The LEGO thread

[SPLIT LIP]

This is what is hopefully going to be the LEGO thread. I understand that with this site in relative infancy, traffic here may not pick up right away, but for any comments or questions about all things LEGO, be it the ever popular BIONICLE line, Castle, Power Miners or Star Wars, feel free to post here and discuss all things LEGO.

Myself, I just ordered the Clone Walker BP from TRU.ca five days ago, it should arrive tomorrow. I am excited. I'm also eager to post pictures of my custom minifigs and MOCs (My Own Creation) such as my Half-Life 2 Ep2 minifigs.

[4lott]

I just picked up Gresh. Pretty cool, but I'm stoked for the Mata Nui fig later this year. What I'm hoping to see at NYTF are more pics of the new Space Police line. I really like the look of the bad guy's vehicles and the new SP minifigs are awesome! Hopefully they'll also show more pics of the new Agents sets.

[jacobot]

[Robimus]

Thats a sweet discovery! The Solar Sail, cool!

I've got a ton of Star Wars Lego myself, though I've fallen off a bit in recent years. I still really want the Star Destroyer released last year.

[4lott]

I saw that today,too, but $75. is out of my price range.

[SPLIT LIP]

I have all six Glatorian and I must say, there is more win there than there has been in BIONICLE for quite some time. I also have the Agori, and while neat, they're mostly nothing to write home about. Much better than the Av-Matoran and I really love Tarduk. (for his character and design)

I have to remember to copy my reviews from TFW here. Once I finally get the Clone Walker I can finish my Half-Life minifigs and post them, too. (I really just need the driver's dark grey arms for Freeman, but the main reason I got the set is for the clones)

I also have the Assasin droids pack and Stormtrooper pack. Both are really funky. I love these little battle packs.

[4lott]

Yeah, when I first got back into Lego about 10 years ago they had those nifty 3 packs w/ an "exclusive" minifig. Each came with a base and a backdrop. I'm happy minifig packs are back in the form of army builders.

[SPLIT LIP]

Aha, here we are. I posted these on TFW and TOYARK, so I might as well post them here too for all my fellow Canadi-cans to view.

I actually used decals from this[/URL (http://[URL]http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=234177)] Brickshelf page for Gordon and Alyx, merely changing Gordon's skin tone to match the head I used. Alyx was more modified though, to match the Ep2 look I was going for. Dog's face was custom.

I forgot to mention. Alyx's hair peice is the same peice as Gordon's, dremeled into shape and painted.

[4lott]

Excellent work! Are the torso and leg designs stickers? BTW, have you seen these?
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25304 Beats Lego's own design hands down!

[SPLIT LIP]

Yes, I have seen that. It's freaking you should mention it 'cuz I found it just browsing yesterday and was all like "that's hot shit". The only problem is the feet. It tried something like that and those parts broke after a while. The praise for it is a little crazy, though.

And If I had sticker paper, they would be stickers. As is, they're just printed paper with clear tape over them to hold it on and make it shiny.


While not LEGO related, has anyone heard that MEGA, makers of Megabloks is going to make LEGO style HALO WARS sets? Badassery. And yet still no official LEGO Half-Life. ;)

[4lott]

When you said the pieces broke, do you mean the actual bricks used broke or that the pieces just woudn't stay together? Not a big fan of Megabloks but it wouldn't surprise me if they made Halo.

[SPLIT LIP]

The prongs of the "claw" on the foot peices used there actually snapped and broke after a while. And while I'm not a big MBs fan, I would have to get at least one set to have a little Grunt, Brute, Spartan, etc.

[jacobot]

Seems if LEGO doesn't buy the rights to an Action Figure line Megabloks will...LOL

[4lott]

I see it now, the post problably put more pressure on the bottom piece than it could handle. BTW, do you ever pop off and switch your minifig arms for MOCs?

[SPLIT LIP]

BTW, do you ever pop off and switch your minifig arms for MOCs?All the time. I actually plan to give the dark gray arms of the Clone Gunner from the Battle Pack to my Gordon Freeman custom.

[jacobot]

Saw 7751 Ahsoka's Starfighter & Vulture Droid ship today $54 @ Walmart...it's the same as Anikin's $26 and the Droid ship is smaller than the other one for $26.. WTF

[4lott]

Ran into a Lego rep at TRU yesterday. She gave me 2 minutes to look through the 2009 catalogue. The new Space Police and Agents sets are great!

[SPLIT LIP]

I got my first Power Miner set today, the Claw Digger, it's pretty cool. I love teh rock monster and the build was just plain fun. The actual set is quite fun and it looks great, even though I still am not 100% sold on bright orange and lime green.


