Well, I'll repeat what I say in every thread like this: I love me some articulation! What usually gets more articulation? Brick built beasties! One thing I've never liked about mini-figs is how limited their articulation is. I really wanted to buy those custom made arms with ball joints and elbow jo...

This was an awesome response to lots of questions and issues! I personally feel this is just a true reflection of our times, if you look at the movies, TV shows, computer games, books, comics and other toys that kids are surrounded by now, it is just different to when we were little. As someone who'...

Wow, I really like those new helmets (especially the wingless ones!) And the beards rule, I wonder what range of helmets and hairpieces they'll fit with. I do hope some hair molds come out that go right along with these (you know, for those times they're NOT wearing a helmet?) Disappointed by the tr...

I saw the SHIP at TRU here in Rochester, NY this past weekend. So, they have all the sets. And they have more Star Wars Lego then you could haul away with a dump truck!

OK, this is an "echo" type post, since I think most everything has already been said by someone else, but not ALL of it :) 1) Ogres (trolls, whatever): I dunno. I think they'll irk me just because they'll lack articulation. Will the head move? How about the legs? Will they have at least as...

Classic Dragons - I never did like them. I have TONS of them, but they seem quite pointless. Very little articulation, they seem so static, they make good statues, but that's about it. 07 Dragons - Much better than the classic dragons to me. They're a bit cartoony looking but much more intimidating ...

And, even worse, I do not like that there is no controlled axle. The drawbar (is that the right word?) doesn’t steer the front wheels. Thanks for pointing that out, I don't know how I didn't notice that. I guess I really didn't play with it enough yet! Very true, I can't believe there isn't a turns...

Impulse sets are usually those little bagged sets that sit near the front counter of the store. The latest example I can think of is the Kings Catapult.

I wonder what these will be like, they'll certainly have a mini-fig each, but what will the accessories be? Hmm....

I have that "I just found whole aisles of super cheap LEGO of lines that don't actually exist" dream lots of times. Heck, there were Goblins in one. And then there actually WERE goblins :) I also dreamed, after getting my first Police Station set, that another Police Station came out. And ...

Building in an alpine meadow, on a warm sunny day, that'd be nice.

I don't take my bricks with me when I travel, so I haven't ever built anyplace exotic, maybe I'll take a pod to Thailand or something.

I'm not quite sure what you guys are all stating. Do you genuinely believe Lego is going downhill and is fairly near to its end, or what? My last reply (and this topic) is getting further away from the initial post. But, to answer your question, I will break it up into two sections: 1) Do I genuine...
