I was reading about someone who said the First Order Stormtrooper isn't available in Canada. Apparently on shop.lego.com you see it added to your cart and then at the very end it says "Not available in Canada" and the phone rep said the same thing.

Anybody have other information?

That is super awesome! I love the whale.

Jeez, that's a great markup. I should have bought some. I could have paid for my whole weekend.

Does anyone know if the Oakridge wall has updated in the last 2 weeks? I can't get down there for a few days and just wondered if it'll be worth a visit?

Wow! This is crazy.

That's an awesome picture! I love it.

Too bad there won't be a Woody figure in this set.

Wow. Subtle. I guess they don't want us to take advantage too much.

Thanks for clarifying.

At least feeling for the ones you want should be easier.

I don't know what the conditions are, but it seems like LEGO sets over some amount are on sale for 10% off at Amazon.ca today. The discount will only appear once you've added the item to your cart and started to check out. Very weird. But you do see it before the payment portion, so you can verify t...

LEGO Announced the upcoming Disney Minifigure lineup today, and included pictures. http://brickbrains.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Disney-CMF-2-696x464.jpg Here's the list of the 18 characters: Mickey Mouse Minnie Mouse Donald Duck Daisy Duck Ariel Ursula Peter Pan Captain Hook Stitch Alice Cheshi...

There's a photo of the trophy for LEGO Brand Retail Store of the Year showing Oakridge Centre as the winner! That's pretty cool. They're definitely a great group of people in my experience! Congratulations.

I agree that $90 is pretty overpriced, but until you dig in, you miss that there's a separate castle theme layout included here. I wrote a piece on my site about it yesterday and pointed out that this set could be a lot of fun. People can generate other themed layouts and share them or even sell the...

Toys R Us on Broadway was restocked with tons of sets. Some recent, some are brand new, like the Speed Champion sets and the Carbon Freeze Chamber.

Anyplace else updated?

It is on sale at the official store as well, I bought it at Guildford yesterday.

Not a great build for the price, but if you're a fan of the show, it's a good set to have. Also had a TON of leftover small parts which are always helpful.

Mainly the minifigures for me.

I just want to say "thank you" for letting me join you yesterday. It was great to meet so many talented and enthusiastic people.

I'm looking forward to figuring out how I can contribute to the group in the coming months.

Wow! Nice work. I've seen some MOCs posted for Febrovery elsewhere and it's a great challenge for the month.

It was hard to miss the announcement today, if you follow LEGO or pop-culture news in general. At the end of June, we're getting LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on pretty much every platform. Also an exclusive Finn minifig. http://brickbrains.com/2016/02/lego-star-wars-the-force-awakens-video-game...

Are there any scheduled meetings over the next while? The last public announcement was from 2013 and I'm sure I'm too late for that.

Thanks.

Has anyone found the new minifigs (Series 15) in town yet? They seem to be popping up, but my last round of checks found most stores (TRU & Walmart) still had pretty much empty shelves and definitely no figures, but less anything else really.

Nice work! I'm always of two minds on using LDD or something. I'm a "just start building" guy, but then I dream smaller than you!

Thanks for sharing the link!

Nice job. The things people do with limited amounts of bricks means giant amounts of creativity. You did a great job!

Really nicely done. A compact but fully detailed model, with even more work done to set the scene.

Thanks Rebricker - I need to start doing some traveling to see what's up.

Does anyone have recommendations of the best place to look for NEW LEGO in Vancouver? I'm just getting back into it and want to start visiting places with some variety. Obviously the LEGO Brand stores have a good selection and are pretty standard, but what other specific locations are good for both ...