Saw 7751 Ahsoka's Starfighter & Vulture Droid ship today $54 @ Walmart...it's the same as Anikin's $26 and the Droid ship is smaller than the other one for $26.. WTFI believe Ahsoka's fighter is actually a slightly different design (based off the same model of craft) while the droid ship is a different kind entirely. I don't know what the WTF is for, since I'm sure there are people who would'nt mind more Vultures.

I plan to get it eventually, as I want the Starfighter and it's peices, I like Vulture droids and I need Ahsoka's head peice for my Shaak Ti custom.

Cool pics... Yours too!

[Bruticus82]

Pretty nice MOC!

[CobraCommander]

I flipped my wig when I came across this site...

http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6950-1

I used to have this as a kid, until I lost all the pieces :(

Sure brought back some good memories, now I'm going to have to hunt down the parts and build it again :)

[Bruticus82]

CC, might want to try bricklink to hunt down some of the pieces, or maybe a set. Although buying it as pieces is probably cheaper.

Do we report sightings here too?
TRU seems to have a "buy 2 or more get 25% off" thing happening. It applies to Bionicle, Castle, and Agent themes.

I think those are the terms of the sale.

I think it ends tomorrow?

[SPLIT LIP]

My Power Miners collection now sits at four. I have Claw Digger, Mine Mech, and the smaller, treaded driller with the blue Rock Monster and bucket. I also have the bike. Very cool line. I really want the big driller machine next.

thunder driller? i have the claw digger,granate grinder,thunder driller and crystal sweeper.

[SPLIT LIP]

Yes, Thunder Driller!

Granite Grinder is my favourite set. It's just so nifty and fun.

[DECEPTICON_BRAWL]

its cool but i like the crystal sweeper the most.not as much as the new republic star wars gunship.

[SPLIT LIP]

Well, I have Thunder Driller. It's a lot of fun, and was a great build, if slightly confusing in the drill. (the part that goes down the center was too short for what the instructions told)

Now I have all the rock monsters so far, as a bonus.

[DECEPTICON_BRAWL]

random thought: if the power miners went underground to stop rumblings they had no idea that they'd find crystals.so why did they make the crystal sweeper witch was MADE to pick up crystals.they had no idea that they would find crystals.so how come they made the crystal sweeper?

dude thats 3 month old news.

[4lott]

Let me qualify what I mean't by my "happy,happy" reaction: I too saw the Toy Fair pics -I'm *Happy, Happy*that they are being released in June. It seems now that every year TRU gets an early release for at least one line.

[Bruticus82]

Space police!!! :-o

I knew nothing of this! Thank you for sharing this "old" news!

[4lott]

Has anyone ever seen this before:
http://brickset.com/detail/?Set=4493443-1

I would have definately picked it up had I found it!

[SPLIT LIP]

I'm done collecting Power Miners. I stopped at Thunder Driller, and I was lookign at some of the new sets and I'm just not uber-excited for them. I have enough for now.

[Robimus]

Saw a bunch of Indy sets today at TRU. Is the one with Short Round new? I haven't noticed it before.

[pdaaat]

Any sightings of Space Police yet?

[4lott]

Space Police, yes, yes and more yes!! TRU has 'em on the shelves here in Quebec. new Agents, Power Miners and Castle too.

[DECEPTICON_BRAWL]

If I was to offer this up for sale or trade would I get any interested parties? I mean these sets are in pretty mint condition for the most part, I have all of their pieces or at least should, with only one exception. One of the Castle Ninja sets is missing pieces unfortunately.
I mean if I could sell them or trade them for other things great, otherwise I'll either just keep them or eventually donate them to Value Village like I did some of my other Lego sets.

[DECEPTICON_BRAWL]

if anyones interested tru's now carry halo wars mega bloks.

[jacobot]

Huntsville Walmart had new Star Wars Lego:
Anikin's clone wars Y-Wing

So... who's going to spend $140 at TRU for the new Admiral Ackbar Limited Edition Ship set I saw in a store today?

http://www.starwars.com/vault/collecting/20090731b.html

What is the most expensive set TRU ever sold?

Woah... Clone Wars Dropship and Walker on Toysrus.ca $349 :eek:

[Robimus]

The Death Star Exclusive to the Lego stores is like $400 US. I don't know what that translates to in the Canadian Lego shops.

[DECEPTICON_BRAWL]

The Death Star Exclusive to the Lego stores is like $400 US. I don't know what that translates to in the Canadian Lego shops.

