My six year old star wars nut just built this. Its his take on Cloud City. He's got the carbon freezing chamber, some controls, the window for Luke to crash through, and the yellow thing is the antenna fixture that Luke hangs from after his fall down the shaft. I'm going to have to leave my comfort zone of instructions and moc something with him one day...6 points

Eurobricks forum member Just2Good has revealed that there will be a surprise addition to the summer LEGO Star Wars line up in the form of a Rebel Combat Frigate (set 75158). Supposedly it is based on the animated Rebels series and will include an Ahsoka Tano minifig.2 points

Due to a collar bone fracture (bike crash a week ago) I have had some time to watch movies. I watched The Dark Knight and once again I felt this movie is special. Fantastic actors, Heath was amazing, and when the Tumbler kicked in my smile became even bigger. Despite the set is massively hoarded I feel blessed with my 5 sets. Long term wait. And till that time, I will definitely watch The Dark Knight again; "let's put a smile on that face" . As surgery will take place next Thursday I have some Marvel movies scheduled to watch during the recovery period. That might be the stairway to my first S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.1 point

These things will flood eBay for the next two to three years and sell for a couple of quid each. Save your time, it's precious. There's better ways to make money.1 point

That grey wing piece is wicked rare it only came out in 7683 Indiana Jones plane Chase. 98 is r2 d7. 91 a Royal guard. 89 is called Vader's Mask. 8 is Chima series. 14 16 17 42 is a Medieval knight. The tan baseplate leafs me to believe you have Western theme or Lone Ranger. 30 and 9 are Western. 88 is Jack Stone. Selling the baseplates and half the mini figures you would already have you money back plus profit. If you can rebuild any of the sets you will get more. Especially the Star Wars ones you got are 2003/2004 and up. And if you hold them and Start selling around November you will get your holiday bonus early. Last year was insane at holiday time and there's no reason why it won't be wilder this year because of the Star Wars movie coming out in winter.1 point

there are multiple bump codes for the same character and sometimes the imprint of the bump is not so strong. i wouldn't rely on the dots or bumps. especially when these are super easy to smoosh. Donald - gotta feel for the cleft along the smooth top surface of the hat. stubby tail for the win. Peter Pan - pinch for the plastic knives/swords which are joined together in the package. feels like a thin plastic V. nothing else has those - can be hard to find if they are stuck in the paper insert so you might have to shake the bag a little to get it to settle. once you feel the 2 swords attached feel for the pointy conical head with the hair curl on the edge to confirm.1 point

I just noticed at my local Target the Classic Large Brick Box 10698 at $49.99... checking inventory tracker, I see this as a pretty constant price at most stores near me. With redcard discount that's 20% off... I'm not "arm-sweeping" the shelves at this price but just find it interesting... has it been this price long?1 point

I think you're walking too deep into the weeds, Jeff. You're arguing sub-points on sub-points without everybody understanding your broader position. Let me try to sum up your stance: OT was great all-around cinema. PT was conceptually great but poorly executed. TFA was conceptually un-original (but in my own words: pretty well executed). Most look at it from a cinematic perspective so OT > TFA >>>> PT. But you appreciate that Lucas aimed for Mars (despite his rocket exploding before it even left the atmosphere) whereas it disappointed you that Disney was content to return to the moon, so OT > PT > TFA. It's not an outrageous position like people are suggesting. Had Lucas been able to recruit other directors successfully (he tried) then I do think that the PT (same outline and all) could've been awesome (and better than TFA) for the reasons you've outlined.1 point

To obtain a price match with TRU, the item MUST be in stock. Argos T&C state it must be at that price on that day. Print a copy of the T&C to have it handy for Argos,1 point

In Germany football "high season" goes on for about 365 days a year. There doesn't have to be no Championshi tournament or Cup final going on for people to go crazy about anything football. But when World or European Championships are going on, the already existent craziness is even bigger - in supermarkets you'll find 50 out of 100 products to be branded/modified with something football-related, be it sausages, beer, toilet paper (in that order) or whatever. A Manuel Neuer fan would now buy Candy bars, waffle bars, Milk drinks, chocolate bars and always get some fan service on or inside the package like player cards, stickers and so on. It's like you automatically get something collectible by buying a random something although you didn't even care about the goodie...1 point

One of my favorite games as a kid. I remember trying to beat my best time over and over. I'm sure I still have it in a box somewhere.1 point

Exactly. First, the fight is controlled by Vader. Ashoka runs at him for the first swing, and again when he's focused on Ezra, otherwise it's Vader who controls and is the aggressor. Ahsoka is basically trying to survive, not win. This episode is the best fight we've ever seen between Vader and someone remotely close to his skill and power level, in any media. Only the Kenobi fight in Episode III compares. The New Hope fight was weak, in Empire he was holding back because he didn't want to kill Luke, and in Jedi his heart wasn't in it. This was Vader as we've always imagined him and wanted to see. Ahsoka did very well, but she was never going to win unless Anakin resurfaced. The entire point of Vader is that he's the baddest of the bad. There's a reason he's considered the top screen villain in history. No one can beat him unless he allows it. Even the Emperor knew Vader was more powerful than he was. The Emperor is only on top because of skillful manipulation. You can't undermine that characterization by having any one Jedi/Force wielder beat him, let alone someone who probably hasn't had to fight anyone with even basic Jedi skills in 15 years like Ahsoka. I'm sure Ahsoka could stand a chance against anyone else. This isn't to minimize how good she is. The point is that Vader cannot be beaten. You can survive him as Ezra and Kanan did the first time they fought, and as Ahsoka seems to have done here (although that is very open to debate as we don't really know what was going into that cave at the end) but that's it. Despite a good fight and a massive explosion, Vader walked away.1 point

On the topic of buying HH even now at 2x or more MSRP: Phase 1: My son got interested in Lego 7 months ago. I hadn't so much as looked at a Lego in 20 years. All I knew was he desperately wanted new Lego passenger train. We bought and built it together, along with station. Phase 2: I thought "wow this is so cool! These sets are WAY better than they were in my day!" Phase 3: I go online and start looking at what else Lego makes. I stumble onto Haunted House on Lego SAH (it was still up with a SO tag). Jaw drops. Heart rate increases. Phase 4 (also known as the self-denial phase): I do my research, see it is seeing on eBay for almost $400, and show my wife the set, but promise I would never spend $400 on a Lego set (because THAT would be crazy). Phase 5 (also known as "emersion from dark ages" syndrome. Also known as the angry wife phase): I buy a brand new HH for $350 shipped. It arrives in beautiful shape. Wife finds out. (Domestic episode deleted from post). The point of this whole diatribe was that the HH was the one and only retired set I just could never live without. I can pass on all the old Star Wars stuff, pirate ships, TH, FB, whatever. But this was a "biological imperative" - there was no way my heart/head combo was ever going to let me live a life that didn't contain the Lego 10228. I would have paid $500. Today I would pay $600 if I had to (and didn't own it). There is something magical about this set and I feel very strongly that there are THOUSANDS of people out about to have their ownHH moment in the next several years. This set will hit $500 two months, eclipse the Town Hall by October 2016, and leave TH in the dust in 2017. Just watch and mark my words. (Phase 6: new guy thinks he's smart enough to lay down epic predictions at 4:00am cuz he can't sleep)1 point
