Lego and other brick toys

Kinda Standard Operating Procedure for Lego Star Wars sets. (Still pretty salty about Lego Zuckuss being attached to a high-end Boba Fett's Starship, mostly because I waited for it to go to clearance and missed it.)

I am at a Lego con right now. They have a custom printed Cal for $27. I'd be happy to pick one up for you if you want, if you feel like paying $30 for it (should cover shipping).

It's from this site, but it's OOS on there. Will be here for maybe another hour or two.

Edit: Leaving the show. Hope you can get that fig.

Thank you for the offer! I was at a graduation and afk for the morning. We have a fair number of Lego vendors at shows around here, so chances are good I can find one eventually. Thanks again!

 

[MEDdMI]

No problem. Wasn't sure how you'd feel about a custom print rather than official. Didn't even think that custom ones are a thing now.
Anyway, I meant to post this earlier but forgot. TMM and I went to a con held in a gym. Most of it was displays, very cool to look at. Here's the pics I took. Last one is the stuff I got. Apologies for the thumb pic, forgot to delete that one.

I'd have preferred if they had gone with a different color, since the Speed Champions version is already white, but I'm certainly not going to let that stop me.

I resently got the D&D lego kit, still building it (taking my time) and I plan to incoperate it into my town setup, thou I still need to sort out the walls side of things, thou I have sort of got my basic lay out, for now, complete with a market which mostly made of little kits I bought from Ebay and a seller that goes by: One more Brick, well, that their actual website, thou there is things I still need to do with my setup including figure placements!

I sold all my lego sets (save for my Ice Planet and Prime) but this might drag me back

The Brothers Brick got an early copy of Bumblebee to review:

I feel strange about it. My favorite toy brands by a long stretch are Transformers and Lego. I don't have the Lego Optimus Prime because it just doesn't interest me and the same goes for Bumblebee.

 

[Stepwise]

I was over the moon about Lego Optimus Prime. As far as I was concerned, Joe Kyde was a crazy mad genius.
(After transforming it a few times and having the top fall off in my hands, I may have realized Kyde was actually mortal, but still, I love that thing and I stayed up to order it the first night it was available.)

This Bumblebee isn't nearly as impressive. There may be some really cool stuff going on with how it transforms, but I'm just not as happy with how it looks.

LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Collectible Minifigures 71047 [Review] - The Brothers Brick

Are you ready to play LEGO D&D? The new D&D Minifigures series is here, and we've got a full hands-on review! Let's get this party started!

www.brothers-brick.com

Brothers Brick has an early copy of the Dungeons & Dragons Collectible Minifigures. 5 of the figures come with alternate heads with dual printing for extra customization. I am not really familiar with all the nuances of D&D (and whether these are good representations or not), but there's a lot of cool-looking figures in there!

 

[Superomegaprime]

I'm plannig to get a copy of each of the figures to go with one of my two setups I'm working on, one setup is going to be a base for the Lion knights while the other is the Black Falcons, the Lion Knight setup, when its done is going to be the Castle, the village, the Black Smith, plus Traven made from unoffical copy of bricks & the market to be surounded by walls, while the Black Falcons, will be all 3 desgins of the 3 in 1 Castle set, the Majsto Magical Workshop, plus the resent D&D set and a custom graveyard, in my head, the Black Falcons have fallen on hard times and guard the dungeon from the various creatures that appear, plus the local Inn, its a matter of doing things now as my thoughts and ideas evolved over time

Wonder if we could get some space police to go along with the Blacktron faction . . . .

There was a Space Police Swat figure a few Collectable Minifig series back; would be cool to get a ship to go with them!

Just an updated Galactic Peace Keeper.
That's good enough for me.

Off-topic as far as Lego Space goes, but Brothers Brick showcased this awesome Raiden build:

I try to get more bricks to make this bigger every year. Use it as a background for pics on instascam.

Where it started:

 

[Dvandom]

Sigh, last night I got a refund and notification that the convention exclusive Lego arcade game case I ordered for today's Brick Convention got cancelled. I hope that was just a weird one-off "the case got lost by the shipping company" thing and not a sign that the convention will be badly run in general.

Ah, Lego. My other, other, other plastic crack. These days, I'm mostly collecting the NASA/Realistic(ish) Space subthemes when they pop up, with a smattering of other things here and there like the TF sets and other one-off collector stuff. Got a good chunk of 2010-ish Castle and ever hoping they'll revisit the theme in something other than a $400 collector set; used to do a lot of Star Wars, but that line really doesn't do much for me any more. The supposed upcoming Enterprise-D may break me as far as spending that much on a set though.

Just got a copy of this one today myself, haven't even cracked the box yet. It'll look good with the Blacktron Cruiser GWP from a while back and the anniversary Galaxy Explorer. Classic Space and Blacktron 1 were actually a bit before my time as a kid, but I always saw the sets in the catalogs and tried to build them myself - so it's nostalgia for something I wasn't even technically there for.
