The Green Brick Giant

Double post update.... Yes, some other Star Wars, Power Miners and Space Police sets are on sale for 10% off at Target USA. Power Miners Star Wars

That set is the set that kind of got me out of my "dark ages". My dark age last 1997 to the early 2000s mainly because LEGO sets in that time frame sucked! However the Space Port sets of 1999 or 2000 were awesome, I had most/all of them and yet somehow lost a few of the minifigures.

Damn I forgot to go because I want some cannons!

The Wild West set I thought it was confirmed at $60 a few months back, guess it were rumored price.

They always do it, they are very predictable. You can check the prices online before leaving online. I really want that Power Miner set because I'd like to add a little motor and make the thing run by itself.

Target normally has one set in a theme for 20%-30% off and all the other sets in the theme will be 8%-11% off.

I have a feeling that the solar cell will cost as much as a Mindstorm set.

I'm noticing that all the winners screen names seem kind of short.....

I lvoe the robot! Love it!

No, Jack Stone bodies are 1 PIECE, one big piece. The new Toy Story ...ugly... minifigures are minifigures that are just larger, but will ocme apart.

Damn I didn't win. I just had a crazy talk about how 3 is my favorite number and today's date in Europe is December 3, maybe tomorrow because it will still be December 3rd here when they are announced!

Why is that? It's most likely the 4x4x6 piece that has the slopped sides and that the sides of the plane will be tiled with only a few studs to keep them on. Nothing really new.

Yeah there is no reason for LEGO not to have back up parts, it's not like LEGO went "The theme ended, throw all the bricks out"..

For some reason the larger Power Miner sets are way overpriced when the smaller sets are perfectly priced, well maybe not the 68 pieces for $10, but that's the new increases.

I don't know why everyone makes fun of the gatehouse in KCS, to me none of the LEGO Castle castles have had a good gatehouse, but maybe they did. The weak part for me is that KCS is built horribly. You try to move the set and it falls apart. The one thing LEGO should use raised baseplated for are castles, but nah, they will use them on hospitals and police stations instead.

I thought his space ship was going to be $40? The $20 set only has 87 pieces or something like that, o i can see the set being insanely overpriced.

The Impulse sets are awesome. The Farmer one is great, yay for cheap pigs! The traveler one has printed pants. Now the blue plane, thank god, that is what LEGO planes should look like! It's a nice mix of the lame new cockpit piece with everything else being brick built.

I don't know what face that is but it's so simple and so perfect for the scene.

Now don't get me wrong, I want to win, but it's free so even if you don't then you lost nothing and gained nothing.

Well in that case the piece isn't ancient, you are!

Yes, but the coupon said Construction with a big c. Someone bought a few sale ideas using it too.

How much ink does a few more letters make?

Are you sure it's all LEGO and not just the Construction theme sets?

I like you, I was thinking the same thing. Those stupid blower things are the most useless piece. I can't stand them. I was hoping they were forgotten after Life on Mars, then they came back for Mars Mission. I wish they would just stop the pain.

I have always wondered this, to me it makes sense to have the piece count on the box, but that's only done in North America. So why? I understand not having the title of the set on the box, because there are 20 languages in Europe, but piece count? It should be on all boxes everywhere.
