We'll have to see how things go with the next series - whether the fact that people can't actually get #13-16 kills sales...

Finished the console platform and chair for the bat 'puter. There's still a bit of tidy up left to do and polish but it's mostly done, I'll need the custom screen stickers too
Also Myer has 20% lego at the moment so I managed to snag these new sets, I had to ring around to find which stores had them though.
I used to scoff at the backlog pics you guys used to post but I'm in the same boat, All of the above, the penguin roller, second GB HQ and the Assembly Square I've still got unopened on a shelf :/

Fantastic, love it. Great chair, and the structure supporting the whole thing is really nice.
I'm not completely happy with the railing and how those supports connect at the top but I've got other shit to build so I'll have to come back to it later if I have time

That's looking awesome Wetwired, totally jelly about the new TLBM pick ups. Before I get those I need to decide if i'm going to get Arkham Asylum or not. Keep posting updates, i'm gonna steal some ideas when I finally get around to making my Batman long shelf with huge Batcave. It's pretty much going to be a mish mash of the Lego Batman Movie batcave and the Adam West Batcave set but I want to make a better Bat-puter like you are doing. I've been thinking of using alot of the parts from the Dimensions Batcave build along with TLBM Batcave version combine to make a bigger one. The baseplate that goes over the Dimensions pad may be a weird shaped piece but it's actually pretty useful in building a Bat=puter setup.
Mine's meant to be a mashup of the LBM batcave and a burton style one, nothing specific though. I can't even hazard to guess how big the real batcomputer is in the movie, I reckon it's at least double the size of mine.
I skipped on AA, looks pretty stale to me. I skipped on the regular batmobile and the scuttler too

A friend brought her three-year-old to check out my collection. He was fascinated by the Carousel and the VW Beetle and Van, but most of all by a little rocket car from Time Cruisers, which I had bought recently just to see what it was all about. Needless to say, I let him keep it.
On another note, I'm making a BaP order to get a bunch of semi-rare parts without ordering from a ton of different sellers. Does anyone know if we're getting anything interesting as a bonus on July 1st, in Europe? In that case I'll wait.

Double VIP on Saturday.
::rubs hands together::
Not sure what I'm gonna buy, but I'm gonna buy something. And I'm not gonna redeem any VIP points because I'm saving them for The Last Jedi sets. And when The Last Jedi sets come out I'll find some other reason not to spend the points yet.

Gotta soften the blow of the Falcon somehow
Hate how the Piggy Bank is timed after double VIP but I should be use to Lego doing that by now. Despite the negatives against Arkham Asylum i'm still leaning towards it because of that fig collection and some of the unique pieces. being a TRU exclusive also makes it worth it to get from Lego store during double VIP. I can do something with the build itself too, like I don't know turning it into a GCPD or something. Oh or mabye a Gotham Academy with metal detectors!

Very tricksy, LEGO. Making me think it is bag by bag, then just dumping it all at once when you hit bag 2.
Thought maybe only certain bags for certain builds in it, but no. All models dump them all.
Oh well. Used to Creator sets being all or nothing, but the beginning was a fake out.
I'm dging toward Saturn V, Slave 1 and Tie Fighter. The first because I need it, the other 2 because they could get canned soon.
I feel like a broken record at this point, but are we still out of luck on this front in the UK? I can't seem to find any trace of it carrying over from across the pond.
Australia is the same, they rarely run VIP promotions globally at the same time, UK will get it eventually though
One site was reporting the EU gers the same double points from the 1st. Also that Saturn V would be back in stock
There was a french banner somewhere, so I guess Europe is included. Might tempt the missus to go to the Lego Store saturday, though as it is the first day of sales in Belgium and the store is in the biggest mall of the country, I am not sure she'll want to face the crowds...

Any good stores in LA with nice prices?
Oh man, I hope they don't remove the Palace Cinema before I get the chance to place an order! Does anyone know, is there usually a warning before a large set is discontinued like that?
Yes. Usually it gets a 'retiring soon'-tag

Store is back online.
The Brick Show put up a rumor that there should be a premiere in London Stores this weekend.

We began building palace cinema yesterday. Feels so good to build a modular again. Got this off warehouse deals a while ago, just hadn't made it yet.

I liked it. The rathtars are pretty cool little builds. The rest of the structure is pretty standard as far as building goes. As far as playability for kids goes, you can interchange the modules (there are three of them) and there's a trap door for a minifig to peak out of. Two of the doors can be rigged to drop open or closed.
But the set really shines on display. The minifigs have a standard expression and a panicked expression so you can pose them in action. The two guavian death gang guys are pretty much in the set specifically to put in the rathtars' mouths and the effect is hilarious. Personally I like the color combos as well.
Negatives: the Han and Chewie figs are the exact same ones from the Falcon.
I would recommend the set for big TFA fans.

I'm interested to see a designer video for size comparison. I'm wondering what Minifigs look like in it because that could potentially be pretty cool.

Currently building Temple of Airjitzu (finally, duh) and...
for those here that have actually built it, how do you pick the whole thing up later???
Is it better to build it building by buidling or assemble it all and transport afterwards? Kinda like Ewok Village in that regard?

This reminds me a lot of my LEGO Harry Potter Triple Decker Knight Bus. I'm sure it's a larger and more detailed build, but it surprisingly doesn't look hugely different from the pics shown so far.London Bus pic from reddit. Wondering if those ad panels will have something also on the back side.

Brickset reviewed it recently as well: https://brickset.com/article/28746/review-75180-rathtar-escape
I don't have it yet, but I'm just waiting on a good promo (or sale). It will make a great display piece, and finally a place to put those Kanjiklub members from the 75105 Falcon.

The jitters around the wheels bug me, I guess Im just used to the extreme polish of the other expert vehicles.
I'd suggest detaching the side buildings, I did not trust the 2 pins to hold those connected to main tower...
So much praise...I really want the guavian death gang and debating if I should just buy them or the whole set.
I left them out but the helmets are pretty nice. I have limited Lego knowledge but they sure look like unique pieces.