WOAH!!!! WHAT???? THERES LEGO STORES IN CANADA?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?! but i never saw them on lego.com.

[Maximus*Prime13]

That's because the Bricks & Blocks stores that we have in Ontario (Cookstown, Kitchener, Windsor), are NOT
official LEGO stores & do NOT have the LEGO logo in their name, hence they will not show up on LEGO.com.

[Scrapper6]

Has anyone in Winnipeg seen the two 5$ Pirates sets anywhere still? I really, really, really want those two things even if the price to pieces ratio is a tad off kilter in some instances. (I'm looking at you 5$ Space Speeder from Space Police III. :rolleyes:)

I remember when sets of that size were 1$, one friggin dollar, man inflation really stinks.

[Scrapper6]

TRU has Space Police and Bionicle 20% off this week, starting Oct 9 and ending Oct 15.

Great if you're interested in getting the bigger stuff at a reduced price, even if it is only saving you a couple of dollars. Not so great if you get the smaller sets, which would be cheaper to get at Wal-Mart, Zellers or Real Canadian Superstore. :(:D

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned in the news, but then again maybe it has, just thought I'd donate a heads up for collectors of Space Police and Bionicle that haven't already purchased every single item.;)

[pandaprime]

Sears has 15% off Lego this week... :cool:

[pandaprime]

LEGO Mid-size Millennium Falcon for $30 at my local Walmart. A whole bunch on the endcap!

[Scrapper6]

My opinion of the Atlantis Theme is... AWESOME!

So far I've gotten the two smallest sets, aside from the impulse sets, which I didn't have enough cash for.

The Crab set is great, for 10$, and the Wreck Raider set with the new Atlantis Shark Warrior Mini-Figure is a nifty little 13$ set. I'm highly impressed by what I've seen of this theme, although I'm curious, what exactly are the Keys supposed to be used for?

I also really dig the Power Miners, and I thought I wouldn't, hopefully I'll be able to pick up a few more sets soon.

Next month I'm getting the 20$ Atlantis set with the Shark, here's hoping it'll be just as impressive.

sold out in 4 days, all 6 boxes....

[Team Jetfire]

If it is anything like Calgary, the scalpers have their hands full of these...

[pandaprime]

my local TRU has wave 2 mini-figures for 2.99 each. Limit 3 per family and they are located at the customer service counter...

:new-sighting: at another local TRU I spotted this mini Star Wars republic attack shuttle for 4.99 each. There were lots of pegs full of these on the endcap. They looked pretty neat...

I posted this in the BC sightings thread. London Drugs Granville has lego minifigs for $2.99. There were about 20 pks on a hook hanger in the toy section.

It's pretty impressive I'll grant you, but my interest just doesn't include the Technic stuff. Still, I have to say that is a far cry better than the old little Technic car I used to have as a kid. Of course mine was a racer I think... Ugh, it's the only set I have trouble pinpointing what I actually had, but I still have the chair that it came with. So I know I did have it at some point, just not what it was.

Anybody pick up those new Pharaoh's Quest sets yet?

^ The Pyramid set with a giant Scorpion and a figure flying around reminds me of a ROTF scene ;) I'm looking for Harry Potter sets that seem to have sold out :(

I'm interested in the pyramid set myself, just waiting for a 40+% off sale and I'll get two so I can build a solid pyramid instead of the 2/3 pyramid that one set assembles.

[Scrapper6]

Another TRU sale the next two weeks for LEGO products starts today. 20% off LEGO City, Atlantis, Basic Buckets and Box Sets.

Not much of a markdown on some of the more expensive sets, but great for troop building some of the smaller sets if you buy up two or more of them. Looks like I'll be going to TRU this weekend and getting another Atlantis set perhaps.

Pics of Series 5 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1186828/pics/Series5Collectifigs.jpg)

Here's some pics from a dealers catalogue that've been going around today. I don't think they look too bad. Not as exciting as earlier series, but still fun.

[Scrapper6]

I wish LEGO would give us another production run of Series 1 & 2 the demand is still there for these little suckers and I WANT MORE! Or rather, to Complete my Series 1 collection and start on Series 2... Curse me for waiting so long to nab any of them.

Series 3 has just come out and if I'm lucky they won't sell out before I can get my cash tomorrow and go on a little shopping trip to at least pick up three or four figures. (Can't get all 16 in one go like some people, that's the problem. SIGH.)

Had I the funds dude I'd take those two sets off your hands, anything to get more Batman Sets. :crying: Pity my lack of funds.

