The paint roller is just the metal part, its missing the roller part that the paint goes on.
Do you think that cylinder is a correct diameter to put something rolly spiky on?

looks like the width of all minifig grip-able objects, so idk how many wheel-like things fit there. If wheels fit though, that'd make an awesome bit for like landing gear or something. Still makes a great "engine bit" either way.

I really like the look of the Galaxy Patrol series. There should be some really cool parts in there. I also like the look of the Motorcycle Mechanic from Series 10. Tatooed arms could be really useful.

A new, previously unnanounced Star Wars Set. This marks our 4th snowspeeder variant, as well as what I believe to be a new General Rieekan (or Crix Madine?) Minifigure!

According to FBTB, it's only out in the US at the moment. But holy shit, this is a good polybag. Zahru, Brag, and Swordsalmon will love this in particular.
Yup, I already want 5768368765476354757532754 units of it. US only, and prolly won't get it, we never get polybags. Keep rubbin' it in usbros :<
Where do you find this set? I don't see it on Lego's official site. Did some browsing on the web... there's some sites selling it but I'm looking to find it at a brick & mortar store.


edit: Some sites say Toys R Us is selling them. It's not on their website. Maybe impulse buy near check out or on an end cap? I'll have to go check my local store.

Toys R Us evidently had it on their website, but then removed it. Maybe it's supposed to be for some promo, or just isn't supposed to be out yet.

This thread explained a lot: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.p ... opic=76215

I swung buy a local TUR... no luck. They had Gandolf 30213 bag but not Mirkwood Elf 30212. Service desk guy didn't know anything about it.

However while standing in line at the service desk I saw they had a box of Series 7 minifigs. I asked if I could buy some and he said sure! So I dug through that.... there were tons of Galaxy Patrol guys left; I didn't even buy them all! I'll have to wait till I open them to see if I got everything I THINK I got. =) Not a total loss... I'd wanted to get more Galaxy Patrol and Black Knights but missed out on them. Made up for that =^.^=

The Toys R Us by me has like ~25-30 of those elf guys in the bags, I picked up a few on black friday, they're pretty sweet, don't know if they're worth 4.99 or whatever though. I did enjoy the trees for my battlefield lol
