Wherever that flannel came from, it's a perfect fit and I want one. Blends perfectly.

I think there is a place for niche things like this on the LEGO market nowadays. Voltron made it, and that was from the 80's, so I'd say this at least stands a chance. I understand non-Bionicle fans being very confused by this though. It's a micro build of three important scenes in the Bionicle storyline, so if you didn't follow it, this probably doesn't make any sense. I don't see anyone just walking into the LEGO store and grabbing this unless they are a Bionicle fan, but there's lots of us out there

That Matoro scene in Sokoda's MOC is gorgeous, I'd love to have that on my shelf. It has my support, as does the temple of time. I don't think the Toa Mata one is realistic unfortunately, too many old molds. Regardless if these make it, I hope Bionicle gets some kind of acknowledgement from LEGO for it's 20th birthday, Ideas approved or not.

I don't know if any information on this exists outside of the company, but figured I would ask incase any of our historians know anything about this. My google research yields only a little nugget that says 7 LEGO sets are sold every second. This is extremely unspecific however, so I'm wondering if any more details are out there.

That's the one, the search is over. Thank you.

I've been searching for a while, but with no luck, so I've decided to ask the memebers of EB to see if anyone else remembers this specific video. There was an old temple escape based video on youtube, which there are a lot of, but this one in particular had subbed the Idol for a C-3PO head, and ended with Indy placing it on a decapitated C-3PO minifigure and flying away in the falcon. It was an old goofy video from several years ago, and it'd be fun to see it again. So if anyone knows this brickfilm, please let me know. Thank you. (Wasn't sure where exactly a question like this belongs, so apologies if it's in the wrong spot)

After finishing the T-rex last night, it has occurred to me that it's just about in perfect scale with 10265 Ford Mustang. Do with that information what you will. I have a few ideas.

Sweet. I'll be making a trip ?

Are VIP early releases available in store? Or only online? There's a LEGO store not far from where I work, I'll pick it up there after if so.

The angles that video shows I can't wait to own that thing.

Exactly this. People got their hopes up for something that was never more than a rumor, and I use rumor vaguely because it was more of a wishlist. Had this just dropped without all the wishlists, I think reception would have been much more positive. I believe it'll do great once it hits the market for the general audience. I know I'll be buying it day one.

I, for one, am stoked. That T-rex is gorgeous. I have a feeling that this was developed more so as a UCS style set, and the mini-figures were thrown in later to make collectors happy. I certainly won't scoff at them. The unsubstantiated wishlisting for the visitor's center definitely hurt how people look at this set, but I'll be picking it up day one.

Hey, it's fun to dream anyway. That's what we all did post 2010, and look what happened. I'm not trying to imply it's going to happen in any way or is even realistic, just that it's fun to keep the spirit alive. Who knows what the future may bring. On topic, perhaps constraction just needs a rest so Lego can get it back in shape with something fresh. Or maybe kids today just aren't into this kind of thing, only time will tell. I think it's too early to make a definitive call.

20th anniversary clone scout walker the other day, I love it. Definitely my favorite of the new wave.

Moc or not, that thing is killer. I'm making one if it doesn't come out.

The new microfighter dual pack with the dewback makes me think a pack with boga and general grievous could make a great set. (Not to mention boga would be adorable)

I've been on a bit of a binge over the past few months after taking a break from star wars sets, here's what I picked up: 7675 AT-TE: Picked this up to go with my gunship I've had for a while, I quite like it. 7662 MTT: Been after this one ever since it came out, and finally got it after finding a good deal on a mostly complete one on eBay. After a small bricklink order, I've got it at last. 7654 Droid battle pack: Got 2 of these for pretty cheap to flank my MTT, they look great together. We're long overdue for a new droid battle pack, but I digress. 75015 Corporate Alliance tank droid: Even though the minifigs are episode II themed, it goes great with another set I picked up recently: 75234 AT-AP: Big Improvement over the 2008 model, which is the only one I had. Love the new camo droids. 75211 Tie fighter: Again, a colossal improvement over the last one I had, which was the 2005 model. Also bricklinked some parts to make a red episode III Obi-Wan's jedi starfighter based on the one in 7283 ultimate space battle. I ended up with two 7256 jedi starfighter and vulture droid sets back in the day, so I color swapped one. They look great together.

Clone scout walker Definitely picking that one up, it's gorgeous. Weird the new kashyyyk droid isn't in it though. 20 bucks is kinda hefty for the dropship, but I might pick one up. I don't have a whole lot of interest for the others, except for the slave 1 maybe. That one is pretty slick too.

It seems like stores couldn't give these things away in 2015-2016, everywhere had them discounted heavily and still had shelves full of them. But now all a sudden they seem to command hefty prices on bricklink, and don't have many listings on top of that. Ebay deals are somewhat better, but still high. What happened? I could understand the last wave of sets from summer 2016 being pricey due to not having a world wide release, but I don't get the rest. Maybe it's just down to the fact that not many people bought them, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

Oof, I just bought the AT-AP for full price at the LEGO store yesterday. Oh well, only 12 bucks. Having only the 2008 model to compare it to, I'd say it's a worthy upgrade and I'm happy with it. Minifig selection is good too, love those new droids. Might pick up the gunship on sale, as I only have the 2008 rendition of that as well.

Just picked up the Indoraptor rampage set, and both raptors are missing. Oof.

Looks pretty good! I dig the tri-droid in particular, beats the hell out of the battle pack one we got. Pretty good crab droid too, reminds me of one I MOCed up a while back. I'd like to see some magna-guards if an utapau set comes around, but that's about the only suggestion I could make.

Picked up the 2006 Star Destroyer off Ebay for only 50 bucks plus shipping, I'm honestly shocked. Only missing a few minor bricks and plates which I had spares of anyway. It's the first SW set I've purchased in about a year, and it's drawing me back into the theme

I'd like to see some more love for episode III sets, and with no new movie coming up for a while, that might be possible. I think an Utapau themed AT-TE would be cool, albeit unrealistic. But hey, we got an ep 2 tank droid, an ep 3 spider walker, and the republic fighter tank all recently, so who knows. Could give us a phase 2 cody, Utapau troops, and magna guards. I'd also like to see another AAT in tan, but a better one than the 2015 edition. Oh, and a new Boga. Boga is rad.

Here's a tiny one I made to Kopaka 2016. Simply replaced the gold leg shells with silver, and bumped them down a peg. Much cleaner looking to me.
