Here's some very quick pictures I took of the Garbage Chomper set:

And my video review here:

Overall, it's a pleasant surprise of a set! I really like both builds. Granted, the "Trash Chomper" build is a bit flimsy. I love the minifigures though, and the price is excellent. :classic:

I'm not sure if I like those 'creative builds' now. I'm not intrested in having an Ice-Cream van or a Garbage truck and I think the alternate builds just look ugly now. I liked the look of them when they were first revealed, but now I'm not interested :sceptic:

I think I'll pick up the rest of the sets like Metalbeard's duel and the Super Cycle chase though.

Or when all the sets are released, I'll go on the LEGO's Missing pieces website for the minifigs that is in the set (such as Normal Wyldstyle, Vitruvius and El Macho Wrestler) rather than buying the set or ordering at bricklink to save more money.

I'm confused, are you saying you'll use the missing pieces site to pick up minifigs? Is this a common, accepted practice? Seems a little dishonest. Still, your right when you say BL is a great way to save money if you just want the figs.

My local Toys R us put the sets out this morning. They had everything but the Rescue Reinforcements, Flying Flusher, and Creative Ambush. I picked up a full set of 16 minifigs and the Super Cycle Chase. When my Wife got home from work she told me she had a $15 off coupon, so we ended up going back and I picked up Ice Cream Machine, Cuckoo Palace, and Getaway Glider.

You can buy thing on the missing pieces site can't you?

Only at the pick a brick website and buy a piece section, but the broken, missing and a piece broke while building are given free replacement parts and minifig parts.

Gotcha, if that's the case I wasn't aware of it. No offense I hope!

Thing is, you can get stuff from there, but it is cheating Lego out of stuff. There was talk of some kind of restriction or even cancelation of the service (don't quote me on that, I'm not sure where I read it) due to people using it to effectively get exclusive parts/minifigs in large quantity's and sell them on for twice the price. As for weather its excepted, I've seen both sides of the argument, cheat Bricklink and the after market from charging stupid money for stuff you want and get a good deal, or that your cheating the Lego company out of money and possibly put a good service out of action for people who need it.

More quick pictures! This time of the Getaway Glider set:

This one I found at Target. Overall, it's a great parts pack! The glider itself is a little unsturdy and it annoys me that it can't stand on its own, but I still love the nice pieces we get in the set- especially the two new moulds found on the Sheriff Not-a-robot figure.

And, of course, if video reviews are your thing...

Just2good where do you have the money for all these new sets? :laugh:

IOUs. :grin:

Kidding, I save up my money I get payed. I didn't buy much LEGO in December sans two (of the biggest) Princess sets. :laugh:

And, believe me, this is only a fraction of the sets I got today. :grin:

Isn't that like stealing because the piece didn't break or it wasn't missing either. I know you can buy minifigs from the buy pieces section if you don't want to get the whole set. That is what I did.

No, that is not like stealing if the price is 0.00 dollars means its free. :laugh: There's no problem about it and they don't ask me to pay for it as long as is not for the very old set like the ones from 2000 or 2003.

Now that makes sense to me. I just don't feel it's right to claim a piece is broken just to score some free stuff.

I thought there was a buy pieces section where you could buy minifigs. :look:

Anyways, seems like I will get Cloud Cuckoo Palace.

And... here's stuff for the Melting Room!

Here's the video review:

And, some quick pictures:

This set is a little bit disappointing. I really wish Wyldstyle's hood piece didn't have all that extra printing, as it makes it exclusive to her. There's something off about the melting room itself, but I do like the design and the play features.

Well its pretty awesome. Love seeing the pics and reviews you put up. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! This means a lot to me! I will keep it up. :sweet:
