This is the set I regret not buying the most besides the Medieval Market Village. You got so much with it. A gold knight, a jester (which was new at the time), a queen, a soldier, some skeletons and one that looks like the Grim Reaper with a skeleton horse even. It was $40 and I think within the year it was retired, it shot up to $80. I hadn't gotten back into buying toys of any kind yet, though I looked on this board frequently. I just wasn't sure if it was ok to spend my money on it back then.

>Lego actually but in place pieces in my speed train that will fit the lights I ordered
Now that's cool. But why weren't the lights included to begin with? Also pretty cool that the lights can be dimmed by the remote.
And I can see why you guys don't like the flexible tracks.
>>5581488
>Now that's cool. But why weren't the lights included to begin with?
To lower the price of the set. More people will buy the train at a lower price, then a good portion of them will want to light it so they'll go buy the stuff to do so, but allowing the people who have no interest in the lights to just have the train at the lower price.
>>5581390
This is one of the best sets I've seen. I think it's a bit pricey tho. I bet these Angry Bird sets will be cheap as fuck resold without the minifigs tho.
>>5581514
I wanted to wait for those sails before I ran the not-erworld game, but maybe I'll trade up once they come out

No it wouldn't and competition within brands is important.

It's pure madness.
>>5581572
I'll never understand why not
I mean, okay, Disney will obviously want people to buy Infinity more, but they should still recieve money from Dimensions set sales based on Marvel or Star Wars characters so they get money from people who have decided to buy Dimensions instead of Infinity

The escape from City 17 would be the level pack level, right?

Incoming castle pictures.
Alright, this is definitely a WIP but I think I've got the basics down. Been working on a micro-scale transforming Arwing from Star Fox Zero.
And here is Walker mode. Thoughts and feedback appreciated!
>>5581627
Which means it looks modern. I'm glad to see that Lego is into new trends rather than being grognard corporation.
>>5581641
What kind of camera do you have, anon? I can give you some pointers on tweaking it for better shots.
>>5581642
That was obviously one of the shit tier ones.
Please ignore it it was in the picture folder and I didn't look at it again before posting.
>>5581648
If your camera has a macro mode you'll be able to take much clearer pictures of things at close range
It's ideal for minifig-level shots
>>5581634
it looks like a tenkai knights thing
>>5581652
Damn, that beard is an ugly ugly piece.

I'm impressed by the degree of articulation you shoved into a micro scale model.

It's not a hug circle, it's business.
To quote Ray Kroc, founder of the McDonalds corporation: "If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth and turn on the water. It is ridiculous to call this an industry. This is not. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog. I'll kill 'em, and I'm going to kill 'em before they kill me. You're talking about the American way – of survival of the fittest."
Corporations aren't just trying not to lose, they're trying to win and have everybody else lose.
>>5581684
Something far worse. More devious and destructive than something you could ever comprehend...a wizard of such great power, that those who dared to learn his true name speak it in only hushed tones, withing the safety of their walls...but his power is far to great to match, not wood, nor stone, nor plastic walls can keep him at bay...He is..

>>5581555
I really wish we had seen more of LEGOs own properties alongside all the franchise tie-ins.

Don't even like Angry Birds, but I want this pirate ship and a crew of pirate piggies.
Im kind of in a bit of a pickle here.
I am going to have access the over $200 in a day or two that we originally set aside for the classic batcave set. We waited until april on purpose so we could get the mr. freeze figure to go with it, kill all birds with one stone situation. Well, all I really WANT out of the cave set is the figures and the batmobile, and I have kind of fallen in love with the temple of airjitsu set.....
What do?
I figure that the....figures along with the batcar will still be pretty pricey on BL, and either way I get freeze for sure, so.....?
Help me lego gen, youre my only hope (even though you guys despise me)!
>>5581776
In my honest opinion the figs from the batcave are great and the set is shit.
The reverse is true for the Temple. Amazing set, I couldn't care less for the figs, I don't care about Ninjago at all.
>>5581776
me too man, I fell in love with the temple of airjitzu set and want one this summer. dat building techniques
the minifigures in it are just a bonus
>>5581776
Both are pretty solid sets in my opinion. But I'm a little biased towards saying the Airjitsu temple is cooler, because the japanese architecture just looks so stunning.
While the Batman build has lots of cool little accessories and features, as well as the vehicles and variety of minifigures. My only disappointment with the Batman set is no Batgirl.
Honestly I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Did you check that they're not inside the folded up character sheet?
>>5581685
Some corporations are led by such stupid people that they believe it's better to have all the money than to have some of the money.
They believe it's better to have none of the money if it means they'll only get some of the money.
>>5581794
This. The best part of the batcave is probably the library.
The rest is like 2,000 pieces of beige rock parts. Lego dropped the ball hard with that one.

Steam engine is cool, other two look rushed.
I'd leave the Steamy as it is (maybe make the arms a little less bulky) and create two others, not necesarily engine-based, maybe one based on water tower, and one on semaphore?

All excellent ideas.
Ausfag here,has anyone had any issues finding the shark guy minifig?
I've been to 5 different stores and felt up like 10 full boxes and found every fig but the shark, i swear scalpers have just steamrolled through getting them all cause shark is prolly easiest to find due to size.
>>5582029
Where you at, anon? I've got a spare Spider Heifer that I harvested the hair piece and don't have a real need for the cape.

>>5581391
>Build a defensive wall. Can be any theme - Castle, Ninjago or Mexican.
>Model a helicopter.
>Make a factory scene.
I turned the little lifeguard car into a cool Mad Max inspired apocalypse car.
>>5582160
I got one of those 1x4 angled cylinder pieces because it looked interesting, but I had no idea what it was typically used for. Now I need to get another one.
>>5582133
Dimensions is based off old Dalek design, Ideas is on the new ones. I prefer old because they're simple enough to make.
>>5582133
Dimensions.
Look much nicer IMO, and come with a Cyberman.
>>5581555
Bill and Ted, Blues Brothers, Wacky Races.
I love to see Willow too, and also Lucasarts Adventure Games done in a similar vein to the Midway pack, but I'm pretty sure Johnny Vignocchi's already made sure anything remotely under Disney's umbrella is reserved for Infinity.
>>5581555
big bang theory
I currently have the Brick Bank and was wondering which of the following three I should pick up next
- Parisian Restaurant
- Detective's Office
- Palace Cinema
>>5582221
Parisian Restaurant is the best of those three--really, I just think it is the best modular to begin with.
However, I think the Detective's Office actually looks pretty neat near the bank, and, in my head, it sort of works in the old-timey look they were going for with the 1920s/1930s look for the Detective's Office. The Pet Shop looks pretty good thrown in there with those two as well.
The Cinema is nice, but I think its more of a middle-tier Modular.
>>5582170
This looks so fun. I built a wasteland-mobile last summer.
>>5581681
Your things so cool it's a shame they're only LDD models.
really wanted to build my own mad max-esque gang but this was the only thing i was able to build wiht my abysmal car-parts.
I should buy more city-sets. I don't really have that many different size-wheels. But im happy with that long roadster with demon head in in the middle.
>tfw the 4 pieces I need to finish a set are only on 3 international stores and at extortionate prices
anyone else feel my pain ;_;
>>5582114
There was an anon here basically bragging that he had 5 of them to trade. Scum of the earth, I tell ya.
>>5582114
Ebay seller here. The Queen is way easier than the Shark. That said, many store displays I've felt through only had a single shark suit guy.
>>5582133
Ideas, retains the shape so much more than the Dimensions one, which is oversized and has a terrible base.
>>5582523
I opened a brand new box at my job and went through 2/3rds of the box before finding a shark man for me, I wouldn't be surprised if there is only one or two.
>>5582578
There's never fewer than 3 of any given figure in a box.
The rare ones are always 3.
>>5582445
Yes, pic related
What parts do you need?
Been building the Fortrex over the last few days. Love it so far. Gonna be sad when it is finished.
Hate the stickers though…I’ve built gunpla with water slides and these stickers are so unforgiving.
I think next will be the Library set to complete the castle, but….
I’ve have every knight but Macy!!! Why oh why did they attach her to some goblin chariot I don’t want!
(at least I can get Ultimate Robin for him)
>>5582615
I just skip the stickers and keep the sticker sheets in a box or something
>>5582615
I really hate how sets include opposing factions rather than focus on a single one. Ive got every lava monster set but the shitty chariot but only have 3 of one of 3 variants of the lava monster figs and absolutely zero globlins or scurriers because they are all in the knight sets, as well as half the books being in their sets as well. I just want a bunch of monsters to pretend like I'm playing Dungeon Keeper 3.
I just committed heresy against a super jumper so it can't commit heresy against minifigs
can I be forgiven?
>>5582621
It's a chariot? I thought it was a wheelchair.
>>5582608
2 sand green large necks and dino feet
I didn't think they'd be so difficult to find
>>5582615
>he doesn'y want Beastmaster's badass Bloblin pulled chariot
Fuck you, guy.
>>5582170
haha that's great
>>5582133
I'm personally not a fan of either. This was my own Dalek build from years ago. Not fantastic, but I was going for a build that used common pieces so I could easily put together a ton of them.
>>5582635
Calm down.
Maybe if it came with Whiperella
>>5582636
>the vampyre hearse
holy shit I thought that hearse couldn't get any campier, that's fucking awesome
just bought an entire eastpack full of 70s lego,
it's a bit yellowed here and there, and all the tiles don't have ridges for your fingernails yet but all the bricks clutch like a motherfucker.
It also has quite a bit of STAMPS and a shitload of regular white bricks. They're probably all from sets with the old "giants"
anyone have that pic with the funny text about ancient giant living among minifigs?
Is it worth picking up a Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine for the hopes it'll get expensive in the future?
Here's a quick pic to show some more detailed and fun STAMPS and their brickbuilt counterparts by me that i already built. While you can see the Piano is of xbox behemoth proportions, the tv is pretty almost spot in scale to my earlier tv. While it wasn't probably meant as such a wide screen thing in a bigger scale it still works really great with minifigs!
>>5582662
dang i'm the guy who made that pic but i since deleted it. i might remake it since i have nothing to do
>>5582635
It wouldn't be so bad if it actually felt like a $30 set instead of being a really bare $20 build with a $10 hover horse. Seriously, compare it to the lava smasher and they are just about the same size and complexity, meanwhile the rumble blade has the same relative cost difference while being well over double the size and complexity. The chariot just simply does not fit its price and completely ruins its value, made worse by the fact that it is a fairly simple build without any cool features, mechanics, or techniques. The only redeeming aspects of the set is printed globlin heads for giant 2-headed globlin MOC and Macy's hover horse.

It's the only set with non ultimate Beastmaster, a unique book, dual bloblin heads, Macys hover horse and the only source of non ultimate Macy until the Thudner Blade comes out (which is a LEGIT bad set on par with Lance's horse).
I think you're just being a shit.
Whiperella in Black Knight mech or riot. Better have Queen Halbert in pic related armor also.
>>5582700
I had that castle too, shit was cash albeit a bit silly.
My dad used to hide eastern eggs in it instead of being a dick tho.
>>5582700
And that is the reason you still play with lego today
>>5582712
*distant dragula noise intensifies*
So after a month of not buying any LEGO, I decided to let myself splurge. I bricklinked about 60 Euro worth of stuff, including Lance and his flying horse, some Justice League members (Cyborg!), some minifig parts for purist customs and a bunch of minifig utensils.
What have you gotten recently?
>>5582130
I hit you up.
>>5582747
Fortrex!
Hadn't bought lego in 5 years. (and that was just a few minfigs).
It is extremely comfy (still building).
>>5582742
Close enough.
Now go dig through some ditches and burn through some witches.
>>5582717
It isn't exactly a bad set, as I said before, it just doesn't compare well with other sets for that price and doesn't bring very much to the table save for unique pieces. It is overall underwhelming, but not an unfinished piece of shit like the rumble mace.
>>5582749
Awesome. I've looked at that set everytime I've been in the store, sadly I can't buy it right now (not because of money, but rather lack of space)
Is it as awesome as it looks? How does it look displayed like a castle?
Hey /toy/. I built a fully functional RC forklift. I think you folks would dig it:

>>5582771
weren't you on the brothers brick like two days ago?
awesome build, man!
>>5582771
I already saw and commented on it man, you always built the craziest stuff. When i saw you even made an entire rails and moving camera setup out of technic i almost spilled my cereal when i saw it.
>>5582772
Thanks! Got blogged at a couple of places, but the Brothers Brick isn't one of them. Ah well, plenty of folks still seem to like it :D
>>5582775
right, it was Eurobricks I saw it on.
>>5582773
Yeah, I kinda go nuts with my camera work. Only used the thing for four shots in the entire video, but it was worth it :D
>>5582775
those skull canisters are really clever btw
Why did you use your glasses' lens for the sidecameracar ?
>>5582747
A metric fuckton of windshields and transparent panels. Gonna build a space bus. and a donut shop. And some other space-town crossover junk.
>>5582786
>space-town crossover
ma nigga
>>5582779
The build's amazing, and so's your camera work.
>>5582703
Damn. I already own it cause I love the set (stickers and all, I just got my girlfriend to put them on because my hands are Marty McFly-style), but I was hoping it'd net me some cash to pick up another.
>>5582784
I'm using a gopro camera to film my stuff. However, gopros don't really focus well on short distances. They're built for scenery shots. So, in a way, they're like a far-sighted grandma.
So I picked up a pair of granny glasses and fixed my gopro for like five bucks. Works like a charm.
What would be more cost effective--Bricklinking the apartment half of the Pet Shop or buying it?
>>5582771
Did you actually make that many forklifts, or is that just a really well-done editing trick?
>>5582797
I just built a single forklift; coordinating that many of them would've been a total nightmare. I'm copypasting an explanation that I just wrote for another forum:
So one of the big tricks is that I didn't use the forklift to put the logo together. I used it to take it apart, and then ran the video backwards. I had a 20-minute recording of 14 separate times where the forklift took away a single pallet. Now, using a program like Adobe After effects, you can "cut out" parts of a video, and paste them somewhere else. This is a very timeconsuming process, since you need to tell the computer for every 10 video frames or so where the forklift is. It can interpolate from there. Then you need to put together all these cutout pieces of video, being careful that none of them overlap at any point. Someone put a tutorial together for a similar effect here: https://www.youtube....h?v=SVVMczuFBMk
>>5582817
Shit, the URL didn't copy well. That should've been https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVVMczuFBMk
so uh... i downloaded the Lego Worlds update
>>5582852
>Lego Worlds
Oh yeah that's a thing.
Honestly it got announced and after that I've heard nothing about it. Is it done yet? Or is it still early access shit?
>>5582253
thanks anon, just ordered the parisian restaurant
>>5582852
as it is right now I'd rather spend money on real bricks. Unless they come out with crazy gameplay mechanics, like world building tied to customizable rules, I wont buy it.

>>5582919
Well you can build the set pieces for them, but they're still hammering things out when it comes to both the engine and making it into an actual game.
>>5581585
They don't want other people playing with their toys. It would be akin to letting other movie studios make Star Wars or Avengers movies. Even if they're getting a cut they don't want their IP putting money in the competitions pockets.

So? Banned or not you can still look at the pictures right? I thought banning just made you unable to post and such. That's why I posted the links so that people who wanted to see more angles could.
Your freighter is pretty cool, I like the big array of engines but I feel the grey part under the containers could use some texturing. Right now it's just a big slab with containers attached. Also i'd try experimenting with greebles on the nose of varying length and shape. Long thin antenae, bulging radomes and such, to add a bit more variety to it right now it's all the same length.
I really like the hub and the engines though. Gives it a very utilitarian look, if an engine breaks then they must be very easy to replace.

Hi, /lg/. I was sifting through some of my old Minifigures, and what did I happen to find?
An old Jack Stone figure!
I'm not particularly a fan of Jack Stone, but I don't plan to sell it for the sake of being a collector. But out of curiousity, how much is this one worth in it's condition?
>>5582133
I like them both for different reasons. The Ideas ones are far more accurate to Doctor Who, but are harder to replicate with the colors I have of the same pieces used in the build.
I like the Dimensions version more, though. I always liked more boxy bodies,mhence why I love the Hummer H1 so much, not to mention a lot of the 90° angle bricks are completely hidden, so the outside panels cover them up. They can also be rebuilt using the same pieces from that one build alone.
>>5583086
>But out of curiousity, how much is this one worth in it's condition?
http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?M=js015
About twenty cents.
>>5583086
people pretty much sell that figure for less than a dollar used
Jack Stone is a pretty poor lego line, nobody really particularly likes them
>>5582114
Nope. I've got like 5 of the cunts.
Seems almost everytime I'd grab a couple/handfull of bags and not bother to have a feel, I'd end up with one of them. I've only felt a shark once when actrully feeling up bags, which I left there.

