There are never good lego sales/clearances around me, but I did see the Black Pearl at Target for $60 today. I already got it on BF for $75 and was happy with that price.

My Walmart had some $10 Friends sets for $7. Try to beat that suckers!

Toys and Bricks has some Summer set names.

What I find interesting is....

LEGO Castle is coming back this summer! Available August 2013. The logo will be the same as the 2007 one, but packaging will be yellow.

70400 Forest Ambush
70401 Gold Getaway
70402 The Gatehouse Raid
70403 Dragon Mountain
70404 King’s Castle

Now I know Castle was supposed to return which was weird in itself, but I thought castle meant Kingdoms and not actually Castle. I wonder if it will be a continuation of Castle 2006 or Kingdoms, or something new.

And the City sets sound a lot better than the Fire / Police / Crack House sets we just got...

60011 Surfer Rescue
60012 4×4 & Diving Boat
60014 Coast Guard Patrol

Went to a few Walmarts today and found some decent unpicked-over deals. At the last one I finally ran into another adult Lego shopper. He had a Black Pearl and was scanning several other sets while talking on his cell phone. I also saw one last Black Pearl for $50 and grabbed it. He greeted me at the scanner and said he's been hitting Walmarts all morning. I asked if he was a dealer and he said no but was buying for his kids for 2013 gifts. He asked if I really wanted my BP. I said yes, but hey you already got one right? Later he kept coming back to chat with me. Guess what? When I went to check out my BP was mysteriously missing. My fault I suppose for not paying closer attention to my cart.
I totally spaced out I guess, but someone had swiped it from my cart right in front of me because I had my hand on it at all times. I assume the thief was probably that guy who now seems he actually was a dealer if he was indeed the swiper. I doubt a dad would do that nor would his kid need 2 BPs. What an asshole!

Are you new to the LEGO ways? Parents are assholes. When looking for LEGO deals i never stick them in a cart, people steal them.

And I have ed around with LEGO mom bitches. Each have 5 of the same set, when they aren't looking I take one and stick it in shoes. They never have sets I want when I run into them, but I would be an asshole and seal them from a cart, no need for that. I can't stand people like that. Their husbands who don't actually do any work yet get paid $100k a year can live buy paying full price.

I can't really see how Castle could be boring, those sets look amazing, even the Castle. And having a dragon not the most expensive is great.

I hope they have this set, and another refresh later for christmas.

Space Galaxy looks great too for it's future sets. Not too big on the humans though, I like the bugs better.

City sets look good too, not too plain looking.

I managed to pick up the Recycle truck ($14), Mining dump truck ($17), Dino Tower ($12), and 2 Fire ATVs ($2.5) and a handful of ninjago boosters for just $2.

I loved the Dino tower so much I had to get another. the rest I didn't have so it was nice to fill it with sales.

Series 5 for a $1, insane... makes me want to get 20 more Dwarfs.

The Castle sets all look very flat, no real detail. Of course hard to tell from the pictures that are tiny. And the bad guy set looks just like the good guy ones. Need more colors used.

I can confirm the mini figures for $1, I found a plethora of them but left them all alone because the I didn't want to bother with them. EDIT: Star Wars advent calender 50% off.

Damn , at my local Walmart's I have watched the Luke's Speeder for a year and I have never seen it on sale.It was always 24.99.Then on Black Friday they were all bought and I haven't seen one since.
I was just curious around where in California are you at.
My local Target's and Walmart must be crap.I can never find any good sets on clearance.

This is just my opinion but I have been buying the Castle Themes since the 1980's and I find these new sets very disappointing and I agree with a lot of what has been said.
I loved the recent Kingdoms theme and thought it was some of my favorite sets since the 1980's-early 1990's Castle sets.
I loved the Kingdoms Joust set and was hoping we would get more like that.I was hoping we would get sets with the Black Falcon Knights since one was in the last set made.
The Blue and Black Black Falcon knights from the 1980's are still my all time favorite.

Damn Zepp, that sucks... Swiper, no swiping!

Can't believe they're coming out with another Republic Gunship too. Time to sell my sealed 7676.

At least the new castle has a gate house so the eurobrickers won't be complaining about that.

Yo, Zepp-Head, just look for online listings with two new BP's in your area. If the quantity isn't shown, email the seller asking if another is available. That could help you track down the guy who ripped you off....if you're looking to get even.

@Zepp-Head, what a dick! I don't know what I would have done if I would have seen this or if this had been done to me, I guess a lesson learned.

I'm in the Inland Empire, what about you?

Cinema!

Look at that roof!

I saw that too, pretty sweet looking set, looks just as good as the Cafe Corner! What is up with LEGO using "Expert" on their sets now?

It's the new thing. All the exclusive sets will have that label.

Great find! Glad to see pictures finally come around. I'm really hoping these are a huge hit so we can see a few waves.

Brickset has an image of the new Cinema Modular due for 2013. I find the comments section to be comedy. It seems like everyone in there thinks this is the most 'amazing', 'beautiful', 'fantastic' set ever!

Hit up one of my local Wal-marts this morning. they had all the new Chima stuff out and the new fire station. I grabbed a couple of the cheaper Chima sets to check them out. I really hate every last one of their vehicles, but some of the minifigs are cool and will go into my generic fantasy/castle setup Also picked up the Batmobile set for $35, Shelob set for $13, several Creature from the Black Lagoon sets for $5 each. They also had dozens of the police Chinook marked down to $35, Moria marked down to $54, and Weathertop marked down to $40 but I passed on all of those.

Oh nice. I want that set. I'm pretty sure they based that set on an idea from Alien Conquest.

Brickset is known for thinking every set is the best set / theme ever. First everyone hates a theme, then they complain about something, then they go "I need to collect this theme! It has X!"

Eurobricks thinks every set ever is amazing no matter what. You don't agree you better leave. Then they just go "This set reminds me of the best set ever from 1986, and it's even better!!"

I stay out of the Lego talk besides bullet points like the cinema having a cool roof.
