Done buying LEGO until Town Hall comes out.
So, where will you put your Town Hall? Between Pet Shop and GE?
I'd love to have Green Grocer, I'm sure it would look great in this order: GE, GG, TH, PS, FB

Grand Emporium is a for sure purchase during double VIP time. Very excited!

Great question but I think you are right, between Pet Shop and GE seems optimal. Town Hall has a similar shape to Fire Brigade (especially with the clock and bell towers) so I think it will be best not to put it right next to FB.
I just bought two Series 6 minifigs.
I got two butchers. Fuuuuuu.
I just got two minotaurs. We should battle, omg.
/actually hoping to make a minotaur vs buther vignette at some point

Lurking in this thread for a week made me jump the gun on eBay last night.
I got all of this coming soon:
Now I have to find a way to hide it for a while.....

Hide from your girlfriend?
Grabbed these over the past week.
I have only built the mini tow truck so far. Will be building the mini mobile crane soon. Think I will leave the MMV in it's box for now, Not sure where I will put it once constructed.
Also not sure if I will be getting anything in March with the double VIP points yet. I want to, but my wallet might get angry.

I have almost no interest in the series 6 figures. Though I think the Samus knockoff fig is hilarious.

Fuuuuck, a haunted house sounds awesome.
And your avatar is giving me serious nostalgia. I was really into the castle and pirate themes of the late 80s, early 90s. I got my ghost with a small pirate cove set I think...? I can't remember. May have been in one of those over-priced $5-10 sets that had a figure or two, a couple accessories and maybe a wall piece and some studs.
I'm guessing its not a true modular seeing as though it appears to have something at the back sticking out that would prevent it from attaching to a modular. It also has windows on the side which modulars don't tend to do.
Does look fucking sweet though

Having the LEGO store so close to work is dangerous. Had an itch to buy something so I got a battle pack. Here is the scene I created on my desk
How much?
You guys are making me want to get into LEGO again.

Search your feelings, accept your fate!
This is a small, inexpensive battle pack, 12.99. Target carries it too if you don't have a LEGO store nearby.

Isn't the "Luke's Landspeeder" set a new set as well as this Droid Escape one? I only ask because the C-3PO figures are different. This one looks more detailed.
Thanks I didn't even know about the contest.
I also changed my avatar to represent LEGOGAF!
The Luke's Landspeeder set is from 2010 I think. The C-3PO in the picture is from the droid escape set and it's definitely more detailed than the one that came with the Landspeeder. I can take a picture of them side by side if you'd like.

The Minecraft stuff looks kind of underwhelming, but I'll probably end up buying it anyway. It looks like it'll have decent display potential.
Not sure if this was answered yet -- yes it does.

That's the set that brought me back also, a few weeks ago. I was trying to figure out how to build the alternate mode from the pics, but so far can't figure it out.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
It breaks my heart that there are so few of these MOCs that include instructions or at the very LEAST a parts list. ;_;
Nope. I only buy things from the LEGO store if I can price it out cheaper than you can buy it for on Amazon. I include the 5/10% VIP points as well when I do the math. I'm lucky though as I have an extra 10% discount from the actual LEGO store as I have an annual Disney pass which the Downtown Disney store accepts.

I don't play Minecraft but regardless, this doesn't even really look like LEGO to me. It looks like those LEGO knock-offs you always see in the LEGO aisle.
Thanks for the info. I assume there are lists for parts for the stuff that's out of print right? I saw the Green Grocer and Market Street and I'm quite sad that I missed out on both.
X-Wing came in today! Took a little over two hours with a break for dinner but really excited. It was a lot of fun to build but building 4x of the wings got a little repetitive of course.
Couldn't resist the price from that B&N sale. I want to get the 120-ish Millenium Falcon next.

B&N does have good prices on the sets they do carry. Too bad they dont get the UCS stuff.
They are also a great place to get the Architecture sets whenever they send out coupons.

Yup, you can get parts lists/inventories at a variety of places. I tend to use Bricklink.com but Rebrickable.com is another good source. Here's the Bricklink inventories for Green Grocer and Market Street (and for good measure, Cafe Corner).

Someone's War of the Worlds tripod.
Interestingly, it was the Alien Defense Force tripods that got me back into Legos just last year. The one above is really fantastic IMO.

Yikes, $130+ is rough for a set that small. I may just brick link the main parts, haha. Great find though!

DAMN YOU ALL POSTING ABOUT MODULARS! My resolve is weak enough with saving up for Star Wars sets. I dont need the modulars!
Anyways, I am continuing to sort my old collection. Picked up some more Stanley Sortmaster containers and have probably half the collection sorted so far. Looking through my pile of old instruction manuals I know I am missing tons of stuff though. Some of it I know is my niece and nephew (she has all the horses from my castle sets), but the sheer amount of wheels missing from the big space sets means there must still be a box at my mother's house. I wonder if she can find it and ship it to me.

I received this today, my collector's mentality overwhelming monetary concerns (though the other two OOP modulars are way too pricey to do anything but make by parting them out, unless I come into a secret inheritance.
Soon, my pretty, soon...
Any Earth ships would be cool. I would think that an Ori ship would be a cool set piece with all the curves and whatnot.
Someone made one with a rotating ring and light up chevrons. That is badass.
Holy crap that is amazing!
WANT!
