I had a google. Apart from Gyarados they all seem completely inappropriate for being made with interlocking bricks.
The Ninjago minifigs look like a definite skip for me, with the probable exceptions of the ramen bowl guy and the selfie-stick guy, both have cool new parts
But convincing myself that I'm "saving" ~$60-80 by not getting them (as I usually get all the minifigs) will probably push me over the edge into buying that amazing giant city set lol

The 10" -> 12", probably, but the 10" -> 16" puzzles me... A 18 studs long part protuding? I can't see it. Even if it's 9 studs on both sides.
Received a 30 euro coupon for a toy store chain from my inlaws (my father-in-law always gets one as a present from his company. Who knows why?)
Went to see if there was anything cool te pick up, but nothing really grabbed me. The Quad Jumper was what I was looking for, but it wasn't placed in the ailes. I could see the boxes way up above, where they store their stock, so it means they didn't have place to display it. This means in two or three weeks they'll get an alarm this set sells like shit, so it will be discounted.
Coupon is usable until december though, so I might just use it to get a 30 euro discount on BB-8 come september.
I did felt and grabbed two minifig bags though. Rocket Boy and Corn Dude are mine!

Maybe TLG views the right front hand side as the front, and the left front hand side as the side of the building? IOW we're viewing the measurements backwards? I could see the tree blossom branches being and additional 5-6 inches above the 10" baseplate minimum.

Early morning tip...don't try to move Tower Bridge without partially disassembling!

..and then you'll want the minifigs to further populate the city?
Oh dear. What happened?

At least you have something to (re)build this weekend.

How do you pick it up and carry it? I always put my hands through the archways and picked it up like that. Everything else seemed to support itself.

Obviously I grabbed in the wrong spot-under the blue foot bridges on top. Not a huge deal as it stayed in big chunks. I picked it up at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago and assembled to make sure it was complete. It's so massive that I'll probably end up breaking it down for my eventual Lego room in the future.
Ha, glad to know I'm not the only one this has happened to. I still haven't fixed mine yet.

Yeeesh. Yeah, picking it up by the top connection would be perilous. I was terrified to try that. But once reassembled, the archways where the cars go through are the best places and most stable to move it around by.
And sorry to hear about the disaster.

I've been building the Minecraft Mountain Cave and I have to say that it is a very enjoyable build. There is very little repetition so far. I also like how there is an interior Technic skeleton surrounded by the Minecraft visuals. It makes it very strong. I don't have any fears of it falling apart like I did with the Silent Mary.
Built the Scout Trooper and bike. Thing looks amazing and is pretty big but... these kind of builds just aren't really my thing. Can't say I enjoyed putting it together. Not that it doesn't have some cool stuffgoing on, but I feel a lot of the shape and detail of the bike comes from very specific types of parts and not really from building with pieces.
Then again, I like these figs for their display value, and of every one I've built until now, this one takes the cake

It's time for Princesses Builds!
The group of princesses found a pile of something....
Hrmm....
Elsa uses her magic..
Team work!
Merida reading the instructions...
Rapunzel thinks something is wrong...
Aurora checks on it...."I know guys are suppose to have a thing sticking out, but that doesn't look right...."
A few fixes later...
On to the arms....
Now for the final touch....
Yay! We did it!!
"Ohhh....where am I?"
"Quit fooling around and get back to your post!"
"Yes, sir!"

The Scout Trooper is a standard constraction build. If you've done one of them before, most of it is similar. However, that speeder itself takes the cake!
Finishing bag #2. It's amazing how a lot of the parts came together. I'm always amazed by Technic parts and how the parts come together.
More than half of the time, I have no idea what I was building. You have odd stuff like this but somehow it all fixes really well together.
The speeder on its own...
Very lovely build. I've always enjoyed the speeder battle scene in RotJ. Now I feel like getting a few more speeders!

Honestly, no clue. I know they were just filler. The SNOT is the real gold.

after a long hiatus on working on the batcave I got a start on the Batcomputer this weekend
I'll probably do a custom sticker for the middle of the screen, I was thinking maybe a close up of robin in the CCTV going "hello secret camera" unless anyone has any better ideas.
There'll be a little C shaped console with a chair in the center of it all when I'm done with it all, i'll have to sneak in the red batphone too

The Alfred parental lock with the short kid-like Batman could be funny too.
Did that scene make it into the movie? I can't recall
EDIT> If I went with the parental lock idea I reckon I'd definitely have to do it an all screens, that'd be awesome
Sauble beach. So just enough to be bear country.
Did another night of working on the
lego creator plane with my 3 and half year old and my grandfather.
Had a blast. He's starting to get better at doing it and his great grandfather really seems to get sucked into the fun of the build.

Yea it was, that's the scene. Totally worth it to see Batman locked out of his Batputer. Either that or have Bat-Porn on it.

I felt dirty posting it. Still weirds me the hell out.
Only time the Barbara/Bruce pairing didn't bother me was LEGO Batman, since they were seemingly close in age, and she was a new person to him. And she came across as stronger and more together than he did.

I uh....hmmm
I did toy with the idea of putting a phone in to display something but it'd need to be about twice the size to fit it in., it's already going to precariously balanced on that platform as it is
I liked how they were intentionally vague about Bruce's age in the movie. They showed clips of him in his really old costumes implying he was really up there but then quickly handwave it off with "wow he ages really well". There's no universe where Batman and Batgirl aren't a weird creepy thing. Batman needs to stick with Catwoman meowmeowmeow.

I wonder what lego will bring to San Diego comic con this year, my bet is the Luke x Han Solo Death Star escape set from Star Wars celebration
Or more 2 pack brick headz

From one site I read, it'll be back in stock at the start of July and we're also getting the double points.
Where are you?
I bought it in store three days ago, and there was a bunch of those. It may be available in stores if you have one nearby...
You got it answered fast - Brickheadz duo Spider-man and Venom

So that's one of them - wonder what will be the exclusive for the 21st and 23rd?
Or does the Hollywood Reporter just have the dates wrong?
EDIT - Brickset is suggesting that the numbering on the box (15 and 16) may indicate that another duo (13 and 14) will be available as well.

Looks like its 12 studs wide, almost in scale with the others
If its $160 I'll pass, thats just too much for me. Hopefully they're nice and its $130. Bigger is not always better as that usually means its more expensive. I liked the previous vehicles cause they were great expert level builds at a relatively low cost.

i know july has a special AFOL brickhead build of wonder woman, would that count as one of 13/14?

I am not sure either. It does not wow me. I have to see it next another vehicle, but for sure it is not for this yesr, which is already packed.
Last yeat sets weren't numbered, were they?

Weird considering a lot of people would like to collect them and will miss those sets. Exclusives shouldn't be numbered imo.
