If you're not in a rush to buy wait and see if Smyths have a sale. They usually do a 20% sale during the year, it may not be until around September. But well worth the wait if you are getting something of that value.

That's as good a reason as any! I haven't built either of them but if I was buying one, I think the Kwik e mart looks the better of the two.

I was leaning towards that myself.

I'd love if they did the Power Plant, Moe's, Krusty Burger, Comic Book Shop or the School

It'll be the end of June after my exams by the earliest when I go to buy.

I might get lucky and they could run the Vouchers in the paper again

I'd say the power plant would be too large a set for them to release and they'd never do Moe's because it's a bar but there were rumors last year that the next set would be the Androids Dungeon (comic book store). Although I also heard that the Simpsons minifigs series 2 were the worst selling series so maybe they've scrapped the theme altogether?

Outside of anything they might produce for Lego Dimensions, Lego Simpsons is apparently done. The second wave of minifigs didn't shift at all. Shame as they're excellent molds. Having said that, the first wave was the first line of CMFs I completed, but I've only four of five of the second and I was just not bothered getting any more.... although the 99 cent price might encourage me. It looks like the Disney stuff has taken the Simpsons slot.

I've both the House and the Kwik-E-Mart. I wasn't entirely sold on the Kwik-e-Mart at first, but now that I've built it I prefer it to the house.

Guy Incognito

I have the house and the Kwik-E-Mart too. If you're looking for the more accurate version of the actual building from the TV series, go for the Kwik-E-Mart. They are both really detailed but they had to compromise on the size and shape of the rooms and some of the features of the house. I'd agree with waiting for the 20% off in Smyths since I doubt they will sell out of these expensive sets any time soon.

€220!!!!! Giving their recent war on wallets I'm surprised. I was guessing 350 easy. Then again, Lego have caught an awful lot of flak for the pricing of Hoth and the Batcave. I wonder if this is a response to that.

NinjaTruncs

I expect the price is lower as there are no licencing fees for this. While the other two you mentioned a good chunk will go toward licencing and then all the minifigures will add to the price too. That is a cool looking set though.

Necronomicon

If I was going for a London landmark I'd still opt for Tower Bridge. I've looked at it wistfully for so long, particularly since I started working a stone's throw from it. It will probably disappear soon, though, particularly with the release of Big Ben.

HorseSea

That price was a nice surprise especially after Ghostbusters. This has definitely gone on the shopping list, Ghostbusters will have to wait for the Lotto.

Would anyone have a couple of Plate 1X1 W. Holder in red to spare?

Great-looking set. Really solid. Almost like a half-way point between Lego and Technic.

I'll have a poke around in the parts box when I get home.

How many do you need ?

Rhyme

Couldn't find any in red, think I may have nabbed them for a Comic-Con set a while back.

Surprising lack of red pieces in my stash actually

Sorry.

Has anyone built the Ghostbusters firehouse? Thinking of getting it as a surprise for someone but is it worth the high pricetag?

It's quite pricey but everyone I've spoken to who wants it or has it says that it's fantastic. A few of the staff at Brickset listed it as their set of the year as well.

If you order from the Lego online store and the amount is over 55 euro, you get a free gift most months. It's a little fountain for June and, I think, a little Knight set in July.

Images gone but enough details left. Very excited for the AT-ST as I'm selling my 8038 Battle of Endor set. 49.99 should be enough of a price for a well-built AT-ST along the lines of the AT-DP from last year.

Have seen a few sketches of the U-Wing and Striker so will be curious how they transfer to Lego.

Imperial Shuttle might be that big thing in the trailer, not as interested for that but the minifigures attached will probably be incredible.

EDIT: Never mind, a quick google search for 'Rogue One Lego leak' provides the images in low-res. If they are real, the Striker and Shuttle look great, the AT-ST is pretty good but the U-Wing is a bit bockety.

Has anyone had a set recently which was missing a lot (more than 5!) of pieces? My OH picked up 31052-1 Vacation Getaways as a Bank Holiday surprise and it was missing 8 pieces - 2 X 4144575, 1 X 4210639, 1 X 4529685, 1 X 4567891, 2 X 4612603 and 1 X 6146221. I've had to look for missing pieces before from Lego but I'm talking one or two bits, not eight. Are they likely to even believe me? Kinda soured the experience of a pretty good set!

If they do question it, they will ask for bar code to verify you actually bought the box. I have a few missing out Lotr black gate and got email asking for a code on box.
