    ^interesting.

    I was going to pass on the Scooby Doo plane set. However, the more I look at that headless horseman, the closer I'm to getting it.

    I have a question for all you folk here in this thread: how do you dust your LEGO? I've always had a problem with that, but I've just solved it by not having my sets out on display (I don't have much room to display them either, so it all works out :lol ), however I plan to rebuild my Skull's Eye Schooner and put it on display on top of one of my bookshelves, and I want to keep it well-dusted and nice looking, so how do you all go about that? :)

    After I get this big CoD set built, I plan on getting the Mystery Machine and doing that one. Then a few days off, then hit the mother of all my builds... The CoD hovercraft. I wince at putting that beast together.

    I've got the Mystery Machine, the Mystery Mansion and the Big Bang Theory set. Which should I build first?

    I'm sure there's a better way, but I use a paint brush. A torch helps see the dust in my case, but assuming everything's coated in it works too.

    Now I'm trying to decide between Mystery Machine or Mystery Mansion while watching Scooby Doo. I can build Big Bang while watching Big Bang. Which would I build first?

    the Mansion was a special order at ToysRUs, I believe a store transfer. The Mystery Machine I got last Wednesday when the Lego Store had them in stock, However The shelf was nearly empty when I was there. And the Big Bang set my mom picked it up at the Lego Store this morning, and she told me all the Scooby Doo sets were sold out.

    Now can you advise me on which I should build first?

    Picked up the Nindroid MechaDragon from WalMart on clearance for $64. Right now I'm saving it for a later date.

    Gotta go with Mystery Machine. They need it if they are ever going to get to the other set.

    I stopped at a rummage sale yesterday and bought an original, unopened, sealed in the box Lego set from 1985. It's the Rescue-1 Helicopter(#6697). Anyone have any idea what it might be worth? I looked on ebay but all I could find for sold listings are loose sets, nothing new. I only paid $8.00 for it so I know I got a great deal.

    No Mystery Machine off the trucks at TRU today even though they said there would be more :( 

    Decided to have one delivered to the Barnes and Nobles near by. Didn't hurt that the Customer Service girl was very cute lol

    I was just watching the History of Lego, and now I've become obsessed with build more Lego.

    I think Scooby Doo is going to be one of the most successfully Lego themes. It's just selling out everywhere.

    Scooby can just drop them like bombs with the biplane.

    Just the smaller sets. I see the big ones everywhere. Such is the case for first releases.

    Yeah the Scooby sets are selling out because they are new. Mystery Machine is the first to go because it's an iconic vehicle.

    Speaking of - anyone who found the Mystery Machine at Target have the DPCI? Lego store and TRU's are sold out here

    Damn, I had no idea the scooby sets were going to be such a hot ticket. Good job guys! Hoping for more old school sets, danger mouse, ducktales, jabber jaw, etc

    Also I find brickseek.com quite helpful in finding dpcis. It shows the nearest targets that have them, too.