As far as rate for resale on them goes... Not sure, I'm thinking they won't be as in demand as some of the later sets since the first year of Batman LEGO was far more abundant than the last few sets... Leastwise in Canada.

I'm pretty sure you could get original retail value for them though, whatever that may be. Like I said, if I had a spare 100 or so I'd scoop'em up from ya.

Isn't series 5 suppose to be the last of the mini-fig blind packs?

[Scrapper6]

Isn't series 5 suppose to be the last of the mini-fig blind packs?

Why on Earth would LEGO rid themselves of something as lucrative as the LEGO Mini-Figures Series?

really?? I hope not! I love these!

I doubt they'd end it on Series 5, personally though Series 5 might be the last series released in 2011 and series 6 might be slated for 2012... I mean series 1 & 2 were the only series released in 2010... And I believe Series 1 came out in January of 2010 and Series 2 was released around Summer of 2010... Or maybe my memory is mislaid.

ANYWAY! I personally think Series 5 looks very good, I don't see much repetition in it, I mean when have we had a British Guard or a Detective? Or the Dino-Suit/Godzilla guy?

I'm still looking forward to where they might go with it eventually. I really think they should make a Dentist Mini-Figure with LEGO Dental Tools. A Female Fashion Model or Art Model would be neat.

Anyone pick up any of the series 8 minifigs? Is it just me or is everyone else having a harder time distinguishing the special parts this time around? Did they thicken up the bags a little?

[tekkamanraiden]

I pickup up 10, ended up with 3 duplicates. I have a hard time feeling whats inside so I usually random grab. I think the biggest issue is that a lot of the figures feel the same due to a lack of unique feeling parts. The only one I was fairly sure of was the Deep Sea diver as the helmet was easy to pick off.

I'll have to see what Lego plans for the Ninja Turtles. Back in 2003, Megablots released a couple of TMNT set which were good but still didn't get much of my attention. From what I've seen from Lego so far, there ain't much improvements that impresses me more than the Megabloks sets.

[Cpl. Chrissandwich]

Any one here get the Old republic star wars sets? I want both, but can only can buy one for now, which do I buy?

I think the Sith one looks better than the Republic one.

I thought so too. and the mini figs are awesome, especially malgus...hence is why I have two hasbro malgus' lol. I really want a sale to happen so I can buy it. Whats TRU policy? 45 days fo a price adjustment? or is that return and price adjustment is like 14?

I dunno what their policy is, but its a good bet that a sale is coming.

Who knows. A week back when they put Kre-O at 30% off I took some bills in (from as far back as the beginning of October) and they price adjusted them no problem.

I say, if they don't notice the date within the 45 day period and they give you the adjustment don't ask, don't tell. It works for the military.

Lol, that dont ask dont tell policy is more for the american military, as we ( I am in the military) are more accpeting.

Anyway, Im just going to bite the bullet and buy the maglus set. Sale or no sale, its its pretty cool at either price.

[Cpl. Chrissandwich]

Ok so, bought the Sith fury-class Intercepter, and got some information on the price adjustment policy on both Walmart and TRU for lego.

Walmart: 30 days to price adjust if item goes on sale in the time frame.

TRU: 14 days to price adjust if item goes on sale in that time frame.

So, buy from walmart. Im probably going to keep it in package for about a week, or until Im fairly certain TRU isnt putting it on sale.

Seriously, if that is their policy I'm glad I didn't speak up about the dates on those bills I price adjusted back at the beginning of the month.

For one thing I wouldn't have gotten back nearly as much cash as I did. :rofl:

Seems to me its a policy they should consider changing, especially if Wal-Mart does 30 days to their 14.

Does anyone else have an overwhelming desire to collect Polybags? They are quite hard to resist, I've found a few decent sets of late and on top of that I've heard that a certain TRU Exclusive Canadian item is quite a rarity indeed.

Which item is that?

Lol, 2013 sets...awesome. I only recent re-bite the lego bug. However it seems thats it more fun collecting lego than Transformers... I may switch.

I have some Polybags. Only the Monster fighters Ghost and Zombie ones. The Zombie one I've only found once.

Has any one seen the Monster Fighters The Zombies set?

[Scrapper6]

Which item is that?

According to Brickset, the Polybagged Heroica set Ganrash, has only been made available in Canadian TRUs. Thus the price of it on the secondary market for Polybagged collectors is understandably higher than the 4.99$ price tag.

LOL! So true! I was at TRU yesterday and it was crazy busy. It was almost like people came by and just cleaned out the shelf within minutes. Went back to the lego section after checking out the other stuff and bam nothing left on the shelf. :eek: Wonder what it will be like on Boxing Day.

