I was hoping for a Deadpool set to tie in with the movie, although the scarecrow and killer croc ones for me will be definitie purchases;
I tend to stick to Star Wars, Marvel, DC and Hobbit Lego,
Whats the city stuff generally like, I like the look of a lot of the models but they just don't hold the allure that the above sets do for me!

If the Deadpool film is an R-rated movie you won't get any Lego sets for it. That would be against the company ethos. However, a Deadpool minifig exists from a couple of years ago. -Ralph

City stuff is good. You get more bricks for the pricepoints compared to licensed sets.

yeah Goblin King and Lonely Mountain, what you wanting to know? I'm looking to get a larger set for my collection, was just wanting to know which one you thinks best. I'd probably want to go for LOTR sets more than the Hobbit though, having said that the Lonely Mountan set interested me. What's it like in terms of value, playability and size? My first 3 choices were probably Helms Deep, Tower of Orthanc and Battle at The Black Gate. Tower of Orthanc is very expensive and Battle at The Black Gate has a good degree of playability but the colours, lack of detail and design hinder it, none of which can really be helped as its a black gate at the end of the day.

I think Battle at the Black GAte will be my next purchase it looks ace(also includes white Gandalf and Sauron!), Lonely mountain has more playability and use than the goblin king(Smaug is an ace figure also), goblin king set looks nice and the mini figure is ace but as far as big sets go im not overly in love with it!

The Smaug figure is what initially drew me to it. It's not Sauron that's in the Black Gate set, it's the Mouth of Sauron and his horse.

OK, so this has meant that I've got my old minisets out from way back when and I wanted to see what had happened in the meantime... brickset.com/sets/theme-Star-Wars/subtheme-Mini-Building-SetMy collection got to 6967, also includes the 3 Kabaya Gum sets with X-Wing, Tie Fighter and Slave-1 in green Boba Fett colours. Somewhere I have the instructions for a mini Tantive IV ship that Phil linked me at, which strangely isn't listed on Brickset. Maybe it wasn't official? Probably similar to the one that came in the planet set 75011 years later.

Red hazed at the Lego Store this afternoon. Nexo Knights sets bought, new minifigs and my head was in the custom minifig box so an M Scientist Battle Pack was created. At least the Pick a Brick wall was depleted enough to make a run on it not worthwhile. Saved!
I will return on Thursday accompanied by Joy who will prevent similar hazing with her Hard Stares... unless of course she must have all the NK stuff too.. as I predict she will.. ah ha ha!
It should be noted that I was supported through today's red hazing by a constant stream of kindly texts from young Ralph. Bless his cotton socks.

Ooh, how is the NK stuff? The new catalogue dropped through our door yesterday and my daughter likes the look of it (so do I!). A Chima-like magazine should be hitting in the next couple of weeks too. I was in the John Lewis toy section yesterday looking for a treat for her, but the Lego section has been gutted. City is all the big boat / train sets, and very little to speak of from any of the other lines (stacks of Wall-E though). -Jim

How is it? I MUST HAVE IT ALL!
Best seen in a Lego Store on display I'd say. The Glasgow one has every set out on display from the looks of it. The sets look well built and like lots of fun and very reasonably priced.
Saw a couple of sets in John Lewis as well.

I was tempted by the Mega Bloks Minions Castle, seen it reduced yesterday as well. That NK Fortress looks pretty funky though, how much is it?

It's listed at £79.99 online. The Library 2.0 set can also be used to expand it in size.

That's a decent price given the playability of it but makes it more than the Minions castle and Lego Helms Deep on ebay so it's at the back of the queue for now.

The Minions stuff is Mega Bloks. There's some fun sets in the range, I've got a few of them. The castle has the usual pully systems, bridges, collapsing floors, levers and booby traps. With the addition of having Minions with it.

Supermarkets generally have a lot of Lego sets on clearance right now to make space for the 2016 stuff so I was able to claim the long lusted after City portaloo set. I also grabbed the entire Ant-Man movie range on clearance. As this consisted of only 1 set this was a completist urge that was easy to achieve. Now a minifig Michael Douglas...is mine!

It was but I got it at £13. There only was one set for the Ant-Man movie. I'm not sure if Ant-Man himself has also turned up in any other general Marvel sets.
