Well the LEGO rep in the chat just confirmed that Ninjago City can be connected to the other modulars.

... and it's back.

And now the designers drop "so have you seen the giant Millennium Falcon?" casually into their discussion. Of course no follow up LOL.

Worst kept secret ever, lol. So badly kept it feels intentional. If they somehow keep it from leaking images till official date yet keep on dropping these teases I will be mega impressed. As it is, I am sorta shocked it hasn't leaked yet.

So, just out of curiosity, do people on here have much experience transitioning little ones into Lego? Because lately, my 3 year old nephew has become OBSESSED with my Lego collection. Which somewhat awkwardly means... he really, really loves the modulars, especially the Fire Brigade, even despite being limited on touching them. (I swear, I feel like I'm treading a weird line of trying not to be Will Ferrell in the Lego Movie. But it's a necessary evil, as he's still at the age where he plays wild and rough and doesn't understand needing to be careful not to break things, so if he was let loose I'd have modulars in a billion parts on the floor in a minute... and then he'd be begging me to fix them. So yeah, for now he just messes with the minifigures and the moveable parts on the outside. And at least for now, he fortunately at least doesn't know the floors come apart, and he must never learn of that... at least until he's a bit older.)

Got him some Duplo for Christmas which he enjoys, but man, he REALLY wants the "real" stuff. And so... despite perhaps not being the best plan, went a bit over his age range, so now he has a Mater and McQueen from Cars 3 in the Junior range. (The plan is to keep an eye on him with those, thanks to the small parts). And man, seems to have worked like a charm, as he is going nuts and is super enjoying them. Now I just need him to get accustomed enough that I can somehow justify getting him the Lego City Fire Station, as that seems absolutely perfect for him, but he's just a bit of a little guy for such a thing right now...

So yeah, just curious on what other people have done with that. Think there's a game plan, but yeah... Interesting being on the other side of getting Lego for a youngster, haha.

Also, just let me say: Man, I wish Lego could at least take the same approach that they do with these Junior sets for the Expert stuff, if nothing else. So nice to have all prints with no stickers, despite there being a TON of parts that'd definitely be stickers elsewhere. (Totally glad they at least do indeed do that for these things though. Makes a lot of sense and I can see it being a godsend that these parts aren't stickers that'll peel off with use, as these are assuredly going to get a LOT of use.)

Did you think about gluing his sets together? I know most people would hate to do that to their sets, but obviously little people are a special case. It'd definitely help with him being able to (a) play with the Cars more and (b) be less likely to break them.

As an aside, my friend's daughter started doing the Friends LEGO around 4-5, so I wouldn't worry TOO much about the complexity of stuff. If anything, it gives you a reason to chill with him and do them together.

My son just turned 5. I've been getting him Juniors sets and small City sets and he's done a great job with them. The Juniors stuff is great at that age because kids do consider those "real" sets but they're much easier to put together.

I got my son the Bulldozer Breakout (or some such) City set for his birthday. Watching him put it together right now. He's flying through it and making very few mistakes. This is the first age 5+ set he's put together on his own so he's pretty proud I think.

If anyone is looking for a sense of scale maybe the boxes will help. It is tall, Tower of Orthanc was my biggie before but while Orthanc has a little bit bigger footprint and a bit more heft to it this does nose it out and you have to watch out when you are carrying it. I love the module sections and I love how the lander can be displayed or put into the rocket. Its quite obvious why this set is getting attention not just from Lego fans but on the other hand i'm sure there was already a crossover there between groups.

I'm not quite sure where i'm going to put this on my end of the year list. I can say for sure it will be on the list but its not going to be high as I originally thought. I know my complaints before were not shared and I don't know maybe I got a different set than everyone else. With my bad eyesight and the way I have to build things might also have been a factor but the first part of the building experience was just not enjoyable at all for me. As the bags went on and I could get more panels in place to hold the thing together it didn't have the exploding in my hands effect anymore but I was still soured. Now the last two modules I had zero issues with, it was just the bottom booster that was giving me troubles.

This all kind of ties together into what I can sum up into one complaint for this set, it feels like a MOC set not an official Lego set. And I don't mean that to disparage MOCers at all. I have seen so many MOC's and alot from LegoGAFFERs I would kill to have for displays. I feel there is a difference though between great display pieces and fun builds and they don't always go together. Thats why i'm all for TLG taking Ideas sets that make it to become an official set being reworked by them and maybe having the build process and parts changed. That will ensure a fun build process and hopefully a sturdy build that a MOCer may not be thinking about during their process. Now as far as the Saturn V I will give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe they couldn't find a better way to refine the build process and given the model I can see that. And there were some building techniques used here that were pretty darn cool. On the other hand there was obviously things done I didn't like and caused me a literal headache.

