    It's such a good build, but requires prime real estate for display!

    That's pretty cool. Did they just start doing that? I seem to remember registering online at the first of the year, but I had to get my card in the store. Either way it seems online is far more convenient than in store.

    I got mine last year when I bought the DeLorean Time Machine when it first went up for sale.

    I got mine just over a year ago. It was actually through an order that I put in that ended up being canceled. But still got the card.

    I got mine earlier this year when the Exosuits were released. It's seen some good use since then.

    I had a couple of discounts to use at TRU (15% off thru email coupon and $5 from rewardsrus). I got the Empire State Building from the architecture series.

    Great set, even if only for the figs. . . . (I still can't believe I got that set for $35 at Target using the 50% cartwheel!!!)

    There's a book 25% coupon code BOOKDEAL25 on amazon right now, can probably be used on the Lego books with exclusive figs. Worth a shot.

    I didn't listen to the audio but did he say specifically where he got them? I am assuming Toys R Us as they always put new Lego out weeks before official release date. Like I said, last night at TRU I saw the new Creator and City sets. No series 13 though

    I can't wait to get this set. Not so much for the main content (though the silver Wonder Woman, her jet, and the new Batman cowl are nice), but for the Banana Co. truck and driver.

    The truck is awesome since I believe it's the first Lego tuk-tuk, and it's just such an incongruous thing to have in a superhero set. That'll add some wonderful variety to a Lego street.

    And the driver is even more awesome since someone on Reddit noted that he is, in fact, essentially George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development:

    Banana Man

    The similarities are far too strong to be a coincidence. Yellow shirt, white T-shirt underneath, blue apron, "running banana" design. Even the logo on the back, "Banana Company," sure sounds like "Bluth Company." There must be an AD fan working at Lego. This figure has singlehandedly convinced me I need a Bluth Banana Stand in my Lego city, with this guy inside and Gob outside it on a segway. Heck, I could even lines the walls of the banana stand withe little printed "dollar" tiles.

    Different countries? Or maybe different stores have differing prices.

    So what sets are you guys planning to pick up this holiday season, as there is bound to be some sort of sale going on?
    There aren't as many sets that stand out to me this year (last year was a different story with the Technic Mobile Crane Mk.II)
    What's on your wish list?
