Just learned of the Blue Express and...as a fan of tiny train sets i gotta say, this really doesn't hold a candle to the Emerald Express from a couple years back. ( or the recent Winter Train promo set for that matter)
Will still get 3 of course!
Also: Just thought of how awesome it would be to actually have tiny train tracks for these guys to run on, there's no such thing though right?

Why? Isn't it gonna be widely available soon?
Some people really aren't smart enough to say "hey, that looks cool, I wonder where it sold originally," and then use Google.
Thanks for making me sad at humanity on a Saturday morning.
Totally agree - my favorite Batman movie as well!

Oh my god I just saw the Lego Batman Halloween costumes.
LOL.
I saw this linked to the LEGO Batman Movie article:

This cracks me up:
Someone needs to watch the end of The Lego Movie again.
Awww, I guess no more Lego Ghostbusters then.

I've not been keeping up the last week or so - have we seen these yet?
Yeah, Guavian comes with the Rathtar set, Rey with the Quadjumper. And the Freemakers come with some really cool named set that you're way less interested in when you realize it's Freemaker.
Nice find!
It seems that the Star Wars sets were shown at Nuremberg, including an invite-only "The Last Jedi" sets reveal!

Hmm. The black-haired female in the back row? Could it be Kelly Marie Tran's character?
Or, hmm, I suppose maybe that black droid? Dunno.
Is that hair? I thought it was a helmet, like the helmet worn by the Imperial Fleet soldiers:
Yes, the former, plus the Resistance Trooper beside her. There Isnt a Resistance Trooper listed for any known upcoming sets, and this one is different than the Force Awakens troopers.
I think the black droid is from the Vader transformation set.

Ah man, sorry about posting spoilers. I assumed all of the ones I didn't recognize were Freemaker figs.
I wouldn't worry about it. A couple of characters wearing Resistance gear isn't much of a spoiler.
Picked up the Super Hero Airport Battle this afternoon for my son - he had been wanting it forever. That Giant-Man is the absolute truth. I would buy licensed figures in that size and style all day. I had heard good things but didn't really understand until I put it together and held it. Wow.

I wish imaginext got this licence - for my money better than playmobil in every way.
Wish they got the big disney IP's as well the playskool heroes versions are no good

Toss it in the washer. Gentle cycle.
Just kidding. Brush with soft bristles. Harder bristles will cause micro and not so micro abrasions. I use paint brushes of various sizes. If it's caked on (moisture combined with dust) then it's not as simple. That's the cheapest and simplest option IMO.
Other options are compressed air blasts and vacuum with a filter of some sort in case pieces get sucked up.

Available in which set?
I just use a soft paint brush
RE: Those Playmobil GB sets... dang, they look pretty nice.
But I just can't go down yet another Rabbit hole... Playmobil has lots of nice stuff and it would be very tempting to start collecting it and building a Playmobil city... I don't have JANG-levels of space and $$$ though

So after a year of no Lego sets (except the Yellow Sub as a gift for my dad) I finally bought some new Lego for myself. I finally got my job back and had a really horrible 3 weeks leading up to it, and I was at Target and saw two lone MiniFig bags, one for Series 16 and one for Batman, so I thought, you know what, I'm gonna treat myself.
Got the Swordsman from Series 16 and normal Robin from Batman! So happy I got him. I want all of them but getting him as a surprise was fantastic, he is so damn adorable!

Thank you!! It's gonna be slow to start, I have a lot of more pressing things to buy once money starts coming in again from work (which is REALLY bumming me out because I want to promo Batmen SO BAD) but I can't wait to start buying and building again!
Was in the Lego store grabbing Krennics shuttle and U wing and was shooting the shit with an employee today. I was seeing if he had any insight on this years 2017 UCS sets and he made an interesting comment. He had said for the couple of years he worked there, all the rumors seemed to come true. So while it looks promising for a snowspeeder as a pretty sure bet, I'm beginning to believe a bit more in a falcon re-release. He also speculated that the falcon could come with two sets of figs - OT and TFA - to match with the two radar dishes... I don't think I've heard anything like that in the rumor mill. That'd be pretty sweet.
That's a really cool idea!

Glad things are looking up - are you not at the LEGO store in CA any more?
Hmm..UCS Falcon is going to be really expensive. I mean REALLY expensive.

Does LEGO still have the Ghostbusters license? -- I realise Playmobil is still is not a construction toy -- but I still haven't decided on the GB Firehouse soon.
If some people are willing to pay $4,000 (USD) for 10179 then.....

Idk if you'll find an opinion like mine, but here goes:
I am a HUGE Ghostbusters fan. Wetwireds Ecto-1 brought me out of the dark ages. I bought the Firehouse and have it in my Top 5 from last year. It was worth every penny.
I sold it recently.
While it's a fantastic build filled with tons of nostalgia and neat "ah-ha" moments, it's a huge, relatively boring piece to look at. It takes up a lot of room and the neat interior builds help break up the super-repetitive exterior but once built, it's kind of just "there."
If you have the space to display it opened, or want it for parts, go for it. If not, spend $350 elsewhere IMO.

I was a Playmobil kid (Lego was not available here until I was an adult). Later in my life I found myself still liking Playmobil, and bought all 2006 Egyptian sets, making a nice diorama display. The problem with Playmobil is that they are much larger in size, so any city will take a least 3 times more space than Lego. I had to give up my Playmobil addiction due to lavk of space and cannot fall into that Rabbit Hole again.