>So? Banned or not you can still look at the pictures right? I thought banning just made you unable to post and such. That's why I posted the links so that people who wanted to see more angles could.
Mike perma-banned me from the entire forum, I literally can't even see it directly via my IP Address.
>Your freighter is pretty cool, I like the big array of engines but I feel the grey part under the containers could use some texturing. Right now it's just a big slab with containers attached. Also i'd try experimenting with greebles on the nose of varying length and shape. Long thin antenae, bulging radomes and such, to add a bit more variety to it right now it's all the same length.
Well Greebling has never been my strong point; There are some long antennae in the back, as well as various smaller containers.
Problem is I currently don't have access to anymore pictures due to being stuck on my OLD harddrive...
>I really like the hub and the engines though. Gives it a very utilitarian look, if an engine breaks then they must be very easy to replace.
Well it's not so much "My" freighter as a cut and re-arrange job of Dilanski Tycoon Hauler.
The front dome was the bridge, which I mirrored to give it a symmetrical feel, I also doubled up the engine pod and reworked the originally static cargo claws to be articulated
The central engine hub is mine, and I think the light grey cargo trailer is also...
I THINK it's suppose to expandable with additional trailers, but without the LXF file I can't really say for sure, but I'm thinking that's why the "Tractor" has such a beefy array of engines in the first place.
>>5583086
They're bigger then regular minifigs right?
Why didn't/hasn't Lego ever use them as giants or something? Like use a different head and it could be a giant/ogre/cyclops in a fantasy line.
Or use it for bigger characters in licensed shit, like as Hulk, Colossus or Darkseid.
Post you are happiest minifigs!

Holy shit man, I've only known you for a short while and this is a perfect example of why everyone dislikes you.
Someone points out a flaw you have and instead of saying, "I will work to fix this", you give an excuse that justifies it being shit. Just like your job situation.
I'd have banned you too

Can you please post a picture of the other side of the the black helmeted figure?
>>5583247
Sure thing.
>>5583281
I really like that backpack turret thing. Nice job.
>>5583227
Why do people think that being able to just FIX a flaw is something that is easy and can be done nigh instantaneously?
Greebling isn't my strong point, why the fuck should that matter to anyone in the first place?
It's not something vital, it's just adding random crap to make things objectively look better.

Yes.
So how did you guys enjoy the thread challenges for this month?
Hey guys i need your help to find a Japanese(i think) bootleg of Lego from my childhood.
The only piece i remember is a transparent window frame and maybe pink pieces.
I think they had a kind of vaporwave-like vibe to them.
>>5583489
It was a piece like this one, but 4 studs wide and four bricks high and it was transparent.
>>5583474
I thought they were really great but I also think it's a shame that what you posted there was basically the only entrant I remember to the Gattai challenge.
Shit, I wanted to do that one. I only actually had a good idea for it today, a big purple motherhubbard with giant eyebrows and steel jaw. Fuck my life.
>>5583474
I was disappointed at the lack of big beautiful walls.
>>5583512
Same here. Too much low energy.
>>5583512
If I had more than one figure that looked mexican, I would have done a display of a bunch of them running across a baseplate due to the lack of wall.
>>5582771
the forklift is definitely cute, but you set up maximum fucking ambiance with those crates, and im more impressed with the setwork than the actual lift
>>5583014
>I miss old lego. Working on the kwik e mart feels so good because I haven't worked with colorful blocks in a while.
>Everything is either grey or wine red these days
this is going to sound like im calling you shit, but its an honest suggestion
look into the girl sets, they have alot more color and ALOT more decoration, friends specifically, but i prefer elves

These would be pretty damned cool. A Beetlejuice line when they do the movie sequel would be amazing.

>>"Oh, well with practice I assume you could get better"
Except it wasn't about me working on Greebling, it was that it not being my strong point automatically assumes I'm never going to work on it ever.
See, this here:

>Look at all that empty space between the containers.
>0/10 wouldn't freighter dragon dildos with
Is a much more legitimate criticism.
There are two reason the trailer section isn't completely crusted in cargo.
The first is that the original freighter, built by microspace master Dilanski, had an odd rotation feature.
I expanded on this by making the static cargo clamps articulated, opening up so they could grab the crates as they drifted in space...
Thing is, this requires them to have a lot of smooth plate to rotate on, so I was hesitant on putting jumper plates for smaller cargo in the gaps.
The second is, well, that I didn't put containers in every single load point.
The issue there was how much of a headache it was to have a proper assorted mix of containers so that the display looked dynamic.
I went with a half loaded set up so as to both save on the amount of crates loaded and do a bit of a loading scene to show all of the features.
Here is Dilanski original model for comparison, and so you can see what I stole.

