Lego

Wow, I just wanna start off by saying I think it's epic that there are LEGO-fans here as well

I have collected LEGO since I was... I dunno, 4, maybe 5. I bought and received so many sets when I was young that, at the moment, I literally have no idea where to put it all.
I do still collect, however. Though I limit myself to Star Wars.
Except in April/May the new Super Heroes theme will arrive, which includes Superman (my all time favorite superhero ) and LEGO from the upcoming movie The Avengers

They are coming...


Will be then a death confrontation with the Marvel minifigs by MegaBloks?

By the way... the Hulk looks... great!

Yep, shouldn't be long now.
Can you buy them in Spain, yet?

The Hulk looks great indeed, they all do. But my favorite is Iron Man

I haven't seen them yet.

Hm, yeah.
I expected as much. From what I know, there are some stores in the U.S. that have them, but that's about it.
The Batman and Superman LEGO is on sale since January, though, in the U.S. and U.K.
I really don't think that's fair

Yesterday I saw the first boxes in a shop. They had both 'Marvels' and 'DC Comics'. There were minifigures sets and a bigger version like the bionicles of Batman, The Joker and Cpt. America.
The minifigs of Captain America and Batman... weren't really nice...
Catwoman...
Wolverine was fine but hadn't the hood. The face and hair were really good.




The prices... nothing for less than 15€.

Yeah, the prices suck
It makes sense, though, considering it's a license and everything

Cool that you have them there. We got them here too now
Though not the Captain America-set yet, or the Bionicle- versions.
We do have the large Helicarrier set (with the Hulk) and the Quinjet

New minifigs at home.
Last Saturday I saw an offer of the series 7 for 1,90€ (I've seen the series 6 for 2,40€ each )... and Tarzán (jungle boy), the Piper and the Black Knight came to home.
They join the Highlander and the Roman Legionary from series 6.

Total account: 23 minifigs from bags. 11 Star Wars characters. 5 from legoland and old sets, plus 3 'primitives'.

From the future series 8 I'd like to get the diver and the 'conquistador'. The Lederhosen guy is funny but I'd prefer it with a jar of beer instead of a pretzel...

And behold, the attitude that got us all shelling out through the nose for licenses of any kind.

no, it dosent. just because it has a copyight sign on it dosent mean it should cost more than Mega Blocks*





*Just kidding, fuck Mega Blocks

Now I'm in our summer house in countryside, which is my Lego Paradise (almost all of my Legos are stored here), and Recently I have wiped out a swashbucklin' Pirate hideout, complete with lookout tower, pier (and sailboat), cannon, campfire and treasure chest. It has 6 pirate minifigs, plus one imperial officer, fighting with 1rst mate on the pier....

Do you remember this?

Lego just announce this is being released.

A UCS Tumbler

Costing $199

thought the thing I'm excited about is this:



FREAKING LEGO HEATH LEDGER JOKER!!!!!!!

[Jetpack-guy]

Turns out the users here are much more into Lego than I realised...

I am more into collecting than when I was last here, with me having my eye on the Civil War sets,
http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Marvel-Super-Heroes/subtheme-Captain-America-Civil-War

I have the cheap one and the big one is on his way, (Giant-Man looks awesome!) and I hopefully will get Black Panther in the next few months!

Unfortunately, Lego's prices have arise so much.
Even the minifigures' blind bags (over 3€ ).

[Eggyslav]

Yeah, that's a bummer, I paid almost 500 PLN (circa 100 $) for my Pirate ship, but I don't regret it:



And then I went on Lego Exhibition at Warsaw's National Stadium and bought myself a souvenir:



I never was into Ninjago theme, but these sets have some cool parts, and I like their Steampunkish "Sky Pirates" theme...

[Jetpack-guy]

The most I spent on one set was the Kwik-E-Mart:



A cool $200 when I was in Florida, it's the only 100+ set I've got so far but as I now have a job (and a student loan...) maybe that will increase in the near future.

Jealous. I want both the main Simpsons sets so badly; I've got all 32 of the separate figures but those main sets cost a freaking fortune over here.
