I was really getting sick of the ones they seemed to use from 2004-2010. Probably wrong but I felt they never changed. Love the new fire ones, the police ones look like squad guys so that's good too.

That set is awesome. I know the 'bad guys' have a 'loot' chest, but it looks a lot more like Lego City PD is raiding a meth lab.

Yeah I'm excited about the Lone Ranger sets.I hope they look good.Finally some western sets again.

Check your local Walgreen's this week.

Minifigs should be BOGO 50% off. YMMV on selection - my store carries series 8 and regularly sells out - but the store down the street has nothing but loads of series seven. A few stores downtown don't carry minifigs at all.

I think this deal extends to Star Wars Planets sets - but I believe they're marked up significantly - not sure. I'm mostly into the minifig scene.

Walgreen's also carries Ninjago character spinners - but I don't think the BOGO sale applies to them and again, I think they're marked up a bit.

You'll need to sign up for the new Walgreen's loyalty card to get the sale pricing - which can be done in less than a minute at checkout.

If you're willing to research Walgreen's Register Reward program - you could load up on toiletries and other essentials - and get the minifigs "kinda sorta" free. That's what I do. The 15% employee discount helps a bit - but the drawback is ...I have to work there.

I can't sleep and I was looking through the PaB website and came across Brick 1X1 No. "6"

If anyone has time take a look. It's a stone blue 1x1 brick with... a cow in a field printed on it. I have never seen anything like it in my life and have no clue what it would even go to. lol

^Why its a minifigure-scale milk carton of course. LOL

I believe it belongs to 5 different sets in the Friends line
For example like :Olivia’s Tree House

Of course, I have always seen blue milk containers with a cow in a field on them!

That's so cool.


My package from yoyo came...
The Lego box is like 28 by 8 by 3-4 inches.
The shipping box is 24-30 inches by 36 inches by 12 inches at least! It's huge!

Guys hurry! You can now BOGO50 the Super Star Destroyer and Death Star at TRU.com and shipping is totally free! I couldn't resist. With tax factored in, each worked out to 20% off. $319.79 each.

EDIT: Nevermind. SSD is same price on Amazon if you don't need a DS.

The log cabin set is only $21...

Mine is 16x24x16 for the Mines of Moria! The set is 3 inches thick. At least I got a crapload of those air bubble shipping thingies, but I don't think I'll be reusing this box anytime soon.

But what do I get with it? Aaugh! And don't say Star Destroyer.

What will probably be the last great police / city helicopter before we get the stupid huge new piece ones....

Not on sale, but a cool little set.

Got a free Elrond today!

That's not a bad price, but I am not the kind of guy who has a spare $650 to drop on a couple of LEGO sets. My entire yearly LEGO budget is probably right around that.

Originally Posted by bigdaddy How much did you pay for it? Because on the main Creator sets screen it's on sale, however once you click on it or add it to your cart it's $39.99, the regular price. There is some crazy shit going on right now with sale prices. An $80 Creator set is on sale on one page for $72, then add it to your cart it's $64. Worth trying to figure what's on sale and if the coupon still works if you really want to try. And I really need to start buying the Creator house more. The other themes bore me, but Apple House, beach side house, and light house would make a great sea side paradise for really cheap.

I know the code expired, but I paid about $20 plus about $5 shipping for it, so the sale price and the code price both worked, somehow.

And yeah, the Creator line is pretty awesome. I have the Log Cabin and the Seaside House, both really great sets. I can't wait to build the Lighthouse.

^Very nice deal, wish I bought that too.

I have the log cabin, and the yellow beach house. The lighthouse is really awesome, it jumps around on Amazon. 512 pieces for $40 is awesome, for $25-$35 would be even nicer. Same with the apple tree house, but that set needs more windows... and apples.

The seaside house just costs way too much. $50 for 400 pieces, it's a little steep. Lego prices are just too damn high.

I'm building the big Alien Conquest set. I really miss this theme already, but I digress. What is up with LEGO being cheap with mini figures? Are they trying to get us to buy more of the collectable ones? The set is $90 and has only five mini figures and the brain slug. It needs another soldier and a regular Joe. The "mothership" is $60 and has 2! Really?! It wasn't as bad because of the $5 set had a human and alien.

Then the new Space theme even has less. A $70 set has 3, a $100 set has 4. None have more than one alien per set! It's starting to get out of hand.

Yeah heh heh, right after I posted here I had the buyer's remorse and cancelled the order before it went into processing status. That SSD is just too big for my Lego room.

Hmm I see the Park Cafe is 25 on Walmart.com but its not available online anymore. Will they price match it in the store?

No, they don't price match their site or any other site.

bigdaddy that Alien Commander from the Mothership is easily the coolest minifigure I have ever owned. Every thing about him is pure awesomeness! (but i'm with you, why are they being so stingy with minifigs )

AC apart from LOTR is my favorite set, and I have a backlog of MOC's i'm building for AC... if I can ever find the time to build them
