And some Jaaaaaaaag's for the roguish chaps among us.
Comics, Games, Booze
I do wonder if this is just a one-off or the trend of the whole line moving forward? The new 2x3 wedge plate is cool.
Now if only LEGO would make a new 2x10 wedge plate in different colors. It would make plane and space ship MOCs so much better.

I did exactly that for our anniversary last year... it ships in a generic brown box. Can confirm she didn’t notice it at all.
Still haven’t finished building it
You can't give someone a pirate ship in one game, and then take it back in the next game. It's rude.

That's why I ordered it over the summer.
Yep! I still have the first gen Naboo fighter and the brown droid fighter. They look so awkward sitting next to any modern Star Wars set.
Yeah once you get into modulars you can't get out.
I have everything from Pet Shop forward (minus Town Hall) and it's basically a $200/year tax at this point.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
On the other hand, I find that micro Endor set super appealing.
Guess I’ve got 23 hours or so to sort out those priorities. Maybe assess a possible Christmas present or two to help justify it.
I'll grab one the next time I go to the Lego store. I don't play Overwatch but the set looks super cool.
Anyone know how well the Overwatch theme has been selling? I'd very much like a bunch more waves! At the least I want minifigs for Lucio and Sombra.
Basically I'm only uninterested in Ren's Shuttle mainly because it is large. It looks cool but not that cool for the price.
I very much enjoy the new Y-Wing. It is slightly longer and the same width as the last model but it does look sleeker and more graceful. The cockpit/nose area is thinner but the lines and curves are well done. It is not a $70 set but absolutely a great $56 set.
Sadly, the $25 off coupon in this weeks' Target ad specifically excludes Lego.
It is my birthday in like 9 nine days, I might do it. Although I'm probably going to be at the Disney Springs Lego store around then.

Hello new thread!
Given that they've already done Simpson's sets, this doesn't seem like it would be too far off from a licensing deal. I would change up the cockpit window design a little bit, but other than that it's a really nice model!
oh wow
I would love this set, but didn't they announce that they wouldn't be doing any more licensed ideas set like 6 months ago?
The ruling is actually that they won't do sets based on licenses that already exist:
So Futurama is probably okay, since they're not currently making sets based on it.
But they're probably not going to accept my Star Wars Sexy Jar-Jar's Pleasure Palace set idea, because they're cowards and want to hoard all the good ideas for themselves.
"Probably", huh?
I was shocked to find out it didn't have a brick separator! I was so used to getting those in every set over a certain price threshold, and this set definitely qualified.
Naturally, NATURALLY I misplaced a brick deep in the plates of a wing, and needed said separator -- and thus had to go fish one of the dozens I have out.
The eventual Modular Museum better be huge!
It looks like it's got one the old Lego one piece hulls, so it should float.
Probably pretty top heavy though.
