After spending most of the year bricklinking the Barad Dur, it's finally done with a few modifications, it stands 45 inches tall. Thanks to Kevin at BrickStruct for creating the instructions. The model still needs a couple of mods that I will do when I have room to display it.

75173 Luke's Landspeeder is such a hot seller that it is important that 2 more be on the market. How could it possibly fail? I'm excited for them release "Mos Eisley Cantina Parking Garage" - Overflow parking for all your landspeeders!

So now we know that George and Jerry were the ghost writers of The Last Jedi.

I don't mind the social engineering in general (something has to tell people what they should be doing). Using it to create inclusiveness can be an overall positive for society, but nowadays it is being used to create divisiveness (which can lead to horrifying consequences).

There are now two helicopters instead of one.

Man... some of you guys with your Disney conspiracy theories... “Disney is poisoning the water so we’ll all fall in line with their female empowerment agenda!!!” “It’s a Small World was an inside job!!!” Until Star Wars films stop making billions of dollars each on a consistent basis, enough with the attitude that Star Wars is passé. What a ridiculous notion. It’s true there are many more franchises and series in regular release patterns but Star Wars is still king, with Marvel right there with them for the foreseeable future.

Some stuff demand a warning of some sort ... my eyes are burning .

She gets us. She just doesn't respect us and cares more about pushing Disney's NWO agenda. At least in TFA Poe was a cool guy and I really liked the camaraderie between the new characters. It was the best thing about that movie. They literally threw out everything good, cool and fun about Star Wars with TLJ.

My teenage daughter (and her friends) think that this is the best Star Wars movie ever (Reylo forever).

Sorry, I'm gonna be "that guy" for a moment here: I see these complaints all over the internet and I just disagree with every single one of them as they're mostly answered within the movie and cleared up in a second viewing, if not during the first: 1. She doesn't "beat Luke". She beats an old man. Luke isn't using the force and Rey is. Also, If I recall correctly, Luke blew up the Death Star using the force about a day or two after meeting Ben Kenobi. The force is guiding her, just as it guided Luke. 2. Ships can't jump to and from hyperspace within such short distances without causing damage or death. They're also toying with the Resistance. In fact, THEIR PLAN ACTUALLY WORKS until Kylo fucks up and lets Luke get in his head on Crait. 3. See above. The First Order would have destroyed The Resistance were it not for Kylo Ren. 4. Snoke IS weaker than the Emperor/Vader. He is not Sith. If we are to assume that the Sith are the most powerful evil Jedi in the galaxy then Snoke does not hold a candle to them. 5. Poe was not told of the escape plan because he had just disobeyed direct orders from Leia mere hours earlier. Also, the whole theme of the movie is failure. Poe's failures. Luke's failures. Finn's failures. etc. YODA SAYS TO LUKE THAT STUDENTS MUST LEARN FROM FAILURE AS THAT IS THE GREATEST TEACHER. 6. Again, see Kylo Ren. 7. If this felt like a final episode to you then congratulations. It's actually quite open ended IMHO. There is a spark of a rebellion again in the galaxy. General consensus is that episode 9 will open several years later with the rebellion picking up support among the galaxy and perhaps Rey finding new students to teach with the books she scavenged from Ahch-To. 8. Mark seems content with how his story played out after coming to terms with it. I don't see it as a disgrace. He isn't Jesus Christ. He is a man who had a moment of doubt and then his whole world crumbled around him with the destruction of the Jedi Temple. Rian also had to create a reason for why Luke had exiled himself. What would you have done in Rian's place given where JJ Abrams left things at the end of The Force Awakens?

10% off a different Brickheadz or Constraction figure each month. At the end of the year a free Hoth Han polybag with any purchase.

People have the right to fall in love with the movie, totally hate it and anywhere in between . People also have right to argue and debate why they don’t agree with above opinions. No one however has the the right to ridicule or shame others in regard to their opinion .

Always wanted it and then was let down. Guess just spoiled by today's sets. 5 years makes a difference. Plus numbered bags and highlighted instructions is so much better.

Built a few modulars, working on finishing the city block, have 4 left

More info: Age 12 and over Box Size: 58x48x12cm (Town Hall sized box, bigger than DB but smaller than city) Release in June so could well be a D2C.

My childhood 6285. I know I have all the parts, but still looking through my bulk for some of the parts. When I got it as a kid, my dad built it with me so this was my first time truly assembling it myself. I'll take a picture when I get it finished. My main goal was to have it done before the 60th set comes out and I can build the mini-model.

I still can't part with my last one.

Maybe the Ford Anglia Escape is all about how Ron, Fred and George used the Ford Anglia to free Harry from the house where he was locked up by his uncle...

What about Darth Plagueis The Wise?

