Last night I bought a Robin brickheadz, it was too adorable not to. I also picked up a minifig pack in hopes of getting shark repellent burt ward...or pencil head guy.
Saw it, loved it mostly. I thought the selection of mega villains was pretty crap, I don't know if they're all largely WB properties and thus a way to cheap out but they were pretty uninspired when you can use pretty much anyone. Also
Zod being mentioned as just having gone into the Phantom Zone but not being one of the villains who escaped the phantom zone.
Also it seems very odd to me that there's a character voiced by ****** when there's a...I won't say a better choice...but at least a more obvious one right there.

Are those official announcement pics? One of the Spider-man sets has a minifig blurred out, not really seen that before! Maybe they're trying to keep a lid on spoilers now?
I need the chef. The hat/hair is a nice piece and so are the accessories. The Vet is another pick up for the rabbit. Fantasy Dwarf just because I like surly, bearded killing machines. 80s guy will probably happen at some point.

The Technic BMW motorcycle came out in North America a couple of days ago so I picked it up and it is a fairly neat build. It is just over 600 pieces so fairly quick as well, should be easy to tear down and reassemble into the hoverbike build which it also comes with instructions for instead of making you go online for them.
No one noticing that amazing stache on the weightlifter in the back?
The piece has been around for a bit. You can get it on a few different figures like the mariachi CMF and one of the pirates who was in a lot of the Ninjago sets last year.

Is it like a neck piece? Can I give that stache to any minifig I choose?

Man. Had to fight all the urges to buy Lego yesterday.
Sets I saw:
Ghost (2) - Grand Admiral Thrawn
Detroit Steel - Agent Coulson & Lola
2 of the 3 Guardians of the Galaxy sets, only missing the Milano... Baby Groot is so cute!
Hulk Showdown, with Hulk and Red Hulk, She-Hulk and Red She-Hulk...
Yet the set I really wanted, Miss Marvel's set, I can't find anywhere.
I also haven't completed my Nexo Knights wave 3 purchases, but I've learned that Lego doesn't exactly become rare, so I am not rushing out and buying it...
Meanwhile, I've managed to pass a few certification exams, so as a reward for myself, I bought Poe's X-wing (the black/orange one) and build it over the weekend.
Now to figure out what else to put on that shelf.

Bought the Phantom tonight, love it!
The Walmart near me does have all three GotG vol 2 sets, I think I may grab the Milano later.
And I kinda like the Hulk Showdown set, but it is ridiculously overpriced. Maybe even ludicrously. Really want the She Hulks though.
They just put them up at where I work but I just don't know that drive to move and feel better about myself is more of a pressing overall feeling that I really put a ton of things on the backburner

Wow, Toys R Us. I knew you screwed with prices, but this is almost anti-consumer levels of bullshit.
I go in for my weekly check to see if anything new has come out, and I see two things that interest me:
1) Spend over $40 on Lego and get an exclusive Nexo Knights carrying case. cool!
2) 20% off all Nexo Knights products. Double cool! If I stop in tomorrow, I can combine that with my 10% off for the TRU credit card and start getting some decent savings.
... Then.. I notice the prices.
The Fortrex was $115 (normally $99).
The Black Knight was $46.
The $30 sets were $32.
Axl's tower carrier was $84.
Other sets were similarly jacked up.
Like.. I did the math, and the discount on the Fortrex brought it to $91, so less than a 10% discount!
Kinda really pissed me off, especially as I know the prices were normal last week. Luckily, the one item I actually want to pick up with the 20+10% off? It didn't get a price hike.. so I might still buy that.
I hope The Bus and the Vintage Diner pass the review board.
Also I need to know who to kill or blow to get that Voltron rights approved for that set.
I picked up the 4x4 Catamaran a couple of days ago, but haven't put it together yet. I love the look of Lego jeeps with trailers. Always my favorite sets.
anyone know of anysort of repository for microscale builds?
i found a cool one for the scuttler and am sort of inspired

Toys R Us prices for Lego Star Wars sets were all jacked up when I stopped in on impulse a week or two before Christmas. Enough so that I'll never go back there for Lego. Or probably anything else.

Is there a set that contains Alfred...
I'm searching through all the current Lego Batman sets on Amazon and I can't find one.
I don't think there's one yet.
But they have announced the Ultimate Bat Mobile to be released in June that comes with Alfred.

And yeah, that seems to be an attempt at not spoiling something.
I want the retro 1950's space villain guy in the middle front and that is kinda it. Maybe the fantasy dwarf.
Bit disappointed there's no new TIE.
But that Quadjumper looks pretty cool. It might go on the shelf.

Looks like a potential Voltron set is still being considered. Guessing it's waiting on lawyers to work out licensing.

But not all sets. Some are at MSRP. Not many, but there are some.

I'm really sad that Eagle 5 didn't make it. I'm not surprised, but sad.