Makes collecting at this time of year so difficult sometimes, you have a hankering for LEGO and you find that, it's one of the top brands selling during the Holidays.

Sets seem to linger for months, years, days, weeks even at a time on the shelf throughout the rest of the year, but come November and the big Christmas Rush and BAM! Good luck trying to find rare polybags, let alone some left over merch from the past year or so with all the great sales deals going on.

Personally I'm beginning to think it'd be easier just to buy sets from LEGO online, or hope that we get a LEGO brand store opening up in Winnipeg sometime in the new year. Or the next four years or so.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Especially, getting those polybags sets. I pretty much buy them on the spot. If I wait, they will be gone.

Today's LEGO Haulage includes...

Cars 2 Finn McMissile
Cars 2 Francesco Bernoulli
Super Heroes Captain America's Avenging Cycle
Star Wars MTT Polybag (x2)
Friends Andrea's Stage
Friends Desk Polybag

If in Winnipeg and interested in Polybags might I suggest Regent Area, they seem to have stocked a few more Star Wars items. Not a single Hobbit or LotR Polybag in sight though, dang it I wanted more Uruk.

Looks like Lego now has the new Star Wars sets for sale, so far it looks like the Z95 is the only one with an inflated price a TRU.

[Scrapper6]

Lego Friends sets are kind of addictive, I've picked up ten in the last month alone and they are all pretty sweet. Got a lot of awesome new elements, printing and great accessories, plus the Mini-Dolls are kind of addictive in their own right.

The Piano from Andrea's Stage is just so awesome and cool, I'm tempted to furnish one of the Creator Houses with some of the sets, the problem is I don't know which ones have furniture already and which ones don't. Time to check Brickset.

crap, was hoping it was gonna wait a little longer. Just picked up some of those kre-o blindpacks, the new mario bros S2 blindpacks and a BTTF set.

[Toy Gremlin]

Series 11 showed up at the TRU in Vancouver today. Got the Yeti and the "Blues Brothers" (had to get 2 Saxophone Players ;))! :clapping:

[Scrapper6]

It's the start of Bricktober Month, where TRU has promotions, get's you to blow hundreds of dollars on LEGO all for free items. (Some of which certain AFOLS may not be interested in.)

This year is my first year in participating, and while I'd like to say I can spend the necessary requirements each week, my wallet has suggested that were I to do this it may commit some kind of protest.

That being said, I could not resist.

Besides I've been getting some great finds all of September so far, well ok maybe not 100% great, but I have been making a good bit of headway in adding to my LEGO Mini-Figures collection.

Today I just finished Series 11, nabbed the Sax Player (Man was it hard to track one down.) I have all of Series 11 and 7 doubles so far, can you guess which ones I got doubles of? ;)

Also bought the LEGO City Police Helicopter Poly.

I would have gotten the Seaplane today, but TRU was all out. (They hand them out fast I guess when your limit is 30$ compared to the 75$ it takes to get the Minifigure Collection.)

Finally picked up Eris' Eagle Interceptor from LoC and nabbed the new Friends Advent Calendar because... Well the price per piece ratio is a bit wonky considering what size pieces you're getting, but the unique mini-figs are nice and it was cheaper than the Star Wars one. (Chances are they'll have a 20-25% off LEGO Star Wars sale during Bricktober Month anyway.)

The first collection from this year's Bricktober features a LEGO City Robber, Police Officer, Female Citizen, Female Doctor and Castle Theme Court Jester. Not much in the way of excitement compared to the vintage style Mini-Figs they offered up in 2012, however they've still got some decent torso printing and more females never hurt.

At Costco I picked up LEGO Minifigure Year by Year a Visual History from DK Publishing, the book is excellent, for a rant on my feelings of the LEGO Mini-Figures included with the book please see the TFW2005 LEGO Thread as I have no wish to write a 3000 word essay on the subject again.

Since they were all out of the Seaplane Poly *SIGH* the friendly cashier substitued a Kre-O Poly of the Classic Enterprise from the t-v show. (She also allowed me to pick up a free loose Mini-Figure, which I think is more for the kids who come in during the Mini-Fig swap day... Guess they had leftovers or something that were needed to get rid of.) Picked up a Rebel A-Wing Pilot from the 2013 set.

Anyway, today's first foray into Bricktober month has been fun, just not sure if I'll be able to swing by in order to get the other two Mini-Figure collections, which look to feature some pretty basic figures, however the Astronaut from Vol. 2 and the Wizard from Vol. 3 would definitely be nice to own.