I don't want to drone on anymore about that though because I don't mean to bad mouth or discourage anyone from this set. It's a really awesome set and I hope everyone who wants one gets one. When finished its beautiful and anyone who sees it on display will surely be asking about it. Unless theres some major unrevealed sets still to come its still going to be in my top five this year probably.

Kids get more comfortable with LEGO based on their exposure to it. The problem with your situation is that your nephew's motor skills are still developing. As much as I'd love to enable you with recommendations of big purchases I think the Juniors line is where you need to be.

For what it's worth, both of my girls got comfortable with standard LEGO sets between the ages of 5-6.

So I've got a 3 and a half year old and a 1 and half year old. Based on my observations so far, the 3 and a half year old really enjoys just playing with the sets we've got (after the set is built), she prefers the Friends sets though she also plays with some of the Creator sets. She can do a bit of the build by herself, but usually she loses focus and just wants to play. So it'll probably take a while longer before she's comfortable to do it all.

The 1 and a half year old loves lego just as much, though there are times where he'll just throw pieces on the floor so I have to watch what he does.

We keep our lego in their sets for now, so its just a matter of keeping the pieces in the right place, sometimes that can be a bit tricky.

I think your nephew would love the fire station, even if he can't build it, he'll spend hours just playing with it, you can even help him build it together. I'm planning to get our kids the Lego Friends Hospital maybe for Christmas.

I think I mentioned my friend's 3,5 year old who visited my collection. He really loved the Time Cruisers car I gave him. I also gave him a box of used 2x4 parts and some wheels I didn't need. I wouldn't mind giving him more but it would be a little awkward.

Neither me nor my sister have kids yet so there's no natural recepients for old stuff.

This is the big retailer-exclusive (TRU) set for the Jungle Explorers subtheme of CITY. In my opinion, this is one of the best, if not the best, of these "explorer" exclusives from recent years, and is a very complete playset on its own.

It also makes me look forward to the eventual return of Indiana Jones to LEGO.

Stopped by local Target and Wal-Mart. Target had a bunch of stuff on discount but it was barely marked down.

Wal-Mart, however, was bananas.

Batman/Blue Beetle set for $40
Batman/Killer Croc/Red Mask set for $44
Lego Batman Ultimate Batmobile for $90
Few more I can't remember for at least 30% off, sometimes more.

Tie Striker for $40
Poe's X-Wing for $45
U-Wing for $48
Takodana for $40
Hovertank for $17

Plus several Ninjago/City/Minecraft sets that I didn't pay attention to.

I got the hovertank set because if I got anything bigger my wife might kill me right now. Figured some people might be interested.

Honestly, this is the single best looking display set Lego has ever put out as far as buildings/landscape scenes are concerned...

I had Haunted House standing next to it and it looks second rate next to it so i took it away lol

So me and a friend have been working on getting a version of my city up and running. I'm not done, but it is fun to play around with it. The wooden house on the left my friend built and subsequently destroyed because it didn't fit the theme. Thing will be rebuilt and changed over time as well new structures being added, but I like to have at least an early build of my city on display. Placing the figs also turned out to be more fun than I expected.

Finally got around to building the Turbo Track Racer 31070.

Fantastic set with tons of detail and features. It's like 80% of one of the expert creator cars, but at 60% the cost.

Doesn't have super crazy techniques for out-of-this-world angles, but it's a solid, solid set.

So does the fire extinguisher mean it's from the same designer as the adventure plane and black panther jet?

I know the theme didn't set a lot of people on fire (hoho?) but since it includes a volcano it seems kind of complete and self-contained and all you need from this subtheme. But then I know I'll want to buy Ninjago movie stuff soon. Ho hum. Do you guys have any thoughts?

It's one of the sets I considered, but in the end the other sets I bought looked more interesting to me so I passed. The CITY sets are overpriced for what you get, so the clearance knocks it down to a more reasonable amount and makes it tempting.

I haven't made much progress on the batcave but here's a pick of what little I did do over the weekend, hoping to get stuck into it this week and get the other side more fleshed out before working on the rock walls above, hopefully it'll extend about the height of the middle tower again
