Looks like a rethemed Heroica set. I guess this is why that line is disappearing.
I like how the Uruk Hai is like "Big Smile"

If you look at a list of orders, there should be a few icons to the right of the date. The scroll one takes you to a list of all items that were on your wanted lists. From there you can check all and move or delete them. If you don't have that scroll, click Customize Display and check "Items in Order on My Wanted List Icon" and you should have it.

Yessss time to leverage my dorm's absurd board game budget to buy me that helm's deep game. It shall become a drinking game.
5000? That's gonna be less than 1 per box isn't it? :|

I'd like to think that LEGO produces more than 5000 boxes of each series, so yes, this is going to be "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" level of rare.
The way it is worded, it sure sounds like it.
If there was one per case, and each case can only produce 2 full sets, then by that logic there would only be 10,000 full sets in the world. That is way too low.
Speculators are going to ruin this for everyone, aren't they?

I fear they will. Probably snatching up boxes of them before anyone else can buy. Ugh.
Weren't the SDCC exclusive minfigs produced at a limited quantity of 1000 for each of the four? And they are commanding $200+ each on eBay.
I may still buy a case of S10, assuming I can find one in short order. That way I can get my full set without hassle, and offer up the rest to LEGO GAF.

There were 10,000 of those Chrome Gold C3POs randomly inserted into Star Wars sets and it looks like those sell for ~$300 on eBay.

how about those limited edition captain america and ironman minifigures that were sold for 1700 Euros?

no way us peasants will have a chance of scoring these golden minifigures, they are going straight to ebay

I can't really see any of those as figs I want unfortunately.
Maybe Roman Commander and Tomahawk Warrior.

Part of me hopes that the gold figure is a unique mold so you can easily fish it out. That way normal people can still find the regular figures since the speculators snatched up the chase figure.
Another part of me wants the gold fig to be a plain mold or identical to one of the other figures so that it is impossible to find without opening it.

If it's not this, you'll likely never see one, as employees will get to them first. It's like the Gold skylanders.

Well, if the speculators grab lots of boxes, maybe they'll sell opened bags of the rest cheap on eBay/CL.

Screw them. I shouldn't have to resort to that to get the regular figures. But sadly, I see that happening.
Seeing your avatar I have a (weird) question for you
Does your Batman have really white eyes? The bandana/eyes on mine is a bit pinkish. Like the white paint on the head is a bit transparant. It bugs me and I am considering sticking tiny white stickers on the head so that his eyes are whiter.
Question is also for other peeps who have a Batman fig
Every Batman fig I've seen has that slight fading in the band.

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but are we expecting there to be a double VIP promotion in March? I'm dying to head over to the LEGO store for my birthday in February, but I'll hold off until March if there's going to be double VIP.

Mention of those SDCC exclusive figures just annoys me so much, I would have loved them but for those prices? Forget that. It's bad enough on Craigslist where people think small sets from the 90's are worth 40 bucks or more when I can find them online for five bucks...those gold minifigs will lead to madness, haha.
Watch me try to get one just for the hell of it...=/

Re-pasting someone's educated guesses based on parts appearing in the LEGO database for those who haven't seen it before:
Tin Soldier is for a book release.
EDIT: On hindsight, the "punk hairdo" should go to the tomahawk guy who'll obviously be wielding a tomahawk instead of that spear. Librarian girl uses a different hairdo, visor on paintball guy.
Just confirmed a big trip for me... heading to the US for 7 weeks, 5 of them working in Atlanta.
Going to hit up a real proper Lego store for the first time. Suddenly had the urge to raid the PAB wall and create something I've been thinking about for a while, but never got around to... a map of Westeros (Game of Thrones) in Lego to go underneath the surface of our glass dining table. Always bugged me that there was a space under there but we never use it...

February 8th/9th, unless they leak at the German show (as they did last year), which is on the 31st.
I had a person at SDCC trying to get at least one of the minifigs for me, but unfortunately they were not picked in any of the draws.

if this series will indeed look like this I will not spend much money on it ... only 3 figures are interesting to me

I see a Rory Pond, Captain Haddock and a painter to replace the one in Pet Shop?
Something that was just pointed out in a set review I was watching:
Checked my set, and it is the same.
I went to the LEGO store at lunch today and all of them are like this. I hadn't picked it up yet so I decided to snag it before they fix it. I'm sure it's not going to make a huge difference in the scheme of things but the collector in me had to do it.
I almost bought 79101 Shredder's Dragon Bike today but when I realized it was 25 bucks with the same piece count as the Batman set I decided against it. I'll wait for it to go on sale at Amazon or something.
That's why you better get your bag handling skills down pat right now, or at least be prepared to buy every Minifig bag that you see at Toys "R" Us or Target and feel them at home and then return them.

Liking the Creator eagle a lot. Highly posable.
My little boy is on a huge Toy Story kick at the moment, so I snagged all these cheap on eBay. Truth is, he's a little young for them - they are really for me.
Not pictured: the Build-a-Buzz set still on the way, the Toy Story train (got cheap at a TRU here in the UK last week), and the RC car set I bought last year.
It's things like this that prove I've got it baaaaaad. One day, GAF, I will show you a pic of the wardrobe in my spare room that is just rammed with boxes. And which has the boxes for the Death Star on top.
But hey - at least I can sell all this on in a few years to start a college fees fund for my kid, right?

Is there an email address for Lego that I can email to? Other than the contact us form on their official site?
Previous series (except 4 I think) have had 3 sets per box.
I hope they're not the minifigures that are in the sets, I hope it's just gold legs, torso and head\hair with no printing

I don't get the second bullet point, does this mean they're re-releasing select minifigs from older series?
I just thought it was referring to Series 9, 10 and 11.
ah ok, I assume this means there's still only 2 series released per year still? I don't know if my wallet can handle 3 a year
When ghost when????

You can do it, but only when you have actually just finished the purchase. When you have finished checkout, there should be an option to "view items in this order on your wishlist" or something similar to that. However, I think that is your only chance to do this. Obviously it doesn't help you now, but look for that option the next time you check out. Hope that helps.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
Just got an email from LEGO support. I ordered parts a month ago and one item has been out of stock. I've emailed them twice asking if it shipped. The email I just received apologized for the delay and they have shipped the order without the part that is back ordered. They will send it out in a few weeks when it is restocked. They are also sending me a $20 gift card for my trouble. Best customer service ever!

Fire Brigade has jumped back to $150 on Amazon. Target seems to be the only place still at the $120 price point. Signs of stock running out? (Amazon also stopped discounting the last few sets of the Imperial Shuttle).
Whats this?? You can't just drop stuff like that. Why does that other picture show a bigger collectors type box behind it? That's too big for just a mini fig.