Sigh... 1. Are you an expert on The Force? If so, I bow to your knowledge. You either buy the logic of the Star Wars universe or you don't. Just look at what Anakin was able to do in Episode 1 (pod racing, star ship fighting, etc). It was clearly established BEFORE she handled the lightsaber that awakened The Force in her that she was adept in hand to hand combat. She wasn't a farmboy like Luke. She was a scavenger living on her own for some time. 2. As the movie mentions, the Resistance fleet is too far out of range for Tie Fighters to succesfully chase them. They are too close for them to jump in front of. You either buy the explanation or you don't. Hey, by the way, how do you feel about sound in space battles? 4. There was never an official statement from Disney or LucasFilm re: Snoke. Andy Serkis mentioned in an interview the following: "When asked if his character is more powerful than Darth Vader and the Emperor, Serkis said: “Oh, without question. He has limitless resources, let’s put it that way.”" Doesn't seem like it really answers anything and it certainly isn't canon. 5. It seems like you missed the entire point of Finn's purpose in the film. In TFA and the beginning of TLJ, Finn was only looking out for himself and Rey. He had no investment in the Resistance. He only went to Starkiller to save Rey. He was JUMPING SHIP to go find a place for him and Rey to rendezvous away from the Resistance fleet. The whole purpose of going to Canto Bight and failing on the Supremacy was so that he could learn that there was more to the universe than just him and Rey. I refer you to the fight with Phasma where he calls himself "Rebel Scum" and the ensuing battle on Crait where he is willing to sacrifice himself (albeit stupidly as Rose and Poe call out). 8. Believe what you want about Mark Hamill. I don't care. I think a lot of people are hung up on the fact that these movies are not about the OT characters. They are primarily focused on Kylo (Ben) and Rey, and to a slightly lesser extent Finn, and Poe. Han, Luke, and Leia are there as a bridge but they are no longer the focus. Believe me, I wish we could have had something in the late 80s or early 90s exploring the early years after the destruction of the second Death Star (even just a straight up adaptation of the Thrawn Trilogy) but we lost that chance years ago. Harrison Ford wanted to move on and we were lucky we got him at all for Force Awakens. I agree that Han and Luke could have been used better, but again, this was all set up by JJ and his writing partnets off of notes from George Lucas (read the Art of books for both films to see how much of George's blueprint is still on the screen).

I talk smack about the inflated amount of Helicopters all the time. As of before this announcement, there were already 14 sets for 2018 with a helicopter element. However, yesterday I just so happened to buy the Building Better Thinking box that includes the Chopper build. SMH.

I wouldn't; Walmart has 4,672 retail locations, Target has 1,828.

And now they’ll have a new elephant

I think he is referring to the box talking about physical mail being delivered. I decided to double check and noticed that my box for emails was checked but not physical mail. Which is strange because I get a catalog and all the other Lego mail that gets sent out. So I have a feeling I'll be waiting until the end of February to get my VIP card, even though I bought mine the day after it was released on the 15th. And that is total bullsh**.... It should not take 5 f***ing months to send out a card. As much as I love building Lego, I'm getting real tired of their bullsh**. Between failed launches, horrible website that crashes just looking at it, etc, it's left quite a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to this stuff.

Tis' the season - If I was holding T1 Camper Vans right now, I'd be selling too

LOLz, as if it’s going to be that good.

Jumanji had me sold at Karen Gillan

Nacho Fries!

Now that the Black VIP Card is arriving, and the talk in this thread has been focused quite a bit on that, I'm going to start moving the last few days worth of VIP card posts to a dedicated thread: Please continue your VIP Card talk there, and we'll continue talking about 75192 here.

You guys are trying to find too much logic in a film series that was found off showing the impossible and blowing everyone’s imagination. If you want a realistic Star Wars film then may god have mercy on your soul. With that in mind I’ll leave this here for you realists to reflect upon.

(Didn’t see a Disney 2018 thread yet, so I’m posting here for now) I was happy to see a Mulan set in the new Disney Princess sets! (41151 Mulan’s Training Day) Wonder if this will perform as well as the Merida set from 2014 (41051 Merida’s Highland Games)? It’s the only “Brave” set released by Lego, and it’s since doubled in price. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing the 41060 Sleeping Beauty’s Royal Bedroom. That one sold out fast and has risen in value exponentially—still blows my mind. If you have this set lying around, consider selling now because there’s a new Sleeping Beauty set that just came out for 2018 (41152 Sleeping Beauty’s Fairytale Castle), and it has both Aurora and Maleficent minifigs, as well as a tiny Merriweather (why couldn’t they include all 3 good fairies??)

We are working on the Disney castle. Daughter is loving it

Finished this off while the kids were napping. It’s -40 with the windchill today so cant do much else...

My daughter loves the winter village sets but is too young, so we built our own with a few new sets from Santa!

Winter Holiday Train. After the fact I wish I would have gotten the power functions beforehand. Glad the same will be reusable for our (still under the tree) Hogwarts Express.

Built the docking bay 327 which will be the new home of my recently purchased 10179.

Finally finished! Holy cow, it’s a beast! Frankly I love it. Wish it had gotten more love. Sooooo steampunk. As steampunk as LEGO will ever get, I bet. Great build. Very interesting the entire time. Fantastic detail throughout.

Lego Mexico City by Fran Escobar

The fact Lego don´t sell Ecto 1 anymore solves that issue!
