I went to go order more parts for the X-agents and the hair I used for scully has been decimated! I could only find 179 across 5 different stores compared to several hundred a few weeks ago on there. I snapped them up quickly as the first run of agents is running out fast.
I started prototyping Cancer man! I have plans to make his cigarettes and a pack of morleys but I'm stuck on hair choice, which do you guys prefer?

Dark grey fits better with the overall minifig I find.

What about this hair?

Agree on the 2nd, darker hair.
Agree that a trenchcoat would be cool, but the fig has one printed on it to tell it appart.
Must stop looking at those SW sets btw. I'm itching for a new set and I really want that Falcon. I'll probably overspend come Force Friday. Especially as I'll order that Wall-E immidiatly when it comes up.
Any idea when double VIP will hit? Then maybe I'll stretch my purchases (Rey's Speeder, Tie and X-Wing are on my list too) out... Will order the big sets appart anyway, to use as much VIP discount as possible (If I count it right, I can have 5 euro's off on every purchase)

Definitely pic 2. Looks better and the part is going in the right direction as well.
Yeah i noticed but man it seems so lame. A proper trenchcoat would make it a wonderful mini, i think.
EDIT Oh and is that "cancer man" mini using Palpatine's head?

Wetwired, what are you gonna do about his actual cigarette though 
?
He does look great without one of course but he's not really the cigarette smoking man without a cigarette now is he?
Hmm maybe a pack of cigarettes would work as well...
edit: nevermind i just saw you're already on that
edit2: on a sidenote, i FINALLY snagged the Milano!!!

Any cigarette is gonna end up looking like a cigar in LEGO form.

Now I want a Fidel Castro fig. Hey that could be a new CMF line, Warlords and Dictators. It could be fun and educational!

Hey, mega bloks has the call of duty license, right? If a ww2 throwback game happens someday, all bets are off.
Alternatively, throw it on ideas and see how fast it is shut down.

Awesome idea! After seeing "The Interview" I would like a Kim Jong-un minifig.

The plan is to get a long bar, print orange all around one end for a filter, cut a different smooth it shorter and use a paint pen to dab the end tip red. I would use the paint on the filter but it's not as durable as pad printing.
The plan for cancer man is the above minifig (I will have to order one of those star wars hairs to test) with trenchcoat 2x cigarettes, 1x 1x1 red tile with Morley packet printed on and a collectible minifig grey alien in a bundle. It'll be a bit cheaper than the agents. I'm to do a little alien baby in a jar on a 1x1 round brick but I have to figure out how to do it and still be cost effect, it may even just be a sticker, not sure yet.
This bundle will be much more limited though, I'm only making 50 vs the 200 agents. I can't see him being as popular

Based on the logo and some of the set names, the theme seems to be leaning towards a future/space + medieval mashup due to the heavy use of non-brass metal in the logo.
Could still be steampunkish, but I associate steampunk a lot with brass/bronze metal, wood, and/or leather.

The font is very Sci fi too
So I've ordered the more specialised parts needed to make the official Batpod (the rest I probably have in my collection).
...just gotta wait for LEGO (or a competition winner) to put the instructions out there!
I need to do the same. How much did you spend for those specific pieces.
I need to do this too. As above is there already a parts list out there?

No parts list yet - obviously the wheels (well the tyres and the wheels) are specific, so they were easy to track down. And the Hero Factory parts clearly identifiable from the three released pics. I *think* all the other parts are quite common.
But I wanted to grab em before they sold out as they aren't that widely available, and I imagine a few people will Bricklink the model.
LEGO has only just told the winners they have won them and not sent the sets out - but has previously promised to put the instructions out.
If you want to try and grab em now, the three parts in the pic are:
6 x 92222
Pearl Dark Gray Hero Factory Shield with Handle for Clip (x6)
2 x 18450
Black Tire 81.6 x 44 R (x2) ..... GBP 11.10 each = GBP 22.20
2 x 56908
Black Wheel 43.2mm D. x 26mm Technic Racing Small, 6 Pin Holes (x2) ..... GBP 0.90 each = GBP 1.80

Very smart. I bet that part (Pearl Dark Gray Hero Factory Shield with Handle for Clip) gets sold out completely soon. Not many of them out there.
Best to buy those parts now! Will definitely increase the value of even a MOC until that part is more readily available.
Scooby Doo is getting a theatrical movie coming in 2018 as well as being tied into a larger Hanna-Babara cinematic universe. Can you guys image LEGO Flintstones and Jetson sets?

I have been imagining already for a many years. They will never get made within the LEGO Ideas banner because to be done right, they need moulded heads or new hair moulds.
Is there a way to see the volume of sales for specific parts on bricklink? I'm considering cleaning out most of my technic parts (just don't have space for those and normal system parts) but don't want to be waiting months and selling one or two parts here and there. Are there alternatives for selling job lots other tha horrific eBay 'price per lb'?
Shut up and take my money
BentBricks

In Bricklink, you can specify the quantity they must buy the parts. You can also create "lots" with all different parts and quantities.
When you see something like (4x) on bricklink, it means you have to buy 4 at a time of that item.
What's horrific about 'price per lb'? It all depends on the price you can get per lb. Shipping costs can kill any profit. Best if can sell local. Craigslist is one way, but I'm wary of using that site. I've never sold any LEGO outside of Bricklink, but have recently sold a few items on eBay for my first time so I may consider eBay in the future.
There was an article on Brickset that Trade4Cash would buy LEGO by the pound. I have some I was planning on selling in bulk a small bag of used LEGO I didn't want to deal with, but it looks like they ended that program only after a few months. The links are no longer valid. That sucks because now I probably have to resort to eBay to sell them.
EDIT: This is the article, but they no longer buy LEGO. http://brickset.com/article/14089/have-too-much-lego-need-some-cash

Alright... That logo of Nexo Knights gets me excited. Been a while since we had a good castle theme especially since I missed Kingdoms
EDIT: extra excited now it's Lego system and possibly CCBS sets similar to what Chima did.

Never gonna happen, but since we're just wishing...
Space Ghost!!!! (I can imagine this one happening if Hanna Barbara hits Dimensions ever)
Blue Falcon!!!!
Magilla Gorilla please!
Grape Ape (big fig)

What about this hair?
Gonna have to buy one and try it out
This would be a great opportunity to do a collectable minifigures line. I'd love to get a Huckleberry Hound minifigure.
