    Do you have Space Anthem @OCProwl? Just thought of it right now as it may or may not match with the Space Theme.

    The kids love the Mech Armor sets. One of them decided to design his own.

    Finally built the May the 4th Gift With Purchase last night. It’s pretty cool, the way you build most of it sideways to create smooth surfaces. The build is very recognizable as what it’s supposed to be. Even the little one or two stud “minifigs”, though I’m not sure that metallic silver is quite the right color for R2. It’s not a set I would recommend paying a ton in the aftermarket for, but for free with some stuff I’d already planned on buying, it’d great

    Man, Grievous and K2 were just the perfect subjects for the CCBs line, weren't they.

    Since I don't have my dog with me anymore I actually appreciate finding the random dog hair in my builds now. This morning we discovered our Dimensions boxes stashed away so built them all. Oddly even though she's been gone since January 31 of this year I still managed to get one of her hairs stuck in the Batmobile.

    Too busy with finals to go to the local Lego store any time soon, so how would getting the Everyone Is Awesome set online go? Around what time PST will it probably go up for availability?

    Orders went live just after midnight here, 9:00pm there. Sorry I didn't see this to give you a heads up sooner. I was able to get an order in, this one is probably going to sell out quick.

    No prob, I figured that would probably be the case, so I was ready at 9 and got one. Just got my confirmation email a minute ago.

    Pics of Sanctuary II and Vader's Meditation Chamber!

    7E16CF30-02D4-4FEE-8960-7223642DBC68.jpeg

    I like little Thanos with his minifig-scale double blade thingy. Although that helmet still looks terrible and I'd probably just leave it off. But that Endgame Carol, gosh darn it.. torso looks great but she badly needs leg printing, or at least way more red somewhere!

    74A5B894-E4FD-49FD-81EC-9F9F2D4D54FB.jpeg

    Meditation chamber looks nice but really overpriced for a $70 set, considering like half of it is just the base/ stand.

    Not bad but probably not pick-ups amid the onslaught of other awesome sets this year. Hope we see the rest of the summer Star Wars wave soon!

    That meditation chamber might be worth it for the screen image alone!:D

    Kind of a pity Grievous was the only one of his kind. I never bothered with any of the other CCB figures because they were so...boring. But Grievous' unique anatomy intrigued me, and I was very impressed by how much articulation they managed to wring out of him despite his tricky build. The arms in particular retain a surprising amount of motion, even when linked.

    I did a review of the figure a good while back, when he came out, but I might as well repost some of the cool poses I was able to get out of him.

    I did have it in mind to upgrade him at some point to be a little more accurate, with proper three-fingered hands, and move the toes around to get two on the back, but I never did get around to sourcing the parts I needed for the hands.

    Sanctuary II is so underwhelming.
