Re: LEGO Monsters Series 14 Minifigures - Now Sold Out

It would somewhat depend on if they removed all bad reviews regardless of topic, or just the reviews complaining about it being sold out.

LEGO in spaaaaaaace!

Saw this on the news last night as a quick blurb on the Danish astronaut's other missions while on the ISS, but they did a 5 second splash about him taking the minifigures with him.

Re: TRU: The Joker's Bumper Car Poly with $30 purchase

My local store ran out of them, they said the got only one box and ran out after 2-3 days, but the clerk also said they shouldn't be out til Sept. 1st, so no idea if they're coming back for a sales run again after the promo.

Re: Review: Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Machine 75902

I agree, wonderful review and a lovely set, but those side stickers.. I've been waiting for a decaf day to actually get them on right.

They have generally released a new Holiday themed medium sized set each year for the past 5 or 6 years.

Re: [Contest] LEGO Avengers Contest

Some of the contests require less than 300 pieces be used, like the Simpson's Microbuild contest last year: http://www.toysnbricks.com/forums/viewt ... 46&t=10640

Re: [TnB Review] 75060 Slave I UCS

I quite enjoy mine, although the stand connects low enough on the ship that I am a little dubious on it's ability to stay upright.

Re: London Toy Fair 2015 LEGO Set Names Revealed

Well since LotR is now officially finished, my hopes rest on the ideas Minas Tirith. It is over isn't it? So we won't get any elven helmets or Gondor troops? I was loving the armor and helmets made available in a few of the sets :cry: Umbra-Manis may mean that there aren't any more movies coming ou...

A few of the comments on other sites indicate that the face is from a Lando Calrissian minifig, and the suit comes in about 4 sets: 7997-1 - Train Station (2007) 7635-1 - 4WD with Horse Trailer (2009) 7641-1 - City Corner (2009) 9348-1 - Community Minifigure Set (2011) (information is from Brothers ...

Re: Classic Style LEGO Fire Station

Love the idea. I've been wanting to take the Fire and Police stations and make a more full structure out of them to at least be somewhat similar to the modular structures, not necessarily sitting between, but this is amazing. About what % of the parts would you say were from the 60004 Fire Station? ...

Re: LEGO Store Calendar, Jan. 2015 (US/CA)

Talked to my local store and they said they ran out of the promo AT-DP in store on Jan 2nd. I don't know if corporate just way underestimated the demand (of course with no minimums for purchase they should have known better).

Hopefully their shipment prior to it's start wasn't the only one.

Re: 31026 LEGO Bike Shop & Café [Mini-Review and MOD]

I really enjoyed the review. I bought this as a gift for a nephew that loves Lego's and is starting to build more advanced sets, and enjoys modifying them, and I like the look and how it integrates with the existing modulars. Did you happen to make any instructions for your modifications?
