ARCHIVE - LEGO Forums (2009-2017)

...Then again, I'm the same guy who's holding out for white baseplates to tie it altogether. You're not the only one. It still amazes me that after so many years of the Winter Village and recently a theme set in the arctic we can't buy white baseplates. Seems like a really simple item that would se...

Looks like all of the Advent calendars are now OOS. And the Friends calendar now has the typical disclaimer exempting it from discounts. The only Lego Advent calendars that show up now are from Marketplace sellers at jacked up prices. Does anyone know a trick to weed out the Marketplace vendors from...

I have to admit that these look better than I expected when I heard that an Elves product line was in the works. Colors are great. I just hope trees will have more foliage. So many treehouse type sets have thick trunks topped with almost no leaves. Need more like the tree in the MMV. Also good to se...

Great looking figure. But I'm conflicted because looking at it makes me remember that terrible movie.

There are several good ones in this series. Goth girl and pig guy especially appeal to me. But I'm put off by the price increase. I understand that costs are continually rising, especially labor costs in China over the past few years. I would hope that TLG would understand that high percentage price...

My guess is the return of Bionicle - even though it seems that's already leaked.

A superhero calendar (either DC or Marvel) would be fantastic. But I'd settle for a Friends calendar that didn't give me so much feeling of deja vu.

At the moment Amazon US has the Exo Suit. Looks like they have 157 in stock as of my writing this. Didn't see anything about a purchase limit (unlike S@H).

Am I the only one who's excited about a Black Manta minifig? I always thought he was the coolest looking guy in the Legion of Doom.

If you folks in North America and Europe think this set (or frankly any of these limited run sets) is hard to find, try living in a country that TLG doesn't give a hoot about. We don't see Mars Rovers or time traveling cars in these parts.

Wow, surprised not only that Amazon has this kind of sale but that it includes the newer super hero sets like X-men and Guardians of the Galaxy. Good find!

ThinkGeek.com has a buy-one-get-one 50% off deal going on. Use code CAPSULES at checkout. Offer expires 7/16/2014 at 11:59pm EST. It's not a big selection, but they do have some SW, LOTR and super heroes sets. They also have loads of great non-Lego items. Deal does not apply to Mindstorms or the Mil...

... I'm actually upset that I missed out on some seemingly great Firefly/Serenity designs. I suggest getting on their e-mail list. Getting their e-mail with the daily design(s) is a good way to not miss a good one while it's still cheap. I only wish they sent the e-mail earlier. Because of my time ...

I have bought from them several times over the years, including recently. Their quality is very good and the shipping prices are cheap, especially for international. Just be aware that their shirts are only available for 24 hours at the bargain price of $11. After that some will be available for &qu...

Another reminder: Amazon's threshold for free shipping is now $35, not $25.

Every May the 4th for the past few years I've had hopes that the Death Star will go out with a bang. The only people saying "maybe next year" more often are Cubs fans.

TeeFury.com has a couple nice Lego shirts available for a little bit longer. Here are the designs: https://images.teefury.com/products_large_images/battle/1395331833_TFX2-Benny-Left.png and https://images.teefury.com/products_large_images/battle/1395331849_right-brick.png Still a couple hours to get...

Not surprised at all. A limited edition super hero minifig that doesn't require attending a convention. Kind of hard to believe it lasted as long as it did.

Thanks! I've been waiting for a deal on the Dolphin Cruiser.

This is looking like the first CMF series that I just pass on completely. And the price increase doesn't sit well with me either, since prices seldom come back down after going up for some reason. I hope I'm wrong on that and this series' price tag is to cover the double-whammy of licensing fees and...
