I missed TRU. Things were much simpler when it was still around

Only because the low-energy Lego company refuses to make a Trebuchet:

The 30495 AT-ST polybag (many good design elements in a small set) and the 76239 Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown sets. The Batman set is an impressive build and captures the overall feel of the much larger sets well in my opinion. It also a has a new minfigure head as well as incorporating three of the Trans-Black Windscreen pieces also found in the most recent Pizza Van set. The dust that is already on the Batman set is the Bane of my existence…

Yes...Great observation on both accounts. I tried to add more prizes because of the required change from raffle to sweepstakes. In years past, I could load up on a particular prize and charge more tickets for that one prize, but with the sweepstakes is more random. I tried to keep each prize around a $500.00 value, give or take. And like I said, I will work with winners to get them the prizes they want, even going as far as offering current LEGO sets that I can order off of Amazon, Target or LEGO.com. I will probably add another prize or two at least to increase everyone's chances.

I agree, The Dropout is good. I followed her story and watched the HBO doc and 20/20 episode. A fascinating story indeed. I'm also looking forward to watching #WECRASHED when it airs a few more episodes. The WEWORK documentary is a good one too.

I built the Lotus on the weekend and it's fabulous. I echo all the others that say this is the best of the entire line so far. I still have a couple of each of series 1 in sealed box that I need to sell at some point, and I fondly remmebering paying $9 a piece at TRU. Yay LEGO!

Not sure if this has been posted but Rakuten is 10% at Staples as well

It should be fine whatever you order . Never had an issue . Ymmv

This completes my childhood trifecta of vehicles. '89 Batmobile and Ecto-1 being the other two.

90th anniversary castle teaser inside as well

I think Episode 1 did no favors for Maul in its portrayal. Maul was clearly a thinker and to some extent a philosopher. Maybe he evolved from a single-minded easily manipulated brute (much like his "brother") through all his pain and anguish into more of a thinker. His whole story would be a great series...those times as head of Crimson Tide we only have bits of info on. the other stories my dad mentions is that the small towns without schools were typically run by small gangs...hoodlums (according to my dad). My dad and my uncles would go around beating these gangs up as a way to advertise for their schools (sometimes ended up recruiting them as students). He actually talks very little about those days...he hung up his blackbelt when they immigrated to US...my mom convinced him he wouldn't make an money in martial arts...so basically Kim's Convenience is my actual life....

touche, but still anticlimatic...and I don't know about the sense of maturing...but weird to see Darth dying in the arms of Kenobi. respect for for one's enemy but made Darth look truly pathetic. Totally agree on "real" fighters and actual fights. Back in the 60s in rural post-war Korea my dad was part of a clan establishing their martial art school. And back then if you wanted to open a school in a specific area the masters had to challenge the incumbent..."That was the way", winner gets the students and claim to the area. So those were some real epic fights and my dad always said it was a couple of your best moves and that was it.

I was thinking of building that MOC... I have two in the personal collection... Also I was thinking that, since there are so many castles around these days, that maybe our city should just be a city full of castles!

Blacktron, M-Tron, and I guess Black Knights for my friends.
