Re: 10254 Holiday Train Creator Expert LEGO Official Press R

For $100 we got Emerald night. A far superior set. Alittle bit disappointed with this set. Emerald Night is undoubtedly a great set, but you're not comparing apples to apples. It came out in April of 2009 - 7.5 years ago. It would most certainly cost more than $100 if released today. Aside from tha...

Re: 10255 Assembly Square LEGO Modular Building Official Pre

It looks great, though I'm disappointed they didn't break up the buildings into distinct baseplates. The only thing that bothers me a little is that it's wider than a standard modular. And the reason it bugs me is that I had planned to make a display of all of them together in a square (four corner ...

Re: LEGO Ideas Third 2015 LEGO Review Results

I've lost so much interest in Ideas, it's not even funny. At least the Saturn V selection keeps up the tradition of the Ideas/space exploration subtheme. Really disappointed that the National Parks didn't make the cut, though I guess I understand from the standpoint that it's a very America-centric ...

Re: Disney Infinity

Target had an insane deal last week, where the figures were reduced to $6.99 and then there was a Cartwheel coupon for 60% off - which stacked! The only figure I had left to pick up was Nemo, and fortunately they had him. Paid $2.79 for him. Up until now I had bought most of my figures at Best Buy u...

The only thing that's disappointing about this set is the lack of Goofy and Pluto. Other than that, it looks incredibly detailed and designed.

Look, kids... Big Ben, Parliament...

It looks pretty incredible, if a bit of a repetitive build, but such is architecture.

Re: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Summer 2016 Sets (76057 76058 7

Ghost Rider the character is awesome, and no amount of Nic Cage movies can change that. That's like saying no one likes Superman anymore because of Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (not to mention the luke-warm reception of Superman Returns and the mixed opinions on Man of Steel) - ...

Re: Free shipping minimum now $49

I think it has nothing to do with losing money, I think it has everything to do with Prime. How does that not have anything to do with losing money? Free shipping - Prime or not - particularly on large items, is killing their bottom line. There are plenty of articles out there that address that ver...

Re: Free shipping minimum now $49

Honestly, I'm shocked it took them this long to increase it again. I can't imagine how much money they were losing on shipping differences. That said, we have prime so it's no biggie to me.

Re: LEGO Star Wars 75148 Encounter on Jakku First Look

Hm.... I realize that it's based on a scavenger outpost, but Unkar's building was much more complete than that in the movie. It looks like a set in the middle of construction.

Re: GameStop Silver Centurion Iron Man polybag

The guy said that a large number of people said no to the polypag when they picked up their game. Can you believe it? That seems so silly to me.
