of giant UCS stuff)

    Champing at the bit for this. I think we can safely assume VIP's can get it 2 weeks early, so a month to go?

    Hats off @ShrikeArghast - we beat bullies by standing our ground. I would be truly honoured if someone built and enjoyed a model I made.

    Amazing set - I feel privileged to be able to add it to my collection. People moaning about the definition of UCS suddenly makes lego look very nerdy - please...try and maintain your self respect, if not for yourselves but the rest of us? Under £0.10 per brick so the price is good to excellent.
  9. TheBrickHitHouse
    Awesome - but isn't the pearl gold a bit too prominent? Otherwise, excellent design work
  10. TheBrickHitHouse
    To all those that moan about prices I'd just ask you consider a few things: 1) is it not better that a set exists than not exist? One can always save up - but one cannot dream a set into reality 2) just because you can't afford it doesn't mean this forum isn't filled with people that can. Don't spoil our enjoyment wit your jealousy. Why not harass people on an Aston Martin forum instead... 3) why would lego ever listen to your moaning when it is directed in such an absurd way? You are angry this set exists?!

    I assume it falls in the usual two UCS (May and September) routine we've seen for a while from Star Wars (X Wing and Ewok in 2013 and so on). Can't wait - sold the old sandcrawler to free up space. The design really shows up the original... On another topic, Didn't notice the jawas weren't wearing capes but I don't think they did in the film?

    Combines superb accuracy with that delightful 'lego-feel' of a SYSTEM set allowing it to be both a toy and 'sculpture'. Lego: let me buy this NOW!
  13. TheBrickHitHouse
    Holly hell I mean... That's incredible! That's as if Lego...wanted to make us...happy? I need to go have a sit down to recover.
  14. TheBrickHitHouse
    Well... Lego have to up their game on these Marvel and DC sets. I'm sure there must be teams at lego that work on different projects - the guys that 'designed' this need to talk to the guys that make the Star Wars sets (who seem to get the whole 'inspiration' bit) Was even printed legs too much effort? I'd expect more from a kinder egg toy...
  15. TheBrickHitHouse
    Glorious set - huge and virtually impossible to actually display - just the way I like my lego sets! Real bargain too - a star wars set of the same pieces would be £100 more... Set manages to really capture that sense of fun lego can have
  16. TheBrickHitHouse
    Love the summer Movie sets - some good pics and I was sold A little saddened we don't get the batplane...how can we get batman in a set but not a set that was so prominent in the trailer....
  17. TheBrickHitHouse
    XMen figures are a bit...lazy. Star Wars figures are mind blowing and the X Men ones just seem a bit...phoned in. Cyclops anyone?
  18. TheBrickHitHouse
    Why does Lego include one figure without printed legs in seemingly each set? Does the money just run out - why all but one? It's annoying as it looks like different styles.
  19. TheBrickHitHouse
    Awesome figures - just 'wow', those B Wing figures...speachless Why does every fig have leg printing - but the snow trooper? How does the AT AT pilot get leg printing but not the snowtrooper - did the money run out at that exact moment?! Most of the sets look sensational - the millenium falcon-esque Rebels ship is glorious, wonder what the opening sections are for. The snowspeeder looks to be the best yet, the Cantina is great and Jek's ship and the B Wing are just lovely. We'll need some much better picture of the ISD and AT AT to make any call - the AT AT appears to have an empty interior? The ISD interior is a bit facical but I'll settle for the figures.
  20. TheBrickHitHouse
    Just gorgeous - was worried the Toy Fair version was the final one! I'd have liked the doors to open but I'm really splitting hairs - this is a set I'll probably get a couple of. Shame no leg printing...oh well.
  21. TheBrickHitHouse
    What a display piece! And what an incredible price - they are giving this away for so many bricks, a star wars set would have been £275! It might be a hopeless mash of bizarre styles - but it just has 'it' that 'wow, it will display great' vibe. First day buy for me. Love the mini Metal Beard - think he looks better actually.
  22. TheBrickHitHouse
    Where's Lisa's sax?! How could they miss that! Love this set and the price is superb! Thank goodness it's out so soon! A clear 10/10 that I imagine I will keep along with the Death Star for ever.
  23. TheBrickHitHouse
    As a collector, the integrity of the second hand market for lego is very important to me - years ago I wouldn't have worried about knock-offs on ebay and bricklink (with the dreadful quality of the figures making them easy to spot) but now...those Iron Man figures look pretty authentic, I'd hate to ever acquire one believing I had the real thing. The economic impact on Lego of this stuff is probably negligible - but some of these products may well contain lead paint and actually be very dangerous, it's not just a question of a wacky alternate Green Lantern designs and a bit of quirky fun - this stuff could actually harm the buyer.
  24. TheBrickHitHouse
    TAKE MY MONEY NOW! Hate those figures - but the house is great!
  25. TheBrickHitHouse
    Glorious set - the car looks great on display and I'm very pleased with mine. Shame the flick fires weren't swapped for the Star Wars new shooter bricks (although modification isn't hard). The car can fit two...just...but is have liked the seating arrangement to have been more natural
