I like the look of the Helicarrier...and I'd love to BUILD it, but I"m not sure I WANT it. Kinda how I feel about the Death Star.

The Helicarrier, my son would love it - though it doesn't have the jump off points that are in his favourite Lego game (Marvel Superheroes).

For those that like the Lego games, they're all on sale this weekend on Steam - $5 CAD for most of the good ones (Lego Batman 2, Lego Movie, Lego Marvel Superheroes -- a fantastic game!) and 5.49 for the other good ones (Lego Hobbit, Lego Lord of the Rings, Lego Harry Potters).

Great games especially for kids who love Lego!

Lego Batman 3 is on at 50% off, 14.99 (lowest it's been on Steam yet). I'm waiting for it to go to $5, since I have all the other ones I bought last round still to play with my kid.

The next Lego Ideas sets will be based on Wall-E and Doctor Who.

Does that mean the Ghostbusters firehouse set is done, off the table?

Because I want one.

The firehouse was part of the design that became the Ecto-1 set too. So Lego knows there interest in it, but they don't want to make it for some reason. Maybe because they already have firehall sets, including the modular.

If people keep voting for Ghostbusters set on Ideas maybe they'll finally make one. Of course, you could always build your own.

Got my SHIELD Helicarrier built. It was a pretty fun build, and a nice looking set. Pardon the cruddy pic of it, though.

This was a pretty easy build, no Technic aspects to it. It was still a fun build, and I like how the stand can show it off 360 degrees. It's pretty solid too, which was a bit of a surprise given how heavy the wings are.