Yeah I got the Heartland Supermarket. Just finished the KEM. I like it but the roof seems off like way too sunken in.
My last sets have been the Ghostbusters HQ, some star wars, Dimensions (which mostly are colorless builds), and the Tardis. So I've been working with grey, wine red, and dark blue.
I've gotten a few other friends sets because the builds are pretty good and the details are nice. It beats having "Small City Set #24653 'Dude with Vehicle and maybe a crook' ".
The KEM is going to be great for my Ghostbusters project.
Which one of the two is better, Livi's House or Heartlake Supermarket?
Only asking because I need million of those sushi-prints and everything else is just extra.
>>5583736
Lmao I got that supermarket because of sushi.

I didn't know you could be banned from even seeing anything on the forum. Well I've got a brick shelf if you would like pictures.
Banning you from even viewing the forum seems needlessly harsh, but I'm not very well versed in the great whiteeagle conflict that seems to have happened, so eh.
As for greebling, practice makes perfect. Experiment with shapes! LDD is great in that you can bring up tons of bricks just to try out.
>>5583281
That's a nice little backpack anon.
>>5583300
Fixing a flaw is not always easy, or instantaneous. It's up to you to decide if its worth the effort. But from experience I'd say that self improvement is one of the most gratifying things that you can do. I for example had terrible English skills, they're still not as good as they could be but through effort and practice I've managed to make my posts at least semi-coherent.
And that makes me feel happy, knowing that I have improved. Same thing applies to everybody I think, even for something as small as greebling a virtual Lego spaceship. And after you try it out you can look at the ship and think: I made this and it looks good.
But as I said, it's up to you to decide if its worth it.
Jeez this turned into a wall of text fast..

This is what I want. I want more city sets that have a little shop feel. It's been like cops and robbers for like 2 years. I started collecting Lego again in early 2015, so all that I've seen is just cars. Everything has to have a damn car in it.
I really don't like the way that Lego sets out these themes for city. Like the whole first half of the year was police and then the second half was swamp police. I'd much rather like it if there was variety all year round. That way you can get your damn racing cars and a little shop or something.
>>5583760
I should call Lego. I think they didn't place those printed pieces inside.
I put some warmer lights inside and turned off the room light. If only these other lights didn't suck. (Basically little globs of light on a single string wire like Christmas lights and uses 6 batteries).
How do you guys light your interiors?
So I want to get into brick wars. (My old 40k itch is coming back...) I've read the wiki and roots a couple of times and an now looking for tips to build an army, or generally.
I haven't collected minifigs , ship Fag here, and was looking for tips. I was thinking that maybe the vehicle rules could be modded for battlefleet gothicia type play?
. Does anyone play regularly?
>>5583673
The way you responded just sounded like you were making excuses instead of taking anon's suggestions into consideration.
The original reply didn't tell you to just practice more to get better, they said:

I'm not Ausfag, but I only took one Shark guy.
He's nice and funny, but I don't understand why he's so populair people want armies of them.
For this series I thought the grim knight or the white classic space guy would be some of the most populair armybuilders.
Atleast there are 5 of them in a box.

Posting my oldest and only surviving MOC, had it sitting on my bookshelf for about 12 years. The wings can fold back a fair bit and the entire thing, minus the base/arm assembly, is made with Star Wars mini sets, mostly the Star Destroyer.

>medium-large set with all the main characters and the Batwing
Can you help me choose? Also, I haven't seen the movie yet, but I intend to.
>>5584180
>>medium-large set with all the main characters and the Batwing
Wait until you see it then, you know, just in case. Also maybe get the small set first and if you like it get the big one later? It's only like 12 dollars, and the bigger sets tend to be in stock a lot longer.
>>5584180
After seeing over a hundred Battle of Smallville sets clearanced at more than 50% off and still not selling, I recommend *not* buying the $60 set at MSRP.
>>5584120
>He's nice and funny, but I don't understand why he's so populair people want armies of them.
He's popular because people are stockpiling them for scalping later.
All the "mascot" figures end up being worth $20~$30 down the road after their series is retired, so...

Gerard is right. I had given up on buying a chicken suit man because of the price. Lucky for us the LEGO is a cool guy and gave them away for Easter.
Built a little kitchen from the 70's bricks.
That oven piece kicks ass. Even though i had to sink it into the ground for it to be in scale with minifigs, it still opens and stuff. I wanted it to remind people of dinner with the grandfolks.
