Not fan of the angry birds lego.

Reminds me of those cheap Lego knock off brands like Kreo.

Angry birds the Movie seems about 5+ years too late.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Indeed the popularity ship for that has long sailed!

Might as well release Pogs the movie

 

[Destination]

I think you will all be surprised, given the amount of kids now hooked it, rather than adults.

Wall-e's parts arrived and fitted them tonight so now he's RC wall-e!

Just waiting for the neck fix to drop through the letterbox now.

£40 cost in total to overclock wall-e

I took my son to legoland for the star wars event. I saw the bat cave in one of the shops and in the flesh I liked it a lot. I really was not impressed with the pictures but I thought it was a very nice play kit when viewed in person. Not that I'm going to buy it.

Hoth set was still terrible.

Does anyone know if Toys R Us will price match the online Lego Store?

How impressive were those star wars models? I bet it took them hundreds of hours for each set.

Just seen that the Voltron ideas set shot to 10k in three weeks. I hope they can get the licence sorted out, it looks amazing.

 

[plasmahal]

Is it just me but isn't the Hoth set at just over 2000 pieces very overpriced?

Makes the Ghostbusters fire station an absolute bargain.

 

[OspreyO]

Heard it mentioned there little new in it also.

Yeah I meant the UCS models but the display stuff is pretty good too. They have a new 500,000 bit death star. The speeded up film of it being made is amazing.

New trench run models etc.

It's been slated generally, so yes.

Probably the worst and least "UCS" set ever.

 

[no_1_dave]

I accidentally ordered the Sandcrawler

 

[Skeeter]

Wall-e neck fixed arrived. Baffles me that they didn't go with that design originally?

 

[Bipolar Kittens]

Toys R Us are doing free build you own mini Millennium Falcons this weekend.

 

[Diddums]

Oh that's awesome

 

[Nismo]

My daughter went to TrU too to make the Falcon, her and Mum both came away with one

Wall-e's neck mod arrived today from Lego HQ and it makes a great difference. You can pose his head to one side now and make him look really cute.

I'd recommend converting him to RC, shame Lego didn't offer two versions from day one.
