ARCHIVE - LEGO Forums (2009-2017)

Wasn't me bumping up old posts last night... But I do see that today's (Aug. 13) article links to this older discussion, so that explains the date.

Now at $68.24 - 32% off. Are the dates off on these posts?

Anyone else notice the Commodore PET on the speaker behind them? :)

I tried reloading the page a few times, and was able to order 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout. So I suggest hurrying if you want these!

Walmart's got 'em first! All are a few pennies below LEGO retail prices, but you will pay local sales tax. Sets are: 6865 Captain America Avenging Cycle, 6866 Wolverine's Chopper Showdown, 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape, 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout, & 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle. 6868 Hulk's...

Yay - I hit the 20-post mark, so I can finally access this forum! I managed to find what must be the *last* available copy of BrickJournal Compendium 3 at Midtown Comics in NYC, but I'm still searching for a copy of BrickJournal 01 (Volume 2 - February 2008). If anyone has one to buy/sell/trade or c...

I also bought many lots from EBuyAZOnline in the past. Some really good stuff in there - almost always in pristine condition. It was just about always about $5/pound including the shipping, and I still use that as a reference point for buying bulk lots. Other than EBuyAZ, I avoid sellers with "...

The train motors are definitely easier, but I wanted to make sure IS knew about some other options.

I just revisited the CUUSOO site - I'm not terribly impressed with the selection of user creations. Is it because the site is not very well-known yet? There's definitely way more creativity out there in the AFOL community than the CUUSOO site would seem to indicate. I do like the concept of the site...

No more Design By Me... :(

The YouTube video has been removed, but there are pictures starting to surface from the 2012 Nuremberg Toy Fair (going on right now.) One of the sets features a train (9467 Ghost Train) - I think I might spy some new train parts!

I tried to preorder one of the new LOTR sets, and while it was indeed 10% off, none of the coupon codes worked... :(

Overall though, I think these will be must-have sets. Better start saving my pennies! I wonder if there will be any large "tower" sets?

Too violent? Perhaps, but I thought that was why they initially stopped Harry Potter at year 4.

I have to say I'm completely underwhelmed by these Ultrabuild sets. I own at least one of all of the Batman/DC sets (including the originals) and I just don't see these as part of the same collection. At this point (never say never) I have no plans to buy any of these. Any other collectors feel the ...

Also consider a motor other than the LEGO train motor, they also have the M-Motor and the XL-Motor for PF control. You'll have to hide these inside the body of your engine somewhere, but you have a lot more leeway in the truck design. I have an XL-Motor inside my cab (kind of ugly) as described in t...

If you use the trains a lot, consider swapping out the battery box for a rechargeable battery box. The six AAA batteries will go faster than you'd think, and the rechargeable box has the advantage of a built-in speed control. The downside is the price though - $50 for the rechargeable vs. $13 for th...

Wow, this is disappointing. I've done Robie House, Fallingwater, and Farnsworth House (as well as Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower before) and this doesn't come close to the level of detail or quality of any of them.

TRU has the Series 6 Minifigures for $3.49, but still has the Series 5 at $2.99. Interestingly enough, they still have the Series 4 listed on their website! (at $3.49)

I didn't see an area or topic for WANTED posts, so please let me know if this is in the wrong place! :oops: I've gone through my BrickJournal collection, and find that I am missing two issues, both of which are out of print according to TwoMorrows. Any chance anyone has spare issues that they'd be w...
