MWAHAHAHA!!!!! Awesome! I can't wait. I hope it's really, really vehicle-heavy and not full of nothing but playsets. Finally, a reason to buy Megabloks again. They'd been sort of on the downslide as far as interesting sets have gone as of late. I can't agree with you about the Minifigs. Those are the one aspect of Megabloks I can't get on board with. But, fully armored SPARTANs and ODSTs might look okay. And yet, sadly, I fear we'll never be free of the curse of "They should do Halo LEGO" topics

Strange that all these TRU exclusives haven't shown up on S@H yet. I've got a $5 Brickmaster coupon burning a hole in my pocket

I kind of like the new style of Minifig magnet, if these are indeed a new design philosophy. Less a Minifig with a magnet in it's back and more of a full-blown fridge ornament

That has to be the greatest "out of context" topic title ever But no, never noticed any stench.

Damn my faulty memory I was at work when I posted, so I didn't have access to my vast volumes of useless info, but checking my Lucasfilm Archives book confirms that the plane was a Pilatus P-2 standing-in for a Luftwaffe fighter. I guess my brain just assumed that since it was 1938 it'd be the "TIE Fighter" of the German air forces, especially since the next best candidate, the FW-190 didn't have its first portotype flight until 1939. . Still not impressed though

I'm usually pretty positive and forgiving with early pics...but man, they really crapped out on the Bf-109 I guess I got my hopes up too high on that one

I've had that happen a couple of times. Once it took a whole month for the charge to appear on my account. If it's bothering you, calling will usually get them to ram the charge through. Otherwise, if you wait patiently it'll go through eventually

Okay, how's this? AVATAR - THE LAST BARTENDER

Ah, what the hell. I'm bound and determined to win a competition or contest on this site that doesn't involve me writing a funny caption for a photo.

THERE! THERE'S YOUR DAMN TAUNTAUN. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

Thanks a lot. This is just the sort of comparison photoshoot I've been waiting for for a long time. I missed out on the BSB both times it was released and resolved to not skip the BB. I can now see that the two are pretty comparable and now I don't feel so deprived anymore. Now hopefully these new Pirate sets will provide me with a good stand-in for the SES

Yep...seems we've dodged a bullet this time. (which are, coincidentally, made of lead ) A little more info here from good ol' Snopes

Original Story - http://www.kvue.com/news/top/stories/01060...e.466a87af.html Since the Consumer Products and Safety Commission is eerily quiet on all this, there's no real clarification as to how far this sort of thing goes, and if online sellers who deal in "collectibles" will be affected...but I don't have a good feeling about this at all EDIT - More Info

Mostly I got a bunch of cool books nobody here would care about, but I did get the 10189 Taj Mahal...now all I need is time to put it together

Plo Koon looks like Jamie Hyneman!

HAW! This is really neat, great job guys!

As long as it's nothing involving poo, I'm in

Way to blow it! Now LEGO Corporate knows the sets are out early and will take steps to rectify the "mistake" :P

HAW! I have a trip planned down there next weekend! Pirates ahoy!

Well I hate other people, so the fact that this isn't an offline single-payer RPG like the first two makes me sad. oh well

I am SO getting this instead of the Death Star now...thanks for the review!

S'funny...I had to explain Fabuland to my Wife tonight. She was in my den and noticed Ricky Raccoon on his Scooter sitting on my shelf and had no idea what his deal was. Part of my explanation went like this. "A bunch of people on Eurobricks are all crazy for it. You know, some of the same people who hate Bionicle and think it's stupid crap...go figure." Just goes to show how LEGO has little niches for everyone

In case anyone is interested... A few years ago there was a Transformers site called Transfandom. Well, that site imploded, but a lot of the core staff is still around and we've started a Transformers blog to serve as a sort of online e-zine The Underbase Online Now, we only have 3 entries so far, but give it a shot, we're brand new

Deino want V-19

It's a very nice looking set. I'd probably get it had I not already been hit for $200 this Spring with the Space Factory sets. Who knows. Perhaps if they have one assembled and on display at the LEGO store this weekend I may rethink my decision
